Please help Im sorry!

[blake87]

My name is Ryan Blake a university student who is into web design,I am currently have problems with a php file which I purchased foy my web site, it would seem as the web hosts don't know the problem, and the creator cant solve the problem,I have saw this script working on other web sites,but it just will not work for mine,  when I debug my site I get some notices which are

Notice: Undefined variable: file in /home/gamezspa/public_html/components/com_achtube/achtube.php on line 21

I have not yet learned PHP, I will be at university next year, and I will start this summer to get a head start, but as it stands right now, it is essential I fix this problem for my site, if required I can give the script to anyone who maybe aware of what the problem is.

[Yesideez]

If you would like to post some of the code (probably up to and including line 21) that would help a lot in dealing with the problem.

 

Be sure to remove any sensitive information first like email addresses and any login details for MySQL or such if present.

[blake87]

Thanks for the reply

 

defined('_VALID_MOS') or die('Direct Access to this location is not allowed.');
require_once( $mainframe->getPath( 'front_html' ) );
require_once( $mainframe->getPath( 'class' ) );
switch( $task ) {
case 'view':
view($id);
break;

case 'upload':
if ($my->id==""){
header("Location:index.php?option=com_login");
}
upload($file,$desc,$catid,$title,$accid);
break;

 

I hope this helps

[Yesideez]

OK is that from "achtube.php"?

 

I'm presuming that the upload() call at the end is whats generating the error. Add this immediately before that line:

  echo 'file: '.$file.'<br />';
  echo 'desc: '.$desc.'<br />';
  echo 'catid: '.$catid.'<br />';
  echo 'title: '.$title.'<br />';
  echo 'accid: '.$accid.'<br />';

 

Also, can you show the part of code that starts like this:

 

function upload(...

 

I'd like to see what parameters are required and how they're being set.

[blake87]

Yes you are correct how did you know?

 

 

 

function upload($file,$desc,$catid,$title,$accid){

global $database;

$database->setQuery( "SELECT * FROM #__achtube_config");

$database->loadObject($row);

if ($database -> getErrorNum()) {

echo $database -> stderr();

return false;

}

global $mosConfig_absolute_path,$mosConfig_live_site,$database,$my;

$query = "SELECT d.name as name, d.id as id from #__groups as d";

$database->setQuery($query);

$accs = $database->loadObjectList();

$myacc[] = mosHTML::makeOption( -1, "Select Access Level");

foreach($accs as $obj){

$myacc[] = mosHTML::makeOption( $obj->id, $obj->name);

}

$lists['accs'] = mosHTML::selectList( $myacc, 'accid', 'class="inputbox" size="1" ', 'value', 'text');

$query = "SELECT s.name as name, s.id as id from #__categories as s WHERE s.section = $row->secid AND s.published = 1 AND s.access <= '$usertype' ORDER BY s.ordering";

$database->setQuery($query);

$cats = $database->loadObjectList();

$mycat[] = mosHTML::makeOption( -1, "Select Category");

foreach($cats as $obj){

$mycat[] = mosHTML::makeOption( $obj->id, $obj->name);

}

$lists['cats'] = mosHTML::selectList( $mycat, 'catid', 'class="inputbox" size="1" ', 'value', 'text');

HTML_achtube::upload($option, $rows[0], $lists);

if($_POST[submit]!=""){

global $database;

$vid = new stdClass;

if ($title==""){

$hata = "Please provide a video title";

}

 

 

I am not sure if this to too much or to little code let me know, thanks in advance

[Yesideez]

Did you add those "echo" lines and try the script? It's just a method of debugging to show the contents of the variables to see exactly what is being passed to the upload() function.

 

I have to go out very soon so someone will have to take over.

 

If you can post what the echo statements give you that would help.

[blake87]

The permissions will not allow me to add the code, I will do my best to add the echo statements ASAP, thanks again

[Yesideez]

Permissions?

 

You mean restrictions in the distribution licence that came with the scripts?

 

If that is the case I believe those restrictions are in place to stop people messing around with the scripts on a permanent basis. I think in this case where the alterations will be removed afterwards this will be OK as it's just to try and figure out what is going wrong.

