[SOLVED] .PHP form works on site with 4.4.4 but not with 5.0.5

shaunmacie · April 7, 2007

I have a form that works on an old website that has php version 4.4.4. I need to put the form on a new site that has php version 5.0.5 and the form isn't working there. Is there something that needs to be changed in my code to work with the newer version of php?

Here are the settings for each site:

.PHP 4.4.4 site : http://www.creativetypeco.com/info.php

.PHP 5.0.5 site : http://www.campuscalm.com/info.php

Here is the code of my .php file that works on 4.4.4 but not 5.0.5:

Any suggestions? ???

I could help you out if you would post the errors that the php 5 gave you.

shaunmacie · April 7, 2007

It doesn't give error messages, it just doesn't transfer the info that is entered in the 'vistor' and 'visitormail' fields when submitted.

Here is the page where it does work (processes on the site using 4.4.4): http://www.campuscalm.com/products.html

Here is the page where it does not work (processes on the site using 5.0.5): http://www.campuscalm.com/products2.html

The page that doesn't work doesn't get past the validation because empty files are being checked. If I take off the validation, the form goes through but the fields echo blank.

shaunmacie · April 7, 2007

Also, here is a page using the php 5.0.5 with the validation off.

http://www.campuscalm.com/products3.html

The form goes through, but it doesn't transmit the information I need it to (like the 'visitor' field that is supposed to echo at the top). Also, when the email goes through it is supposed to echo the name and email subject line, which it does not. Both come through empty.

redking · April 7, 2007

Sorry it took me so long the problem is that you have register globals turned on in php 4 and its off in php 5.

Register globals is BAD and should be turned off. The problem is that you have

$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($visitor)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=http://www.campuscalm.com/error.html\">";
  exit;
}

it should be

$validationOK=true;

$visitor = $_POST['visitor']; //<---- here is the change

if (Trim($visitor)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=http://www.campuscalm.com/error.html\">";
  exit;
}

I hope this works

shaunmacie · April 7, 2007

YOU ARE MY HERO OF THE DAY!

Everything is working on the test page (http://www.campuscalm.com/products2.html)

Thanks for the expertise,

Shaun
