I am on Mac OS 10.6
I found the logs using the console. It was pretty easy and displays nicely.

I am reviewing the entries now.

Thanks for your help.

True. Since I am a Windows user, I find it here :

You haven't said what sort of operating system you're using. In Linux,
most of the logs are kept in sub-directories of /var/log I believe.
Windows, well they could be scattered anywhere. MacOS, not too sure
about that.

Re: [PHP] PHP Form submitting to MySQL not working...

[Shreyas]

Steve,

Do you know where Apache is installed? If yes, you have something like
error.log and access.log. Find them and nail them them down.

I am a novice, too and the best way to learn is to answer here and getting
corrected by other PHP gurus! So, all in the name of learning! :)

It depends. On most Linux distros there are log viewers that let you
look at all the different logs from one drop-down menu.

Otherwise, the logs are all just text files, so you can view them in any
text editor from kate to notepad to vim.

Strangest thing... it just started working again. Odd.

Is there an easy way to view the error logs? As you can tell, I am still a 
novice at this. 
I am on Apache2

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, should have been more specific.  Where did you see the error?  In
your
browser, error logs of your web server, etc... ?

If this error was displayed in your browser, you should look in your apache
error log file at that corresponding time to see if it has any more
information.

Steve,

SERVER_SOFTWARE is a variable that will give you which apache version you
are actually using. Just drop a one - liner in a test.php as this :
*
*
*


*
You can look for the above variable. Any other ideas others may have, please
share.

What did your error log file say? it should tell you the path and the name
of the file that was being called; then go and look to see if the file
exists.

Where exactly did you see this error?

1) In your browser when you tried loading the form?
2) In your browser when you submitted the form?
3) In the error logs of your web server?

Other questions:

What type of web server are you running?

Did your cat stomp on your keyboard?

Are the files stored locally or are they on a network/remote drive?

Children doing things they should not be doing? (Happened to me once...)

Are you accessing the files via http://localhost/... ?? or as a local file?

Do you have any examples of code at all? It sounds like a file it's requiring is missing, but you haven't given the full error there either.

Do you have any examples of code at all? It sounds like a file it's
requiring is missing, but you haven't given the full error there either.

Take a look at an email you've received with an attachment. That's how
you need to format your email-text.

I'm old enough to remember gas stations where the attendant would

Maybe, maybe not, but the point is to mention that it should be

Yes.  Hire a programmer.  ;-P

In actuality, it could be done with JavaScript.  However, because
JS won't modify the server settings, if you want to store the
ClickBank ID in a database, have it emailed, or whatever else, here's
the snippet of PHP code to generate the URL as they have it:

http://".$_POST['clickbank_id'].".12monthmil.hop.clickbank.net";
// Perform whatever other actions you want here, but remember to
SANITIZE the $_POST data!
}
?>

Re: [PHP] PHP Form isnt emailing me

[Richard Lynch]

The return value of http://php.net/mail only says whether or not PHP
managed to queue up the email to go out.

It does *NOT* imply that the email actually went anywhere.

If your server isn't running through the queues and sending the
emails, they don't go out.

If your server is rejecting the emails as it runs through the queue,
they don't go out.

If your mail reader is marking them as spam and trashing them before
you see them, they went out, but you never got them.

*ALSO*, and this is aboslutely crucial, if you DO get email to go out,
you've just built an OPEN RELAY that will cheerfully send out MILLIONS
of spam mail!  DON'T DO THAT!!!

The problem is that a Bad Guy can put something like this in
POST['contact']:

"[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
.
.
.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

YOUR email script will then spew the same message to 1000 users!

You need to sanitize user input -- Emails and names, for example,
should NOT contain newlines.

You're not including the post values.

It should be something like:

} else {
  $keywords = '';

Thank you for help.

You're not including the post values.

It should be something like:

..size=60>..


or you could check everything before hand:

if (isset($_POST['Keywords'])) {
  $keywords = htmlentities($_POST['Keywords']);
} else {
  $keywords = '';
}

Re: [PHP] PHP form not working

[Matt Zandstra]

Pasting your page onto my server and commenting out your includes the 
following lines stand out:


$email_err ="Please enter your email address!";
$message_err = "Please enter a message!";

You have quotes within quotes here. You should either escape the inner 
quotes or use single quotes to define your string. So this will work:


$email_err ="Please enter your email address!";
$message_err = "Please enter a message!";

or this will work:

$email_err ='Please enter your email address!';
$message_err = 'Please enter a message!';

The latter is slightly more efficient, but you won't notice the difference.

Incidentally, you should consider separating your presentation from your logic 
a little more, but that's a whole other issue.

