PHP script runs on 1 server but not another...

[musicmaker001]

Modified Post 04-06-06


I think I'm almost squared away. My script is running through all the code except for the last few lines. Someone Please help me, I have been sqouring the web for an answer to no avail. Here is the last bit of code that seems to be snafuing the whole script.




$message=stripslashes($message);

$subject="Website Applicant";
$address="craig@hoaxdesign.com";
$email="$emailaddy";
$mail="$message";
$success=mail($address,$subject,$mail,"From: $email");
header("Refresh: 0;url=http://www.hoaxdesign.com/success.html");
?><?php
}
?>

please post some code so we can see what your working with and telling us what errors you get might also help

[musicmaker001]

The error is a Cannot find server or DNS Error

The old script was removed from this post.

I posted the changed script below.

[shortj75]

ist it not finding this page [a href=\"http://www.hoaxdesign.com/success.html\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.hoaxdesign.com/success.html[/a]

[musicmaker001]

It fails with process.php in the address bar.

The working script goes to the success page with no problems.

[shortj75]

does it keep saying it cant find server and wher you refresh it it says you did not enter all requested data

[musicmaker001]

Yes, that's what it says. Even though everything is entered.

[shortj75]

every time it says cant find server that is a server error and not code error and when it says cant find server and you refresh it it is looseing all the veriables if you are usein the same server as the one that work just useing a different domain name then it is probaly the server that is hosting the domain name haveing errors

[musicmaker001]

The servers are definately not the same. I know the working script is on an Apache UNIX server. I do not know about the other server. Will this make a difference? The script has been tested several times over the passed week on the other server with the same result each time. Any ideas as to what I should do?

[musicmaker001]

Both servers are Apache servers. I just got a confirmation on it.

[shortj75]

both apachi servers may be configured differently(example: one is on a lenux os and if the other one is on a windows os they would be configured different and may read code different) and that could be the problem plus another problem you might run into is if on server is running php4 and the other is running php5 some of the php4 code will not run on php5 because of the the changes but the problem you are haveing is the server because when you hit the submit button the browser says can not find server and when you hit the refresh button the page displays with the error

[musicmaker001]

The hosting company for the site sent this to me.

"I have global variables turned off for security reasons, so you may need to reference the variables by object."

I don't know how to change the code to do that. Perhaps you could explain it to me, maybe an example would help...from the code I already have.

[kenrbnsn]

The host should have said -- "I have register_globals disabled. This is the default behavior for PHP for the last several years"

Please read the section on [a href=\"http://www.php.net/register_globals\" target=\"_blank\"]register_globals[/a] in the PHP manual for more information.

Thanks a ton Ken,

I made changes to my script, which I'll include below. I have the same scenario, it works on one server but not the other. I can't see what the problem is, perhaps someone could point it out to me?

its not your code it is the server when you first hit submit it says cant find server then when you refresh the page it loads but loses all the variables

[musicmaker001]

I put an intentional gliche in the script to test where it stopped. It stops at the last few lines of code.

The security on this server is rather high & other PHP scripts are running on it. It seems unlikely that it's a server issue if other php scripts are running doesn't it?

I really do believe that the last section of code is the problem. Please take a look at it, I have posted the section again below. Somewhere in here, it is going bad.

[musicmaker001]

The code seems ok to me but I am a novice with PHP to say the least.

[musicmaker001]

I sure feel that this script is so very close to being right.

[musicmaker001]

Please help me.
