PHP - Php System() Not Responding Correctly

I've been challenging myself to get the system() argument working for the past hour and something. I still can't get it working so I ask for assistance.

system ("cp /var/www/http/test.com/products/".$fordir['fordir']."/".$category['category']."/".$_POST['id']." /home/n/Documents/My\ Sites/test.com\ codebase");

The error log doesn't say anything, so I suspect that PHP is not even attempting to parse the code.

Can anyone spot something that shouldn't be the way it is?

Hi im pretty new to php but I was following a tutorial for a commenting system and implemented it onto my blog page. Anyway the problem I have is that as you go down the page each blog post displays its own comments  + the comments for the posts above it. I have checked the database and the data seems to link the correct comments to the correct posts so I am confused to why this is happening. I have looked over my code and cant seem to find a problem (probably because I suck!).

Here is the code for the blog page...

Code: [Select]

Why won't this code work when register_globals is turned off (works fine when register_globals is on though).

<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost","un","pw");
mysql_select_db("the_db");

$username = $_POST['usernamex'];
$surname = $_POST['surname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];

$result =sprintf("SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE username ='%s' || email = '%s'", mysql_real_escape_string($username), mysql_real_escape_string($email));
$resultfin = mysql_query($result);
if (mysql_num_rows ($resultfin) > 0){
$register = "Retry.";
echo($register);
} else {
$go =sprintf("INSERT INTO tbl (username, email, surname) VALUES ('%s', '%s', '%s'", mysql_real_escape_string($username), mysql_real_escape_string($email), mysql_real_escape_string($surname));
$resultg = mysql_query($go);
$register = "Successful.";
echo($register);
}
?>

Hi all   I am using media queries in my css to create a responsive site, when I view the site on a mobile, the site responds as I intend it to.   However if I view it on a desktop and resize the screen, it doesn't respond as I would like, the idea is, if I resize  the desktop version enough then I will view the mobile version.   in one css file I have  

 
@media screen and(max-width: 1024px) {
 
css styles
 
}

  and then on another file, I have the following, the idea with this is when I get below the specified screen size the items don't show  

@media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {
 
}

  if you need any more info let me know.   Thanks   Mark
