Link HTML to PHP Process

[MrBloop]

Hi Everyone!

I could not find if this topic has been covered before, but I have written a php project in Eclipse and it runs wonderfully in Eclipse, so I have exported the files. I now worked on my HTM frontend in Deamweaver but saved it as PHP for ease of use and have linked a image to the PHP file that will perform my search function but all that comes up in the browser as the PHP code. I presume that eclipse perhaps emulates a local server? and is that why the process wont run? I am not collecting any input from the user or using POST or GET, because the PHP Class just searches all IP ports Displays them. Please Help!!

I thank you in advanced for any help....

You will need a server with php installed and configured.

[MrBloop]

Okay, but is there no way that I can test it on a localhost that has MYSQL and PHP? I have XAMMP and Wampserver can these not allow me to test them?

[trq]

Um, that is what Xampp and Wampserver are. Pre-packaged setups of the Apache http server. You hinted in your initial post that you didn't actually have a server installed.

 

So what exactly IS your problem / question?

[MrBloop]

 

Hey there, thanks for your help and urgent replies so far...

 

Okay I have a script that searches what IP'S are on a server, written in PHP of course, now I created a PHP File in Dreamweaver (Interface) that has a specific button linking to the PHP class/function. I have tested the script on Eclipse and it works there fine...

 

I want to know do I have to have a Database to run this script?

I have only ever used PHPMYADMIN to create sql databses for Joomla and Drupal CMS sites, but I really do not know how to run anything else through my localhost besides a cms...

 

So if I need a database and I create it in PHPMYADMIN how do I run this simple script?

[trq]

How should we know? You haven't described what the script actually does, but if it works in eclipse without a database, it most likely doesn't need one. Do you know if it does need one?

[MrBloop]

This is the script: I got it from the internet somewhere and wanted to use it on the school server that I manage, but I just needed to create a nice looking front-end which I did in deamweaver...I just linked a button from my dreamweaver to the PHP file that has this function in it... ALL I WANT IT TO DO IS JUST RUN IT FUNCTION...when it people click on the button and it calls this PHP file what you see below is excatly what I get in the browser....

 

host=$host; } // get IP address public function getIp(){ if(!$ip=gethostbyname($this->host)){ throw new Exception('Error resolving host IP address.'); } return $ip; } // get list of IP addresses public function getIpList(){ if(!$ips=implode(' - ',gethostbynamel($this->host))){ throw new Exception('Error getting list of IP addresses for the provided hostname.'); } return $ips; } // get host name public function getHost(){ if(!$host=gethostbyaddr($this->getIp())){ throw new Exception('Error resolving host name.'); } return $host; } // get TCP ports of Internet services public function getServicePorts(){ $output='Retrieving services ports...Please wait.

'; foreach($this->services as $service){ if(!$port=getservbyname($service,'tcp')){ $output.='Error retrieving port of service '.$service.'

'; } else{ $output.='Service '.$service. ' runs on TCP port :'. $port.'

'; } } return $output; } // get Services by TCP ports public function getServiceNames(){ $output='Retrieving services names...Please wait.

'; foreach($this->ports as $port){ if(!$service=getservbyport($port,'tcp')){ $output.='Error retrieving service name on port '.$port.'

'; } else{ $output.='TCP Port '.$port. ' is used by service :'. $service.'

'; } } return $output; } } try{ // instantiate 'QueryProcessor' object $queryProc=new QueryProcessor('hotmail.com'); // display host IP address //echo $queryProc->getIp(); // displays 64.4.32.7 // display host name //echo $queryProc->getHost(); // displays 'hotmail.com.br' // display IP list //echo $queryProc->getIpList(); // displays 64.4.32.7 - 64.4.33.7 // display services ports echo $queryProc->getServicePorts(); /* displays the following list Retrieving services ports...Please wait.

But when I run it in eclipse this is what I get and this is what I want to see in the browser...

I HOPE THIS INFO HELPS

Sorry, but that code is completely unreadable.

Please put your code between PHP tags [/code] so we can read it properly. Also, what happened to all the linebreaks?

 

From glancing at it, I don't see any references to a database, so I don't think that could be your problem. Obviously if you actually see the PHP code rather than it's output in the browser, it means that PHP isn't parsing the code. Rather, Apache is sending it directly to the client as plain text. If you are running this on your local computer and access it thru http://localhost/scriptname.php you'll need to verify that PHP is started and running, and that Apache's configuration is set up to send requests for .php files to the PHP Hypertext Preprocessor. If the site is hosted remotely, then you'll have to contact your host and tell them that PHP isn't working properly.
