A Href Link Not Resolving

stickyladder · November 21, 2012

Hello, I'm new to coding. I just moved my php site to another server (linux). Now some of my links work and others don't. Please see sample of short file below. Please help, I'm desperate.

Note: on below code, the first link does not work, but the other two do. I can find no difference. The first one universityreport.php resolves to a blank page.

Doesn't work in what manner? You receive a Page Not Found error? Please expand. Does universityreport.php exist on the server? Are you now receiving PHP errors? If so, post them.

stickyladder · November 21, 2012

Please note that all of the three files above are in the same directory......

stickyladder · November 21, 2012

When you click on the link, the url changes to this [http://www.stickyladder.net/login.php?next=dW5pdmVyc2l0eXJlcG9ydC5waHA=] and the results are a blank page. All of the 3 files are in the root directory (httpdocs) on the server. I receive no php errors except the blank page.

mrMarcus · November 21, 2012

Have you checked your error_log's? Do you have error_reporting on? There may be an issue with your code in that file since the move to a new server. Did the PHP version also change?

mrMarcus · November 21, 2012

Just by checking the source code of the link you provided, your script cuts short immediately following </head>. So, it is likely that your PHP code it tripping up there.

stickyladder · November 21, 2012

My php version has changed (upgraded), but the logic is not clear. Why would two of the links work and not the other? If the script cuts short, wouldn't it affect all three of the hyper links?

Pikachu2000 · November 21, 2012

All of the links, in actuality, work. They are all result in a document being requested by the browser, and they all then generate output. The problem is the output terminates early in the one that you perceive as not working. The problem is not with the link per se, but with the script being requested.

PFMaBiSmAd · November 21, 2012

The link you posted is to the login page. That implies that your universityreport.php page expects the visitor to be logged in and redirects to the login page when they are not.

Since the login.php page stops producing the html document before it outputs any visible content, your first step would be to troubleshoot why the code in login.php isn't doing anything after that point. The only way we could possibly help you do that would be if you post all the code for loigin.php (less any database connection details.)

ok, this is becoming a bit more clear.. following please see code for login page..

post code using code tags please

ok, this is becoming a bit more clear.. following please see code for login page..

I'm glad it is for somebody ::)

Unless the issue is something that pops right out, this could be an all-day guessing game.

You need to ensure error_reporting is on and errors are being logged. That way, we've got something to work with.

PFMaBiSmAd · November 21, 2012

Is there some reason you didn't post the first part of your login.php code?

stickyladder · November 21, 2012

i posted the entire file. Maybe I made a mistake. I will double check.

mrMarcus · November 21, 2012

Seriously, man. Just check your error logs (or enable error logging if not already enabled). Could be something as simple as a syntax error in includes/application_top.php, but we've never know it.

PFMaBiSmAd · November 21, 2012

The reason I asked about the start of your file not being posted is because nothing you have posted contains the html that we have been mentioning that IS being output on that page.

Unfortunately, your code is trying to paste together the page by using php include/require statements. So, we still don't know exactly at what point your code is doing what you expect and at what point it is not.

So far, mrMarcus has suggested/asked that you set php's error_reporting to E_ALL and either set display_errors to ON or set log_errors to ON. The sooner you do this, the sooner the problem will get found.
