I get no error message and no output. The shortcode itself displays and thats it. If I access business-directory.php in a browser an error, undefined function get-option() is encountered.

I am working on a wordpress project and one of the plugins I would like to use uses shortcode. I have not come across this before and I'm not sure if this is php or wordpress issue. The wordpress forum has to date not replied. Given that the shortcode is supposed to call the scripts I'm wondering if ther eis anothe rway to initiate the scripts. The plugin is business directory and the instal says to insert in the deisred location the following shortcode [bizdir_directory] The code is in a directory - business-directory The intial file is business-directory.php which needs a config file I have put the code for these below <?php /* Plugin Name: Business Directory Plugin URI: http://businessdirectory.squarecompass.com/ Description: The Business Directory plugin for Wordpress is an easy way to host a free directory page for your readers, affiliates, advertisers, community, club members, etc. Allow them to submit a simple advertisement listing for themselves on your blog.

Ok thanks I will work on that.

Thanks. I have tried restructuring the code but when I do my xml is not generated. The page is a custom wordpress page that has to use a template at the top of the script. If i dont include the the page cant be found it seems. I have also tried just echo out to the browser but again this fails. I know the buffer idea is lazy but i cant see anther way. Would you have any more pointers please.

Ok. I can get some .doc to upload. I will refine the array. Thanks guys

I have a page that I want to output xml rss data. I have used output buffering but still get header already sent error. I tried changing the logic so that page output was at the end but that esulted in no xml. Can anyone advise how to organise this code to avoid the problem. <?php ob_start(); /* Template Name: Feed */ ?> <?php get_header();?> <div id="leftnav"> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar1.php'); ?> <div id="right_pan"> </div> </div> <div id="rightnav"> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH .

Thanks. Still no joy. print_r ($_FILES) showsthe following Array ( [image] => Array ( [name] => Kevin_Read_Me.doc [type] => application/vnd.ms-word [tmp_name] => C:\PROGRA~1\EASYPH~1\\tmp\php4D.tmp [error] => 0 => 19456 ) ) 50.0KB

Thanks. I modfied the code as follows but still fails condition Any thoughts appreciated. // create an array of permitted MIME types $permitted = array('image/gif', 'image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg', 'image/png','application/msword/doc'); // check that file is of an permitted MIME type foreach ($permitted as $type) { if ($type == $_FILES['image']['type']||$type == $_FILES['application/msword']['type']) { $typeOK = true; break;

I have a simple upload program designed to upload images that I want to be able to alos upload word docs. I have amended my permitted array to include doc type but the upload is refused.

I think its wrapped in another class because the code is part of a series of exercices building a script to access the db, otput an xml file and subsequently create an RSS feed. Being new to oop I follow what you say but how to test a row is returned?

phpinfo() shows error_reporting=2039 display_errrors=on

display_errors=on error_reporting=23*9 sorry this is form memory as I am not at my test machine right now.

display errors == on and error_reporting = E_All & E_NOtice & E_Strict enabled in php.ini ?

Have done , but no change ?

Thanks error reporting is on but still blank screen. echo Hello world test shows classes loading. ?

reloading wp fixed issue

I am trying to adapt wordpress 2.7 to my purposes,pricipally a cms rather than blog. I have created several pages with individual templates that work fine, however the last page i have created concerning an upload program, ignores a call to the wp footer function. I had a similar problem when creating another template which ignored all wp function calls and gave an error undefined function get_header(). I am wondering debug this. Any help appreciated although I realise its not a strict php question, the wp forum is not responding. the code for the page in question <?php /* Template Name: registration */ ?> <?php get_header();?> <div id="leftnav"> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH .

At present the errors are title.inc fails to open the file ie no such file exits and in the header there is a parse error on line 12 trying to echo the $description this is a link to my test site http:217.46.159.226/ab_dev/

Ok this is the header function i include title.inc at the top. title.inc determines the page title we are on and the opens the relevant meta data file. This is where i need help to build the path to open the file and read the variables so they can be put in the meta tags. Header function do_html_header() { include ('./includes/title.inc.php'); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Authorbank<?php if (isset($title)) echo"&#8218;{$title}";?></title> <meta name="description"content=<?php echo{'$description'};?>/> <meta name="keywords"content=<?php echo{'$keywords'};?>/> <link href="/authorbank/includes/layout.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="/authorbank/includes/menu.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css />" <?php } Title.inc.php <?php $title = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], '.php'); $title = str_replace('_', ' ', $title); if ($title == 'index') { $title = 'home'; } $title = ucwords($title); //Build file path $path = './metadata/'; $path = $path.$title; //Read contents of file $data=fopen($path.$title,'r') or die('Cant open file'); $theData = fread($data,filesize($myFile)); fclose($data); ?> The meta data is in ./metadata/home.php for the first page. <?php $description="Authorbank Connecting Authors with Publishers"; $keywords="publishing, Finding a Publisher, Getting Published,writers, authors, submitting a book proposal"; ?>

Right. see what u mean.However my include call is within the function so shouldnt that make the variables available in the function?

I want to include variable mata data im my header by including the varaiablee from a page specific file. in the header i include a file to determine the page title and by passing this as a variable include the relevant page specific information. How do I write the include and echo the varaibles? The include include('./metadata/$title_metadata.php'); Header function <?php function do_html_header() { include ('./includes/title.inc.php'); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Authorbank<?php if (isset($title)) echo"&#8218;{$title}";?></title> <meta name="description"content=<?php echo"{$description};?>/> <meta name="keywords"content=<?php echo"{$keywords}";?>/> <link href="/authorbank/includes/layout.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="/authorbank/includes/menu.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css />" <?php } title.inc.php [code] <?php $title = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], '.php'); $title = str_replace('_', ' ', $title); if ($title == 'index') { $title = 'home'; } $title = ucwords($title); include ('./metadata/$title_metadata.php') ?> meta data [code] <?php $description="Authorbank Connecting Authors with Publishers"; $keywords="publishing, Finding a Publisher, Getting Published,writers, authors, submitting a book proposal"; ?> [/code] [/code]
