    Hello: I have been trying to install Open Cart (5.4 plus earlier verions) on a GoDaddy account, and I keep getting the same error and I do not know what it means or how to fix it: Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/chroot/home/content/c/a/s/castleplace/tmp/sess_5ug76ut9rv7oiirj2ct3p2lt37, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/content/c/a/s/castleplace/html/system/library/session.php on line 11Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/c/a/s/castleplace/html/index.php:100) in /home/content/c/a/s/castleplace/html/system/library/session.php on line 11Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/content/c/a/s/castleplace/html/index.php:100) in /home/content/c/a/s/castleplace/html/system/library/session.php on line 11 Does anyone know what the solution is? The account has PHP5.2 .. I do know that I have "magic_quotes_gpc = Off;" in the php.ini file (as it is suppose to be turned off) but there was a message during installation that it was still enabled. Would this be the cause? If so, how do I turn it off? Trying it in .htaccess cause an Internal 500 error. Thanks.

    ISSUE SOLVED !!! I am glad! I used the $l_id (Locations id) to write the URL and Location as two different pieces of data. Looking back I should have done that in the first place, but this is all part of a learning process. Happy Holidays to me! And everyone else!!

    So it creates a much nicer SEO friendly URL, and it gets listed on the page with the service: 1.Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher.html Becomes 1.Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher.Philadelphia.PA.19128.html And gets listed on the page that way. Page: <html> Private Music Lessons | Private Music Teacher </html> Becomes <html> Private Music Lessons | Private Music Teacher | Philadelphia PA 19128 </html> I did this when I programmed with Classic ASP and it worked like a charm; just need to figure out this last piece. Any ideas .. ??

    Or .. is it possible to split the SESSION into 2 parts/names so I can use 1 for the URL and 1 to display on the pages .. ?? session_start(); if (isset ($_GET['myLocationContent'])) { $_SESSION['myLocation'] = $_GET['myLocationContent']; } if(empty ($_SESSION['myLocation'])){ $_SESSION['myLocation'] = 'Philadelphia PA 19128'; } Any ideas on this ...

    Sigh .... Maybe it would be better to try mod re-write .. ?? I have it working on the link I posted: echo "<li class='site-map-ul-li'><a href='1.Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher.".(str_replace(" ","-","$myLocationContent")).".html' title='".$myLocationContent."'>".$myLocationContent."</a></li>"; but I since it is 1 SESSION, it is also writing the dashes into the location on the page .. Can I somehow add this to my .htaccess for the 2 URL re-writes so it only writes it into the URLs .. ?? RewriteRule ^([0-9]+).([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+).([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)\.html$ myPage.php?id=$1&myPageURL=$2&myLocationContent=$3 [L] RewriteRule ^1.Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher.([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)\.html$ myPage.php?id=1&myPageURL=Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher&myLocationContent=$3 [L]

    Trying it this way: echo "<li class='site-map-ul-li'><a href='1.Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher.".str_replace(" ", "-" $myLocationContent).".html' title='".$myLocationContent."'>".$myLocationContent."</a></li>"; but I keep getting errors .. Any idea how to correct this .. ?? I'm excited - almost there!
  8. spacepoet
    Hi there: Just letters, numbers and hyphens. No special characters; just trying to keep it straight-forward. Is this something I would do in the SESSION, and the have 2 variables to use .. ?? Or, can I somehow work it into the URL .. ?? header("location:1.Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher.".($_SESSION['myLocation']).".html"); Thanks! EDIT: Thinking about it, if I can just replace the spaces with hyphens in the URL string I posted, I would be more than happy! Possible?

    I GOT IT !!!!! Seems that this part: ... if (!ctype_alnum ($_GET['myLocationContent'])) { $error = 'Not a valid city name'; ... was causing the error New code: session_start(); if (isset ($_GET['myLocationContent'])) { $_SESSION['myLocation'] = $_GET['myLocationContent']; } if(empty ($_SESSION['myLocation'])){ $_SESSION['myLocation'] = 'Philadelphia PA 19128'; } Is working! One last part: any idea how I can replace the spaces with dashes in the URL *ONLY* .. so I can write the URL as: Philadelphia-PA-19128 And the text on the page as: Philadelphia PA 19128 ?? Thanks for staying with me and helping me out! I really appreciate it.

