Re: [PHP] Introduction ... !
Hello Nick, Welcome to the list. I joined the list awhile back then unsubscribed for no apparent reason. This list was very active years ago. I came back about a few months ago just as a watcher. I didn't really post or participate at all. I guess, there are a lot of watchers only people here. They receive digest e-mails; they just don't participate in any way. Then, there are those who lost their jobs due to the recession and so they dropped off the list as well. There are a lot of developers unemployed. I would imagine that other developers didn't keep up with the changes. PHP has come a long way as far as Object Oriented Programming is concerned. There have been many discussions about Design Patterns and extending existing classes. So a lot has changed in the last 5 years. I do believe that the list will pick up again. Welcome back, Ravi.

Re: [PHP] Introduction
Hello Julie
Have you checked what is passed in your post / get request???
A Simple way of doing this is using a script similar to this one
?PHP
while(list($key, $value) = each($_POST)) // use $_GET for get
request
{
echo 'br'.$key.'='.$value; // this prints to the
browser
}
?
This will show you a simple list of all variables being passed to your
script. I had a problem once with forms that for empty fields the
variables were set to
contain an empty string so a call to isset($var) still returns true. Not
sure how this happend or why but it did...
If you run the above script you can at least see if the form returns the
variables that are set and what they contain.
Before I forget don't run this script before your header() or else you
will get an error stating that headers have allready been send.
Hope it helps
Stefan Langer
P.S.: As stated before for security reasons it is better to rely on $_POST
and $_GET global arrays and register_globals turned off.

A easier way to achieve the above is simply:

RE: [PHP] Introduction
Thanks for the welcome! And naturally, I need help. :-) I am just learning PHP, although I have taken programming classes in C and am a little familiar with writing small scripts. My husband wrote a simple PHP script for a client of ours, which I have the pleasure of fine-tuning, the idea being to get me to learn PHP. Well, the script doesn't do what it should, and neither I nor even my husband can figure out why. Hopefully, someone here can guide us as to what we are doing wrong. :-) Basically, all the script does (or should do) is build an e-mail to a client based on a set of variables defined by the user, using an HTML form. It is also supposed to warn the user with a print message whenever a variable is missing. The form is at the following address: http://www.swedishengineering.com/newsite/requestresponse.html I've saved the script in text format so that you can look at, it is located at the following address: http://www.swedishengineering.com/newsite/requestresponse.rtf The errors are as follows: When the customer's e-mail is omitted, a print message should appear, to the effect of Hey, you need to specify the e-mail!. However, when the e-mail is omitted *and* one of the options is clicked, the message does not appear, but rather, the user gets re-directed to the index page. When the Parts option is chosen, but no parts are indicated, a print message should appear to let the user know that a part number needs to be entered. However, the script bypasses this and builds the e-mail anyway. I hope this makes sense and would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!!

If your code isn't humungous then you should include it (inline, not as an
attachment) with your post. There are many reasons why people would not
click
on a link to see your code (laziness, or fear of being social-engineered to
spread the latest MS-related exploit etc).
If your code _is_ humungous, then a link might be appropriate and note
saying
_why_ you're posting a link would be nice.
Also, your intent to make the code look pretty(?) by converting to RTF seems
misguided. Stick to plain-text.
The errors are as follows:
When the customer's e-mail is omitted, a print message should appear, to
the effect of Hey, you need to specify the e-mail!. However, when the
e-mail is omitted *and* one of the options is clicked, the message does
not
appear, but rather, the user gets re-directed to the index page.
When the Parts option is chosen, but no parts are indicated, a print
message should appear to let the user know that a part number needs to be
entered. However, the script bypasses this and builds the e-mail anyway.
I hope this makes sense and would greatly appreciate any help.
It's good you that you explain what you're trying to do, and what you expect
the program to do, and what actually happens instead
Re: [PHP] Introduction
Julie,
What version of PHP? Where is $custemail coming from, form on another
page/same page, database? Global variables on or off in your php.ini?

RE: [PHP] Introduction
Hi John,
The variables are coming from a form, located at:
http://www.swedishengineering.com/newsite/requestresponse.html
I don't know what version of PHP or if the global variables are on or off.
I would have to ask the client who their provider is and contact them. I'm
guessing you're asking me this because you don't see anything wrong with the
script's logic?

Re: [PHP] Introduction
Well, one of the most common problems encountered here is forms / global
variables. The form on your page is using the post method, so chances
are, you need to reference your variables by the global post array, ie
$_POST['custemail']
$_POST['request_type']
etc.
Instead of $custemail and $request_type. If the form is using the get
method (or any time variables are being passed in the URL), you'll want
to use the global get array, ie
$_GET['some_variable']
$_GET['anoter_variable']
Then there's the global request array which will get all types passed to
the page, ie.
$_REQUEST['some_variable']
You may want to take a look here for a better explanation of variables
and scope...
