I'm sending a PM

Asking for an example, helps me learn

Thanks for your help. Much apppreciated

Thanks for your reply. In the browser, it stays the same ../upload_avatar.php When I right-click the blank page to 'view source' I see this: "Confirm Form Resubmission This webpage requires data that you entered earlier in order to be properly displayed. You can send this data again, but by doing so you will repeat any action this page previously performed. Press the reload button to resubmit the data needed to load the page. ERR_CACHE_MIS" Yes, I copied the template and .php file. I know have two places in the script with this Form. The original shows the errors properly, and the new Form only shows "Request has been completed", but a blank page for wrong file size or wrong file type. So, I'm not clear on what to do next, regarding the missing relative path, or a work around. Any additional help will be appreciated.

Sorry about my unintelligent reply. The failure is not showing in the log file, but I am getting admin notices by email of the failure

Thanks for your reply. My answer is I don't know Can you help me determine that?

In the script I'm using, I moved 'upload_avatar.php' and 'inner_upload_avatar.htm' from a Folder into the public_html and public_html/templates folder respectively. They work successfully there. The only thing I changed on 'upload_avatar.php' was this: include_once ('..classes/config.php'); include_once ('..classes/sessions.php'); to this: include_once ('classes/config.php'); include_once ('classes/sessions.php'); But, the only thing that doesn't work is the unsuccessful messages. When an image uploads successfully "Request has been completed" appears. But when I upload a non-image file type, or file too large, I see nothing. The script before I moved it shows" File dimensions error", or "File type not allowed". I'm stumped as to why those messages don't appear. I've attached upload_avatar.php. If you could help me figure out why this is the case, or suggest a simple work around, I'd greatly appreciate it. (Also, I know this code is old). Thanks. upload_avatar.php

Thanks for your reply. So, it is possible. Can you please provide an example of "set some session vars and do a header to the other script"?

With a basic image Upload Form, like the one in the script I'm using: <form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload_avatar.php"> <input type="hidden" name="security_token" value="[var.security_token]" /> <p align="center"><font face="Arial"><input type="file" name="img_file" size="20"></font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="upload"> <input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></font></p> </form> If I add a 'Title' field, 'Description' field/box, and when the fields are populated and the image is chosen (from the pc), and then the 'Submit' button is selected, can the image get processed by one .php file, and the 'Title', 'Description" text get processed by another .php file, from a single 'Submit' button? Is that possible?

Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated. Can you please give me more of an example of what you mean? Thanks

I'm using a PHP script which has this Search Form: <form method="get" action="search.php" autocomplete="off" name="form_search"> <select size="1" name="type" /> <option value="videos">[var.lang_word_videos]</option> <option value="images">[var.lang_word_images]<!--[onload;block=option;when [var.enable_images]=1;comm]--></option> </select> <input autocomplete="off" id="keyword" name="keyword" value="Search [var.site_name]" onclick="clickclear(this, 'Search [var.site_name]')" onblur="clickrecall(this,'Search [var.site_name]')" /> <input type="submit" value="Search" /> </form> How can I add an "All" option, so it can search both images and videos? Is it simply this? <option value="all">All</option> And then I would need to sync that in the search.php file? Can someone help with that part too?

Thank you for your reply. I changed the duplicated lines to this: <li style="width:240px; text-align:right;"><strong>[var.lang_tags]2:</strong></li> <li style="width:400px; text-align:left;"><input name="tags2" type="text" class="upload-video-form-input" value="[var.tags]" size="38" /> Buy I can't find what is entered into Tags2 field when I search. The mysql has a column named 'tags', so do you think I'd be on the right track if I added a column named 'tags2' in that db, and then add 'tags2' to this line in the search.php file: $type_query_rows = 'indexer, video_id, title, title_seo, date_uploaded, user_id, video_length, approved, public_private, description, tags, number_of_views'; I look forward to any guidance. Much thanks

I'm using the phpMotion script and trying to add a 2nd "tag" field to the Upload Video Form. (The 'tag' field is for entering tags or search words, so the video can be found when searching). <li style="width:240px; text-align:right;"><strong>[var.lang_tags]:</strong></li> <li style="width:400px; text-align:left;"><input name="tags" type="text" class="upload-video-form-input" value="[var.tags]" size="38" /> </li> I copied and duplicated that code, like so: <li style="width:240px; text-align:right;"><strong>[var.lang_tags]:</strong></li> <li style="width:400px; text-align:left;"><input name="tags" type="text" class="upload-video-form-input" value="[var.tags]" size="38" /> </li> <li style="width:240px; text-align:right;"><strong>[var.lang_tags]2:</strong></li> <li style="width:400px; text-align:left;"><input name="tags" type="text" class="upload-video-form-input" value="[var.tags]" size="38" /> </li> But upon submitting the Form, Tags2: (the duplicated line) was required to proceed, not the original Tag field. Can you tell me what else I need to do to create a second (required) Tag field?

