[SOLVED] Help please

[Archadian]

can anyone see why its making the index.php show up white in IE?

 

if (isset($_COOKIE['user']) {

include('include/dbcon.inc');	

$uname = $_COOKIE['user'];

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT uname FROM users WHERE uname = '$uname'") or die("Could not get the username from the DB.");
$name = mysql_fetch_array($sql);

echo "<table class=\"login\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"35\">";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"50%\" height=\"35\">Welcome " . ucfirst($name) . "! </td>";
echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"50%\" height=\"35\"><a href=\"" $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?action=logout\">Logout</a></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";

}
else {

echo "<table class=\"login\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"35\">";
echo "<form action=\"" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "\" method=\"POST\">";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"25%\" height=\"35\">Username:  </td>";
echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"25%\" height=\"35\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"uname\" size=\"10\"></td>";
echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"25%\" height=\"35\">Password:  </td>";
echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"25%\" height=\"35\"><input type=\"password\" name=\"pass\" size=\"10\"></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</form>";
echo "</table>";

}

 

I've stared at this for 20 minutes and can't find it...Thanks

[mmarif4u]

if (isset($_COOKIE['user'])) {

[Archadian]

please read my post before what you posted...

[Greaser9780]

echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"50%\" height=\"35\">Welcome " . ucfirst($name) . "! </td>";

 

echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"50%\" height=\"35\">Welcome " . $name['ucfirst'] . "! </td>";

[Archadian]

ucfirst() is a function that capitalizes the first letter of the string. ucfirst($name) is correct...thanks tho

[Greaser9780]

Is that the whole code? I don't see any <?php and ?> tags at beginning and end.

[Archadian]

yeah there are <?php ?> tags, this part of the code is stopping the code and giving me a white page in IE, when i /* */ the code the rest of the page works

[Greaser9780]

Did U run it in firefox? You can error check with that browser.

[Archadian]

no i don't have firefox lol, i tried splitting the code up and both parts of the code make it stop working

[warewolfe]

From the script, you've missed the end brace on the first line.

  You've also got missing concatenations in line 10. I'd advice you look at the error logs. Also you'd save yourself a lot of work if you work more within the html rather than have the php generate the html.

 

Don't echo the whole line, just insert <td> <?php ucfirst($name); ?> </td>

[Archadian]

concatenations? >.> Im not seeing it lol. No offense i asked for help to find why this is stopping my script from running...the way i code i have my own reason for Its driving me crazy...i've been through the code for the past few hours and still can't figure it out

[warewolfe]

change line 10 to

 

  echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"50%\" height=\"35\"><a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ."?action=logout\">Logout</a></td>";

[Archadian]

yes i was missing the ., can't believe i missed that i looked at that over and over lol

 

here is the code now:

 

if (isset($_COOKIE['user'])) {

include('include/dbcon.inc');

if (isset($_COOKIE['user'])) {	

$uname = $_COOKIE['user'];

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT uname FROM users WHERE uname = '$uname'") or die("Could not get the username from the DB.");
$name = mysql_fetch_array($sql);

echo "<table class=\"logform\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"35\">";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"50%\" height=\"35\">Welcome " . ucfirst($name) . "! </td>";
echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"50%\" height=\"35\"><a href=\"" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?action=logout\">Logout</a></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";

}

else {

echo "<table class=\"logform\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"35\">";
echo "<form action=\"" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "\" method=\"POST\">";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"25%\" height=\"35\">Username:  </td>";
echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"25%\" height=\"35\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"uname\" size=\"10\"></td>";
echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"25%\" height=\"35\">Password:  </td>";
echo "<td align=\"left\" width=\"25%\" height=\"35\"><input type=\"password\" name=\"pass\" size=\"10\"></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</form>";
echo "</table>";

}

 

its still stopping the script

[Archadian]
