Hello everybody, I have a problem with my site I am making.
http://gmann.gflclan.com/index.php (this is a test site, I am not even near close to being done with it).
The problem I am having is, when I make my browser smaller, the navbar body doesn't move down (expand).
#navbar { width:auto; height: 5%; position:relative; background:url(images/transbg4.png); border-radius:15px 15px 0px 0px; box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px #121212; margin-left: 30%; margin-right: 30%; color: white; text-align: left; }There's the code. I think it has to do with "height: 5%;". Do you guys have any idea on how to fix this. I am learning coding, and sorry if this is a "noob" question. Also, if you want, feel free to give suggestions for the site, I already know it looks horrible but I plan on making it better in the future. Here is the navbar in the PHP file I made: <div id="navbar"> <ul id="nav_links"> <?php $query = "SELECT * FROM `navlist` ORDER BY `lorder` ASC"; $result = mysqli_query($db, $query) or die ('Error with the nav list query! Error: ' . mysqli_error($db)); while ($nav = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo '<div class="navlink">'; $target = ''; if($nav['newpage'] == 1) { $target = 'target=_blank'; } else { $target = ''; } echo '<li class="nav_button"><a href="' . $nav['link'] . '" ' . $target . '>' . $nav['name'] . '</a></li>'; echo '</div>'; } ?> </ul> </div>Thanks, Gamemann I understand that this is a header error but i still do not know how to fix it. I am trying to create a login box that is in the top right corner of my site. Once the user uses it to log in they need to be redirected to the account page. i include the login_box.php file in the appropriate div. however the file uses header("Location: account.php"); to redirect the user. because this file is included after the header i receive Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php:17) in C:\xampp\htdocs\layout_inc\login_box.php on line 76 What would be the correct way to do this. My code is bellow. Thank you in advance <?php //Forms posted if(!empty($_POST)) { $errors = array(); $username = trim($_POST["username"]); $password = trim($_POST["password"]); $remember_choice = trim($_POST["remember_me"]); //Perform some validation //Feel free to edit / change as required if($username == "") { $errors[] = lang("ACCOUNT_SPECIFY_USERNAME"); } if($password == "") { $errors[] = lang("ACCOUNT_SPECIFY_PASSWORD"); } //End data validation if(count($errors) == 0) { //A security note here, never tell the user which credential was incorrect if(!usernameExists($username)) { $errors[] = lang("ACCOUNT_USER_OR_PASS_INVALID"); } else { $userdetails = fetchUserDetails($username); //See if the user's account is activation if($userdetails["Active"]==0) { $errors[] = lang("ACCOUNT_INACTIVE"); } else { //Hash the password and use the salt from the database to compare the password. $entered_pass = generateHash($password,$userdetails["Password"]); if($entered_pass != $userdetails["Password"]) { //Again, we know the password is at fault here, but lets not give away the combination incase of someone bruteforcing $errors[] = lang("ACCOUNT_USER_OR_PASS_INVALID"); } else { //Passwords match! we're good to go' //Construct a new logged in user object //Transfer some db data to the session object $loggedInUser = new loggedInUser(); $loggedInUser->email = $userdetails["Email"]; $loggedInUser->user_id = $userdetails["User_ID"]; $loggedInUser->hash_pw = $userdetails["Password"]; $loggedInUser->display_username = $userdetails["Username"]; $loggedInUser->clean_username = $userdetails["Username_Clean"]; $loggedInUser->remember_me = $remember_choice; $loggedInUser->remember_me_sessid = generateHash(uniqid(rand(), true)); //Update last sign in $loggedInUser->updateLastSignIn(); if($loggedInUser->remember_me == 0) $_SESSION["userCakeUser"] = $loggedInUser; else if($loggedInUser->remember_me == 1) { $db->sql_query("INSERT INTO ".$db_table_prefix."Sessions VALUES('".time()."', '".serialize($loggedInUser)."', '".$loggedInUser->remember_me_sessid."')"); setcookie("userCakeUser", $loggedInUser->remember_me_sessid, time()+parseLength($remember_me_length)); } //Redirect to user account page header("Location: account.php"); die(); } } } } } if(!isUserLoggedIn()) {?