IE cannot display the web page

[arcticfox]

Hi,

 

I currently have a form which sends data to a php page, this page is meant to upload a file to my server and then add some data to a sql database and finally redirect the user to an appropriate page.

 

This code works perfectly in Firefox, however if I use it in IE the page is not redirected and i get the IE error page:

Cannot display the web page.

 

Here is the code for the php page with the issue:

 

<?php session_start();

if(!session_is_registered("myusername")){

header("location:login.php");

} ?>

 

<?php

 

// Check Type

 

if ($_POST['type'] == "News" || $_POST['type'] == "Main"){

 

$host= // Host name

$username= // Mysql username

$password= // Mysql password

$db_name= // Database name

 

// Connect to server and select databse.

$connection = mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");

mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

 

// data sent from form

$title=$_POST['title'];

$type=$_POST['type'];

$link=$_POST['link'];

$summary=$_POST['summary'];

$body=$_POST['body'];

 

// To protect MySQL injection

$title = stripslashes($title);

$type = stripslashes($type);

$link = stripslashes($link);

$summary = stripslashes($summary);

$body = stripslashes($body);

 

$title = mysql_real_escape_string($title);

$type = mysql_real_escape_string($type);

$link = mysql_real_escape_string($link);

$summary = mysql_real_escape_string($summary);

$body = mysql_real_escape_string($body);

 

 

// Test for null values

if($title == "" || $summary == "" || $body == "" ){

mysql_close($connection);

header("location:{$type}type.php?error=2");

exit;

}

 

else{

 

$sql="insert into tblContent (title, summary, body, type, DateStamp, link) values ('$title', '$summary', '$body', '$type', NOW(), '$link')";

$result=mysql_query($sql);

 

// Success = 1

if($result==1){

mysql_close($connection);

header("location:content.php");

exit;

}

else {

mysql_close($connection);

header("location:{$type}type.php?error=1");

exit;

}}

 

} // END TYPE SET

 

 

// Banner Type Set

else if($_POST['type'] == "Banner"){

 

// Where the file is going to be placed

$target_path = "uploads/";

 

/* Add the original filename to our target path. Result is "uploads/filename.extension" */

 

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

 

$target_path = "uploads/";

 

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {

 

        $host= // Host name

$username= // Mysql username

$password= // Mysql password

$db_name= // Database name

 

// Connect to server and select databse.

$connection = mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");

mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

 

// data sent from form

$title=$_POST['title'];

$type=$_POST['type'];

$link=$_POST['link'];

 

// To protect MySQL injection

$title = stripslashes($title);

$type = stripslashes($type);

$link = stripslashes($link);

 

$title = mysql_real_escape_string($title);

$type = mysql_real_escape_string($type);

$link = mysql_real_escape_string($link);

 

// Test for null values

if($title == "" || $type == "" || $link == "" ){

mysql_close($connection);

header("location:bannertype.php?error=2");

exit;

}

 

else{

 

$sql="insert into tblContent (title, type, DateStamp, link, filename) values ('$title', '$type', NOW(), '$link', '".basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'])."')";

$result=mysql_query($sql);

 

// Success = 1

if($result==1){

mysql_close($connection);

header("location:content.php");

exit;

}

 

else {

mysql_close($connection);

header("location:bannertype.php?error=1");

exit;

}

 

}

 

 

} // END UPLOAD IF

 

// Error for file failure

else{ header("location:bannertype.php?error=3");

  exit;}

 

} // END TYPE SET

 

else{ echo "Error: No Type Was Defined!"; }

?>

 

The problem is definatly only with the Banner part of the code as the first section works fine.

 

I have a feeling its to do with the Header () command but have been unable to find any information that has helped me to solve this issue.

 

I would be greatful if anyone could point out the problem with my code.

 

Thankyou in Advance

} ?>

<?php

 

That will cause an issue with header tags, as there is a space there that is considered a "white space" and constitute output being sent to the browser. There is also no need for that so just remove the php tags from there and see if that solves the problem.

 

Also please use

instead of the quote tags to surround code.

Check the url in the header() function that you are redirecting to by printing it. It maybe malformed. Firefox maybe able to reconstruct it correctly. I'm guessing IE is throwing a 404.

[mrMarcus]

try using full URL's, ie.

header("Location: http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/file/if/applicable/bannertype.php?error=3");

instead of just bannertype.php?error=3

 

and so on for each header() function.

 

just a thought.

 

EDIT:

also, what do the URL's look like out of the address bar in IE vs. Firefox .. are they the same or different?

Hi,

 

Thanks for the fast reply.

 

I removed the

?><?php

part of the code and unfortunatly it still wont work, It's also worth mentoning that all the commands are executed (it uploads the file and updates my database) and if I removed the header code on certain bits I get the white screen instead of the error page.

 

Any further advice would be appreciated

 

Sorry for not using the code tags, I was in a bit of a rush.

 

Thanks

did some minor cleanup on the script. Didn't see too much wrong (except the <?php ?> thing)

Thanks for the response and help guys, I think i've narrowed it down a bit.

 

If I remove the following code from the page holding the form all the header code works in IE and FF but my files are not uploaded.

 

enctype="multipart/form-data"

 

Heres the form code I use:

 

<?php session_start();
if(!session_is_registered("myusername")){
header("location:login.php");
} ?>
