[SOLVED] keeps going back to index.html ???????

supergrame · October 28, 2009

ok so i started making my site using mostly.html files now i have added a fair chunk of php. My index,html file had to be renamed to index.php because i am using a include function, I got told that if there is any php in any file it has to be named .php so the web server knows that there is php in there.

my problem is when i renamed index to .php it wont show up in ie or FF it just reverts back to index.html every time when i would of thought it would of just said file not found or gone to the folder content. So here I am realy confused!?!?!?

Please any advise would be brilliant.

THE ERROR

Not Found

The requested URL /index.html was not found on this server.

this is what i put in the URL:

http://127.0.0.1/index.php

http://localhost/index.php

very odd

supergrame · October 28, 2009

maybe is could be a file association issue. Just giving some ideas

supergrame · October 28, 2009

would it have anything to do with this

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

in index.php ?

First: Just calm down and do not post one after another without getting any replies.

Second, Are you trying local on your own computer? Or It is upload to some server somewhere?

If you are trying on a server, There's a file named '.htaccess' there. Paste that file content here.

supergrame · October 28, 2009

ok sorry...

Yes it is local on my PC. and yes php is working.

asmith · October 28, 2009

ok,

There are ways to fix that. If your apache is redirecting index.php to index.html, Then you probably have this on httpd.conf file. I gotta see your apache httpd.conf file, I don't remember where it is exactly.

However, You can tell your php to look for php codes in the HTML files (or any other extension) also.

To do this, Find your apache httpd.conf file and find this line:

AddType application/x-httpd-php

This line probably looks something like this at your pc:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5

You can add any extension you want, In this case:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

after changing that, save the file and restart apache. Now apache interpret your php codes in HTML also.

ok after alot of reinstalling and messing around with wamp server. It was nothing to do with it. it was this one line of code im my index.php file

<?php include("login.php"); ?>

I dont understand

asmith · October 28, 2009

That line is making index.php to index.html?

If so, Paste the content of that file here.

supergrame · October 28, 2009

yes that is correct here is the index.php file content

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

if i remove the one PHP line it works with the .php ext

supergrame · October 28, 2009

I know you said don't keep posting but i think this is valuable info to save some time.

in dreamweaver i click inside this line of code

<div id="sidebar" class="border">

and at the bottom of dreamweaver this is the error..

Invalid markup

marked invalid because its an overlapping or unclosed tag if the display looks correct it is safe to delete these tags

ok so i get rid of this <?php and just use <? and it works but it does not include login.php

very frustrating

dgoosens · October 28, 2009

That line is making index.php to index.html?

If so, Paste the content of that file here.

probably meant your login.php file

asmith · October 28, 2009

Yes , Please paste the login.php content here mate.

supergrame · October 28, 2009

here is login.php aswell

<?php
include("dbconnect.php");

$username=$_POST['username'];
$password=$_POST['password']; 


if (!isset($username) || !isset($password)) {
header("Location:index.html");
}


elseif (empty($username) || empty($password)) {
header("Location:index.html");
}
else{
$result=mysql_query("select * from members where username='$username' AND password='$password'");


$rowCheck = mysql_num_rows($result);
if($rowCheck > 0){
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){


session_start();


$_SESSION['username'] = "$username";


echo 'Success!';


header("Location:members/membersIndex.php");

}

}
else {


echo 'Incorrect login name or password. Please try again.';
  }
  }
?>


<html>
<form class="login" action="login.php" method="POST">
Please login below!<br />
    <label>User name:</label>
    <input type="text" name="username"/>
    <label>Password:</label>
    <input type="password" name="password" />
<input type="submit" value="Login"/><br />
Not a member? <a href="register.html">Register</a><br /> Forgot your password click 
    <a href="forgotPassword.html">HERE!</a>
</form>

</html>

asmith · October 28, 2009

Do you see these lines:

header("Location:index.html");

in this file?

rename all of these lines to:

header("Location:index.php");

supergrame · October 28, 2009

Ahh yes. How stupid of me sorry for the time wasting

Been working on this for over 10 hours starting to get tired.

ok well that did work but now for the new error lol

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept

cookies.

taking a stab im guessing its my sessions code? I was using the old sessions but my browsers keeps saying its old code don't use it

supergrame · October 28, 2009

again sorry for the double posting

I think it is because there is php and html in that page and for some reason it keeps redirecting it over and over and over. I will take another look in the morning.

your help is much appreciated

asmith · October 28, 2009

Delete ALL the data in the login.php, And put this one instead to solve your issue:

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
include("dbconnect.php");

$username=$_POST['username'];
$password=$_POST['password']; 


if (!isset($username) || !isset($password)) {
header("Location:index.php");
}


elseif (empty($username) || empty($password)) {
header("Location:index.php");
}
else{
$result=mysql_query("select * from members where username='$username' AND password='$password'");


$rowCheck = mysql_num_rows($result);
if($rowCheck > 0){
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){


session_start();


$_SESSION['username'] = "$username";


echo 'Success!';


header("Location:members/membersIndex.php");

}

}
else {


echo 'Incorrect login name or password. Please try again.';
  }
  }
}
?>


<html>
<form class="login" action="login.php" method="POST">
   Please login below!<br />
    <label>User name:</label>
    <input type="text" name="username"/>
    <label>Password:</label>
    <input type="password" name="password" />
   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login"/><br />
   Not a member? <a href="register.html">Register</a><br /> Forgot your password click
    <a href="forgotPassword.html">HERE!</a>
</form>

</html>

when dealing with databases, make sure to sanitize your incoming vars:

$username = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST['username']);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST['password']);

also, lose the double-quotes around $username:

$_SESSION['username'] = "$username";

should be:

$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