><form name="newUser" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post"> <table> <tr> <td> <label>Username:</label> </td> <td> <input type="text" name="username" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <label>Password:</label> </td> <td> <input type="password" name="password" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <label> </label> <input type="submit" value="Login" class="submit"/> </td> <td> <input type="checkbox" name="remember_me" value="1" /> <label style="font-size:12px">Remember Me?</label> </td> </tr> </table> <div style="text-align:center;"> <a href="register.php" class="info">Register</a> | <a href="forgot-password.php" class="info">Forgot Password?</a> </div> </form><?php } else{?><h1>Welcome <?php echo $loggedInUser->display_username; ?> </h1> <br/> <a href="account.php" class="info">Dashboard</a> | <a href="logout.php" class="info">Logout</a><?php } ?> Hy! I have 3 files: file 1 (index.php) includes 2 files: file2.php and file3.php File2.php contains $aditionalStuff and in file3.php I want to use $aditionalStuff, but it wont work (like it wasn't initialized). How can I make this work? index.php include "file2.php"; include "file3.php"; file2.php $aditionalStuff = 'some stuff'; file3.php echo $aditionalStuff; Thanks! I hope that subject made sense! I have a page where I want to generate page-specific keywords automatically. Actually I have some general keywords stored in a text file and then I add the page-specific ones after those. The problem is, however, solely caused by the keywords I pull from my text file. A "1" is added to my list of keywords. Consider a news page like so: news.php // ... <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta name="keywords" content="<?php require('php/generateKeywordList.php'); ?>" /> </head> // ... And then generateKeywordList.php // I have omitted the part with the page-specific keywords, because it is not what causes the problem (commented it all out) set_include_path('/mypath/'); $str = require_once('includes/websiteKeywords.txt'); echo $str; // For some reason, the number 1 is added at the end of this string websiteKeywords.txt (it doesn't matter what I put in there) Code: [Select] these, are, my, keywords, for, my, website In my meta tag, the above would be displayed as: Code: [Select] these, are, my, keywords, for, my, website1 I then tried to make a simple php page like this $keywords = require('includes/websiteKeywords.txt'); echo $keywords; ... and it worked. At the moment I have absolutely no idea where the number 1 comes from. So, basically if I include the keywords directly from the text file into my meta tag, it displays fine. If I make a simple php page where I echo out the keywords from the text file, it displays fine. But if I include my php script, which echos the keywords, into my meta tag, the number 1 is added at the end of the string. Am I completely missing something here or is this extremely strange? Thanks for any help! Hi, Im in trouble with a script. Mainly the problem is that the declared value is not reachable. lets sai i have main.php file where i declare that $user_id = '22'; and then i include a file that needs to get that value to work include('somescript.php'); now when i go over to the somescript.php i write at the top that print $user_id; and i get nothing. What am i doing wrong? Hello: I have this code in an included file: myNav.php Code: [Select] function spLeftMenu() { $spLeftMenu = " <p> <div id=\"myLeftNavPaper\"> <img src=\"images/sidePaperTop.png\" alt=\"\" /> <div id=\"myLeftNavPaper2\"> echo \". $mySideBarPageData .\" </div> <img src=\"images/sidePaperBottom.png\" alt=\"\" /> </div> </p> "; return $spLeftMenu; } I can not get: Code: [Select] echo \". $mySideBarPageData .\" To display the results on this page: Page.php Code: [Select] <html> ... <?php echo spLeftMenu(); ?> ... </html> What am I missing ?? Hi, I'm trying to write myself a tiny MVC framework and having some trouble: Code: [Select] <?php class One { public function main ( ) { $var = 'Hello'; include ( 'file.php' ); } } ?>file.php: Code: [Select] <?php echo $var; ?