jamesbond110 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hi I'm a very big newb to PHP so if you tolerate my utterly retarded questions, I thank you very much! Here is a form, very basic. What it does it just allow you to type your name and comment and then post it. $template_form = <<<HTML <table border="0" width="493" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="64" height="30"><div align="left">Name:</div></td> <td height="30"> <input type='text' name='name'> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="64" height="30"></td> <td height="30"> <textarea cols="40" rows="2" id=commentsbox name="comments"></textarea> <br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td height="30"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add My Comment" /></td> </tr> </table> HTML; Now for "<input type='text' name='name'>" I would like it not be editable. Here's what I would like: If a user is logged in if ((!isset($_SESSION['validUser'])) || ($_SESSION['validUser'] != true)) Then their username $username Will be the value for the "<input type='text' name='name'>". Otherwise the value would be 'guest'. If you need clarification, please post! Here is the webpage: http://tobysplayground.100webspace.net/Phat%20Cat%20Productions/index.php Thanks in advance!

jamesbond110 Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Did what you told to do mate and Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/www/tobysplayground.100webspace.net/Phat Cat Productions/news/data/Default.tpl on line 44 So I think I should just show you the entire .tpl file. I'm using Cutenews manager if you've had experience with that. <?PHP ///////////////////// TEMPLATE Default ///////////////////// $template_active = <<<HTML <div style="margin-bottom:20px;"> <div class="h"><strong>{title}</strong></div> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-bottom:5px;">{short-story}</div> <div style="float: right;">[com-link]{comments-num} Comments[/com-link]</div> <div><em>Posted on {date} by {author}</em></div></div> HTML; $template_full = <<<HTML <div style="margin-bottom:20px;"> <div class="h"><strong>{title}</strong></div> <div style="text-align:justify; padding:3px; margin-top:3px; margin-bottom:5px;">{short-story}</div> <div style="float: right;">[com-link]{comments-num} Comments[/com-link]</div> <div><em>Posted on {date} by {author}</em></div></div> HTML; $template_comment = <<<HTML <div> by <strong>{author}</strong> @ {date}</div> <div style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:10px;">{comment}</div> HTML; $template_form = <<<HTML <table border="0" width="493" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="64" height="30"><div align="left">Name:</div></td> <td height="30"> <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['userName']; ?>" disabled /> </tr> <tr> <td width="64" height="30"></td> <td height="30"> <textarea cols="40" rows="2" id=commentsbox name="comments"></textarea> <br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td height="30"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add My Comment" /></td> </tr> </table> HTML; $template_prev_next = <<<HTML <p align="center">[prev-link]<< Previous[/prev-link] {pages} [next-link]Next >>[/next-link]</p> HTML; $template_comments_prev_next = <<<HTML <p align="center">[prev-link]<< Older[/prev-link] ({pages}) [next-link]Newest >>[/next-link]</p> HTML; ?> ANOTHER side note. I used the same code in the index.php and it worked like a charm. However, once I put it in the default.tpl file I got the error. I appreciate your quick response. Thanks for the help!
