So I linked to the page from page X, previewed page X in IE and clicked the link and was taken to C:\sites\geosymbols\waldman.php That's weird.

The file:// scheme or the c:\... means that the browser is reading the file directly from the hard disk. The page is not being served by your web server (which I assume you have setup on your local machine). When the browser reads a file from the hard drive, it will display the contents (if it can), parsing out and rendering HTML as it goes. For example, create a file with a php extension with the following contents:- ?php phpinfo(); ? H1This bit is html/H1 Save this in your webroot. Here we have a page that has both html and php in it. If you view this using the file:// or c:\ methods (as used by dreamweaver's preview by default) you will see the H1 rendered and none of the php code, but the php code will not have executed. Compare that with browsing via http://localhost/mytest.php. You'll find that the php has executed and you have the html rendered out below. When testing pages locally the best way to do it is to have a browser open and explicitly browse to http://localhost/dirname/pagename.php /snip Alright, it sounds like a go. Thanks for all the tips. snip I think you'll find that having every page in a separate folder will create an internal link nightmare. I would be inclined to structure your site in a more standard way and use Apache's rewrite module to create the http://site.com/dirname/ style urls you are talking about. You could also use the rewrite module to allow people to request a page with an htm extension, which is translated into, eg: a page with a php extension, a query string passed to a specfic php page, etc. That way you keep search engines and bookmarkers happy but retain your development freedom. It effectively inserts a configurable layer between the browser and the server where you can manage the type and appearance of urls that apply to the site. ISAPI url rewrite filters are available for IIS if that's your server flavour. Hope this helps.

Hi David Am Freitag, 20. Juni 2003 04:13 schrieb David Blomstrom: I joined this list a few weeks ago because I wanted to learn about php. Unfortunately, I still haven't found time to study it in any depth. Thus, my question might be a bit amateurish, but it's fairly urgent, so I'd appreciate any feedback anyone cares to offer. I'm working on a new website that I need to get online by the end of this month. I had wanted to do some stuff with php on it, but there's no way I can learn php and apply it before the July 1 deadline. No problem - I'll just add the php later. The catch is that my pages will be registered in search engines with URLs ending in .htm, something I'll have to address when I switch to php. Then I saw a discussion on another forum about a guy who was planning on changing all the .htm extensions on his webpages to .php, whether those pages use php or not. The general consensus was that that the pages would work just fine even without php, and they'd be all set up if and when he got around to adding php. I'd like to get some feedback from this forum. Do you agree that a page without php functions or server side includes can be put online with either a .htm or .php function? If I never add a php function to a page with a .php extension, could that cause some kind of problems? This will run, and I think almost without problems. But IMHO it makes no sense. And I don't know, if all the searchengines out there will be able or willing to read *.php files (google works fine). You should know that renaming all that files is not all, you have to do. you have also to change every single link in your pages, that points to your pages. I don't know how large your project is, but it can be much work, and if you do not add lines of PHP-Code to that pages, you can save much time by not doing so. But if you are coding new pages, and you are planning to add dynamic contents by using PHP-Code, than IMHO it will be a good decision to use *.php file-extensions, because you can save that time later. Also, I'm thinking of naming all my pages index and sticking them inside folders. That way, visitors can reach a page by typing in www.geobop.com/birds/ , whether the full URL is www.geobop.com/birds/index.htm or www.geobop.com/birds/index.php Is this a good plan, or do you see any problems? Surely there will be no problem, but see above. CU Thorsten BTW.

What it does under windows is show the form and input my username and password (does not matter if they are correct or not because the results are the same) and I click the submit button and all it does is reload the form. What it appears to be doing is not even doing the mysql query. (form the looks of it) It seems to loop through the page again as if your loading it the first time.

[PHP-DB] (can't remember my original subject) - php4, apache and mysql????
Hi, I posted a few hours ago a problem I had with a login function that loaded the form over and over again when trying to login to my site off windows. (locally) I found out what the problem was and have fixed the problem. In the end it had nothing to do with my code but rather incorrect configuration in my setup. I thought it was a bit odd it would work on linux and not a similar thing on windows. Now I know why. FYI information the problem was with register_globals being off. When I installed it had this off by default so I needed to change it. I thought it would of been defaulted as On rather than Off so I never considered that as a problem until just recently. :P Anyways all is fixed now, very happy now. Dispite this has taken some time to work out. Thanks for the help people have given me, despite most of you thought it was my code rather than anything else. I did not think it would be my code that is why I did not post in my first post. (my code) Anyways thanks again for being helpful.