After installing a PHP script, I see this // after the domain name in browser bar, for example www.awebsite.com//index.php How can I fix this?

Thanks for your reply. Is this "the list of columns"? $sql = "INSERT into member_profile (email_address, user_name, password, passwordSalt, first_name, last_name, zip_code, country, user_ip, birthday, account_status, account_type, date_created, random_code)

I've looked around the php script that I'm using and I can't figure out why my drop-down box border and background is blue when selected (see attached image). Can you help me with a suggestion on how to over-ride wherever that blue is? The css code I'm using to style the drop-down box is: input.common-input, select.dropdown_box { width:112px; height: 40px; padding: 4px 0px 0px 2px; margin: 0px; color:#cccccc; background: #ffffff; }

Thank you

Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. Although I'm completely clear on what you're suggesting? I'm sure I can "hide the current border of the drop-down list, but I'm not completely clear on the rest of your suggestion. Would you mind providing an example using my code?

I saw a website that had the drop-down menu in the search bar (on the right - where it shows "all Images" and a down arrow) - see SearchBar1 image attached. My current one on my web page looks like SearchBar2 image attached. I'm looking for guidance on how to change my code so that the drop-down menu looks more like SearchBar1 image. Any help will be appreciated. Here's my current code (which works successfully): <form method="get" action="../search.php" name="myForm" /> <select size="1" name="type" class="dropdown_box" /> <a href="#" class="dropdowmSubstitute" role="button"> <span class="textContainer"> <span class="dropdownText"> <option value="any string here">ALL</option> </span> </span> <span class="arrowContainer"> <span class="dropdownArrow">▼</span> </span> </a> <option value="1">Choice1</option> <option value="2">Choice2</option> </select> <input autocomplete="off" id="keyword" name="keyword" value="SEARCH WORDS" onfocus="if (this.value=='SEARCH WORDS') {this.value=''; this.style.color='#696969';}" onclick="clickclear(this, 'Search [var.site_name]')" onblur="clickrecall(this,'Search [var.site_name]')" value="" /> <input type="submit" value="VIEW"/> </form>

I uploaded but didn't attach. Please find it attached. Thanks again emailcompose.txt

Thanks again for your reply. I don't know how to find sender's email address value. I've attached the emailcompose php file (in txt form). Can you tell me if you can determine if that value is in there, please? Thanks

Thanks for that reply. Much appreciated. However, I'm hoping I can get clarification on: I'm not sure what you mean there. And I understand this: but I don't know how to change $members_email to "the sender". Any additional assistance will be welcomed. Much thanks again.

I'm using an existing php web site script where a user can turn on or off the ability to be notified (by email) if an internal message on the site has arrived into user's inbox. I'd like to modify the script so that the sender, of the internal message, be notified (by email), if the recipient has chosen not to be notified of internal messages. This is (part) the existing code: // check if receipients allow notifications is yes , send them a notification that they have an message if (notification_preferences($to_id, 'privatemessage') == true) { // send pm notification email to recipients registartion email addy $email_template = 'email_templates/newmessage.htm'; $subject = $config['email_new_email']; // at this point we do not have any email to send to $to = $members_email; $from = $config['notifications_from_email']; //send email template to TBS for rendering of variable inside $template = $email_template; $inner_template1 = "themes/$user_theme/templates/inner_email_compose.htm"; $TBS = new clsTinyButStrong; $TBS->NoErr = true; $TBS->LoadTemplate("$template"); $TBS->tbs_show(TBS_NOTHING); $message = $TBS->Source; //load postage.php include ('includes/postage.php'); $blk_notification = 1; $message_type = $config['word_success']; // Success $error_message = $config['error_25']; //25 == Request has been completed XXXXX=>success unset($_SESSION['update_token']); $_SESSION['update_token'] = ''; } If I replace the last } with } else { and then add the above code - modified - to notify the sender (by email) if the recipient has chosen not to be notified of internal messages. But I don't what to change in the code above, that would instruct it to } else { send something to the sender(of the internal message) email address. Can you help me with this part of my attempted modification? I've attached the entire code in txt (instead of php). Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. Resolved
