Drax123 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hi all, Im in need of some advice and help on how to fix some errors on my friends website. I have looked at the code but its really spinning my head since its been a while that i looked at any Php scripts and I dont know who wrote the app or where it came from to get advice. The problems are: 1. The view fonts page displays the font links but have no font images 2. The values for detecting if a user is coming from the website or Ebay has stopped working To give an idea of what i mean here is the links http://www.mandbplates.co.uk/designer.php http://www.mandbplates.co.uk/plate_designer.php?caller=ebay I think this is about 3 or 4 years old, so im also woundering if there is a better way to re-design this site. I can post the Php code if anyone has any ideas where the errors might be. Thanks in advance, Best Regards to all.

.josh Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 -You say you have a 3rd party script. -You mention vague errors, offering to dump a bunch of code on people to pour through. -You haven't mentioned anything as far as your own efforts to fix the problem. -You're wanting general advice for (re)designing the site, when you already admitted your lack of experience. I stick by what I said. It's nothing personal.

Fantastic.....A global mod with so many Stars......Its not my lack of experiance that's at Question....If you care to read, I was asking for advice or Idea's of where the problelms may lie.....Not for someone to fix it.....belive me I have already been dumped with this on my own lap and would not pass this onto anyone else expecting free fixes....As for vauge errors that is exactly why I just post the links instead of dumping all the the code here.......The re-design you mention is only due to the fact that I am maybe a little behind the times.....not having done much for the past 2 Years and not having the time to dedicate to traweling code....from your replies I can see that I need to book some time off so I can sort this myself Anyways Thankyou very much for All your help.....

PFMaBiSmAd Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Don't expect people in forums to visit links in posts. Provide all necessary information in your post to get the quickest solution. For the second Ebay problem, posting a link to the site was just about pointless because you did not bother to describe what exactly on that page is incorrect. How is anyone in a forum supposed to know what the page should do or should look like unless you provide that information? 1. The view fonts page displays the font links but have no font imagesObviously the HTML output or the image content sent to the browser is incorrect. Have you checked if the "view source" of the page in the browser is correct? Have you checked that the file that outputs the images is outputting the correct content? Is the code in the file responsible for outputting the images generating any errors in your web server error log file? Is error_reporting set to E_ALL so that you even get a report of all errors that might occur? 2. The values for detecting if a user is coming from the website or Ebay has stopped workingThe page looks fine to me. What are you talking about? 2000 different people could have written the first post in this thread and there could be a different problem in each of their programs. When it comes to symptoms from programs, there is generally not a one to one relationship between any symptom and what is causing it. Troubleshooting starts with the output that is incorrect and works backward until you find the wrong logic or the wrong data that is causing that incorrect output.
