Could someone help a newbie debug this script?

[DeltaW7]

Hi,

 

Could someone help me with this script I wrote please?

 

The problem is, if you submit data from a form to the page, everything works up to the point of elseif ($user->loadalias($_POST['alias'])).

I have tried commenting out all the lines below, but ever time the page is blank. No errors, warnings, nothing.

Doe's that make sense?

 

 

Thank you

 

The Page

-----------------------

<?php
		 	if ((!isset($_POST['email'])) || (strlen($_POST['name']) == 0) || (strlen($_POST['email']) == 0) || (strlen($_POST['alias']) == 0) || (strlen($_POST['password']) == 0) || (strlen($_POST['retype']) == 0))
		 	{
		 		WriteForm("Please complete all fields.");
			}
			else
			{
				require_once("includes/user.class.php");
				$user = new user();
				if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $_POST['email']))
				{
					WriteForm("Invalid email address.");
				}
				elseif ($user->loademail($_POST['email']))
				{
					WriteForm("Email address has already been registered.");
				}
				elseif ($user->loadalias($_POST['alias']))
				{
					WriteForm("Alias has already been taken by another user.");
				}		
				elseif (strlen($_POST['password']) < 
				{
					WriteForm("Password must be at least 8 characters long.");
				}
				elseif ($_POST['password'] != $_POST['retype'])
				{
					WriteForm("Your passwords don't match.");
				}
				else
				{
					$user->name = $_POST['name'];
					$user->email = $_POST['email'];
					$user->setpassword($_POST['password']);
					$user->alias = $_POST['alias'];
					$user->save();
					$_SESSION['user'] = $user;
					WriteForm("COMPLETE");
				}
			}
			?>

 

The WriteForm method just has echo $message; Nothing else.

The user class

<?php

class user
{
public $id;
public $name;
public $email;
public $alias;
public $password;
public $dob;
public $locationid;

protected $db;

function user()
{
	require_once("config.php");
	require_once("db.class.php");
	$this->db = new db();
}

public function setpassword($password)
{
	if (strlen($password) < 
	{
		return false;	
	}	
	$this->password = md5($password);
	return true;
}	

public function checkpassword($password)
{
	if ($this->password == md5($password))
	{
		return true;
	}	
	return false;
}

public function loademail($email)
{
	$this->db->connect();
	$result = $this->db->queryone("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='" . $email . "'");	
	if ($result)
	{
		$this->id = $result['id'];
		$this->name = $result['name'];
		$this->email = $result['email'];
		$this->alias = $result['alias'];
		$this->password = $result['password'];
		$this->dob = $result['dob'];
		$this->locationid = $result['locationid'];
		$this->db->disconnect();
		return true;
	}
	$this->db->disconnect();
	return false;
}

public function loadalias($alias)
{
	$this->db->connect();
	$result = $this->db->queryone("SELECT * FROM users WHERE alias='" . $alias . "'");	
	if ($result)
	{
		$this->id = $result['id'];
		$this->name = $result['name'];
		$this->email = $result['email'];
		$this->alias = $result['alias'];
		$this->password = $result['password'];
		$this->dob = $result['dob'];
		$this->locationid = $result['locationid'];
		$this->db->disconnect();
		return true;
	}
	$this->db->disconnect();
	return false;
}

public function save()
{
	$this->db->connect();
	if (isset($this->id))
		$this->db->nonquery("UPDATE users SET email='" . $this->email . "', password='" . $this->password . "', name='" . $this->name . "', dob='" . $this->dob . "', alias='" . $this->alias . "', locationid='" . $this->locationid . "' WHERE id='" . $this->id . "'");
	else
		$this->db->nonquery("INSERT INTO users VALUES ('', '" . $this->email . "','" . $this->password . "','" . $this->name . "','" . $this->dob . "','" . $this->alias . "','" . $this->locationid . "')");
	$this->db->disconnect();
}

public function delete()
{
	$this->db->connect();
	if (isset($this->id))
	$this->db->nonquery("DELETE FROM users WHERE id='" . $this->id . "'");
	$this->db->disconnect();
}
}

turn error reporting on at the top of your page

 

place this code at the top of your page and see if it gives in errors..

 

error_reporting(E_ALL);

Hi,

 

Thanks for the tip, I have done as you suggested and no errors where thrown.

 

Here is the page: http://www.friendcodes.co.uk/register.php

 

If you fill in fake data, everything works fine up to the point after the check is done to see if the user exists.

I have a test user in the database email address bob@hope.com, his alias is Test User. I have been using it to check the form validation.

 

 

Any other thoughts?

Turning on errors is the first step, but you also have to Display them.

Hi,

 

Give me a clue, newbie at work... 

[revraz]

ini_set("display_errors", 1);

 

[Maq]

Put this at the top of your page:

 

ini_set ("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);

 

You should also echo out all of your variables to make sure they have the correct values.
