Thanks but they are all far too complex and most of them aren't downloadable/free. All I need is a very simple system, any more ideas?
-
I'm looking to source a very simple bug tracker like system. With the ability to add, update and edit bugs/issues/whatever and view a complete list of current bugs/issues. A page with a table which displays the entire database, another page which allows someone to add to the database, a page which allows you to view a bug in more detail and update it. I want it to be as small and simple as possible, I've tried making it myself but I've come across so many problems as I'm not very good with PHP. So ideally the system would be easily customisable through the PHP files. I've had a good look around google and haven't found anything suitable, everything is either far too huge and hard to install or customise. Any ideas?

That fixed it! Even though I have no idea what the whole: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-gb"> means! Why does IE require that for it to show the border? But Firefox does not? Also I noticed I had done the "margin right: 20%;" wrong, should be "margin-right: 20%;"!

It's what the book told me to type! Head first with HTML, XHTML & CSS. In the book it shows the text with a dotted frame all the way around it (.....).

Thanks. Fixed the missing </body> tag and the color spelling, still the border thing is not there: Internet Explorer: IE 7 if that helps.

Hi there. I'm going through a XHTML and CSS book, it told me to type all of this directly off the page: <html> <head> <title>Starbuzz Coffee</title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-colour: #d2b48c; margin-left: 20%; margin right: 20%; border: 1px dotted gray; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; font-family: sans-serif; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Starbuzz Coffee Beverages</h1> <h2>House Blend, $1.49</h2> <p>A smooth, mild blend of coffees from Mexico, Bolivia and Guatemala.</p> <h2>Mocha Cafe Latte, $2.35</h2> <p>Espresso, steamed mil and chocolate syrup.</p> <h2>Cappuccino, $1.89</h2> <p>A mixture of espresso, steamed milk and foam.</p> <h2>Chai Tea, $1.85</h2> <p>A spicy drink made with black tea, spices, milk and honey.</p> </html> Now that should display with a tan background colour and a grey border, but it displays like so for me... And I don't think that's even the correct font it's suppose to be using. IE: Firefox: That code is in the book and shows me a picture of how it should display... Have I done something wrong? Why is it not working? Thanks!

Help! Starting Apache and using PHP problem.
Braveheartt replied to Braveheartt's topic in PHP Installation and Configuration
Can you possibly move this to the WAMP forum? Why would trying to load a php file in the htdocs directory either show as a white page, or "internet explorer cannot display this webpage" it's normally when I'm trying to execute mysql commands in the script... -
Help! Starting Apache and using PHP problem.
Braveheartt replied to Braveheartt's topic in PHP Installation and Configuration
If you want to develop PHP you need the right tools but if you really can't be bothered and just want to get on with things (understandable) you might have better luck with something like Xampp. This will install and configure everything you need to get started. Sorry about that! I know it is the Linux area and I am using windows, I thought I had posted in the WAMP forum. Apologies... I suppose I'll give that XAMPP a go! Two questions though, should I uninstall all the apache, PHP and mysql before installing XAMPP? Also it says it has things like perl etc, can i specify which to install? Thanks! -
Right, trying to get on with my new PHP book, but I need all this jazz installed, Apache mySQL and PHP... Anyway after a long time actually installing them all it finally seemed to be over, so I try out the first test PHP file with simply <?php echo("test?"); ?> Which should of course just show "test?", first time I tried it it just showed the entire source code... So I reinstalled apache and it did the configuration properly as it says, it then started to just show a blank white page no sign of "test?"... So I read on and noticed I had to reboot my computer, so I did! Come back in, get everything open again and the apache server will NOT start now... One fu- eh problem after the next, every time I try to start it, it simply says "the process failed!" or something similar. I'm going to pull my hair out over this, can someone help me out? So much unnecessary crap for something I could simply use a hoasted web server for… But nevertheless better to have it local I suppose. EDIT: Error log says: "Syntax error on line 128 of C:/Apache/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'AddModule', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration" The book told me to use the "AddModule" even though I didn't see any other "AddModule" only "LoadModule"... It told me to add: "LoadModule php5_module C:/php/php5apache.dll AddModule mod_php5.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml"

MySQL server version: 5.0 I'm just getting started with my new PHP book, and it requires me to install mySQL... Thing is this mySQL is a complete PAIN to install, it's far from easy or at least - obvious. So I've downloaded the installer and installed it. I used to configuration tool to configure options which I don't even know what they are for as no descriptions were present. Anyway all that done I try to start the server through a command line with "C:\MySQL\bin\mysql" that keeps on telling me "Error 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)". I've tried to start it with "NET START MySQL" that keeps saying "System error 3 has occurred The system cannot find the path specified". Note: I have installed it to C:\MySQL I'm trying to get it to run locally so I can crack on with PHP... Can someone help me get this all sorted and started please? Thanks...

I want to create several pages in which you have to input a password on the starting page to access. So for instance: start.php - password if correct redirect to home.php and access to: 1.php 2.php 3.php Etc if incorrect password, say so and redirect back to start.php if anyone tries to open a page beyond start.php they should be instantly redirected back to start.php unless they've inputted a correct password. So, what exactly would I put on every page? I know it's to do with sessions... Also should I protect each page then code in the content or vice versa?
-
I don't quite understand...
-
It doesn't work... I can simply type the URL of a "protected" page into the address bar and it will load up. Do I need to start a new session on every page? And shouldn't I be using a $_POST to get what actually was typed into the password box? DAMN this frustrates me .
-
So "$_SESSION['password']" I store the password in, and I don't have to redefine that on every page, what should I put into $password? And what about getting the user's input? Shoudl I use the POST method?
-
I don't understand what you mean... What about using echos instead? You can't!? So how can I make the browser redirect if someone just happens to type the link into their address bar without going through the password stage...? Do you mean a header on its own and not part of an if/elseif/else statement?
