PHP - Moved: Call To Undefined Method Database::onconnect()

So i read the docs on this and it said to create a callback function and use ini_set to set the function. I am trying to serialize an array with the class inside the array

Code: [Select]
$dd_normal_button = array (
        'dd_normal_button_display' =>
        array (
                'dd_button_digg' =>
                __PHP_Incomplete_Class::__set_state(array(
                '__PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name' => 'DD_Digg',
                'buttonLayout' =>
                array (
                        'Wide' => 'DiggWide',
                        'Normal' => 'DiggMedium',
                        'Compact' => 'DiggCompact',
                        'Icon' => 'DiggIcon',
                ),
               )
              )
             )
            );

So then I try

Code: [Select]
serialize($dd_normal_button);
and I get the error.

Any ideas/suggestions.

Thanks

Hello,

I have no idea where to post this but basically I am trying to create a facebook application using a "Building Facebook Applications For Dummies" book but I am stuck on the first paragraph! This is the appinclude.php file:

Code: [Select]
<?php
require_once '../client/facebook.php';

// *** Add your Facebook API Key, Secret Key, and Callback URL here ***
$appapikey = '<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>';
$appsecret = '<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>';
$appcallbackurl = '<http://projectstratos.com/facebook/live/>';  

// Connect to Facebook, retrieve user 
$facebook = new Facebook($appapikey, $appsecret);
// $user = $facebook->require_login(); OLD 
$user = $facebook->get_loggedin_user(); 
$is_logged_out = !$user; 

// Exception handler for invalid session_keys 
try {
  // If app is not added, then attempt to add 
  if (!$facebook->api_client->users_isAppAdded()) {
    $facebook->redirect($facebook->get_add_url());
  }
} catch (Exception $ex) {
  // Clear out cookies for app and redirect user to a login prompt
$facebook->set_user(null, null);
$facebook->redirect($appcallbackurl);
}
?>
And this is the index.php file:
Code: [Select]
<h1>Watch Project Stratos Live!</h1>
<?php
require_once 'appinclude.php';

echo "<p>Your user id is: $user</p>";
echo "<p>Your name is: <fb:name uid=\"$user\" useyou\"false\" /></p>";

echo "<p>You have several freinds: </p>";
$friends = $facebook->app_client->friends_get();
echo "<ul>";
foreach ($friends as $friend) {
echo "<li><fb:name uid=\"$freind\" useyou\"false\" /></li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
?>
The facebook.php is the current fbml version (v2.1.2-4 I think) and the content in the h1 tag is echoed however after that there is the following errror message:

Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Facebook::get_loggedin_user() in /xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/facebook/live/appinclude.php on line 12
I have mo idea what the problem could be! I have tried changing get_loggedin_user to getUser() but I just get another error, this is aparently (according to another forum) because I "forgot" to add get_loggedin_user.

Thanks in advance,
Cameron

Hello,

I've been following google maps with php/mysql turorial http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlajax.html

I've come to my phpsqlajax_genxml.php file which as the google code has it like this:

<?php
require("phpsqlajax_dbinfo.php");

// Start XML file, create parent node
$doc = domxml_new_doc("1.0");
$node = $doc->create_element("markers");
$parnode = $doc->append_child($node);

// Opens a connection to a MySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect (localhost, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
  die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}

// Set the active MySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
  die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}

// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
  die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}

header("Content-type: text/xml");

// Iterate through the rows, adding XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
  // ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
  $node = $doc->create_element("marker");
  $newnode = $parnode->append_child($node);

  $newnode->set_attribute("name", $row['name']);
  $newnode->set_attribute("address", $row['address']);
  $newnode->set_attribute("lat", $row['lat']);
  $newnode->set_attribute("lng", $row['lng']);
  $newnode->set_attribute("type", $row['type']);
}

$xmlfile = $doc->dump_mem();
echo $xmlfile;

?>


I started with this but was getting errors at line 1!! I looked around abit on the net and found i should change

$doc = domxml_new_doc("1.0");

to this

$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0');

Then i got errors abour creating the elements, i looke on php.net and it looked like i needed to change

$node = $doc->create_element("markers");
$parnode = $doc->append_child($node);
$newnode->set_attribute("name", $row['name']);


To this:

$node = $doc->createElement('markers');
$parnode = $doc->appendChild($node);
$newnode->setAttribute ('name', $row['name']);

This at least got my code further down the page until the very last statment:

$xmlfile = $doc->dump_mem();

Here i'm getting this error "Fatal error: Call to undefined method DOMDocument::dump_mem()" along with "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent"

I havent even looked at the warning i just tried to fix the fatal error. Again i looked around the web and forums and php.net and thought maybe i need to set the value to "true" but it still got a fatal error.

I looked on php.net and in there examples for dump_mem() and they had the nodes set_attribute create_element and append_child.

Which confused me as that was what i used originally just following the google script and that got me the error right away "Fatal error to undefined method DOMDocument::create"


Can anybody point out whats going wrong? This is my script that I am using

<?php
require('connect.php');
?>

}

// Add to XML document node

$node = $doc->createElement('marker');
$newnode = $parnode->appendChild($node);

$newnode->setAttribute ('name', $row['name']);
$newnode->setAttribute ('address', $row['address']);
$newnode->setAttribute ('lat', $row['lat']);
$newnode->setAttribute ('lng', $row['lng']);
$newnode->setAttribute ('type', $row['type']);
}

$xmlfile = $doc->dump_mem();
echo $xmlfile;
?>

</body>

</html>


And the google code is on the link in posted in the messge also but this is theres both of which fail for Fatal errors either on the dump_mem() or new DOMDocument respecitvaley :

<?php
require("phpsqlajax_dbinfo.php");

