[SOLVED] Something Wierd

Kryllster · May 16, 2007

I just switched servers, Im running xp with e>novative>wamp whereas before I was running another wamp. Well the problem is I can create the database and create the character info in that db but when I log in apparently the session isnt starting or something cause now the info I want displayed isn't showing up like it did in WAMP5. Im using InnoDB but was wondering if that had anything to do with it???

Thanks In advance,

radar · May 16, 2007

Are you getting any errors, and do you actually have session_start(); at the beginning of your code before you attempt to set your sessions?

Kryllster · May 16, 2007

session_start();

$uname = $_SESSION['uname'];

$_SESSION['uname'] == $uname;

This is at the very start of the page after the <? it worked before so I'm a little confused

it says this "Undefined variable on line 4"

Hope this helps

Aren't you supposed to have an "if/else" statement on the last line of code that you've posted? "==" are generally in if/else statements...

Kryllster · May 16, 2007

I just tried to include that in an if statement it gave me a blank page with no warnings or error just blank!

radar · May 16, 2007

Yeah definately -- plus if its giving a line 4, i only see 3 lines and so thats obviously not all the code for this... use the [*code] [/*code] commands with both the <?php and ?> tags for syntax highlighting and let us see the code in its entirety.

Kryllster · May 16, 2007

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['uname'] == $uname;
$uname = $_SESSION['uname'];
?>

this is at the top of the pages I think need them

sorry about that I didnt know how to do that thanks

Post the line 4 and Check the tmp folder it would be outside your htdocs folder . There you will find some files with name sess_* check weather there is any files with name ??

EDIT

----------------------------

== is for Comparing

= is for assigning

radar · May 16, 2007

<?php

$session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION['uname'])) {
$uname = "Guest";
} else {
$uname = $_SESSION['uname'];
}
?>

Try that code and let me know what it does...

Kryllster · May 16, 2007

I'm sorry i am maybe being a little confusing I have change ot around a couple times but here is the ssid in the sessions folder:

uname|N;

Here is the code for the character sheet

<?php
session_start();
$uname = $_SESSION['uname'];
if ($_SESSION['uname'] == $uname);
{
include ('config.php');

Sorry about the mess up like I said it worked before thats whats wierd to me!!

radar · May 16, 2007

you dont need the ; there...

<?php
session_start();
$uname = $_SESSION['uname'];
if ($_SESSION['uname'] == $uname) { // note the ; is missing
include ('config.php');

btw your quote is false for php programming... you may have the biggest imagination in the world but without the knowledge whatever you've imagined will never be a reality.

neel_basu · May 16, 2007

uname|N;

That means Sessions are working well.

Kryllster · May 16, 2007

Undefined variable: session_start in

Thats what i get from the code by radar

radar · May 16, 2007

oh duh -- i see why i put a $ in front of it -- sorry most the stuff ive been doing is in $'s and so i often put a $ in front of a function take the $ off and try it -- or revert back to your code and just remove the ; from that one line and see how it works...

Kryllster · May 16, 2007

Ok I noticed that and changed it lol now I get a blank page no error or warnings or anything?

radar · May 16, 2007

Couldn't tell you why your getting a blank page -- we dont see enough of the code lol...

Kryllster · May 16, 2007

Ok here is the first original code that worked with WAMP5 (please don't laugh) oh another thing is I am using frames if that would have anything to do with it??

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['uname'] == $uname;
include ('config.php');
$uname = $_SESSION['uname'];
// Select data from database
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE uname='$uname'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Put info into array Hopefully
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) 
{
echo "<html>";
echo "<head>";
echo "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"gamestyle.css\" />";
echo "</head>";

radar · May 16, 2007

Okay -- try doing it like this...

