html :
| Code: | <BODY>
<iframe src="storage.php"></iframe>
<form action="storage.php" method="POST">
Type your name:
<input type="text" name="nick" value="Nick" size="20">
<br>Type your comment:
<input type="text" name="message" value="<comment>" size="20">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
|
Php(storage.php) :
| Code: | <html>
<body>
<?php echo $_POST["nick"]; ?>:<?php echo $_POST["message"]; ?>
</body>
</html>
|
Problem :
When i tested it i clicked the 'submit' button, and got an error :
Error 405
Method Not Allowed
link : http://24.50.158.18:8500/chat.html
And when i just open the page, it asks for me to download the storage.php, which i don't want it to do.
Help is appreciated, Foso :)
edit : I should also add, this is a 'guestbook' feature I want to add to my website, and since I like to do things for myself, I am trying to make my own.
This is my first post, so i would also like to congratulate Aprelium for such a nifty service(Abyss), i can run my server from a floppy! thats awsome. |

I think you have a problem with your php setup or something.
The page itself worked fine for me, but when I tried it on your server, it prompted me for a download.

First run a test script to find out of php does actually work...
| Code: | <?php
echo "Hello Dave!";
?> |
That will do the trick for now. Place it on your server and if it prompts for a download, then it isnt installed properly.
If that is the case, then follow this guide and check your settings.

| Okay, Thanks! i used wrong interpreter, i had version 5, but i was reading torturial for version 4. Used Php.exe instead of Php-cgi.exe. It works, but when i press submit, instead of updating the frame, it brings up another window, how would i fix that? i need the frame to be updated once you press the submit. |

You need to specify the frame name in a target parameter. In the iframe tag
I had to add name="main" to create a name for the target then edit the form
tag to point to the iframe , hope this information helps you. LateR!
| Code: |
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Untitled</TITLE>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="MAX's HTML Beauty++ 2004">
</HEAD>
<BODY background =" pictures/background.png" LINK =" #616161" VLINK =" #616161">
<style>
BODY { scrollbar-3d-light-color:#999999;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#FFFF33;
scrollbar-base-color:black;
scrollbar-dark-shadow-color:#333333;
scrollbar-face-color:#666666;
scrollbar-highlight-color:#999999;
scrollbar-shadow-color:black}
</style>
<p><img src =" pictures/beg.png"><a href =" home.html"><img src =" pictures/home.png" border = 0></a><a href =" screen.html"><img src =" pictures/screenshots.png" border = 0><img src =" pictures/chatroom.png" border = 0></a><img src =" pictures/logo.png"><img src =" pictures/end.png"></p>
<iframe src="storage.php" name="main"></iframe>
<form action="storage.php" method="POST" target="main">
Type your name:
<input type="text" name="nick" value="Nick" size="20">
<br>Type your comment:
<input type="text" name="message" value="<comment>" size="20">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<DIV ALIGN="center"></DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Youd need to store it to a database, and then return all entires from it.

If you want to use Mysql...
Firstly, youll need a mysql server (either locally or remotley) to host the database.
Then find a mysql tutorial and take it in =S
If you want help feel free to come and find me on An IM service.
You could also store the entries to a text file and parse the file, but this is a lot less flexible than a database.

Mysql is a seperete server which listens to a different port that PHP will connect to when instructed to.
There are plenty of great tutorials around this site if you want more info :-)

Hi,
With a bit of lateral thinking, I dont think it should be too difficult to store and read the data from a text file. I created a guestbook, and a link manager script recently using only flat files for storage. Its surprising what you can do with them.
Have a look at http://codewalkers.com/tutorials/57/1.html, this tutorial at codewalkers should tell you pretty much everything you need to know, to use text files to store the data for your project.
If you would like some help, let me know, and I can post some code samples from my guestbook app. |

Okay, since Mysql hates me, i decided to use text files.
| Code: | <html>
<?php
$fp = fopen( "storage.txt" , "w" );
$Name = $_POST['name'];
$Msg = $_POST['text'];
fwrite( $fp,$Name);
fwrite( $fp, ': ');
fwrite( $fp, $Msg);
fclose($fp)
?>
<body>
<?php
$fp = fopen ("storage.txt", "r");
while (!feof ($fp)) {
$content = fgets( $fp, 4096 );
echo $content;
}
fclose ($fp);
?>
<form name="content" action="storage.php" method="post">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name" value = "NickName">
<TEXTAREA NAME="text" value = "Message"><content></TEXTAREA>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="Submit" VALUE="Submit">
</body>
</html> |
link : http://24.50.158.18:8500/storage.php
Problem :
It only saves one line, i need it to have all previous entries =/ |

$Msg = $_POST['text'];

fwrite( $fp, ': ');
fwrite( $fp, $Msg);
fclose($fp)
?> |
The problem is the following line:
| Code: | | $fp = fopen( "storage.txt" , "w" ); |
what you are doing is opening the file for writing to ("w"), and this will overwrite anything else that is in that file.
To add something to a file, use the following line:
| Code: | | $fp = fopen( "storage.txt" , "a" ); |
the difference? "a" this opens the file and whatever is written to it will be added to the end of the file
Edit: You will also have to add an if() statement to stop the file being written to every time the page is opened

You could do something like this
| Code: | <?php
$filename = 'storage.txt';
// Make sure we're using POST and that $_POST['name'] & $_POST['text'] isn't empy before we write to the file.
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' && !empty($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['text']))
{
$fp = fopen($filename, 'a');
// htmlspecialchars converts <, >, ", & so we can't create HTML, JavaScript, PHP and whatnot
// Trim removes whitespace from beginning and end.
// e.g ' example ' becomes 'example'
$Name = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['name']));
$Msg = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['text']));
fwrite($fp, $Name .': '. $Msg .'<br>
');
fclose($fp);
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<?php
$fp = fopen($filename, 'r');
echo fread($fp, filesize($filename));
fclose ($fp);
?>
<br>
<form name="content" action="storage.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name" value="Nickname"><br>
<textarea name="text">Message</textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html> |