    Hi again: Yes, I would say it is stopping at the first space. Good point. Exact output code - I assume you mean the sitemap.php page and .htaccess file (I know this can be streamlined/coded better, but this is my first attempt at doing something like this). I removed only the HTML/CSS markup sitemap.php: <?php session_start(); if (isset ($_GET['myLocationContent'])) { if (!ctype_alnum ($_GET['myLocationContent'])) { $error = 'Not a valid city name'; } else { $_SESSION['myLocation'] = $_GET['myLocationContent']; } } if(empty ($_SESSION['myLocation'])){ $_SESSION['myLocation'] = 'Lancaster'; } include('include/db.php'); $con = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_password); mysql_select_db($db_table); ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html> </head> <body> <h1 class="mm-h1">Site Map</h1> <ul class="site-map-ul"> <? $query = "SELECT id, myPageActive, myPageURL, myButtonTitle, myTitle FROM myPageData WHERE myPageActive='Yes' ORDER BY listorder"; $result = mysql_query($query); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); for($j=0;$j<$num_rows;$j++) { $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); $id = $row['id']; $myTitle = $row['myTitle']; $myButtonTitle = $row['myButtonTitle']; $myPageURL = $row['myPageURL']; echo "<li class='site-map-ul-li'><a href='$id.$myPageURL.".($_SESSION['myLocation']).".html' title='".$myTitle."

This is the last piece of this website so any way you know to fix this would be great! Thanks much for the help.

    Hi: Thanks, good catch and good point but it did not fix it .. Not sure what you mean by "exactly what URL are you trying?" but: (This is generated after I click the link I posted) Works: http://www.website.com/myPage.php?id=1&myPageURL=Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher&myLocationContent=Philadelphia Does not work http://www.website.com/myPage.php?id=1&myPageURL=Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher&myLocationContent=Philadelphia%20PA There is no %20 in the address bar after I click the link, but when I copied and pasted it into this post there is. It displays like this in the address bar: http://www.website.com/myPage.php?id=1&myPageURL=Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher&myLocationContent=Philadelphia PA It goes to myPage.php via mod rewrite and picks up the session and displays it if it 1 word, but not more than 1 (it keeps keeps the previous session with 1 word): <?php session_start(); if (isset ($_GET['myLocationContent'])) { if (!ctype_alnum ($_GET['myLocationContent'])) { $error = 'Not a valid city name'; } else { $_SESSION['myLocation'] = $_GET['myLocationContent']; } } if(empty ($_SESSION['myLocation'])){ $_SESSION['myLocation'] = 'Philadelphia'; } ?> <html> <?php echo htmlspecialchars ($_SESSION['myLocation']); ?> </html> Any ideas ..??

    Hello: I have a problem that has stumped me. I have this query string and mod rewrite in .htaccess: sitemap.php echo "<li class='site-map-ul-li'><a href='myPage.php?id=1&myPageURL=Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher&myLocationContent=$myLocationContent' title='".$myLocationContent."'>".$myLocationContent."</a></li>"; .htaccess RewriteRule ^([0-9]+).([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+).([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)\.html$ myPage.php?id=$1&myPageURL=$2myLocationContent=$3 [L] If "$myLocationContent" is one word - "Philadelphia" it works fine But, if it is two or more words with either a space or a dash ("Philadelphia PA" or "Philadelphia-PA") it does not work. Any idea why .. ?? I ideally want to write the URL as "Philadelphia-PA.html" and display it on the page as "Philadelphia PA"

    Hello: I will have to explore getting a local server. But, I did get it to work this way: echo "<li><a href='myPage.php?id=1&myPageURL=Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher&myLocationContent=$myLocationContent' title='".$myLocationContent."'>".$myLocationContent."</a></li>"; which is not ideal, but at least it is a start. Can you recommened how I might use mod re-writing to make a "better" URL .. ?? I do want the id to always be 1 and the myPageURL to always be "Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher" I use this to re-write the other pages, but it does not work for this. RewriteRule ^([0-9]+).([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+).([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)\.html$ myPage.php?id=$1&myPageURL=$2myLocationContent=$3 [L] One other thing I noticed (it is always something!): when I use 1 word for the "myLocationContent (like "Philadelphia") it writes the URL fine, but if it is 2 or more words (like "Philadelphia PA" - I assume the space is the issue) it does not work. Can this be fixed .. ?? Thanks for all the advice and input!

    Hi there: I can't re-start the server .. it's a site hosted at GoDaddy .. Can you think of a way to solve my problem .. ?? Any solutions or "tricks" to get this working would be greatly appreciated .. Thanks!
  15. spacepoet
    Oh, I see what you mean. I found (via GOOGLE) that it should be: if (!ctype_alnum ($_GET['myLocationContent'])) { not alphanum But, it has not changed how the page works (meaning, I still get the same results). Do you even have error reporting turned on? I'm going to say no, because my next question is to ask how I turn that on ... ?? I'm still learning .. EDIT: I just added this (exactly as I listed it) to the php.ini file: ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL); but no errors are displayed .. Is this the correct way to do it .. ??

