bluethundr Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 hey guys, I wrote a simple script that is meant to display a home page that relies on a template file. For some reason this isn't working. I was hoping you could help me determine why home.php does not display. Also I wanted to find out which books you felt were best to learn both PHP and MySQL separately. Ideally I would like to treat both topics as separate endeavors before I try to combine them. Which books helped you be the most successful at understanding both? Here are the scripts home.php <?php require "authentication.inc"; require_once "HTML/Template/ITX.php"; session_start(); // Connect to an authenticated session or relocate to logout.php sessionAuthenticate(); $template = new HTML_Template_ITX("./templates"); $template->loadTemplatefile("home.tpl", true, true); $template->setVariable("USERNAME", $_SESSION["loginUsername"]); $template->parseCurrentBlock(); $template->show(); ?> home.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>Home</title> </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to the application</h1> You are logged on as {USERNAME} <p><a href="password.php">Change Password</a> <p><a href="logout.php">Logout</a> </body> </html> [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Were going to need a better description of the problem than a simple 'isn't working'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethundr Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 when you surf to the page all you see is a white page with nothing on it. no 404. error reporting is turned on in php.ini and there doesn't appear to be any error in the syntax only the program logic. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Place this at the top of the home.php file. <?php error_reporting(E_ALL) ; ini_set('display_errors', 1); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethundr Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Weird. When I pasted in the debugging code the page worked as it should have and forwarded the user to logout page as it should have and everything displayed. No errors were shown. But I am having a new problem with this mini - application I am trying to write. Users cannot login. When they try to they are automatically sent to a page telling them they are not "authorized". But this is a database access problem and I think I will ask that question in the mysql forum. Also I didn't seem to get any response on the "which books to read" question. Did I ask this question in the wrong forum? Is there another forum that I should have asked it in? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