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['uname'])) {
include ('config.php');
$uname = $_SESSION['uname'];
// Select data from database
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE uname='$uname'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Put info into array Hopefully
$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
echo "<html>";
echo "<head>";
echo "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"gamestyle.css\" />";
echo "</head>";
echo "<body>";
echo "<center>";
echo $uname;
echo "<br>";
echo "<img src=\"images/Gallery/Elf.jpg\" align=\"center\">";
echo "</center>";
echo "<br>";
echo "<img src=\"images/staff.gif\" align=\"center\">";
echo "<br>";
echo "<font color=\"#b22222\">Character Info</font>";
echo "<br>";
echo "<img src=\"images/staff.gif\" align=\"center\">";
echo "<br>";
echo "<small>";
echo "Race: ";
echo "<font color=\"#b22222\">";
echo $row['race'];
echo "</font>";
echo "<br>";
echo "Class: ";
echo "<font color=\"#b22222\">";
echo  $row['fclass'];
echo "</font>";
echo "<br>";
echo "Level: ";
echo "<font color=\"#b22222\">"; 
echo $row['levl'];
echo "</font>";
echo "<br>";
echo "Hit Points: ";
echo "<font color=\"#b22222\">";
echo  $row['hitp'];
echo "</font>";
echo "<br>";
echo "<img src=\"images/staff.gif\" align=\"center\">";
echo "<br>";
echo "</small>";
echo "<font color=\"#b22222\">Inventory</font><br>";
echo "<img src=\"images/staff.gif\" align=\"center\">";
echo "<br>";
echo "<small>";
echo "Armor: ";
echo "<font color=\"#b22222\">";
echo $row['armor'];
echo "</font>";
echo "<br>";
echo "Weapon: ";
echo "<font color=\"#b22222\">";
echo $row['weapon'];
echo "</font>";
echo  "<br>";
echo "Gold Onhand: ";
echo "<font color=\"#b22222\">"; 
echo $row['onhand'];
echo "</font>";

echo "<a href=\"chat/cdchat.php#bottom\" target=\"_blank\">[ Crimson Chat ]</a><br>";
echo "</small>";
echo "</body>";
echo "</html>";
}
?>

try doing that, might work... Also you might take a look at the smarty templating engine (smarty.php.net) -- works great for complex programs... i wrote a template engine similar to smarty for use on my site (im not using 1 piece of pre-written code)...

Smarty makes it so all your logic can be in 1 file,while all your html can be in different files...

Kryllster · May 16, 2007

Ok just a blank page, well I used Smarty a little when I was working on a project for another person and was really just learning but I got sick and wasnt available for a few months so I never took it any further. Im just wondering why it woks on 1 server and not the other. I do use the CPED method Copy, Paste, Edit or Delete. Lol but I am learning as I go.

radar · May 16, 2007

I think i just found the error -- possibly....

or this could be coming from a different part of the frames...

$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE uname='$uname'";

i doubt your table name is $tbl_name and no-where in this code do we have $tbl_name established.

unless thats in config, but i doubt it...

Kryllster · May 16, 2007

Yeah It's in config but you know I have always had problems with e>novative>wamp I installed it cause it was quicker but what I need is some sort of wamp that is a little more flexible I think anyways??? And I would like to eventually write code from scratch myself any good or should I say great beginners sites or docs or tutes i could get pointed to would help as well!!

Thanks for all the help btw,

radar · May 16, 2007

I dunno only thing i could say it possibly try using xaamp instead -- ive never had any success with using wamp -- i use xaamp -- it runs mysql, apache, and you can choose either php4 or 5...

Well you are always welcome at my site (im in the process of programming it myself) -- its all about teaching people how to design graphics, and program and all that good stuff -- the url for it is cetutorials.com -- also try the tutorials on this site, they could come in handy -- though ive never read them i just know they are there...

also look into smarty some more -- because it really is a great template engine.

Kryllster · May 16, 2007

Well I had problems all night with my system so I have a linux server up now just haven't tested it yet. The Way I see it most of the web is Apache nowadays (at least I think so) that this would be better. I got tired of messin with the windows and really the only reason I still am using windows is cause of games. Thanks for all the help.

Kryllster · May 16, 2007

I just tested it it works fine now Im not sure what the problem is/was but I'm good for now!!
