[SOLVED] Rating script

[dropfaith]

okay so this connects elsewhere on my page and is pulling the data just fine the error im getting is

Notice: Undefined variable: mode in /home/www/lawrenceguide.org/www/recipes/profile.php on line 184

also its not updating if a person votes but i assume the Notice has something to do with that

 

<?php
//Puts SQL Data into an array
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM RecipeVote WHERE Name = '$Name'") or die(mysql_error());

//Now we loop through all the data
while($ratings = mysql_fetch_array( $data ))
{

//This outputs the sites name
Echo "Name: " .$ratings['Name']."<br>";

//This calculates the sites ranking and then outputs it - rounded to 1 decimal
$current = $ratings['Total'] / $ratings['Votes'];
Echo "Current Rating: " . round($current, 1) . "<br>";

//This creates 5 links to vote a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 rating for each particular item
Echo "Rank Me: ";
Echo "<a href=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?mode=vote&voted=1&Id=".$ratings['Id'].">Vote 1</a> | ";
Echo "<a href=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?mode=vote&voted=2&Id=".$ratings['Id'].">Vote 2</a> | ";
Echo "<a href=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?mode=vote&voted=3&Id=".$ratings['Id'].">Vote 3</a> | ";
Echo "<a href=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?mode=vote&voted=4&Id=".$ratings['Id'].">Vote 4</a> | ";
Echo "<a href=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?mode=vote&voted=5&Id=".$ratings['Id'].">Vote 5</a><p>";
}
//We only run this code if the user has just clicked a voting link
if ( $mode=="vote")
{

//If the user has already voted on the particular thing, we do not allow them to vote again $cookie = "Mysite$Id";
if(isset($_COOKIE[$cookie]))
{
Echo "Sorry You have already ranked that site <p>";
}

//Otherwise, we set a cooking telling us they have now voted
else
{
$month = 2592000 + time();
setcookie(Mysite.$Id, Voted, $month);

//Then we update the voting information by adding 1 to the total votes and adding their vote (1,2,3,etc) to the total rating
mysql_query ("UPDATE RecipeVote SET Total = Total+$voted, Votes = Votes+1 WHERE Name = $Name");
Echo "Your vote has been cast <p>";
}
} 
mysql_close();
?>

http://lawrenceguide.org/recipes/profile.php?Name=Allisons%20Supreme%20Chocolate%20Chip%20Cookies is a test site and i think the issue is mode isnt getting set into the link wonders

Your code provided above only has 46 lines in it. Can you provide the code for the script that's failing?

[dropfaith]

thats it the lines before it are a completly different peice i just added the opening for the php so it would color the script properly

 

line 160 is

 

if ( $mode=="vote")  // line 160

{

 

//If the user has already voted on the particular thing, we do not allow them to vote again $cookie = "Mysite$Id";

if(isset($_COOKIE[$cookie]))

{

Echo "Sorry You have already ranked that site <p>";

}

 

//Otherwise, we set a cooking telling us they have now voted

else

{

$month = 2592000 + time();

setcookie(Mysite.$Id, Voted, $month);

 

//Then we update the voting information by adding 1 to the total votes and adding their vote (1,2,3,etc) to the total rating

mysql_query ("UPDATE RecipeVote SET Total = Total+$voted, Votes = Votes+1 WHERE Name = $Name");

Echo "Your vote has been cast <p>";

}

}

mysql_close();

?>

ok, just had a look at the code again. you have the following line:

 

if ($mode=="vote")

 

on line 25. However, nowhere in the script do you have...

 

$mode=$_GET['MODE'];

 

or the POST equivalent which is where this notification is coming from...
