Problem with maintenance forms

Lucuis · October 16, 2008

I have a problem where when i click on the links to edit/remove/add a category or product, i get an error that reads "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." In other words the "link" in the code to go to the editing forms isn't working. I have stared at the code for hours and cannot figure out why it isn't working. It looks as if it should, but perhaps it's because some of it may be old php script. I fairly certain if i can figure out why one form isn't rendering, i can fix the others.

Anyway here is a section of code, from categories.php, linking to one of the forms that doesn't show. I'm fairly certain it's something in this piece of code that causing the "add category form" not to display. I could be wrong, i'll post the categories.php in it's entirety upon request.

function print_add_category_form($id) {

/* print a blank category form so we can add a new category */



global $CFG, $ME;



/* get the name of the parent category */

$qid = db_query("SELECT name AS parent FROM categories WHERE id = $id");

$frm = db_fetch_array($qid);



/* set default values for the reset of the fields */

$frm["parent"] = ov($frm["parent"]);

$frm["newmode"] = "insert";

$frm["name"] = "";

$frm["description"] = "";

$frm["submit_caption"] = "Add Subcategory";



include("templates/category_form.php");	

}

Thanks in advance.

We really need to see the part that generates those links to be able to help you at all. Also, you should check the generated HTML and look at the links - it might give you, or us, a clue as to what the problem is.

I agree. You only posted the function. I don't have any idea when it will be called.

Lucuis · October 16, 2008

Ok that's what i figured. So i'd assume you need to see the entire "categories.php" code.

categories.php

<?php



/******************************************************************************

* MAIN

*****************************************************************************/



include("../application.php");



$DOC_TITLE = "MyMarket Category Management";

include("templates/header.php");



switch (nvl($mode)) {

case "add" :

	print_add_category_form(nvl($id, 0));

	break;



case "edit" :

	print_edit_category_form($id);

	break;



case "del" :

	delete_category($id);

	print_category_list();

	break;



case "insert" :

	insert_subcategory($id, $HTTP_POST_VARS);

	print_category_list();

	break;



case "update" :

	update_category($id, $HTTP_POST_VARS);

	print_category_list();

	break;



default :

	print_category_list();

	break;

}



include("templates/footer.php");



/******************************************************************************

* FUNCTIONS

*****************************************************************************/



function print_add_category_form($id) {

/* print a blank category form so we can add a new category */



global $CFG, $ME;



/* get the name of the parent category */

$qid = db_query("SELECT name AS parent FROM categories WHERE id = $id");

$frm = db_fetch_array($qid);



/* set default values for the reset of the fields */

$frm["parent"] = ov($frm["parent"]);

$frm["newmode"] = "insert";

$frm["name"] = "";

$frm["description"] = "";

$frm["submit_caption"] = "Add Subcategory";



include("templates/category_form.php");	

}



function print_edit_category_form($id) {

/* print a category form so we can add a edit the selected category */



global $CFG, $ME;



/* load up the information for the category */

$qid = db_query("

SELECT name, description, parent_id

FROM categories

WHERE id = $id

");

$frm = db_fetch_array($qid);



/* set values for the form */

$frm["parent"] = "<select name=\"parent_id\">"

	. db_listbox("SELECT id, name FROM categories", $frm["parent_id"])

	. "</select>";

$frm["newmode"] = "update";

$frm["submit_caption"] = "Save Changes";



include("templates/category_form.php");	

}



function delete_category($id) {

/* delete the category specified by $id, and move all the products under

* that category to the immediate parent.  this should be wrapped inside a

* transaction, unfortunately MySQL currently does not support transactions. */



global $CFG, $ME;



/* find the parent of this category */

$qid = db_query("

SELECT cat.name, cat.parent_id, parent.name AS parent

FROM categories cat, categories parent

WHERE parent.id = cat.parent_id

	AND cat.id = $id

");

$cat = db_fetch_object($qid);



/* delete this category */

$qid = db_query("

DELETE FROM categories

WHERE id = $id

");	



/* re-assign all the products in this category to the parent category */

$qid = db_query("

UPDATE products_categories

SET category_id = $cat->parent_id

WHERE category_id = $id

");



/* re-assign all sub categories of this category to the parent category */

$qid = db_query("

UPDATE categories

SET parent_id = $cat->parent_id

WHERE parent_id = $id

");



include("templates/category_deleted.php");

}



function insert_subcategory($id, $frm) {

/* add a new subcategory under the parent $id.  all the fields that we want are

* going to in the variable $frm */



global $CFG, $ME;



$qid = db_query("

