bluethundr Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 hey guys I have a php script that won't render in firefox. I am using the local apache install on my mac with mysql locally installed. I have error_reporting E_ALL set in my php.ini file. Other scripts that live in the proper apache directory either just work or E_ALL displays the error. I am working with the platypus book from O'Reilly. The script is trying to use templates to populate an html page. I have a templates directory just below the web root on my mac where I put the example.7-3.tpl file. here's the code example.7-2.tpl <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Customer Details</title> <body> <table> <tr><th>Name<th>Address<th>City<th>State<th>Zipcode <!-- BEGIN CUSTOMER --> <tr><td>{FIRSTNAME} {SURNAME}<td>{ADDRESS} <td>{CITY}<td>{STATE}<td>{ZIPCODE} <!-- END CUSTOMER --> </table> </body> </html> And this is the actual code I am trying to get to work. example.7-3.php <?php require_once "/usr/lib/php/HTML/Template/IT.php"; include "db.inc"; // Connect to the MySQL server if (!connection = @ mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password))) die("Cannot connect"); if (!(mysql_select_db($databseName, $connection))) showerror(); // Run the query on the connection if (!($result = @ mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM customer LIMIT 50", $connection))) showerror(); // Create a new template, and specify that template files are // in the subdirectory "templates" $template = new HTML_Template_IT("./templates"); // Load the customer template file $template->loadTempltefile("example.7-2.tpl", true, true); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // Work with the customer block $template->setCurrentBlock("CUSTOMER"); // Assign the row data to the template placeholders $template->setVariable("FIRSTNAME", $row["firstname"]); $template->setVariable("SURNAME", $row["surname"]); $template->setVariable("ADDRESSS", $row["address"]); $template->setVariable("CITY", $row["city"]); $template->setVariable("STATE", $row["state"]); $template->setVariable("ZIPCODE", $row["zipcode"]); // Parse the current block $template->parseCurrentBlock(); } // Output the webpage $template->show(); ?> Thanks!!!

trq Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Considering that /usr/lib/php/HTML/Template/IT.php is not a standard part of php we can't really help much. Where did you get this template engine from? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/181205-php-script-not-rendering/#findComment-955974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeytooth Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Whats the page doing exactly.. what type of Apache install do you have, note a standard Apache install does not come with php built in, though there are some that do like apache2triad (best one in opinion, not sure if they have a mac release though.).. anyway that also said is the server running? Not to familiar with a mac setup and Apache, but.. especially if your not familiar with running an apache server or its your first time.. the server don't always start pain in the ass to configure sometimes... On the flip side of that, if you know what your doing with apache then, whats the page do when you goto the script?

monkeytooth Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Well depending on your conf file for apache.. /usr/lib/php/HTML/Template/IT.php This is a bit sticky.. depending on your apache conf settings.. depending on what that book is telling you. Are you tempting to edit a pre-made script or going by the book following the script in there? Or I dunno there's a lot of ifs to this scenario unfortunately. If that is the book method.. then i would say try something like trimming down the directories one by one til one works.. and see if that works /usr/lib/php/HTML/Template/IT.php /lib/php/HTML/Template/IT.php /php/HTML/Template/IT.php /HTML/Template/IT.php /Template/IT.php IT.php Unfortunately as i said to many x factors, im not familiar with the book your reading.. so I couldnt evn take a look at the section your looking at. bottom line is from what I have learned from books is that sometimes they are wrong, they teach in the most steril methods possible, fresh installs OS and Server, and what not.. so unfortunately even with that not ever system is alike. I hate to say it like this but I think your in for a lot of toying around to make it work, trial and error style. I wish I could have been more help for you Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/181205-php-script-not-rendering/#findComment-955980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
