Testimonials Module with XML & PHP

smtamburrino · August 31, 2011

Good Morning & Thanks in advance!

I recently purchased a Testimonials Module with XML & PHP. It appears that my permissions are OK but the script does not write to the XML file. Here is a link to the current script w/ example I bought:

http://activeden.net/item/testimonials-module-with-xml-php/144275

Here is a link to my website & script not working: http://www.thehotsounds.com/test.html

I've called my server (GoDaddy & my permissions seem to be fine the xml & PHP file are (777) Could it be the difference of running PHP4 instead of PHP5?

Here is the PHP script:

<?php
/**
*/
class Testimonials{
private $file;
private $input;
private $output;
public function __construct($inputFile){
	$this->file = $inputFile;
} 
public function add($inputData){
	$this->input = fopen($this->file,'r');
	if(!$this->input){
		throw new Exception('Can not open input file.');
	}
	$currentFolder = dirname($this->file);
	$tempName = $currentFolder . 'temp.xml';
	$outputFile =$currentFolder.'/output.xml';
	$this->output = fopen($outputFile,'w');
	if(!$this->output){
		throw new Exception('Can not open output file.');
	}
	#skip first line
	$firstLine = fgets($this->input);
	fputs($this->output,$firstLine);
	fputs($this->output,$inputData);
	$line = fgets($this->input);
	while (!feof($this->input)){
		fputs($this->output,$line);
		$line = fgets($this->input);
	}
	fputs($this->output,$line);
	fclose($this->input);
	fclose($this->output);
	rename($outputFile,$this->file);
	echo "success=yes";
}
}

$name= $_POST["Name"]; 
$location= $_POST["Location"]; 
$age= $_POST["Age"]; 
$date= $_POST["Date"];
$full= $_POST["Full"];
$message='<message>'."\n".' <name>'.$name.'</name>'."\n".' <location>'.$location.'</location>'."\n".' <age>'.$age.'</age>'."\n".' <date>'.$date.'</date>'."\n".' <full>'.$full.'</full>'."\n".'</message>'."\n";  
$test = new testimonials('./testimonials.xml');
$test->add($message);
?>

Here is the XML code

	<full>Thanks for some great software at a reasonable price. It's HARD to find software tailored to the small vacation rental business. We manage 11 homes, and can't afford the expensive and overbloated (for us) software that's out there. This works great!</full>

	<full>Not only is it one of the few sauces carried by my favorite Health Food stores, it definintely tastes far better than any of the dozens of brands carried in our local supermarkets. It seems lighter, more flavorful, and not heavy with sodium and other additives. You can definitely taste the difference! Many thanks for a great product!</full>

Everything worked well and the professionalism shown by you and your staff really helped us enjoy the event tremendously. Our guests made lots of comments about the food and in particular the friendly attentive service. Your willingness to cater for the special needs of some of the guest was most appreciated</full>

	<full>Can I find another excuse for eating there? This is the question I always ask. Since my first visit there, I've been impressed by the ambience of the place and the quality of the food. Under the guidance of my friends, it has the feel of a home to which you have been invited. The personally focussed service complements the fresh, regularly updated mix of the best of fresh chinese products cooked in a clean sharp manner that makes this the best restaurant.</full>

1) In the future, please place

OR

tags around your code.

2) That's a lot of code...

- What did you to try and isolate the problem? To be honest, not many people are going to go through all the code.

Show us the add() function for the testimonials class. It looks like that's where the actual writing to the XML file starts.

Sorry bout that Maq!

I'm new to phpfreaks & still quite green w/ php. I attached the whole script because I was not sure where to start w/ the problem. here is the PHP again. Do you think the version I'm running would make a difference?

PHP4 or PHP5?

 <?php
/**

class Testimonials{
private $file;
private $input;
private $output;
public function __construct($inputFile){
	$this->file = $inputFile;
} 
public function add($inputData){
	$this->input = fopen($this->file,'r');
	if(!$this->input){
		throw new Exception('Can not open input file.');
	}
	$currentFolder = dirname($this->file);
	$tempName = $currentFolder . 'temp.xml';
	$outputFile =$currentFolder.'/output.xml';
	$this->output = fopen($outputFile,'w');
	if(!$this->output){
		throw new Exception('Can not open output file.');
	}
	#skip first line
	$firstLine = fgets($this->input);
	fputs($this->output,$firstLine);
	fputs($this->output,$inputData);

	while (!feof($this->input)){

	}
	fputs($this->output,$line);
	fclose($this->input);
	fclose($this->output);
	rename($outputFile,$this->file);
	echo "success=yes";
}
}

OK thanks again Maq for the etiquette tips & advice.

I resolved my issue by updating to PHP5.2 on GoDaddy server. I had to rename the php.ini file as well to php5.ini

All is working WOOT!
