 Posted: Thu Jun 30, 2005 8:25 pm Post subject: Php Not Showing up |
 |
|
I am just starting to learn php, so Im not sure how to make this work. Im not sure if this is something to do with my server or not. Any ways, here is my problem.
I have this code for my html portion:
| Code: |
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="welcome.php" method="GET">
Enter your name: <input type="text" name="name" /><br>
Enter your age: <input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
|
And I have this code for my php portion:
| Code: |
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
Welcome <?php echo $_GET["name"]; ?>.<br />
You are <?php echo $_GET["age"]; ?> years old!
</body>
</html>
|
As you should know it should print something like this:
Welcome John.
You are 28 years old!
But this is what it actually prints:
Welcome .
You are years old!
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
By the way I used Post and Get |

It is your coding that is to fault I think.
Try this.
submit.php
| Code: | <form name="form1" action="post.php" method="post">
<input type="text" size="30" name="name"><br>
<input type="text" size="30" name="age"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Post Message">
</form> |
view.php
| Code: | <?php
if ($_POST['submit']) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$age = $_POST['age'];
echo("Welcome ");
echo($name);
echo(". You are");
echo($age);
echo(" years old");
}
else{
echo("error");
}
?> |
This code is from the top of my head but should work in theory,
Hope this helps.[/code]

In which case you need to turn on register_globals in your php.ini file.

OK, you need to go to where you installed php (probably c:/php) and look for a file called php.ini, search the file for register_globals and set it to be on. The two files you have should now work.
Hope thats clear enough.

Well, in order to view PHP pages you need to have a webserver that will run it, Abyss, and PHP Source itself which you can download from www.php.net. You need to install it to abyss and run it like a normal HTTP server.
Follow the tutorial at www.trustabyss.com and you should be up and running in no time. If you need more help, post here.
Use the link http://www.php.net/get/php-5.0.4-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror to download PHP.

For $_GET['name'] and $_GET['age'] you should be using the single quote ' not the double ". Also register_globals does not need to be on for this code. Enabling register globals can lead to potential security problems.

Did you do what I said and download PHP? Or are you still using DreamWeaver? I'm pretty sure it doesnt support viewing PHP pages.

Do you receive any error messages?
Are you loading the PHP page via Abyss?
