error 500

[linardzb]

Hi,

Im having a nightmare (very newbie to PHP) to display a webpge which changes the title dinamically with PHP scripts that Im sure are correct. Instead it gives me ERROR 500. As well as hosting provider is not sure if my directory structure is correct, again Im very positive it is correct, trying to sort this bugger out for ages. I will add a png file for directory overview. Can someone please have alook at this example: http://www.origin-designs.co.uk/

 

1. All goes wrong when I add this script to my _header.php:

 

<?php
$objBusiness = new Business();
$business = $objBusiness->getBusiness();
?>

 

2. This is Business class script:

 

<?php
class Business extends Application {

private $_table = 'business';

public function getBusiness() {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `{$this->_table}`
WHERE `id` = 1";
return $this->db->fetchOne($sql);
}



public function getVatRate() {
$business = $this->getBusiness();
return $business['vat_rate'];
}



public function updateBusiness($vars = null) {
if (!empty($vars)) {
$this->db->prepareUpdate($vars);
return $this->db->update($this->_table, 1);
}
}
}

 

will provide you with further information if needed.

 

Many thanks.

What error is php throwing?

[linardzb]

Thanks for looking in, the problem is that PHP does not throw any error, it is just hosting internal server error.

[linardzb]

I double checked the path to files, and it all seems fine.

A http 500 response code for a php produced page usually means a fatal parse or fatal runtime error. If your code works on your development system, so that we can assume that it doesn't have a fatal parse error, you are likely getting a fatal runtime error.

 

To help debug a runtime error, add the following two lines of code, immediately after your first opening <?php tag, to see what if any php errors are occurring -

 

ini_set("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(-1);

Sorry for dumb question, shall I throw it in index.php or _header.php ? cheers

Thank you PFMaBiSmAd,

 

I tried to run the code you suggested in _header.php and index.php, seems not be working.

I don't see anything that indicates the OP's code works on a development server, it sounds like it does have a fatal parse error, which would cause ini_set to never get processed. Better to change it in the php.ini.

[linardzb]

Thanks Jessica,

 

The one option I could find out was /usr/local/php52/etc/php.ini, but it is not on my server, is it on host? Sorry for dumb question.

[Jessica]

I don't even understand the question.

[linardzb]

This is Directory access code:

 

<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}
// site domain name with http
defined("SITE_URL")
|| define("SITE_URL", "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);

// directory separator
defined("DS")
|| define("DS", DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
// root path
defined("ROOT_PATH")
|| define("ROOT_PATH", realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . DS."..".DS));

// classes folder
defined("CLASSES_DIR")
|| define("CLASSES_DIR", "classes");
// pages directory
defined("PAGES_DIR")
|| define("PAGES_DIR", "pages");
// modules folder
defined("MOD_DIR")
|| define("MOD_DIR", "mod");

// inc folder
defined("INC_DIR")
|| define("INC_DIR", "inc");

// templates folder
defined("TEMPLATE_DIR")
|| define("TEMPLATE_DIR", "template");

// emails path
defined("EMAILS_PATH")
|| define("EMAILS_PATH", ROOT_PATH.DS."emails");

// catalogue images path
defined("CATALOGUE_PATH")
|| define("CATALOGUE_PATH", ROOT_PATH.DS."media".DS."catalogue");

// add all above directories to the include path
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
realpath(ROOT_PATH.DS.CLASSES_DIR),
realpath(ROOT_PATH.DS.PAGES_DIR),
realpath(ROOT_PATH.DS.MOD_DIR),
realpath(ROOT_PATH.DS.INC_DIR),
realpath(ROOT_PATH.DS.TEMPLATE_DIR),
get_include_path()
)));

To Jessica,

 

Right, where do I look for the php.ini file to change it, and how do I debug that parse error?

 

Hope it make sense now

[Jessica]

I would try putting the code on my laptop/desktop/whatever pc and use something like WAMP to set up a localhost to do testing, since it sounds like you're using a shared host.

Thanks Jessica, thats exactly the case,

trying to sort this out for ages,

 

Cheers

Hey,

 

just got my hands on local host, and it seems that the code

<?php
$objBusiness = new Business();
$business = $objBusiness->getBusiness();
?>

 

is working, whereas on on shared hosting still not working, any thoughts?

 

Cheers

[Jessica]

Find what's different between the servers.

[linardzb]

Shared hosting:

 

MySQL Server version: 5.0.92-50-log

WebServer: MySQL client version: 5.1.66

 

which provides Info NOTE: Your PHP MySQL library version 5.1.66 differs from your MySQL server version 5.0.92. This may cause unpredictable behavior.

 

Which I checked, and aparently it needs to updated via:

yum update php

 

Local Server:

 

MySQL

Server version: 5.5.8-log

 

WebServer

• Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) PHP/5.3.5
  
• MySQL client version: mysqlnd 5.0.7-dev - 091210
  

 

Yhank you for the help

Have you checked to see if there is an error log on your system? Perhaps check with your hosting provider?