    Hi there: Not sure ... I assume that function is pre-defined in the mySQL database (if that is even possible; I always assumed that's how a function like "my_real_escape_string" worked) .. ?? I do know I am almost there with my project, but can't get this last part to work .. Any ideas? Can I somehow transfer "myLocationContent" as a variable onto the main page, and then create the SESSION .. ?? Thanks.
  17. spacepoet
    Hi again: Can you see why the SESSION is not getting carried onto the main page .. ?? I am listing the records of locations entered from the database (and I *THINK* starting a SESSION for them ..??); sitemap.html (re-written from "sitemap.php" in the .htaccess file): <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['myLocation'] = $myLocationContent; <html> <? $query2 = "SELECT myLocationActive, myLocationContent, l_listorder FROM myLocations WHERE myLocationActive='Yes' ORDER BY l_listorder"; $result2 = mysql_query($query2); $num_rows2 = mysql_num_rows($result2); for($j=0;$j<$num_rows2;$j++) { $row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2); $myLocationContent = $row2['myLocationContent']; echo "<li class='site-map-ul-li'><a href='1.Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher.$myLocationContent.html' title='".$myLocationContent."'>".$myLocationContent."</a></li>"; } ?> </html> The "1.Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher..." page is the homepage/default page on the site that I create with mod re-write in .htaccess: # This makes the default page the one with an id of 1 RewriteRule ^$ myPage.php?id=$1&myPageURL=$2myLocationContent=$3 [L] # This is for all the other pages RewriteRule ^([0-9]+).([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+).([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)\.html$ myPage.php?id=$1&myPageURL=$2myLocationContent=$3 [L] Regardless if that is relevant, I set-up the link for the locations on the "sitemap.html" page in .htaccess like this: RewriteRule ^1.Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher.([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)\.html$ 1.Private-Music-Lessons-Private-Music-Teacher.$myLocationContent\.html [L] Then on "myPage.php (re-written for each page with .htaccess): <?php session_start(); if (isset ($_GET['myLocationContent'])) { if (!ctype_alphanum ($_GET['myLocationContent'])) { $error = 'Not a valid city name'; } else { $_SESSION['myLocation'] = $_GET['myLocationContent']; } } if(empty ($_SESSION['myLocation'])){ $_SESSION['myLocation'] = 'Philadelphia'; } ?> <html> <?php echo htmlspecialchars ($_SESSION['myLocation']); ?> </html> I keep getting "Philadelphia" every time, even though the link(s) on "sitemap.html" might be "Lancaster" or "Atlanta" The URL are written properly (2.this-is-a-page.Lancaster.html"), but once I click the link and go to "myPage..." it/the SESSION goes to (2.this-is-a-page.Philadelphia.html"). Any idea what I'm doing wrong and how I can get this to work .. ?? Thanks!

    Hi Christian (and everyone else!): OK - thanks!! This is starting to come together for me. This was driving me nuts for days .. lol .. I have two questions: 1 - Is there a relatively easy way to store the SESSION in a cookie, in case a user bookmarks the site? I am trying to get them to land on the site with the city/state/zip they type into a search engine, and then hopefully it will grab that city from the SESSION. I am writing it into the page URL as well. I was hoping to store it for a year, actually. 2 - I wanted to see if you new a way to display and/or write the SESSION in two ways, based on what you showed me: session_start(); // If the showLocation GET parameter has been set in the URL. if (isset ($_GET['showLocation'])) { // Make sure that showLocation only contains letters or numbers. if (!ctype_alphanum ($_GET['showLocation'])) { // City contained invalid charcters, show error. $error = 'Not a valid city name'; } else { // City name validated, add to session array. $_SESSION['myLocation'] = $_GET['showLocation']; } } // If the city name is not set, add default. if(empty ($_SESSION['myLocation'])){ $_SESSION['myLocation'] = 'Lancaster, PA 19480'; } I wanted to be able to be able to display it on the page as is: Lancaster, PA 19480 But somehow do a replace to change the comma and empty space into dashes for when I write it into the page URL: Lancaster-PA-19480 Can both of these be done .. ?? Thanks much!

    Thank you! I am working on this now .. I will let you know how I make out .. I already have a couple questions but I really appreciate the help!