Re: [PHP] PHP form POST question

When you access /foo, the server will redirect the client to /foo/ 
(because it is a directory). At the redirected page, the post data will 
not be sent again by the browser thus there are no _POST values.

Try using action="/foo/". That may work.
Yes, /foo/ does work.
The explanation makes sense.

If you do a post to just the domain name apache does a redirect to 
/foo/index.php
losing the post info.

I couldn't find any information on PHP and utilizing

Jason touched on the easiest solution: email to fax.  You can use PHP to send the 
email, at which point it will be converted to fax.  Simply add a layer of code such 
that if your user chooses to send via fax, the message is transparently relayed to the 
email/fax gateway.

The closest equivalent to that would be to print via IPP. But I doubt whether

How is the information being kept?  Sessions?  You'll either want to

That URL is like writing:



And expecting that $foo contains both betty AND bob.  It's just not the way
the GET variables work.

Post your JS to a JS list/forum, and tell them you need to have the
checkboxes names something[] -- hopefully someone will be abel to spot the
glitch with ease.

Re: [PHP] Php Form Issue

[John Nichel]

Put the brackets for php...



Now, to loop through the elements in JavaScript, you're going to have to 
do something like this

var test = false;
for ( i = 0; i < document.forms[0].elements['myname[]'].length; i++ )
	//code for whatever you want to do here
	//if you want to check if at least one of the boxes are checked
	if ( document.forms[0].elements['myname[]'][i].checked ) {
		test = true;
	}
}

then you can just check to see if "test" is true or false...true if at 
least on box has been checked, false if none of the boxes have been checked.

Hi Keith:

javascript mailing list next,
but I figured there must be some other way to get php to recieve the

If your checkboxes all have the same name i.e. group, then for php to 
see them, you have to name them group[].
Then you can use something like this to get them out of the array:

if (count($group) > 0){
	for($i=0; $i < count($group); $i++) {
		$sql  = "INSERT INTO groupImage VALUES ";
		$sql .= "(0, '$imageID', '$group[$i]')";
		mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
		//echo "linked \"$imageName\" to groupID=".$group[$i]."  in gi 
table";
	}
}
you might have to change the js.
If you are accessing form elements in js then you can use something 
like:
forms.elements['group[]']
to access the js checkbox array by name.

Does anyone have an idea how I can make the php script gather all the 
multiple
&browser=lynx&browser=mosaic&browser=explorer
instead of only the last entry?

AFAIK varName[] is the only way to go if you want the checkboxes in an 
array.

I suppose you could just give a unique name to each checkbox.
I believe that PHP will have a value for those checkboxes that are 
checked.
Then you could loop through your set of checkbox vars and see which 
have a value.

Greetings,

Forgive my newbism here, but I am having a hard time recieving check(box)ed

$MailBody .="Type medlemskap : ";

$items = 2;  //initiate possible # of items

for ($i = 1; $i <= $items; $i++) {  //loop on # of items

$MailBody .= "$medlemskap[$i], ";  //put results in variable MailBody


where is $medlemskap set? is it comming from the form? you might then 
need to use
$_REQUEST[medlemskap][$i] instead. It might be also simpler to use
foreach($_REQUEST['medlemskap'] as $v) {
   $MailBody .= "$v, ";
}

}

..and the html code put in the form is:


hovedmedlemskap [200 kr.]

2 eller flere i samme husholdning [100 kr.]
 

why are you using two different names for variables (item_1 and item_2)? 
should not it be
name="medlemskap[]"

The problem is, when I recieve the form as email, it just shows the checked
item(s) as:  ",,"
(without the quotemarks)

What am I doing wrong? I am using the script found here:

Re: [PHP] PHP Form and Arrays help

[Geoff]

If I remember correctly checkboxes literally do not exist on the posted
pages if they don't get checked on the form page. So maybe you can use
isset or something like that to see if the checkbox exists if so make it
checked if not show it unchecked.

Hope that helps.

Use either session to "remember" the checkboxes' name/value pairs or 
hidden fields.

Don't.  Put the whole procedure into one script.  In the first step, do 
the validation, if it's bad, tell the people so and exit.  If it's okay, 
continue the processing.

This will make things easier to control and work reliably.  Forwarding
post information can lead to a variety of difficulties such as strange
behavior when people hit the back button, odd timeouts, let alone, people 
could play games and go directly to process.php without doing the 
validation step... among other things.

Sorry, I mis-understood your question.  PHP is server-side, so you have to
post the form to validate.  The way I handle the situation you have is to
have the same script process the form for both the initial request
(method=get) and the form post (method=post).

