danianheron Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I downloaded this script of the net but I can't get it to work for me. the scrip is suppose to output a picture based on the time of day, but nothing happens.

Pikachu2000 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 When posting code, please enclose it within the forum's . . . BBCode tags. That way it remains compact and gets highlighted like below. You've left every one of the curly braces unclosed in all of your if/elseif statements. That should clear up the parse errors, adn then you can see if it produces the result you want. <?php if ($d == 0 && $h >= 8 && $h < 10) { $img = 'images/talent_images/onairkeplersmooth.jpg'; } else if ($d == 0 && $h >= 10 && $h < 12) { $img = 'images/talent_images/onairkepler20.jpg'; } else if ($d == 0 && $h >= 12 && $h < 16) { $img = 'images/talent_images/onairkenny.jpg'; } else if ($d == 0 && $h >= 16 && $h < 21) { $img = 'images/talent_images/onairnorman.jpg'; } else if ($d == 0 && $h >= 21 && $h < 23) { $img = 'images/talent_images/onairpaul.jpg'; } else if ($d == 0 && $h >= 23) { $img = 'images/talent_images/onairmaria.jpg'; } else if ($d == 1 && $h < 0) { $img = 'images/talent_images/onairmaria.jpg'; } You should really be doing development with error_reporting = -1 and display_errors = On in your php.ini file. It would save you a lot of time to have errors like this reported.

danianheron Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 I actually took those brackets off thinking they were the problem. The script didn't work with them in the file, but I will try again. Furthermore, I am not aware of a php.ini file. where would I find that? Forgive my ignorance. Your point about the enclosing my codes is well taken.

Pikachu2000 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 If you create a new script and in it place the following code, it will list the location of the php.ini file that is being used by php. Keep in mind that display_errors should be used when developing, but on a live, production server, you'd want to log them instead. <?php phpinfo(); ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/230980-at-the-end-of-my-rope-please-help-me-on-air-now-script/#findComment-1189235 Share on other sites More sharing options...

danianheron Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'm using dreamweaver to edit. Do you mean that I should do a "live view" within dreamweaver (DW)? When I do that DW tells me that I'm trying to use a serverside script and that I need to set it up. It never works for me them DW just ends up displaying the text of the scrip in the viewing area. That's amazing - it works for you. What in the world am I missing here? Am I calling it correctly from my main page? <?php require ("picture.php"); ?> does there needs to some statement in the <head> of my page? how is the identical file working for you and not for me?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Php is a server-side scripting language. It gets added to a web server so that .php code will be parsed and interpreted on the server when .php pages are requested by the browser. DW has never been very server-side friendly. You either need to install a web server with php on your local development computer (there are all-in-one packages, such as http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html ) or test your code on your 'live' web server.
