Refresh problem

RealDrift · December 12, 2007

Hi,

An AJAX script refreshes a file containing the following code:

logincheck();
$username=$_SESSION['username'];
$viewuser=$_GET['viewuser'];

$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `inbox` WHERE `read`='0' AND `to`='$username'");

$inbox=mysql_num_rows($check);

<TD width="4%" align="left" valign="middle"><span id="msgstatus"><span class="style2">
		      <?php 
			  if ($inbox > 0){ 
			  echo "<a href=inbox.php target=middle><img border=0 src=images/unread1.gif 		                         align=left  width=16 height=11></a> "; 
			  }else{ 
			  echo "<img src=images/read.gif align=left width=16 height=11>"; } 
		      
			   ?>
			  </span></span></TD>

The AJAX script is fine and tested, the guy who tested the script said there is something wrong with my php. is there anything wrong with my script?

the above script basically displays one pic if there are unread messages in your inbox and if there aren't any then it displays a completely different picture.

It would help if you organized your code at all because i found lots of errors.

<?php
if(logincheck()) {
	if(isset($_SESSION['username']) && isset($_GET['viewuser'])) {
		$inbox_user = $_SESSION['username'];
		$inbox_view = $_GET['viewuser'];
		$inbox_num_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `inbox` WHERE `read`='0' AND `to`='$username'");
		$inbox_num = mysql_num_rows($inbox_num_query);
		print '<td width=4% align=left valign=middle>';
		print '<span id=msgstatus class=style2>';
		print '<a href=inbox.php target=middle>';
		print '<img border=0 align=left src=images/';
		if($inbox_num > 0) {
			print 'unread1';
		}
		else { 
			print 'read';
		}
		print '.gif width=16 height=11></a>';
		print '</span>';
		print '</td>';
	}
}
?>
[code]

[/code]

i changed it and got error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function logincheck()

teng84 · December 12, 2007

because your suppose to have this function logincheck() defined

RealDrift · December 12, 2007

the function was defined in:

include "includes/db_connect.php";

include "includes/functions.php";

i included those at the top now the error is gone, but no image,

If i just echo image without an IF statement the image is displayed.

mr_mind · December 12, 2007

could you post all of the code?

RealDrift · December 12, 2007

Here is the php script where the message icon is meant to be displayed, it has the AJAx refresh code in it too:

<?php
session_start();
include "includes/db_connect.php";
include "includes/functions.php";
logincheck();
$username=$_SESSION['username'];
$viewuser=$_GET['viewuser'];

$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `inbox` WHERE `read`='0' AND `to`='$username'");

$inbox=mysql_num_rows($check);


$query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'");
$fetch=mysql_fetch_object($query);
$currank=$fetch->rank;

$fetch2=mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'"));

?>

this is the php script which determines what pic to display:

there you have it, anything wrong with the above?

teng84 · December 12, 2007

can you tell us again what the problem your getting out of that code?

RealDrift · December 13, 2007

basically the AJAX script works fine and refresh the text between the span tags. It displays text, however it doesn't seem to show the images in the php script.

It should refresh to show one image if user has new messages and refresh to show another image if user has no new messages. But it dsnt display either pic.

does that help?

teng84 · December 13, 2007

how will the script determine if there is new image?

RealDrift · December 13, 2007

look at the second code i just gave you:

Lines:

print '<img border=0 align=left src=images/';

if($inbox_num > 0) {

print 'unread1';

}

else {

print 'read';

}

print '.gif width=16 height=11></a>';

teng84 · December 13, 2007

can you give us the exact link to your images? and the source code of that pages when it runs on your browser?

RealDrift · December 13, 2007

images/unread1.gif

images/read.gif

what source code?

i have given you the main file source code which is the first code and the second code is the script which shows image according to status.

teng84 · December 13, 2007

if you dont put this

print '<img border=0 align=left src=images/';

if($inbox_num > 0) {

print 'unread1';

}

else {

print 'read';

}

print '.gif width=16 height=11>

and simply

print '<img border="0" align="left" src="images/unread1.gif" width="16" height="11">';

does it work?

RealDrift · December 13, 2007

it shows the pic if there is no IF statements attached to it, like:

print '<img border="0" align="left" src="images/unread1.gif" width="16" height="11">';

what could be wrong?

RealDrift · December 13, 2007

now i undid to the original code and gt this error:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\game\refresh.php:9) in C:\xampp\htdocs\game\includes\functions.php on line 2

teng84 · December 13, 2007

	print "<img border='0' align='left' ";
        if($inbox_num > 0) {
            print "src='images/unread1.gif";
         }
         else {
            print "src='images/read.gif";
         }
         print " width='16 height='11' />";

retain your old code and add this part

RealDrift · December 13, 2007

i changed that part and then refreshed the page, no pic showed and when AJAX refresh the page second later i got that session error again

teng84 · December 13, 2007

maybe your trying to use header before or after you use print or echo

RealDrift · December 13, 2007

mr_mind complicated the code for me. here is the original simple code :

<?php
session_start();
include "includes/db_connect.php";
include "includes/functions.php";
logincheck();
$username=$_SESSION['username'];

$viewuser=$_GET['viewuser'];

$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `inbox` WHERE `read`='0' AND `to`='$username'");

$inbox=mysql_num_rows($check);

			  if ($inbox > 0){ 
			  echo "<a href=inbox.php target=middle><img border=0 src=images/unread1.gif 		                         align=left  width=16 height=11></a> "; 
			  }else{ 
			  echo "<img src=images/read.gif align=left width=16 height=11>"; } 
		      

?>

RealDrift · December 13, 2007

i have put the IF statement back into the file which has the AJAX refresh script, between the span tags.

now the first uread1.gif is displayed but it dsnt change to read.gif when i read the unread messages.

teng84 · December 13, 2007

try this and tell me what happen

<?php
session_start();
include "includes/db_connect.php";
include "includes/functions.php";
logincheck();
$username=$_SESSION['username'];
$viewuser=$_GET['viewuser'];
$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `inbox` WHERE `read`='0' AND `to`='$username'");
$inbox=mysql_num_rows($check);
if ($inbox > 0){ 
echo $inbox;
echo "<a href=inbox.php target=middle><img border=0 src=images/unread1.gif align=left  width=16 height=11></a> "; 
}else{ 
echo "<img src=images/read.gif align=left width=16 height=11>";
} 
echo "<a href=inbox.php target=middle><img border=0 src=images/unread1.gif align=left  width=16 height=11></a> "; 
?>

RealDrift · December 13, 2007

it echoes two images:

read.gif and unread1.gif despite there being new messages. If i refresh the page manually the unread1.gif still is there. it doesn't change to read.gif like it should

teng84 · December 13, 2007

where is the part that updates your db so that it tells you that you have read that inbox?

RealDrift · December 13, 2007

that is in the inbox.php file line:

mysql_query("UPDATE `inbox` SET `read`='1' WHERE `to`='$username'");

i know when i veiw inbox unread messages are marked as read, since i can see it all happen via the db
