[SOLVED] cant get php to work within my tab?

[runnerjp]

ok i have a tab area set up shown below

 

<ul id="countrytabs" class="shadetabs">
<li><a href="#" rel="#default" class="selected">About me</a></li>
<li><a href="hobbies.php" rel="countrycontainer">Hobbies</a></li>
<li><a href="include/profiletab/external3.htm" rel="countrycontainer">Goals</a></li>
<li><a href="include/profiletab/external4.htm" rel="#iframe">Films and Books</a> </li>
</ul>

<div id="countrydivcontainer" style="border:1px solid gray; width:800px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 10px">
<?php echo $getuserprofile['about_me']?></div>
<script type="text/javascript">

var countries=new ddajaxtabs("countrytabs", "countrydivcontainer")
countries.setpersist(true)
countries.setselectedClassTarget("link") //"link" or "linkparent"
countries.init()

</script>

 

when i look at hobbies.php my php just wont show!  any1 know why?

 

hobbies.php

<?php 
include '../../../settings.php';
include "../../../info.php"; // sets username/id ect

$getuser = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT * from users where Username='$username'"));
$getuserprofile = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT * from profile where ID='" .$getuser['ID'] . "'"));
?> 
  <div align="center">
            <p>About me <?php echo $id;?>           </p>
            <p>
            <textarea onKeyPress="return taLimit(this)" onKeyUp="return taCount(this,'myCounter')" name="Description" rows=7 wrap="physical" cols=60><?php echo $username ?></textarea>
            <br>
            <br>
            You have <B><SPAN id=myCounter>255</SPAN></B> characters remaining</p>
</div>

$id isn't defined, add error_reporting(E_ALL); to the top to see why there is a problem

[runnerjp]

thats intresting and coinfusing

 

ok so i got

 

Notice: Undefined index: id in /home/runningp/public_html/info.php on line 7

 

Notice: Undefined index: pagenum in /home/runningp/public_html/info.php on line 8

 

Notice: Undefined index: forum in /home/runningp/public_html/info.php on line 9

 

Notice: Undefined index: notify in /home/runningp/public_html/info.php on line 10

 

Notice: Undefined index: username in /home/runningp/public_html/info.php on line 12

 

Notice: Undefined index: HTTPS in /home/runningp/public_html/getuser.php on line 11

 

Notice: Undefined index: HTTPS in /home/runningp/public_html/getuser.php on line 11

 

but info.php relys on sessions

 

<?php
/* user sessions */
$username= get_username($_SESSION['user_id']); // gest username of online user
$id = $_SESSION['user_id']; // gets the online users id

/* forum sessions */
$forumpostid=$_GET['id'];// gets the forum post id
$pagenum=$_GET['pagenum'];// gets the page number of the forum  thread
$forum=$_GET['forum']; // gets the forum board name
$notify=$_GET['notify']; // see if users doesnt want any more replys

$profilename=$_GET['username'];// gets the page number of the forum  thread

/* time and date functions */
$thedate=date("U"); //get unix timestamp

/* get user info from profive via $getuserprofile['gender'] or $getuser['Username']*/
$getuser = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT * from users where Username='$profilename'"));
$getuserprofile = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT * from profile where ID='".$getuser['ID']."'"));	
?>

[runnerjp]

even why i just try

<?php error_reporting(E_ALL); 
include '../../../settings.php';
echo get_username($_SESSION['user_id']);
?>

i get blank area within my tab

[DeanWhitehouse]

You should use some if statments for the $_GET vars, or use a ternary (or whatever it is) like

 

$var = (isset($_GET['id']) ? $_GET['id'] : "");

[runnerjp]

the thing is iv never had this problem before... only with this tab function

[DeanWhitehouse]

Try (in the hobbies script) putting print_r($_GET); and see if the correct $_GET vars are there

[runnerjp]

ok this is very wired... i tried making a page called text.php and entering a bit of code to show my id so i did

 

<?php 
require_once 'settings.php'; 
echo $_SESSION['user_id'];
?> 

 

and it shows nothing :S

 

i go to an onld page and enter the code and it shows it???

 

how/why is this happening

[DeanWhitehouse]

You are forgetting session_start();

 

[runnerjp]

ermmm lol thats might have helped... you see i have been using it on all files through a diff file and seems i didnt use the file on this page then sessions did not start lol... i was really puzzeld lol  ty