>This doesn't work. Is there any way without setting that variable to global, to reach it like that? Hi All, I'm trying to secure my web app which is currently in development, and came across this issue. I have a header.php and footer.php page which are included to every page, with the content in the middle. The problem is, if you visit header.php then it displays the header, with some blank text. What is the best way to protect this - i.e., if visited directly, it re-directs to index.php etc. My initial thought is to set a $happylink on each page and in the header and footer, checking basically doing the following if (isset($happylink) && !empty($happylink)) { blah blah; } else { Header("Location: index.php"); } Would that be the best way? Is there something easier? I have obviouslt done something wrong for I get the following errors/warnings when running a simple script:- Warning: include(/var/www/www.stockton.co.za/doc/kiosk/includes/body-background.inc) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/www.stockton.co.za/doc/kiosk/MostRecent.php on line 10 Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/var/www/www.stockton.co.za/doc/kiosk/includes/body-background.inc' for inclusion (include_path='/var/www/www.stockton.co.za/doc/kiosk/includes') in /var/www/www.stockton.co.za/doc/kiosk/MostRecent.php on line 10 Warning: include(includes/error-handler.inc) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/www.stockton.co.za/doc/kiosk/MostRecent.php on line 11 Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'includes/error-handler.inc' for inclusion (include_path='/var/www/www.stockton.co.za/doc/kiosk/includes') in /var/www/www.stockton.co.za/doc/kiosk/MostRecent.php on line 11 Warning: include(includes/get-input.inc) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/www.stockton.co.za/doc/kiosk/MostRecent.php on line 12 Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'includes/get-input.inc' for inclusion (include_path='/var/www/www.stockton.co.za/doc/kiosk/includes') in /var/www/www.stockton.co.za/doc/kiosk/MostRecent.php on line 12 Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in /var/www/www.stockton.co.za/doc/kiosk/MostRecent.php on line 14 this from the code :- Code: [Select] <?php ini_set('include_path', dirname(__FILE__) .'/includes'); // require_once(dirname(__FILE__) .

This with Apache2 on Ubuntu 10.4 and php 5.3. Does a Session's scope carry over to included files? Let's say I have a file "index.php" and it has a Session. If "index.php" includes a file called "header.inc.php", does the scope of the Session in "index.php" carry over to the included header? For instance, could I check $_SESSION['LoggedIn'] in "header.inc.php"? Debbie Hey! I have a small code where I want to check if one variable matches the other when the other is sent through a function. The function, for practical reasons, is included with a separate PHP-file. And I cant seem to apply a variable to the function which processes the other variable. Its really wierd to me. Here is the code for the main PHP-file: Code: [Select] <?php include 'function.php'; $unformatted = "FORMATTING AY ..."; $formatted1 = "formattingay..."; $formatted2 = test_format($unformatted); if ($formatted1 == $formatted2) { echo "Success, formatted!"; } else { echo "Fail, unformatted."; } ?> And here is the code for "function.php": Code: [Select] <?php function test_format($var) { strtolower(str_replace(array(" "), array(""), $var)); } ?> Does anybody have a clue to why this simply wont work? Any answers and help is highly appreciated! Say I have... Code: [Select] <? echo("do something"); include("include_file.php"); echo("do something else"); ?> include_file.php Code: [Select] <? $a_$string = "a string"; echo($a_string); ?> I have put an error in the include_file.php an extra $ in the variable name. The first script would kick up an error that there is a problem with file include_file.php as line 3 or what ever the line may be. How can I have it so I can choose what the error message is, say a cryptic code and the line number without having the file names show as this is showing up my hidden includes folder and the file name which means that someone may try to visit this page alone and this can cause security issues. Adding in extra lines to every file to see if it is being use correctly a bit like sessions is not an option although I have looked at it as I have houndreds of files to alter in this case. I have just tried this instead of the top script but I does not show the secret code on error Code: [Select] <? echo("top"); @include("dummy.php") or die("secreterrorcode123"); echo("bottom"); ?