I guess apache is not set up to parse PHP scripts. I would suggest that you
please take a look at Apache's httpd.conf again.

I am fairly new to php to, when I did my first install, I had to learn how
to set up the httpd.conf file and the php.ini file, also httpd.conf has to
be in windows system dir. And after I finally figured that out, I realized
that I had my php file named test.php.txt. HA!
If this doesn't help then what do you have php running as, cgi or module?

If you look at the output on your page when you output the contents of the
mysql text field, you'll notice that the textarea contents is being
returned EXACTLY how it was entered. That is to say, the carriage returns
and linefeeds are definitely there. However, as in normal HTML, they (\n
characters) are considered as white space and not processed as <br> tags,
just white space in the code. What you want is a function to convert
newline characters to <br> tags.
Luckily, such a function exists!

You need to do more work debugging the issue before asking your question here.
1. Is the form in the same .php file as the form handling?
2. What does the source code for the form handler page look like when you
submit the form?
3. What is your code?

I am having troubles with the following script. When executed I get the 500
internal server error page and an error: Premature end of script headers:
c:/php/php.exe in the log files. If I comment out the header() line it
works fine. I would like to redirect to the proper page based on login
pass/fail. Can any one see what I am doing wrong?
<?
// Login script
//authenticate using form variables
$status = authenticate($f_user, $f_pass);
// if user/pass is correct
if ($status == 1)
{
//initiate a session
session_start();
//register some session variables
session_register("SESSION");
//including the username
session_register("SESSION_UNAME");
$SESSION_UNAME = $f_user;
//redirect to page
header("Location: /worked.php"); //<-- problem area.
exit();
}
else
// user/pass failed
{
//redirect to error page
header("Location: /failed.php");
exit();
}
---snip---
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
1. Is there any whitespace before the first <? tag?
2. Where is the authenticate function defined -- what does it do, what's
its code, etc? Could it be returning HTML prematurely?
Otherwise everything looks ok.

No white space at top. Authentication function is in the same script. Here
is the rest of it. PHP 4.1.1, Apache 1.3.23.
function authenticate($user, $pass)
{
// move this to the config.php file
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_user = "user";
$db_pass = "password";
$db_name = "database";
//check login and password
//connect and execute query
$connection = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass) or die ("Unable
to connect!");
$query = "SELECT ID from users WHERE login = '$user' AND pass =
PASSWORD('$pass')";
mysql_select_db($db_name);
$result = mysql_query($query, $connection) or die ("Error in query: $query
. " . mysql_error());
// if row exists -> user/pass combination is correct
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1)
{
return 1;
}
// user/pass combination is wrong
else
{
return 0;
}
}
// close database connection
mysql_close($connection);
?>

Solved. I feel like an idiot.
Here is what I was going wrong.
//redirect to protected page
header("Location: /worked.php <- should be .htm");
exit();
Thanks,

Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] PHP generation of <select> fields
In the if condition, you must use a double equal (==)
and add an else condition to reset the $select variable to "".
Try this:
for ($i=01;$i<=12;$i++) {
if($i == date(m)) {
$selected = " selected";
}else{
$selected = "";
}
print "<option
value=\"".date(m,mktime(0,0,0,$i))."\"$selected>".date(F,mktime(0,0,0,$i))."
</option>\n";
}

hi,
all the trouble i had it with php has been solved php is up and running
without errors now.Mike you where wrong my code was correct but
register_globals was not set to on in php.ini and this caused the problem
also the user authentication issue has been fixed i installed php as apache
module and moved "php4ts.dll" to winnt\system 32 and
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddMdule mod-PHP4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
that solved all the trouble i had after reading the php manual it says
register_globals=on can cause securty issues but if i said it to off nothing
works anymore.
cheers

Erik,
I'm having lots of luck with the 'import_request_variables' command
(www.php.net/import_request_variables). It's a rather lazy way to do it, but
I don't want to rewrite all of my PHP code to do the 'register_global=off'
compliant method.
p.s. I have my servers set up to parse .html files as well - I've found it
immensely helpful sometimes to be able to add a bit of PHP to a file without
having to relink every page that links to it...

While you may be correct - there are undoubtedly sites out there (like our
beloved php.net) that almost every page is processed by PHP. It may only
make a real difference on huge traffic sites or underpowered machines.

It's also immensely inefficient to have your server parse every single
webpage...
