I'm guessing the no reply means this is just one of those things i will have to figure out for myself.

where can i find information on what i need to change? that way i can be proactive about it.

I just want to say thank you very much. your suggestion worked right off the bat. whoever made the site did not add a php.ini so i had to modify the .htaccess file with your changes. again thank you, you saved me a lot of pain and suffering.

Does anyone have an idea on what i might try to resolve this issue? I am at my wits end. I have been trying to figure this out for the last week.

here is the code from swapshop.php if it helps.. <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="4">Swap Shop<br> <font size="2">Welcome to our Swap Shop online.</font></font></p> <?php //check for new item if($title) { $name = mysql_escape_string($name);

$town = mysql_escape_string($town); $sql = "INSERT INTO swapshop VALUES (null,now(),'$category','$name','$title','$description','$phone','$action','$town','$ip','No')"; $result = mysql_query($sql); print <<<END <p><b><font color="#FF0000" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Added Item to Swap Shop</font></b></p> END;

i'm not exactly sure, like i said, i'm just taking over. normally the first page the customer will go to is www.kwhw.com/swapshop.php. then they will click on a link to take them to the view-swapshop.php.... when they click on the the link it adds ?c= (name of catagory) to the address bar.

oh, sorry, when i go to the page in question mainly (http://www.kwhw.com/view-swapshop.php?c=All%20Items) it doesn't pull any data from the database.

Hello, I am extremely new to php. I recently took over as webmaster for a company and I have started running into problems. There website worked perfectly when I started. The owner then decided to switch over to a new hosting company. My problem is that parts of the website pull data from a database. the only thing that has changed within the page is the info for the database to which it connects to. I have listed the code that i am using below. if someone gets a chance can you just tell me if you see anything wrong with it? Thanks in advance. <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="4">Swap Shop<br> <font size="2">Welcome to our Swap Shop online.</font></font></p> <p><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Viewing: </font></b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $c; ?></font></p> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> <?php if($c != "All Items") { $result = mysql_query("SELECT name,phone,action,title,description,town,itemID FROM swapshop WHERE category = '$c' AND to_days(now()) - to_days(date) <= 5 AND checked = 'Yes' ORDER BY date DESC",$db); } else { $result = mysql_query("SELECT name,phone,action,title,description,town,itemID FROM swapshop WHERE to_days(now()) - to_days(date) <= 5 AND checked = 'Yes' ORDER BY date DESC",$db); } while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { if($myrow[0] != "") { $ename = "$myrow[0], "; } else { $ename = ""; } if($myrow[2] == "Buy") { $eaction = "To Buy: "; } if($myrow[2] == "Sell") { $eaction = "For Sale: "; } if($myrow[2] == "Give Away") { $eaction = "To Give Away: "; } print <<<END <a name="$myrow[6]"></a> <b>${eaction}$myrow[3]</b> <br>$myrow[4] <br><i>${ename}$myrow[1], $myrow[5], (#${myrow[6]})</i> <hr> END; } ?> </font>