 

NowI may be completely wrong on this bit but I *think* PHP was set up differently for whoever wrote it to the environment you're using the scripts in. Maybe your environment is more strict, I'm not sure but I reckon one of the moderators would know for sure. PHP settings isn't something I'm too familiar with.

[blake87]

I added that code now, I just uninstalled the program then injected the code before it is installed on the web server I now get the following

I put the code as followed:

 

case 'view':
	view($id);
	break;

case 'upload':
	if ($my->id==""){
		header("Location:index.php?option=com_login");
		}
	upload($file,$desc,$catid,$title,$accid);
	break;

default:
	if ($my->id==""){
		header("Location:index.php?option=com_login");
		}

  echo 'file: '.$file.'<br />';
  echo 'desc: '.$desc.'<br />';
  echo 'catid: '.$catid.'<br />';
  echo 'title: '.$title.'<br />';
  echo 'accid: '.$accid.'<br />';

	upload($file,$desc,$catid,$title,$accid);
	break;
}

[/code]

Notice: Undefined variable: desc in /home/gamezspa/public_html/components/com_achtube/achtube.php on line 21

I would say that the warning messages are because you're trying to call a variable that hasn't been set yet.

Sometimes you want something to happen only if a variable is set, such as echoing the variable.

most people would simply put:

echo $desc;

but on some servers it throws up warnings if $desc isn't set.

You can sort it by using isset() or adding this line to the top of every page:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

That's a simple method for removing those errors, but I'd probably weed out where they're coming from and add some isset() statements.

[blake87]

Ok, I put the simple method of removing the errors I had, they are now gone, my problem now is that files are not uploading to the server, is this web hosting related, they offer FFMPEG, but I don't know why this will not work for me.

[sushant_d84]

Initiallise All u r variables first

[Dragen]

where are you getting the variables from:

$file

$desc

$catid

$title

$accid

$usertype

$option

$rows

[blake87]

I think it may be these:

 

file:

desc:

catid:

title:

accid:

 

 

[Dragen]

  echo 'file: '.$file.'<br />';
  echo 'desc: '.$desc.'<br />';
  echo 'catid: '.$catid.'<br />';
  echo 'title: '.$title.'<br />';
  echo 'accid: '.$accid.'<br />';

that part is just trying to echo the variables, which is giving you the warnings, because it can't find them.

 

It seems to me that you should have a form of some kind which submits the data?

[blake87]

I am not sure, when I submit on the front end, nothing happens

[Dragen]

Could you post the form you submit with please?

[blake87]

http://www.gamezspace.net/index.php?option=com_achtube&Itemid=67

 

the form is there if this helps

[Dragen]

I need to register to view the page and I don't really want to sign-up to yet another forum

Can't you just post some of the code for the form?

try replacing this:

if ($title==""){
$hata = "Please provide a video title";
}
if ($desc==""){
$hata = "Please provide video description";
}
if ($catid=="-1"){
$hata = "Please select a category";
}
if ($file==""){
$hata = "Please select a video file for upload";
}
if ($hata!=""){
mosRedirect("index.php?option=com_achtube&task=upload", $hata);
}

 

with this:

if ($title=="" || !isset($title)){
$hata = "Please provide a video title";
}
if ($desc==""|| !isset($desc)){
$hata = "Please provide video description";
}
if ($catid=="-1"|| !isset($catid)){
$hata = "Please select a category";
}
if ($file==""|| !isset($file)){
$hata = "Please select a video file for upload";
}
if ($hata!="")){
mosRedirect("index.php?option=com_achtube&task=upload", $hata);
}

[blake87]

I got an error at this line now

 

if ($hata!="")){

 

Any ideas

 

My mistake I know a bit about programming and it I got two braces when it should be one

 

if ($hata!=""){

 

instead of

 

if ($hata!="")){

[Dragen]

ah yeah, sorry my mistake there.

Do you still recieve problems uploading files?

[blake87]

Yes it does stil not allow me to upload

[Dragen]

are you using the form which you gave me the link to?

 

if so could you please copy and paste the code that makes up the form?

the <form action="someaction" method="post"> part.