INSERT INTO categories (parent_id, name, description)

VALUES ($frm[id], '$frm[name]', '$frm[description]')

");

}



function update_category($id, $frm) {

/* update the category $id with new values.  all the fields that we want are

* going to in the variable $frm */



global $CFG, $ME;



$qid = db_query("

UPDATE categories SET

	 parent_id = '$frm[parent_id]'

	,name = '$frm[name]'

	,description = '$frm[description]'

WHERE id = $id

");

}



function print_category_list() {

/* read all the categories from the database and print them into a table.  we

* will use a template to display the listings to keep this main script clean */



global $CFG, $ME;



$qid = db_query("

SELECT cat.id, cat.name, cat.description, parent.name AS parent

FROM categories cat, categories parent

WHERE parent.id = cat.parent_id

	AND cat.id > 0

");



include("templates/category_list.php");	

}

?>

And just in case i'll post one of the forms i am trying to display.

category_form.php

<form name="entryform" method="post" action="<?php echo $ME?>">

<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="<?php echo $frm["newmode"]?>">

<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo pv($id)?>">

<table>

<tr>

<td class=label>Parent:</td>

<td class=normal><?php echo $frm["parent"]?></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class=label>Name:</td>

<td><input type="text" name="name" size=25 value="<?php pv($frm["name"]) ?>"></td>

</tr>

<tr valign=top>

<td class=label>Description:</td>

<td><textarea name="description" cols=50 rows=5><?php pv($frm["description"]) ?></textarea></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td></td>

<td><input type="submit" value="<?php echo $frm["submit_caption"] ?>"></td>

</table>

</form>

Hopefully this'll have what you need. Thanks again for the help:)

GingerRobot · October 16, 2008

I still cant see any links there. I'm not misunderstanding you am I? Your first post suggested that broken links were the problem.

Maq · October 16, 2008

i get an error that reads "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." In other words the "link" in the code to go to the editing forms isn't working.

We need the actual page that contains the links. We can't help fixing broken links with SQL statements... Well, maybe you could...

Lucuis · October 16, 2008

hmm, i'm not sure then. When i have the browser open to the categories page it shows categories.php at the end of the address bar.

The only other thing that suggests being linked to any other pages or forms are these lines in the categories.php file.

include("../application.php");
include("templates/header.php");
include("templates/footer.php");
include("templates/category_form.php");
include("templates/category_form.php");
include("templates/category_deleted.php");
include("templates/category_list.php");

I guess for the heck of it i can post all those.

First is application.php

<?php session_start();
// error reporting
ini_set('display_errors','On');
error_reporting(E_ALL);

/* define a generic object */
class object {};

/* setup the configuration object */
$CFG = new object;

$CFG->dbhost = "localhost";
$CFG->dbname = "FatalIndustries";
$CFG->dbuser = "FatalIndustries";
$CFG->dbpass = "jfry56gfd";

$CFG->wwwroot     = "/FatalIndustries";
$CFG->dirroot     = "/var/www/html/FatalIndustries";
$CFG->templatedir = "$CFG->dirroot/templates";
$CFG->libdir      = "$CFG->dirroot/lib";
$CFG->imagedir    = "$CFG->wwwroot/images";

/* define database error handling behavior, since we are in development stages
* we will turn on all the debugging messages to help us troubleshoot */
$DB_DEBUG = true;
$DB_DIE_ON_FAIL = true;

/* load up standard libraries */
require("$CFG->libdir/stdlib.php");
require("$CFG->libdir/dblib.php");

/* setup some global variables */
$ME = qualified_me();

/* start up the sessions, to keep things clean and manageable we will just
* use one array called SESSION to store our persistent variables */

session_register("SESSION");

/* connect to the database */
db_connect($CFG->dbhost, $CFG->dbname, $CFG->dbuser, $CFG->dbpass);

I hate to post the much code for you all to sift through, but i'm not sure what else to do atm ???

GingerRobot · October 17, 2008

Maybe it's just me, but im still confused. This is what you said in your first post:

I have a problem where when i click on the links to edit/remove/add a category or product, i get an error that reads "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." In other words the "link" in the code to go to the editing forms isn't working.

Where are these links?

Maq · October 17, 2008

Maybe it's just me, but im still confused. This is what you said in your first post:

It's not you that's confused...

We need the piece of code you mentioned!

the "link" in the code to go to the editing forms

Lucuis · October 18, 2008

Well maybe i'm confused. I'm very new to php, lol, so bear with me.

I'm starting to think there is no actual link, and that's what the problem is. I've already posted up almost every page of code i have. And i'm certain the other pages interact in the exact same way these ones do...or are supposed to do.

