Thanks! I told you it was a still question!

I've worked with php, but I've never really found something about this in tutorials. How do you make a webpage work like this: you have a store at http://yoursite.com/store.php and someone looks at an item and the address bar says this: http://yoursite.com/store.php?item="item" [*]how does the ?item="item" work? [*]how can i use it in my coding (make pages that that show that)? [*]Does it involve a database? I have more questions to, but start with these. Thanks, Ilvoetopk.

the error i'm getting is "No input file specified." I guess I thought I put it in the title or something. I should of looked at it closer!

Okay, I've (tried) to set up php with nginx, and php-cgi.exe is on the right port, but i get this error whether i load index.php (a page that exists) or bad.php (a page that doesn't exist) I've tried it without php-cgi running, or it running on the wrong port, and It loads forever than gives a "this page is temporarly unavaliable" error. I've been working at this for hours, please help! here is my nginx.conf file: #user nobody; worker_processes 1; #error_log logs/error.log; #error_log logs/error.log notice; #error_log logs/error.log info;

I'm calling the folder i've put it in WEMP (windows, engine x, mysql, php) because i'm going to get it all together and package it so anyone can use it if they want. I really need to get this worked out soon. I've got Apache and iis7 on this computer (I'm sure they're not interfering) and i have never had such a problem with them. basically this is going to be used as a test server. Thanks in advance (I hope i have a reason to thank later), Ilovetopk

thanks, i figured that out last night before you posted, and forget to tell you.

okay, now it says theirs a problem on line 71 (the ?> php end tag), see any problems their? the error changed too, it now: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end Thanks you two for helping, I've been working with php for a week (you read right, a week) so i'm still getting used to the semi-colon after every line!

i get this when trying to execute my change password script. It says it is on line 24. but it looks fine to me... can you guys see the problem? here is the line: $query = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE login='$login' AND passwd='".md5($passwdo)."'"; here is my entire script: <?php //enters connection details require_once('config.php'); //connects to mysql database $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD); if(!$link) { die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error()); } //selects database $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE, $link); if(!$db) { die("Unable to select database"); } //assigns entered text as variables $passwdo = $_POST['passwdo']; $passwdc = $_POST['passwdc']; $passwdc2 = $_POST['passwdc2']; $login = $_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID'] //checks password with server $query = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE login='$login' AND passwd='".md5($passwdo)."'"; $result = mysql_query($query); if(!$result) { print("Query Error: ".mysql_error()); } if($result) { if(mysql_num_rows($result) != 1) { echo 'password does not mach password in database.' header("location: change-password-form.php") } //checks for errors if($passwdc != $passwdc2) { $errmsg_arr[] = 'Passwords do not match. please reenter'; $errflag = true; } //error stuff if($errflag) { $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr; session_write_close(); header("location: change-password-form.php"); exit(); } //update password on database $query="UPDATE members SET passwd=md5('$passwordc') WHERE login='$login'"; $result=mysql_query($query); if(!$result) { print("Query Error: ".mysql_error()); } //redirects or tells of failure if($result) { header("location: change-password-success.php"); exit(); } else { die("Could not change password, try again in a few minutes, or contact the admin."); } //unset database unset($db); ?>

figured it out, the file type was hidden from me, it was an html, not a php! moved contents to php file, and wala!

When i submit my data via the form to my script script, it shows a blank page. When i view the source, it shows my php code. when i move the same script to the page with my form, it executes fine. why would this be? Is it something with permissions? <?php //enters connection details require_once('config.php'); //connects to mysql database $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD); if(!$link) { die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error()); } //selects database $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE, $link); if(!$db) { die("Unable to select database"); } //cleans posted login name $login = $_POST['user']; //gets email from server $query="SELECT email FROM members WHERE login='$login'"; $result=mysql_query($query); if(!$result) { print("Query Error: ".mysql_error()); } $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); //sets $email as their emqail address $email = $row['email']; //generates random password class utility { static $random = ''; // generates a random password // By default of length 12 having special characters static function generate_password($length = 12, $special_chars=true) { $chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789'; if($special_chars) $chars .= '!@#$%^&*_-()'; $password = ''; for($i=0; $i<$length; $i++) $password .= substr($chars, self::generate_random_number(0, strlen($chars)-1), 1); return $password; } // generates a random number between $min and $max static function generate_random_number($min=0, $max=0) { // generate seed.

I have wordpress in one directory on my website, and in another I have a test login form and other thing. The php for one page, my recover password script, will not execute. when i click submit and my form sends the data, it shows a blank page, and the source is my php code. i'm running windows 7 home premium, using firefox to browse the web, i have tested with IE. my script is below: <?php echo "World!"; ?> <?php //enters connection details require_once('config.php'); //connects to mysql database $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD); if(!$link) { die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error()); } //selects database $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE, $link); if(!$db) { die("Unable to select database"); } //cleans posted login name $login = $_POST['user']; //gets email from server $query="SELECT email FROM members WHERE login='$login'"; $result=mysql_query($query); if(!$result) { print("Query Error: ".mysql_error()); } $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); //sets $email as their emqail address $email = $row['email']; //generates random password class utility { static $random = ''; // generates a random password // By default of length 12 having special characters static function generate_password($length = 12, $special_chars=true) { $chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789'; if($special_chars) $chars .= '!@#$%^&*_-()'; $password = ''; for($i=0; $i<$length; $i++) $password .= substr($chars, self::generate_random_number(0, strlen($chars)-1), 1); return $password; } // generates a random number between $min and $max static function generate_random_number($min=0, $max=0) { // generate seed.

ok, any suggestions on an easy to set up mail server. I was looking at mercury mail, but i need a good tutorial on how to set it up.

ok, i got the errors down to here. Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in E:\xampplite\htdocs\PHP-Login\forgot.php on line 66 Could not mail password, try again in a few minutes, or contact the admin. The "Could not mail password, try again in a few minutes, or contact the admin." is my error if i can't send the email, so i just need to work out the sendmail function

suddenly something happened World!Query Error: Unknown column 'test' in 'where clause' Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in E:\xampplite\htdocs\PHP-Login\forgot.php on line 27 Query Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '['']) WHERE login=test' at line 1 Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in E:\xampplite\htdocs\PHP-Login\forgot.php on line 67 Could not mail password, try again in a few minutes, or contact the admin. any idea how to fix all of this?

ok, gimme some suggestions! My wordpress blog (in a diffrent directory) is almost entirely php, and it's working!
