 I have created a php script that use $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], for the different 
sub-sections
the links now looks like this 
http://localhost/collection/popups.php/models/bttf/car01/

 
 my web browser cant load my images/javascripts/etc because it is trying to use 
 relative url from http://localhost/collection/popups.php/models/bttf/car01/* 
 witch is incorrect, but the browser gets a 200 (ok) message from the server

my images/javascripst/etc is relative to http://localhost/collection/* 
but my requirement dictate relative url only because I may move the folder  
later to a new location

what are my options?

I don't know where you store your images, scripts, etc. but I would 
hazard in a different dir. What you could do is check if the path 
request you recieve includes those dirs. If so, send a permanent 
redirect to the browser with the correct url. Ie. an error 301 Moved 
Permanently.


Alternatively, what I prefer. Is to have your paths stored in a 
variable, and to simply output that variable's contents as the 
base-path. This way, you can still show things relative to that 
base-path, and when you move the folder, you only need to update that 
one variable (which should be in a config file somewhere).


In other words:
instead of saying go to /absolute/path/to/foo/images/whatever.jpg or 
./images/whatever.jpg you do a:

$BASE_PATH = '/absolute/oath/to/foo';
echo $BASE_PATH . '/images/whatever.jpg';

In other words, you're combining the power of relative paths with that 
of absolute ones.

Hello list,

 I'm trying to learn and get comfortable with HTML forms in PHP. In one
example I am trying to include a file upload in one of the forms. I can
connect to the database but for some reason the MySQL query string is bad.
I've been over this for a while now and I think the problem is with the
form. I was hoping to get the esteemed opinion of the list in where I may
be going wrong.

This code:

!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN
  http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd;
html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; xml:lang=en lang=en
head
  meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=utf-8 /
  titleGuitar Wars - Add Your High Score/title
  link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=style.css /
/head
body
  h2Guitar Wars - Add Your High Score/h2

?php
  if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// Grab the score data from the POST
$name = $_POST['name'];
$score = $_POST['score'];
$screenshot = $_FILES['screenshot']['name'];

if (!empty($name)  !empty($score)) {
  // Connect to the database
  $dbc = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'admin', 'secretsauce', 'gwdb')
  or die('Cannot connect to database');

  // Write the data to the database
  $query = INSERT INTO guitarwars VALUES (0, NOW(), '$name', '$score',
'$screenshot');
  mysqli_query($dbc, $query)
 or die('Cannot insert query');

  // Confirm success with the user
  echo 'pThanks for adding your new high score!/p';
  echo 'pstrongName:/strong ' . $name . 'br /';
  echo 'strongScore:/strong ' . $score . '/p';
  echo 'pa href=index.phplt;lt; Back to high scores/a/p';

  // Clear the score data to clear the form
  $name = ;
  $score = ;

  mysqli_close($dbc);
}
else {
  echo 'p class=errorPlease enter all of the information to add
your high score./p';
}
  }
?

  hr /
  form enctype=multipart/form-data method=post action=?php echo
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?
input type=hidden name=MAX_FILE_SIZE value=32768 /
label for=nameName:/label
input type=text id=name name=name value=?php if
(!empty($name)) echo $name; ? /br /
label for=scoreScore:/label
input type=text id=score name=score value=?php if
(!empty($score)) echo $score; ? /
br /
label for=screenshotScreenshot:/label
input type=file id=screenshot name=screenshot /
hr /
input type=submit value=Add name=submit /
  /form
/body
/html

Results in this output:

Guitar Wars - Add Your High Score Cannot insert query

Thanks again for your help. This is an awesome list!


Tim

[snip]

First -- NEVER post code with your database username/password. Since 
you did, change your db password immediately.


Second, when debugging, if you use the die() function, put out 
something meaningful like

... or die(Problem with the insert query: $querybr . mysqli($dbc));

Once you see the database error, you will probably be able to figure 
out the problem.
