php5 problem

[phpsycho]

I am setting up php5 on ubuntu 10.10

I can visit pages but they come up with errors

 

Notice: Undefined index: id in /var/www/alphawebpro.com/htdocs/index.php on line 5 Notice: Undefined index: action in /var/www/alphawebpro.com/htdocs/index.php on line 9 Warning: include(/var/www/alphawebpro.com/htdocs/home.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/alphawebpro.com/htdocs/index.php on line 105 Warning: include(): Failed opening 'home.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/alphawebpro.com/htdocs/index.php on line 105 

 

Any idea as to how I fix this?

Please post your code between

that isnt a code... but ill do it anyways if ya say so

[waynew]

These are notices (that you should fix). Basically, you're trying to access an array element via an array index that hasn't been created yet.

 

For example, if the array index 'name' hasn't been set yet and I try to do this:

 

echo $myarray['name'];

 

... I'd also get a nasty notice message.

[kenrbnsn]

We need to see the code that's causing the errors, not just the error messages. That's what I asked you to post.

Well it does it on any file you open, but here is the index file that I gave you the error to..

 

<?php

include ('conn.php');

session_start();



if($_SESSION['id']){

mysql_query("UPDATE users SET status=unix_timestamp() WHERE id='{$_SESSION['suserid']}'");

}



switch($_GET['action']){



case 'tos':

include ('pages/tos.php');

break;



case 'forgotpass':

include ('pages/forgot_pass.php');

break;



case 'forum':

include ('pages/forum.php');

break;



case 'contact':

include ('pages/contact.php');

break;



case 'image':

include ('pages/image.php');

break;



case 'topic':

include ('pages/topic.php');

break;



case 'posttopic':

include ('pages/posttopic.php');

break;



case 'profile':

include ('pages/profile.php');

break;



case 'board':

include ('pages/board.php');

break;



case 'privacy':

include ('pages/privacy.php');

break;



case 'login':

include ('pages/login.php');

break;



case 'logout':

include ('pages/logout.php');

break;



case 'signup':

include ('pages/signup.php');

break;



case 'activate':

include ('pages/activate.php');

break;



case 'browsebooks':

include ('pages/browsebooks.php');

break;



case 'browseimages':

include ('pages/browseimages.php');

break;



case 'browsebbooks':

include ('pages/browsebbooks.php');

break;



case 'browsescripts':

include ('pages/browsescripts.php');

break;



case 'browsebtemplates':

include ('pages/browsebtemplates.php');

break;



case 'usertopics':

include ('pages/browseusertopics.php');

break;





case 'browsetemplates':

include ('pages/browsetemplates.php');

break;



case 'members':

include ('pages/members.php');

break;



case 'product':

include ('product.php');

break;



default: 

include ('home.php');

break;

}



?>

 

I have no idea what to change...

[phpsycho]

I think it has to do with file/folder permission... I changed it all to read and its like this now:

http://alphawebpro.com/

 

 

so now what? 

[kenrbnsn]

Here you have:

<?php
if($_SESSION['id']){
    mysql_query("UPDATE users SET status=unix_timestamp() WHERE id='{$_SESSION['suserid']}'");
}
?>

You should be checking whether $_SESSION['id'] exists before using it. You should also be checking whether $_SESSION['suserid'] exists.

<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['id']) && isset($_SESSION['suserid'])) {
    mysql_query("UPDATE users SET status=unix_timestamp() WHERE id='{$_SESSION['suserid']}'");
}
?>

 

Similar is other areas.

Well here is the story, I had this site on different server and everything was fine. I switched it over to be hosted on my server and now all these errors are coming up. So I am not saying you're wrong, but why would it show these errors now?

[dcro2]

Because you probably had error_reporting at a different level on your other server, or display_errors was off, so these notices and warnings didn't show up. You can take the easy way out and set it the same on your server, but that's just covering up the problem.

[phpsycho]

Well I went ahead and tried shutting error reporting off and still things are wrong... no images are showing and css isn't showing up

 

I changed the if statement also, still errors

[dcro2]

Aside from all the notices, there's this:

Warning: include(includes/rating_functions.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/alphawebpro.com/htdocs/header.php on line 19

Warning: include(): Failed opening 'includes/rating_functions.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/alphawebpro.com/htdocs/header.php on line 19

Check the permissions on your php files, specifically includes/rating_functions.php. There's also a lot more code to change than just the code Ken gave you. That was just an example of what needs to done throughout all your code.

[phpsycho]

I am using ubuntu and I went ahead and did: sudo chmod 777 /var/www/alphawebpro.com/htdocs

 

its still the same errors and images still wont show up.

[dcro2]

What username is your web server running under? If it's www-data try this:

sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/alphawebpro.com/htdocs/
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/alphawebpro.com/htdocs/

[phpsycho]

okay that fixed it. now I am thinking all these errors are all mysql. maybe I did something wrong when installing and setting up mysql?

[dcro2]

Maybe. You'll have to figure that out on your own unless you're willing to give more code and info. All the notices of undefined variables and indexes certainly aren't helping your page display properly though.

[phpsycho]

Yeah I am not sure why those are popping up.. I just shut off error reporting for now. I will go back to it later on to try and fix it.

Later if I am on, would you be willing to help with it?

I will share code so you can see what is going on.

[dcro2]

Sure, just send me a PM.
