RE: [PHP-DB] Form response
Missed most of the thread, so hope this hits the mark! If one form works and one doesn't are they both called .php ? If one is .php3 and one .php and the webserver is only configured to parse onr then the other will show as plain text. just a thought Peter --- Excellence in internet and open source software --- Sunmaia www.sunmaia.net tel. 0121-242-1473 --- -Original Message- From: John Holmes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 20 September 2002 21:16 To: 'Warren Massengill' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Form response You have to run the scripts through a web server like Apache. ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: Warren Massengill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 1:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Form response John, If you're seeing PHP source code when you pull up a page, your server is not configured correctly.

RE: [PHP-DB] Form response
If you're seeing PHP source code when you pull up a page, your server is
not configured correctly. What if you try a basic .php page like echo
Hello World;, does that work?
You are running a web server right, not just using File-Open??

Try $_POST['field_1'] instead of $field_1
---John Holmes...
I tried this with two different versions of reaction.php.
Still displays only the source code.
Thanks,

Subject: [PHP-DB] Form response
Hi,
RedHat 7.2 RPM with PostgreSQL 7.1.x and PHP 4.0.6
Page 111 of PHP and PostgreSQL, this form displays in Mozilla. The
submit
button is expected to run a script called reaction.php but it opens
the
script and displays the code. The response is the same with or
without
variable input.
I changed the script file to executable: no effect.
I can run 'reaction.php' from the shell and it works.
What is the problem here?

bash-2.05$ php reaction.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.6
Content-type: text/html
nothing has been passed to this script
In:
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
(appears as above plus an entry for each of php2,3,4)
LoadModule php4_modulemodules/libphp4.so
LoadModule php_module modules/mod_php.so
These were all uncommented in the RPM installation of RedHat 7.2.
Somehow PHP is partially working...
Any suggestions?
I can create forms in php and tables in PostgreSQL but according to
phpinfo(), php is not configured for PostfreSQL.
If I survive this problem, that one is on the horizon. Does anyone
have a
generic list of things to do after an RPM installation of RedHat
Linux
7.2
in order to use PHP with PostgreSQL?
Thanks,
Warren