> I have created a script (single file) that works fine when testing it alone, but when included it doesn't and rest of page is blank. What could cause this? Is this because of some "mismatch" between the queries, variables used on the included file and the existing file? Hi, My issue here is that I cant get my if/else statement to work on my secondary page. I include my secondary page (fine.php) from my index page. However, I have an if/else statement in fine.php that keeps reverting back to the index.php and, therefore, outputs the else statement (404.php) here is the if/else on index.php (these links work fine): <?php if($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']=='/index.php' || $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']=='') { include 'port.php'; } elseif (isset($_GET['pos'])){ include 'pos.php'; } elseif (isset($_GET['web'])){ include 'web.php'; } elseif (isset($_GET['fine'])){ include 'fine.php'; } else {include '404.php';} here is the if/else on my secondary page (fine.php). These links are supposed to alert the if/else in the next table cell. However, they instead alert the if/else in index.php. <td><br/> <a href="?backset"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-backset.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/> <a href="?backside"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-backside.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/> <a href="?bannerprint"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-bannerprint.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/> <a href="?chopu"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-chopu.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/> </td> <td><br/> <div id="DivPiece" align="left"> <?PHP if (isset($_GET['backset'])){ include 'fine/backset.php'; } elseif (isset($_GET['backside'])){ include 'fine/backside.php'; } elseif (isset($_GET['bannerprint'])){ include 'fine/bannerprint.php'; } elseif (isset($_GET['chopu'])){ include 'fine/chopu.php'; } ?> </div> </td> How can I get the links on the secondary page to only alert the if/else statement on that page, and BLOCK the if/else statement on index.php from seeing them? I still want to use the query string though. Thanks! Hello. Trying to learn MVC better by creating my own little framework to understand how it works. Things were going OK til now. I have a base class: <?php /** * Base class most classes will extend from. * Simply put, this class just has methods that * most, if not all, classes will need. */ class Application { public function includer($path) { if (is_readable($path) == true) { include_once($path); } else { die("404 not found =["); } } } ?> So the above method 'includer' just sees if a file exists/is readable and if so, include it. Here's where I am using said method. class Index extends Application { function __construct($method = 'view') { // load the index model include(ROOT . '/app/models/model.index.php'); // Invoke requested method. $this->$method(); } public function view() { $name = 'Smith'; $this->includer(ROOT . '/app/views/view.index.php'); # Problem here, i think } } view.index.php just contains <?php echo $name; ?> All that is called from the index page, with this line of code Application::includer($controller_path); Now, in line $this->includer(ROOT . '/app/views/view.index.php'); # Problem here, i think If i get rid of $this->includer, the script will work and say 'Smith'. If i have $this->includer(...) or parent::includer(...), it doesn't work. why? Main script gets class information from a database and prints them so long as the class start date or end date is after today (actually includes today).
Main script calls "instructors.php". It queries another database based on the instructor name ($chef) and then prints the bio information for that instructor.
"instructors.php" works fine on it's own, when I add "$chef = "Chef Name" ("Chef Name" is in the Instructors database). When it's called from the main script, nothing shows up in that area - even though "Chef Name" is in the database. All of the other data is printed fine, just not anything from instructors.php. I verified that it's actually including the file, as I can add "echo "test";" to the top of instructors.php and it prints fine in the main script.
Any ideas of what I'm missing?

If I have it directly on my page, it works fine. But if I move this snippet of code into an include file and use "require_once('thefile.php');", the code no longer works properly. How is that possible? FYI, this snippet is in the middle of a for loop on the regular page. Maybe you can't use includes when in a loop? I don't know. Makes no sense that it works when on the page, but not when included using require once. Any thoughts how this could be possible? I imagine there is some rule with include files that I'm missing??? This is the code and I don't think it matters exactly what its doing so I won't bother you with that. This is how it looks on the page itself...