    Hello: Does anyone use CKEditor? I want to insert PHP tags: <? echo $myVar; ?> via the RTE (Rich Text Editor) but I cannot get them to display on the website. I am inserting the data in an admin area so I am not worried about malicious code. When I display the data on the frontend it does not appear. But, when I view the source code it is showing the code as I entered it: <? echo $myVar; ?> rather than whatever the myVar is (Hello World, for example). Does anyone know why this is happening or have a solution? I thought maybe I could do a str_replace as I insert the data or display the data .. ?? INSERT $myVar = mysql_real_escape_string(str_replace(array('{%', '%}'), array('<?', '?>'), $_POST['myVar'])); Using a set of {% %} tags first, but this does not work the way I am doing it. Display: $myVar = $row['myVar']; Or, is there an encoding type I need to declare ..?? Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello: Thanks for showing me this! I do have it working on the initial page. <?php session_start(); if(!isset($_GET['showCity'])){ $cityToShow = 'Philadelphia PA, 19128'; } else{ $cityToShow = $_GET['showCity']; } $_SESSION['showCity'] = $cityToShow; ?> <html> <? echo $cityToShow; ?> </html> But, how to I "swap" the city to another one of a new link is clicked (on this page or a different page)? I tried this: sitemap.php <?php session_start(); if(!isset($_GET['showCity'])){ $cityToShow = 'Lancaster'; } ?> echo "<li class='site-map-ul-li'><a href='$id.$myPageURL.$cityToShow.html' title='".$myTitle."'>".$myButtonTitle."</a></li>"; But it did not work ... "$cityToShow" writes the word "Lancaster" into the URL, so I assume it is working. I am using mod re-write to write the URLs" .htaccess RewriteRule ^([0-9]+).([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+).([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)\.html$ myPage.php?id=$1&myPageURL=$2cityToShow=$3 [L] Any ideas on how to accomplish this .. ??

    Hello there: Thanks for posting this well-written explanation. Yes, this does clear-up some of my questions! But I cannot get my script to work: <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['showCity']; $showCity = $_GET['showCity']; if($_SESSION['showCity'] == "") { $_SESSION['showCity'] == "Philadelphia PA, 19128"; } else { $_SESSION['showCity'] == $showCity; } <html> <? echo $showCity; ?> </html> Is it possible to do this is PHP? I am asking because I use to do something very similar in Classic ASP using a SERVER.TRANSFER method. But PHP does not have SERVER.TRANSFER. Any ideas how to get my script working properly? Thanks!

    Hello: I do not quite understand how SESSIONS work, so now is a good time to seek some answers .. I am trying to make a SESSION that will set a default location (if the session is blank) or display a SESSION requested from another link on that page, or a different page. Not fairing as well as I had hoped .. So .. Page.php: <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['showCity']; $showCity = $_GET['showCity']; if($_SESSION['showCity'] == "") { echo "Philadelphia PA, 19128"; } else { echo $showCity; } <html> <? echo $showCity; ?> </html> I am trying to define the SESSION at the top of the page, and then display it one or more times on the page. Not working ... Also, how would I change it if the SESSION variable is different on another page: <a href="Page.php?showCity='Lancaster PA, 14567">Lancaster PA, 14567</a> Can someone clear up my confusion .. ??
  24. spacepoet
    Probably a very dumb question on my part, but how do I do that ..
  25. spacepoet
    I am trying this: <? echo "<ul class='site-map-ul'>"; $radius = 20; $zip = "19128"; $query2 = "SELECT zip_id,lat,lon,city,abbr_state,zip FROM zip_codes WHERE (POW((69.1*(lon-\"$lon\")*cos($lat/57.3)),\"2\")+POW((69.1*(lat-\"$lat\")),\"2\"))<($radius*$radius)"; $result2 = mysql_query($query2); $num_rows2 = mysql_num_rows($result2); for($j=0;$j<$num_rows2;$j++) { $row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2); $zip_id = $row2['zip_id']; $lat = $row2['lat']; $lon = $row2['lon']; $city = $row2['city']; $abbr_state = $row2['abbr_state']; $zip = $row2['zip']; $city = ucwords(strtolower($city)); echo "<li class='site-map-ul-li'><a href='$zip_id.$city.$abbr_state.$zip.php?zip_id=$zip_id&city=$city&abbr_state=$abbr_state&zip=$zip' title='".$city." ".$abbr_state.", ".$zip."'>".$city." ".$abbr_state.", ".$zip."</a></li>"; } echo "</ul>"; ?> But not working .. Getting the error: [b]Warning[/b]: mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in [b]/home/content/55/9880955/html/sitemap.php[/b] on line [b]70[/b] Line 70: $num_rows2 = mysql_num_rows($result2); I assumed it would see the zipcode is 19128, and find all zipcodes within a 20 mile radius of it .. Apparently not ...
