[SOLVED] Script Just stopped working, with no errors

elite_prodigy · January 12, 2009

I don't even know what is going on here, but there are several files involved, and I'll post them all here.

Basically, $page->content is not outputting the links to edit each page, and when I type the URL directly that would take me to the page that edits that page, I get a blank screen.

When I echo $page->content from within the file that sets it, it works fine, but when I try to echo it from index.php, it echos nothing.

The only exception here is in editPage.php, if there is more than one record in the database, I get the second record and not the first.

Now, I know the right files are being included and that they are actually retrieving the right information because when I echo directly from the file that sets $page->content, I see exactly what I am supposed to, but at the top of the page.

Thanks everyone, you people are amazing, I have spent the past three days moving this stuff around, trying to fix it, but to no avail. This is my last resort, you guys have saved me in the past, here's hoping it can happen again.

This is the index.php file, somewhere in the body, you will see <?php echo $page->content; ?> that's what's not working.

<?php

include 'php/main.php';

?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" >

<head>
<title>Site Control Pannel</title>
<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="overall.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen>
</head>

<body>
<?php $page->tabs(); ?>

<div class="main">

<div class="nav">
	<br /><br />

	<?php echo $page->nav; ?>

</div>

<div class="divide">



</div>

<div class="disp">
	<br /><br />

	<?php echo $page->content; ?>

</div>

</div>
          
</body>

</html>

This is the classes.php file, which has all of the classes declared inside.

<?php

include 'config.php';

class Page{

function Page(){

	if(isset($_GET['id'])){

		$this->id			= $_GET['id'];

	}
	else{

		$this->id			= 0;

	}

	if(isset($_GET['option'])){

		$this->option		= $_GET['option'];

	}
	else{

		$this->option		= 0;

	}

	//pre-initialize append-only variables
	$this->tab_list		= "";
	$this->options		= "";

}

function tabs(){ //generates the tabs at the top of the box

	$tab_name				= array('Pages',
									'Staff',
									'Profile',
									);

	$tab_loc				= array('index.php?id=0&option=0',
									'index.php?id=1&option=0',
									'index.php?id=2&option=0',
									);

	for($size = 0; $size < count($tab_loc); $size++){

		if($this->id == $size){

			$this->tab_list		.= '<div class="visit_tab_outer">
										<div class="visit_tab_inner">
											<a href="'.$tab_loc[$size].'">'.$tab_name[$size].'</a>
										</div>
									</div>';
			continue;

		}

		$this->tab_list		.= '<div class="tab_outer">
								<div class="tab_inner">
									<a href="'.$tab_loc[$size].'">'.$tab_name[$size].'</a>
								</div>
							</div>';

	}

	echo $this->tab_list;

}

function appendOp($path, $name, $params = ""){ //adds an option to the sidebar of the page

	if(!empty($params)){

		$path				.= "?";

	}

	$this->nav			.= '<a href="'.$path.$params.'">'.$name.'</a>';

}

function setContent($content){ //set the content of the main body of the page

	$this->content		= $content;

}

}

?>

This is the main.php file included in index.php.

<?php

include 'classes.php';

$page			= new Page;

switch($page->id){

case 0:{

	include 'pageOptions.php';

	break;

}

case 1:{

	include 'staffOptions.php';

	break;

}

case 2:{

	include 'profileOptions.php';

	break;

}

}

?>

This is the pageOptions.php file included in main.php

<?php

include 'classes.php';

$page			= new Page;

switch($page->id){

case 0:{

	include 'pageOptions.php';

	break;

}

case 1:{

	include 'staffOptions.php';

	break;

}

case 2:{

	include 'profileOptions.php';

	break;

}

}

?>

This is the editPage.php file included in pageOptions.php

<?php

include 'config.php';

mysql_select_db("exembar_site");

$query 				= "SELECT * FROM `navigation`";

$result 			= mysql_query($query);

$body 				= "";

while($pages = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

$disp 				= $pages['display'];
$id 				= $pages['id'];

$body 				.= '<a href="'.$root.'index.php?id=0&option=1&page='.$id.'">'.$disp.'</a>';

}

$page->setContent($body); //if I could kick this, I would
echo $page->content; //this works, but it echoed above my page, and looks awful

?>

This is frmEditPage.php included in pageOptions.php

<?php

include 'config.php';
mysql_select_db("exembar_site");

$query 			= "SELECT * FROM `navigation` WHERE `id`=".$_GET['page'];
$result 		= mysql_query($query);
$info 			= mysql_fetch_array($result);
$navbar			= $info['display'];

$query 			= "SELECT * FROM `pages` WHERE `navId`=".$_GET['page'];
$result 		= mysql_query($query);
$info 			= mysql_fetch_array($result);
$title 			= $info['title'];

$query 			= "SELECT * FROM `pgContent` WHERE `navId`=".$_GET['page'];
$result 		= mysql_query($query);
$info 			= mysql_fetch_array($result);
$top 			= $info['topBar'];
$content		= $info['content'];

$body 			='

			<form name="create" method="post" action="php/doEditPage.php?id='.$_GET['page'].'">

			</form>

		';

$page->setContent($body);
echo $page->content;

You should be getting errors. Your including the same files multiple times which meens classes are being defined more than once. Turn error reporting to E_ALL and set display errors to on when developing.

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

trq · January 12, 2009

ps: You should really look at using a UNION within a single query instead of running multiple queries like that also. Its terribly inefficient.

elite_prodigy · January 12, 2009

What files are being included more than once?

classes.php is only included in main.php

EDIT: I've added error_reporting(E_ALL); to every single file, and absolutely no error is being reported.

trq · January 12, 2009

Both main.php and pageOptions.php include classes.php. Did you turn error reporting on?

elite_prodigy · January 12, 2009

Okay, I accidentally pasted main.php where pageOptions.php should be.

The REAL pageOptions.php

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$page->appendOp("index.php", "Add a Page", "id=0&option=0");
$page->appendOp("index.php", "Edit a Page", "id=0&option=1");
$page->appendOp("index.php", "Delete a Page", "id=0&option=2");

switch($page->option){

case 0:{

	include 'addPage.php';

	break;

}

case 1:{

	if(isset($_GET['page'])){

		include 'frmEditPage.php';

	}
	else{

		include 'editPage.php';

	}

}

case 2:{

	include 'deletePage.php';

}

}

?>

Is display errors on? Its pretty hard from here to tell what is included where, I'm sure that is where your issue lies.

elite_prodigy · January 12, 2009

I've added error_reporting(E_ALL); to the top of all of the files. Is there some other way to force errors out of PHP that I should know about?

trq · January 12, 2009

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

elite_prodigy · January 12, 2009

I went through and added

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

error_reporting(E_ALL);

to the top of every file, then I went through again and replaced the above with

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

and still no errors.

elite_prodigy · January 12, 2009

Does anyone know why this is happening, and not producing errors?

elite_prodigy · January 12, 2009

I can't believe no one caught this, and I'm not sure at which point I figured it out, nor why I didn't notice it sooner, but I was missing break;s in my pageOptions.php file.

Thanks for all the input though.