Like i said i get the error "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." I'm guessing because the "URL" doesn't exist so to speak.

What the code is supposed to do, in categories.php, is present a list of my database categories. There is "links," as in text to click on, to add, edit, delete categories and subcategories. What it's supposed to do is bring up the forms posted previously that allow me to do so. Instead of bringing up a form it gives me the aforementioned error.

Since there is apparently no link that you guys can see, i need to make one to do as mentioned earlier. If that's the case, then that's what i need help on.

I can provide a screenshot of the page, and what happens when i click if need be.

Thanks for having such patience And hopefully we can get this sorted out.

Lucuis · October 18, 2008

Missed the modify time limit. Copy/Paste below.

EDIT: Ok i just came across this.

<a href="<?php echo $ME?>?mode=add">[+C] Add Category</a>

That i know is a link. And it's broken. When i have it open in my browser it says "[+C] Add Category" and of course when i click it gives that error.

All the links that are broken is from the list that is called from the categories.php page. It calls this list.

category_list.php

<p class=normal>

<a href="<?php echo $ME?>?mode=add">[+C] Add Category</a>

</p>



<table border=1 cellpadding=3>

<tr>

<th>Action</th>

<th>Category</th>

<th>Parent</th>

<th>Description</th>

</tr>



<?php while ($r = db_fetch_object($qid)) { ?>

<tr>

<td class=normal>

	[ <a title="Add a subcategory under <?php pv($r->name) ?>" href="<?php echo $ME?>?mode=add&id=<?php pv($r->id) ?>">+C</a>

	| <a title="Add a product under <?php pv($r->name) ?>" href="products.php?mode=add&category_id=<?php pv($r->id) ?>">+P</a>

	| <a title="Delete <?php pv($r->name) ?>" href="<?php echo $ME?>?mode=del&id=<?php pv($r->id) ?>">X</a>

	]

</td>

<td class=normal><a title="Edit this category" href="<?php echo $ME?>?mode=edit&id=<?php pv($r->id) ?>"><?php pv($r->name) ?></a></td>

<td class=normal><?php pv($r->parent) ?></td>

<td class=normal><?php pv($r->description) ?></td>

</tr>

<?php } ?>



</table>

All the links have the exact same error, for each and every category.

GingerRobot · October 18, 2008

Ok, so where is $ME defined? I would imagine there's something wrong there. Mind showing us the generated HTML source of those links? Alternatively, try changing $ME to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

Maq · October 18, 2008

Try echoing out your links to make sure they're correct or even exist...

Lucuis · October 19, 2008

Ok, so where is $ME defined? I would imagine there's something wrong there. Mind showing us the generated HTML source of those links? Alternatively, try changing $ME to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

It's defined in the application.php file. Using $ME = qualified_me();

This is the source generated on the categories.php page.

And i'll give your code change a try. Thanks.

Lucuis · October 19, 2008

Ok when i define $ME as $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] in application.php i get an error. Unless you meant me to change each and every $ME to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] manually.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/html/FatalIndustries/application.php on line 38

On line 38 the code reads.

session_register("SESSION");

Additionally, before i changed the definition, i tried putting the category_form.php url into the browser. I get another error, surprise surprise lol.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function pv() in /var/www/html/FatalIndustries/admin/templates/category_form.php on line 3

Line 3 of category_form.php

<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo pv($id)?>">

Maybe that might have something to do with the links being broken? Is is it just because $id is only defined when you actually click on the link.

Ok, so as suspected, the problem is with $ME. Take a look at the link it's generating:

<a href="http://?mode=add">[+C] Add Category</a>

There are plenty more like that, and they're all badly formed links. To fix, we'll need to see the code for qualified_me(). Or, switch to using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. You are correct that you could make $ME equal to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. I would imagine that you got an error because you missed off the semi colon at the end of the line. Basically, you need to find where you define $ME (e.g. $ME = qualified_me()

and change it to:

$ME = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

As for the final error, well, it's exactly as it says. The function pv() hasn't been defined. It has nothing to do with the fact $id isn't set (though, you would likely get a different error once you fix this one all the while $id isn't it). Did you forget to include a file with the definition in it?

Lucuis · October 21, 2008

Ok, one problem down, on to the next >.<

The error i got when i made $ME = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; before is gone, I believe i did forget the semi-colon. So now i don't get any error, no URL blah blah error, nothing. So that's good. However, the links still don't work. The page refreshes but nothing else happens. Do i have to change anything in addition to $ME = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?
