print code on page view

[PlagueInfected]

im trying to code something to where if you view a page, the script either dies or prints something until you leave the page.

 

I planned to do this with my css page in php code

 

i tried this code here, however  even when i left the page it still didn't do anything.

 

<?php 
$csspage = '/css/v5.php';
$currentpage = '$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

if ($csspage == $currentpage) {
die('this page is encrypted!');
}
else {
header('content-type: text/css');

echo 'CSS CODE';

}

?>

Do you have error reporting turned on? You are missing one single quote in the end of the echo.

[PlagueInfected]

ya i do, and the apostrophe is there when i edit the post

[richrock]

not sure if this'll fix it but...

 

echo 'CSS CODE;

 

should be:

 

echo 'CSS CODE';

 

(extra ' missing)... and $currentpage = '$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; has an extra ' - should be $currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

 

You may want to echo out the REQUEST_URI to see if it's reading the same file or not...

done that and it's reading it, however still disables even away from the page and not viewing it

What richrock mention is the same as I did. But now I am not following you.. please elaborate your problem?

[PlagueInfected]

basically put...

 

when i put my code in my page, the script will work but when im not viewing or on the page, the script still executes.

 

pretty much, im trying to get the script to ONLY work if you're on the page (viewing it)

[TeNDoLLA]

How do you know the script still executes if you are not on that page anymore? The script execution ends when the page is loaded. If you after that leave the page the script can not be executing anymore.

because im using it on a css based php page. i know it works no more because my css is gone when im visiting the main pages

[richrock]

is it part of a require() or an include() for the page?  EG :

require('/css/v5.php');

 

what calls the css in the first place?

[PlagueInfected]

the coding is like this

 

<?php

$page = '/css/v5.php';
$currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

if ($page == $currentpage) {
   print('this page is encrypted');
}

else {
//calls the css
header('content-type: text/css');
echo ' PHP CODE ';

}
?>

What is css based php page? PHP has nothing to do with CSS and vice versa. I don't get this.

[PlagueInfected]

im coding it to where you view the css page you get a message instead of the code.

 

i did it but unfortunately it still executes when not viewing the page, i know that because when i use the scripting on it, the whole site loses it's CSS

[richrock]

Are you trying to prevent access to the CSS?  That's the impression I got when you wrote:

im coding it to where you view the css page you get a message instead of the code.

[PlagueInfected]

yup pretty much

[TeNDoLLA]

You can't prevent people seeing the CSS you want to use on your pages. If the CSS is used in the page, it is also then viewable in a way or another.

[PlagueInfected]

god dang, and i saw it used by someone too but he took it off.

[richrock]

You can put css into a php file and prevent direct access, but determined people with tools like WebDev toolbar or Firebug will still be able to read outputted CSS.

 

<?php
header("Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8"); ?>
<!-- insert CSS stuff here -->
<!-- save as css_filename_css.php and include in the source PHP files using include().  -->

 

This means there is no attached CSS file, but it's really more hassle than it's worth.  There's nothing worth preventing seeing in a CSS file anyhoo.

 

Use this linky to prevent direct access to files - http://www.namepros.com/programming/408685-php-prevent-direct-url-typing.html

how do you think i should code this?

 

and do i echo the css or just code it in with no echo?

 

would it be like this...

 

<?php 
my if on page statement ?>

<?php header('content-type: text/css; charset: utf-8');
CSS CODE BELOW (no echo) ?>

[richrock]

<?php
// Original page file eg index.php
  define('IS_IN_SCRIPT',1);// define a flag for the CSS bit

  include('/sourcetocss.phpfile');

// Rest of the page
?>

 

Then... create the site_css.php file -

 

<?php 
  // CSS file in PHP format
  if (!defined('IS_IN_SCRIPT')) {
  // if our flag is not defined, user is accessing our file directly
  die('I am sorry, you can not access this file directly.');
  exit;
  }
  // else, continue the page
  header("Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8");

?>
/* CSS code below */
body {
  font-family:Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size:11px;
}

Bit stumped myself, it should render the CSS due to the header function.....

[PlagueInfected]