// Start XML file, create parent node
$doc = domxml_new_doc("1.0");
$node = $doc->create_element("markers");
$parnode = $doc->append_child($node);

// Opens a connection to a MySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect (localhost, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
  die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}

// Set the active MySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
  die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}

// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
  die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}

header("Content-type: text/xml");

// Iterate through the rows, adding XML nodes for each

  // ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
  $node = $doc->create_element("marker");

  $newnode->set_attribute("name", $row['name']);
  $newnode->set_attribute("address", $row['address']);
  $newnode->set_attribute("lat", $row['lat']);
  $newnode->set_attribute("lng", $row['lng']);
  $newnode->set_attribute("type", $row['type']);
}

$xmlfile = $doc->dump_mem();
echo $xmlfile;

?>

OVERVIEW:

The code is about making call to the escreen web service using SOAP and Curl with client authentication required. Currently I am not getting any result only HTTP 403 and 500 errors.
The call requires client authenticate cert to be on the callng site.

QUESTIONS:

1. I need to call the RequestTicket method and pass the XML string to it.
   I don't know how to do it here(pass the method name to call).

2. For client authentication they gave us three certs, one root cert, one intermediate
   cert and a client authentication cert PROTPLUSSOL_SSOpem(it was a .pfx file). Since we are on linux we converted them to pem . In curl calls I could not find way to how to include both the root cert and the intermediate cert ,so I combined them by making a new pem file and copying the intermediate cert and them the root cert and naming it authority.pem .
I am not sure whether it works or not and would like your opinion.

3. For the current code Iam getting the error
   Error no : 77 Curl error: error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /home/pps/authority.pem CApath: /home/pps/

 
  If I disable the curl error message,I am getting blank page with page title 403 - Forbidden. Access is denied.

  If I comment out the CURLOPT_CAPATH and CURLOPT_CAINFO lines it gives http 500 error page with the message as content and the following at the top.

 > HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error. Cache-Control: private Content-Type: text/html Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5 X-AspNet-Version: 1.1.4322 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Date: Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:46:38 GMT Content-Length: 1208

If I comment out as above and also CURLOPT_SSLCERT and CURLOPT_SSLCERTPASSWD it gives 403 error with the message as content.

So I would request you to help me out by pointing out whats wrong with the current code.

Thank you.

why this error not going away? :O

I have an error that I seem to find curious. Let me explain what I have. I have a Database class that has a function (the culprit) that is called fetchAll. It is suppose to call the mysqli method mysqli_result::fetch_all(). This method does exist, I have looked it up: The PHP Manual, however do note the last comment on the page, it describes my problem, but does not explain how I can fix it. Now, here is my error:

Quote

Fatal error: Call to undefined method mysqli_result::fetch_all() in /var/www/core/includes/Database.php on line 36


Here is line 36:
$row = $this->result->fetch_all($mode);

Here is the entire function, or is it called a method since it is in a class?

function fetchAll($mode = 'MYSQLI_ASSOC'){

$row = $this->result->fetch_all($mode);

return !empty($row) ? $row : array();//if not empty return row, else return an array?

}


I could post the entire class, but I think it might be irrelevant so I will spear you guys.

Do you guys think you might be able to help me out?

Thanks!

I'm working on an application and it seems that the else block is being executed no matter what in the following if statement. My question (which seems really basic and like I should know the answer but I can't seem to remember) is if you have an object instance in an if statement, how does that resolve? Will it resolve to true because there is an object there? I assume/think that would be the behaviour but I can't remember.
Also, I'll point out the class I'm working with is Zend_Mail. From my understanding the send method will return an instance of $this upon success and will throw an exception on failure. The mail is being sent but the else block is executing anyway. I may just throw it in a try catch if that's better.
Code: [Select]
if ($mail->send()) {
return true;
} else {
$NOTICE++;
$NOTICESTR[] = "We were unable to e-mail an e-mail notification <strong>".$to["email"]."</strong>.<br /><br />A system administrator was notified of this issue, but you may wish to contact this learner manually and let them know their accommodation has been removed.";

application_log("error", "Unable to send accommodation notification to [".$to["email"]."] / type [".$type."]. Zend_Mail said: ".$mail->ErrorInfo);
}


Thanks in advance. I'll check back in a bit.

Code: [Select]
<html>
<center>
<form method="post" action="">
<b>Email</b><br><input type="text" name="email"/><br>
<b>Password</b><br><input type="password" name="password"/><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login"/><br>
</form>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

echo echo_post($_POST['email']);

function echo_post($postvar){
return $postvar;
}


}
?>
</center>
</html>



the filename is index.php

How come I get the undefined function echo_post on line 14? I know it is probably something simple but I am kind of new to this, if you could help me out that would be great

NB:
The first section of php in this thread is extracted from the second. It is where the problem lies - ($newItem = $XMLpage->createElement('item', $updateValue);).


I am trying to simply add an element into an xml document via DOMDocument.createElement(). However the following returns a fatal error:
Quote

<b>Fatal error</b>:  Call to undefined method DOMElement::createElement()

The error section in question extracted from the full function

//load up and get ready the xml file to edit
$xml = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$xml->load($fullPathToXML);

//load the page we are changing
$XMLpage = $xml->getElementsByTagName('page')->item($page_number);

//created the new item node
$newItem = $XMLpage->createElement('item', $updateValue);

//append the item to the xml sheet on the correct page
$XMLpage->appendChild($newItem);

//now save the xml to file
$xml->save($fullPathToXML);



Would anyone have any ideas why it is returning a fatal error here? I have used the official example on the DOMDocument.createElement() and the php version i am using is 5.3.8


The full function (the rest of which works fine):
