fj1200 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Anyone got any ideas why this just gives me a blank page? Admittedly I took some of it from an example in a book, but the example worked and when I transfered the function to this is fails but I need to verify that they enter numbers ONLY - knowing the people involved on the client end they'll try it on... It may not b the function at all. I've checked all me syntax, semicolons, braketing, etc. All looks fine. All it needs to do is enter a typed in final count, a timestamp and change a status flag in a SQL Server database. It did work fine, but I don't know what stopped it working. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//Ddiv id=\"td\" HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2180" name="GENERATOR"> <head><link rel="stylesheet" href="http://mrserver/css/mr.css" type="text/css" media="screen"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="30;URL=http://mrserver/mr/mr_status.php"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Status v1 - End Job</title> </head> <body> <?php //Validate count to numbers only and max of 6 digits function validateCount($count) { $regexp='/^([0-9]){1,6}$/'; if (eregi($regexp,$count)) return 1; else return 0; } //Check form has been submitted... if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $count=htmlentities($_POST['count']); if(validateCount($count)) // printf("%s ok", $count); //Split POSTed job data into component parts $job_end = explode("+", $_REQUEST[change_status]); //UPDATES Start data after theyhave ended the job $con2 = mssql_connect('dbserver', 'UID', 'PWD'); if (!$con2 || !mssql_select_db('DB', $con2)) { die('**** Unable to connect or select database! ****'); } mssql_query("UPDATE JOB_MR SET STATUS = '2', MR_END = GETDATE(), MR_COUNT = '$count' WHERE ID='$job_end[5]'",$con2)or die; mssql_close($con2); else printf("%s invalid", $count); } ?> <div style="font: 16px Verdana;" id="header">End Running Job</div><br> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST"> <input type="text" id="count" name="count" maxlength="6"> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit Final Count"> </form> </body> </html> As a seperate question - what's the best IDE for PHP? For the last 2 years I've used Notepad++ and I really like it, and am very comfortable with it but I've started using NetBeans and Eclipse - really so I don't get dependant on one system and also to see what else is available. Sadly - it needs to be a freebe as the company won't buy anything like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
