[PHP] PHP - Header ERROR

2010-06-13 Thread Don Wieland 

Hello,

I have a contact form with three fields, name, email, and comment, and  
a CAPTCHA


I am doing some basic validation for empty fields but am getting a PHP  
error when trying to redirect back to the original page with an ERROR,


It seems when my COMMENT field contains BRs, it generates the PHP  
ERROR. No BR?s works perfectly. Am I missing a function for the  
comment that is necessary for the GET STRING return?


if($_POST['name'] AND $_POST['email'] AND $_POST['comment']) {
}else{
header(location: contactus.php?Error=Missing values in REQUIRED  
FIELDSname=.$_POST['name'].email=.$_POST['email'].comment=. 
$_POST['comment']);

exit();
}


session_start();



if($_SESSION['Captcha_Str'] != $_POST['scode']) {
echo HI;
header(location: contactus.php?Error=You did not enter your SECURITY  
CODE correctly. It is case sensitive.name=.$_POST['name'].email=. 
$_POST['email'].comment=.$_POST['comment']);

exit();
}

 It is probably something I need to do to the header() string to
 accommodate the BRs. I am redirecting back to the original form,
 displaying an ERROR, then re-populating the fields via the GET string.
 The omission of this is CHOKING PHP.

Add a line in to your .htaccess file then to turn error displaying on.
Note that if this is a live server then you shouldn't really do this,
but if you have to, turn them back off again asap.

php_flag display_errors off

When I look at my FTP client, I cannot see this .htaccess file. This  
is a live server, so I am hesitant to find it anyways. I will wait for  
my partner to assist me with this config so I can see the error.


Unless someone know what I am missing by description. We'll see ;-)

OOPS! Sorry, we'll do from now on.

If the file doesn't exist you can make it. Some FTP clients may hide the
file as it begins with a period. By default, this character is used to
hide files on *nix-based systems. Windows tends to choke every now and
again on .htaccess files, as it sees it as a file with no name and just
an extension.

You mentioned that there were newline characters in the URL you were
attempting to redirect to. URLs can't contain newline characters, so
that could be causing it to choke. If in doubt, put the URL into a
string first and echo that out and see what the result is. You may need
to view the source of the output in your browser, as the browser will be
treating that string as HTML by default, which treats whitespace
differently.
