[SOLVED] forum issue or maybe php issue ??

runnerjp · May 31, 2008

for some reason i cant seem to understand that if i have a thread and a reply my form displays like so

but if i only have a thread it displays like this

sorry if this is in wrong room but im thinkin its my php thats doing it...

<table class='maintable'>

<tr class='headline'><td width=20%>Author</td><td width=80%>Post</td></tr> <?php
if ($pagenum == 1){
?>
<tr class='mainrow'><td valign='top'><?php echo $gettopic3['author'] ?> </td>
<td vakign='top'>created on <?php echo $gettopic3['showtime']?><br>
  <hr>
  <p>
  <?php

$message = $gettopic3['post'];

$message=nl2br($message); ?>

  <? echo $message ?></p>
  <p><br>

    </p></td></tr>
<?php
}

$getreplies="Select * from forumtutorial_posts where parentid='$id' $max"; //getting replies

$getreplies2=mysql_query($getreplies) or die(mysql_error()."Could not get replies");

while($getreplies3=mysql_fetch_array($getreplies2))

{

   ?><tr class='mainrow'><td valign='top'><? echo $getreplies3['author']?> </td><td vakign='top'>replied  at <? echo $getreplies3['showtime']?> <br>
  <hr>
    <p>
      <?php

   $message=$getreplies3['post'];

   $message=nl2br($message);

   ?>
      <?php echo $message?></p>
    <p><br>

      </p></td></tr>

</table>

ILYAS415 · May 31, 2008

spotted a spelling mistake on the 7th line...

<td vakign='top'>

supposed to be valign not vakign

also im not clear wat the problem is :S

ILYAS415 · May 31, 2008

same mistake towards the end...

<tr class='mainrow'><td valign='top'><? echo $getreplies3['author']?> </td><td vakign='top'>replied  at <? echo $getreplies3['showtime']?> <br>

you done vakign

wildteen88 · May 31, 2008

The problem is an HTML issue and not a PHP related one. Check through the HTML output for any errors.

runnerjp · May 31, 2008

paulman888888 · May 31, 2008

how many problems do you have?

You ask so many questions and i think you should stop getting the Amazing people a php freaks to make your forum. There here to help not make a whole system for you

runnerjp · May 31, 2008

they tinkerings in the system... i havent asked any 1 to make me a forum at all...

4 questions i have asked of today are

1. this one... which is not building anything but solving

2. how to add my url in a php echo ... once again building nothing of my forum but giving me advice so i know how to use it

3. whats the best way to do the sliding menu.... you told me spry... and i went away looked it up and as you see from my images i have it working... so this one was for advice...

4. i had my script set up within the ajax menu but it was not working properly... they advised my so insert a hidden field as this would solve it.... once again i built it all and just needed guidence on my error...

so to answer you question i have a few as im still gttin the nack of this stuff... learn as you go kinda job... so yes they are here to help in which they are doing and im very greatfull for but they have not created any part of my forum at all!

ILYAS415 · May 31, 2008

Hmm have you tried my suggestions yet

runnerjp · May 31, 2008

hey ILYAS415 i did indeed ... infect i found 2 saying vakign lol corrected them but the error still prosists

maybe its because the table has no data in it due to there been no data in my db on the lower 1 my replys

ILYAS415 · May 31, 2008

in your script when your looping for ur replies you used this...

<? echo $getreplies3['author']?>

Quickly check to make sure that thats right in the db.

I dont think that'll fix it tho. Its definately to do with the table (html and also layout).

Cant find the problem tho...

runnerjp · May 31, 2008

yer they are all correct as then there are in the db they are shown... but surly it cant be a html and layout problem because when i have information for both threads and replies it does this

this is the form thats goes wierd when there are no replies yet... as soon as i replie is made it goes correct

ILYAS415 · May 31, 2008

Hmm the script you provided isnt all of the script is it? Because in the script you provided theres no users online thing but in your screenshots there are.

runnerjp · May 31, 2008

this is just because its an include page thing... <? $page = $_GET['page'];

if (ereg('[A-Za-z0-9]',$page) ) {

if (file_exists('include/'.$page.'.php')) {

include('include/'.$page.'.php');

} else {

include('include/main.php');

}

} else {

include('include/main.php');

}?>

thats deff not issue

runnerjp · May 31, 2008

ok iv done cuttin pasting ect lol an i have found the problem

<?php
}

$getreplies="Select * from forumtutorial_posts where parentid='$id' $max"; //getting replies

$getreplies2=mysql_query($getreplies) or die(mysql_error()."Could not get replies");

while($getreplies3=mysql_fetch_array($getreplies2))

{

   ?>

this php here (i new it was php) but thing is why and what do i do

runnerjp · May 31, 2008