If 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'], then validate.
  If validation passes, process the transaction, and redirect with header()
to a new page.
  if it fails, make use the prior supplied data in input values so you
retain the input from the person using your form.

Example:

Re: [PHP] PHP form port

[John Wards]

either do this

$your vars = value
include process.php;

or

header "process.php?your_var=value&your other stuff";

or

$url = http://www.yourserver.com/process.php?your_var=value&etc;
$contents = file($send);
This will execute your php file and return into $contents the html that is
outputed. You don't need to use the html if you don't want to.

Re: [PHP] PHP & form data

Further to my last email, I'd just like to point out that the scripts that
I am using used to work with an older php4 version (not sure of the
version number).

I'd also like to point out how the script works:

(1) joinup.php
   -set test cookie
   -delete emailAddress cookie
   -redirect to joinup1.php

(2) joinup1.php
   -if test cookie
   -ask for email/passwd ->submit
   -sumbits to self with Action=checkEmail
   -checkemail is failing due to this "problem".

So basically the $emailAddress variable is being overwritten by the
emailAddress cookie in (1).  How can I prevent this?  Remember that I need
to delete the emailAddress cookie as the user will not be able to sign in
in (2) when they to use a different email address (which is required).


Thanks.

Re: [PHP] PHP Form (aka:Re: [PHP] Can any one spot the Parse error Here)

[Andrew Halliday]

> It's more of a pain if I have to remember what order the parameters go

Yeah, good point.  I can see that.  What i have been doing is componentising
the page into functions which are responsible for rendering a discrete
section of that page...ie if a page consists of a title bar and a form and
the form gets processed by that same page, which can print a response in
place of the form upon submission...


function renderTitle()
{
  echo "";
  echo "...";
  echo "";
}

function renderForm()
{
  echo "";
  echo "...";
  echo "";
}

function renderFormSubmitResponse()
{
  echo "Thankyou!";
}

Then all you have to do is put logic at the front of your code to determine
what 'page components' get rendered.  Also, this way you start to build up a
set of common functions, like ones to display query results in a table,
populate a form by creating dynamic Java Script etc etc

Just a thought on the way to do things, thassal, interesting to compare
techniques. It scares me as to how few people seem to worry about form these
days ...

As much classes/objects as possible, imo.  'functions' by themselves are 
OK for smaller stuff,
but when you start getting larger projects, and need to make changes - 
heaven help you, unless
you're smart enough to have made most/all of your parameters passed into 
the functions into one
big array.


having multiple function calls in various places like

$x = calculateFreight($sku,$state)

when you then need to add 'weight' as a parameter is a pain.

It's more of a pain if I have to remember what order the parameters go 
in - I have to do

$x = calculateFreight($sku,$state,$weight);

not
$x = calculateFreight($sku,$weight,$state);

else my function will be problematic.  Being able to do something like

$x = new item();
$x->weight= 1;
$x->state = 2;
$x->sku = 3;
$x->calculateFreight();

without worrying about the order of the parameters helps a lot, imo.

To each his own tho.

[PHP] OO v. Functions Was: Re: [PHP] PHP Form (aka:Re: [PHP] Can any one spot the Parse error Here)

[Aral Balkan]

>> Ive coded in both PHP and ASP and in both OO and function oriented.
Ultimately, i find functionally oriented PHP to be the best ... what do
other people think?

Having learnt how to program using Basic when I was 8, I had to unlearn a
lot of things as I moved from Basic to Pascal (what? I can't just Goto
wherever I want to?) then to C (a point-what?) and then a self-imposed exile
from programming only to rediscover it with Actionscripting (Flash) and
Lingo (Director) before trying out Python and finally loving PHP!

Why all this? Well it kinda charts my move from unplanned-write-as-you
top-down programming to function-based programming to object-oriented (which
is something I thought I had missed the boat on during the time I stopped
programming). Although it took a while for me to get my head around it my
favorite has to be Object Oriented. It's shocking to see my own
transformation from someone who would rather write hours of code then adapt
someone else's code to someone who'd rather scour the net looking for a
ready-made class that can then be extended.

Although PHP is not a real object oriented language, I still prefer using
the oo logic whenever possible. Although I guess there are times when you
can't use classes in PHP (has anyone been able to create a custom session
handler *class*, for example?.. how would you set up the
session_set_save_handler that takes strings to point to the various handler
functions from within a class?) I try to whenever I can. I think the words I
love most lately are abstract, modular, and portable and though it usually
takes lots more planning and perhaps a little bit more time spent conding at
first for those adjectives to apply to your code, I believe it's definitely
worth it!

OK, ok, I won't write to the list again first thing after I get up... I sure
can ramble!
