HI Guys
I wonder if you can help me with some basic scripting, I am a novice at this but I'm eager to learn.
I am trying to adapt the stats script from abyssunderground.co.uk to suit my own design. As I don't know very much php I am trying to design my web page using the Namo4 web editor (HTML) I set up a basic bage and tried to include some php which doesnt seem to be working.
Examples can be found on my site:
Working stats from form abyssunderground
http://viahome.co.uk/serverstats/stats.php
My stripped down html test page with embedded php
http://viahome.co.uk/serverstats/viahome.html
Basically, can you tell me what is wrong with the following code as none of the php includes seem to work:
viahome.html
| Code: | <?php
<?php include('config.php'); ?>
>?
<html>
<head>
<title>ViaHome.co.uk</title>
</head>
<p><b><font size="4">ViaHome.co.uk</font></b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b><font size="1">Current Servic Status</font></b></p>
<?php
<?php include('services/php.php'); ?>
<?php include('services/asp.php'); ?>
<?php include('services/mysql.php'); ?>
<?php include('services/ftp.php'); ?>
<p><b><font size="1">Little php parsing test</font></b></p>
<?php $var=5;
<p>The variable $var has a value of:
<?php echo($var); ?>
?>
</p>
</body> |
I have been pulling my hair out for about 4 days now, any pointers would be most welcome.
I am using Abyss v2.3 and php v4
Thanks
Paul |

PaulK, your problem seems to be "double taging" php code blocks
and including stright html within php code blocks
This is your original:
| Code: | <?php
<?php include('config.php'); ?>
>?
<html>
<head>
<title>ViaHome.co.uk</title>
</head>
<p><b><font size="4">ViaHome.co.uk</font></b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b><font size="1">Current Servic Status</font></b></p>
<?php
<?php include('services/php.php'); ?>
<?php include('services/asp.php'); ?>
<?php include('services/mysql.php'); ?>
<?php include('services/ftp.php'); ?>
<p><b><font size="1">Little php parsing test</font></b></p>
<?php $var=5;
<p>The variable $var has a value of:
<?php echo($var); ?>
?>
</p>
</body> |
And this is what it should look like:
| Code: | <?php include('config.php'); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>ViaHome.co.uk</title>
</head>
<p><b><font size="4">ViaHome.co.uk</font></b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b><font size="1">Current Servic Status</font></b></p>
<?php include('services/php.php'); ?>
<?php include('services/asp.php'); ?>
<?php include('services/mysql.php'); ?>
<?php include('services/ftp.php'); ?>
<p><b><font size="1">Little php parsing test</font></b></p>
<?php $var=5;?>
<p>The variable $var has a value of:
<?php echo($var); ?>
</p>
</body>
</html> |
Have you spotted the difference?
The above code can be "cleaned up" further:
| Code: | <?php include('config.php'); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>ViaHome.co.uk</title>
</head>
<p><b><font size="4">ViaHome.co.uk</font></b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b><font size="1">Current Servic Status</font></b></p>
<?php
include('services/php.php');
include('services/asp.php');
include('services/mysql.php');
include('services/ftp.php');
?>
<p><b><font size="1">Little php parsing test</font></b></p>
<?php
$var=5;
echo "<p>The variable $var has a value of: $var</p>";
//echo can work with or without the ()
?>
</body>
</html> |

Thanks for the reply guys, I understand aboout the double tagging now, simple mistake and makes sense.
However the code still don't work in that none of the includes are reported. I have saved Anthony's cleaned up code at
http://viahome.co.uk/serverstats/viahome1.html
As you can see it all works but the includes are missing
Andy, your update is included in the cleaned up code, thanks
I really appreciate your help :)

The page that you have put up isn't showing any include() errors
for example:
| Quote: | Warning: main(config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /abyssws/htdocs/test_code01.php on line 1
Warning: main(): Failed opening 'config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /abyssws/htdocs/test_code01.php on line 1 |
So, unless you have error reporting turned off, it is including the files.
as to why the echo function isn't working is a mystry
mabe TRUSTpunk can help?
btw i spotted an error in my code
i should of escaped the first $ signs in the echo function
| Code: | | echo "<p>The variable \$var has a value of: $var</p>"; |

I'm not sure why errors are not reporting, Im using php4 adn copied php.ibi-recommended to php.ini a snippet of the ini file is here:
| Code: | error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR
; Print out errors (as a part of the output). For production web sites,
; you're strongly encouraged to turn this feature off, and use error logging
; instead (see below). Keeping display_errors enabled on a production web site
; may reveal security information to end users, such as file paths on your Web
; server, your database schema or other information.
display_errors = On
; Even when display_errors is on, errors that occur during PHP's startup
; sequence are not displayed. It's strongly recommended to keep
; display_startup_errors off, except for when debugging.
display_startup_errors = On
; Log errors into a log file (server-specific log, stderr, or error_log (below))
; As stated above, you're strongly advised to use error logging in place of
; error displaying on production web sites.
log_errors = On
; Set maximum length of log_errors. In error_log information about the source is
; added. The default is 1024 and 0 allows to not apply any maximum length at all.
log_errors_max_len = 1024 |
so I don't understand why I don't see anything the full ini file has been copied to http://viahome.co.uk/php.ini so you can take a look if it helps in any way.
I made the code updates but still no includes :(
Sorry guys, I didn't think this would turn into a chore

I also added a body statement as it is closed off at the end
full code of http://viahome.co.uk/serverstats/viahome1.html with updates:
| Code: | <?php include('config.php'); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>ViaHome.co.uk</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><b><font size="4">ViaHome.co.uk</font></b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b><font size="1">Current Servic Status</font></b></p>
<?php
include('services/php.php');
include('services/asp.php');
include('services/mysql.php');
include('services/ftp.php');
?>
<p><b><font size="1">Little php parsing test</font></b></p>
<?php
$var=5;
echo "<p>The variable \$var has a value of: $var</p>";
//echo can work with or without the ()
?>
</body> |
update: copied php.ini to c:\windows restarted server - no change
Update: nothing reported in the cgi.log or fastcgi.log |

Include() throws a warning on failure, and your error reporting level doesn't include warnings.
E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE will show everything but notices, try that.

As to the initial problem (Which I've only just bothered to read.), php isn't parsing it, add .html to the list of extensions it uses, or change it to .php or something.
