Can't find Security Questions

[rosscoD]

Can someone tell me how I can display what question a user has selected as their security question? I know how to retrieve the securityqid but I cannot find the actual question in the database anywhere. Is the actual question encrypted? How can I display the question if I know the ID?

Thanks

From what I can tell the security questions are encrypted for whatever reason. WHMCS seems to have a decrypt function to decrypt the questions.

Though I am not sure exactly how to decrypt them. Maybe this API function can decrypt the security questions?

Try this:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT question,securityqans FROM tblclients,tbladminsecurityquestions WHERE tblclients.id=".$_SESSION["uid"]." AND tblclients.securityqid = tbladminsecurityquestions.id");
while($row = @mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
  $question = decrypt($row['question']);
}
if (!$question) {
  echo 'No question set';
}else{
  echo $question;
}

For some reason this did not work, I even hard coded the userID and this didn't show a question. No matter what 'no question set' was displayed.

Since I do all my own coding etc I just decided to hard code the question selections in an array and used securityqid to select the correct question from the array. Works as well with only one obvious drawback.

You are running that query within the context of the whmcs system correct? I just re-verified the folliwng snippet of code by appending it to the bottom of the clientareadetails.tpl template and it worked like a champ:

{php}
$result = mysql_query("SELECT question,securityqans FROM tblclients,tbladminsecurityquestions WHERE tblclients.id=".$_SESSION["uid"]." AND tblclients.securityqid = tbladminsecurityquestions.id");
while($row = @mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
  $question = decrypt($row['question']);
}
if (!$question) {
  echo 'No question set';
}else{
  echo $question;
}
{/php}

And just for a sanity check, does the whmcs admin page for the client (Clients Profile -> Profile Tab) show a security question set?
