HTML code ignored in php file

alwaysme · March 18, 2008

hello helpers

below is a code for an application form. It works fine when a user completes all required fields, however when the form is sent with missing fields it refreshes with an error msg. The problem is this new "refreshed" page is the form and all HTML under it, anything above it in the code. I do have a menu and a nice header but that wont appear since everything above the php code is ignored

anyone have an idea how to fix this for me?



<?php
/*
* application form
*/

ob_start();
require_once "../lib/tools.php";
no_cache();


?>

<html>
<head>
<title>testng</title>

<link href="css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

may I ask why you're buffering the output?

I didn't really dive into it that much after noticing you're buffering the output. If not used correctly, that will cause a shiz load of probs.

This is how I suggest your re-do your inline PHP if removing the output buffering doesn't work or is not the problem.

<?php

// SESSION LOGIC

// INCLUDE / STARTUP LOGIC

// CODE/MYSQL LOGIC, CODE STORED IN OUTPUT VARIABLE(S)

?>

OUTPUT PHP VARIABLE(S)

<?PHP

// FUNCTIONS USED IN CODE LOGIC

?>

alwaysme · March 19, 2008

hello, i did not create that code, it a script :-[ the only buffering i know is windows media player when it starts load...

all i want to say is that anything in the code above the php will not show, anything under displays normal...

this occur when fields are not completed and page refreshes

anyone have a step solution 4 me

uniflare · March 19, 2008

where is $allow_register being set? (eg look for a string exactly: "$allow_register =" or "$allow_register=" in all file included or used before this code (eg the tools.php file and anything included in this file)

i assume it is a setting in some config somewhere to allow people to register... try setting $allow_register = "yes"; at the top between the <?php and ?> tags...

hope this helps,

alwaysme · March 20, 2008

hi uniflare

i looked inside the included files and include files within them too

all of them

include "$currdir/spaw/spaw_control.class.php";

include "$currdir/lib/mysql.php";

include "$currdir/lib/my_auth.php";

include "$currdir/lib/forms.php";

include "$currdir/lib/format.php";

include "$currdir/lib/http.php";

include "$currdir/lib/rights.php";

ob_start();

require_once "../lib/tools.php";

require_once "../display_fields.php";

include_once "../lib/misc.php";

include_once "../lib/mail.php";

sucks as i couldnt find what you said

i tried to do this with putting all the HTML above the form in a seperate file and did the following

<?php

include "html_above_form.php";
include "top2.php";
if(!$allow_register) {
    ob_end_clean();
    exit();
}

But it didnt work!!! ......anyone have any clue for me?

its a resume register form for job recruitment...

the HTML displays when i visit the page, but if someone forgets to complete a field and submits the form, it refreshs but ignores ALL html above the php code

uniflare · March 20, 2008

nono, stick with your original script u gave us, just add "$allow_register = true;" to the top.

no output be cause an OB buffer has been started (ob_start()), you need ob_get_contents() to put into a variable and then ob_end_clean() to stop the script catching the output.

uniflare · March 20, 2008

also, use notepad++ its search features are much more feature full. for instance you can search entire folders for a specific string in all the files it can, it then gives you line numbers of the files it found the string on. very handy,

if(!$allow_register) {
    ob_end_clean();
    exit();
}

this line is the line i believe is the line stopping the output. it says if the variable either is false or not been set or similar it will exit the script without sending the buffered content. try commenting out these lines. (though this seems a very lazy way of dealing with a specific event, personally i would code it properly and give answers to the client.).

or you could try instead of just "exit()", use "exit('$allow_register has not been properly set');" - then u will know where u r in the script and whats happening...kinda.

(the logic of this code seems strange to me somehow... but nm its prolly me)

alwaysme · March 21, 2008

Uniflare, thanks for your persistant helping

i know what youre saying seems very specific to you, but for me its very complex, sorry...So do i just change the line

include "top2.php";
if(!$allow_register) {
    ob_end_clean();
    exit();
}

to

include "top2.php";
if(!$allow_register = true;) {
    ob_end_clean();
    exit();
}

like that?

and thanks for recommending that program it will save me so much time

alwaysme · March 21, 2008

if i perform the changes above (my post), i will recieve same outcome....all html above the php is ignored completely if someone forgets to fill in all the fields :\

conker87 · March 21, 2008

Try that:

include "top2.php";
if(!$allow_register == true;) {
    ob_end_clean();
    exit();
}

uniflare · March 21, 2008

sorry, and thanks, i meant:

<?php
$allow_register = true;

include "top2.php";
if(!$allow_register) {
    ob_end_clean();
    exit();
}
?>

which is the same as just having:

<?php
include "top2.php";
?>

nafetski · March 21, 2008

With the current headache you're going through on using a ready-made script - it would probably be easier (and teach you a lot more) to start from scratch and learn how php/mysql works.

http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql

here is a great one!

alwaysme · March 21, 2008

guys neither solution work...and i wish i have time to understand all that programing thats why i purchased this script for 180$... im stuck and cannot get it to display right...the support takes forever sending tickets to them...i already have 3 "bug" tickets open so i dont want to flood them with this as its only a cosmetic thing...

back to the issue....i tried

<?php

include "top2.php";
if(!$allow_register)
{
   echo " my html stuff here";
    ob_end_clean();
    exit();
}

wont work either....please anyone know how to bypass this ob thing?

alwaysme · March 21, 2008

wow i even commented this out

if(!$allow_register)
{

    ob_end_clean();
    exit();
}

and i still get the same thing....what could be responsible then im so confused..

alwaysme · March 21, 2008

gosh finally i solved this

thanks to all who helped especially uiniflare...i experimented and placed the code above the first instance "<?php

" and it worked

so silly......

in conclusion...its just shame that you get great responses before u buy the software and when u buy it i recieve one liner comments from the developers. I will not mention the company i bought the script from (180$) and will give them another chance.

uniflare · March 21, 2008

be careful how you edit scripts like this, even the most minute changes can create unnoticable but major logic flaws. which may not show straight away.

if you really need help with this script (because it is commercial), gimme a shout ill PM you my email, add me to msn or something.

glad you got it working at least. for $180 i would of thought it would work from the box , ul m8.
