PHP - $_server['php_self'] Inside An Echo Statement?

everytime i go to login or register on my site
i get this in the URL:http://localhost/%3C?$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?%3E

<form class="form" action="<?$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">

I have a code built in, which is in my localhost and connects to an external database. I have set my connections right, and when I try to login via the page, after pressing submit, my url changes to
localhost/<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?action=validate

And I get this displayed.

where validate is for validating. Any help?

I am just setting up a db to catch user info on my site. After some testing all is working except that when I use Safari, my log wrongly shows that I am using Firefox. I have been scanning the web for a solution but all workarounds I have found seem to be very out of date. Can anyone help with this? here is the code I am using:

Code: [Select]
//logs user info to db
$browser = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$time = $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'];
$refer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$pageQuery = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

I successfully build a form, and I have a few echo's which will echo out error messages when an input box is left empty.

The echo messages used to be on the same page while I was using PHP_SELF, now that I've separated the script from the form it will now be shown on a new empty page and the user has to use the browser's navigators to navigate back. I'd still like to keep my script from the form separated for read-ability reasons, but I'd also like to have the echo messages outputted on the same page as the form.

How can I do that?

I'm a newbie, so excuse this basic question.


P.S.
If somebody can give me a tip how to position the echo messages in the design, I'd appreciate it a lot, because it sometimes messes up the design.

Hello

I have a from that updates a few things in the db, and uses "<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>".

The form does update everything fine, however that page does not reflect it. If I refresh the page manually
I can see the new values.

Is this a common thing, and can anything be done to fix this?

I'm having issues with the following:

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['username']=$_POST['username'];
$_SESSION['password']=$_POST['password'];

I can log-in, and get to the page with the two links on it. However, once I click one of the links it falls back to the log-in page, and it ends up being a never ending loop.

It's doing this:
Log-In --> Page with links ---> Log-In page again

Should be doing this:
Log-In --> Page with links --> Add Product page or View Products page

I can never get into the the actual sub page.

Just to be clear, the address bar actually shows product=add or product=view, but it still shows the log-in page.

Welcome member. I am able to get data added to my db and when it gets to the welcome page I want it to welcome $firstname but it comes up blank. How can I fix my echo statement.

I am having a problem echoing a line of code.  I am doing this on my local machine.  Anyway, here are the to files involved...

home.php
<?php
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/helpers.inc.php';

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/doctype.inc.php';

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/head.inc.php';
?>

</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<!-- start horizontal navigation -->
<?php
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/topnav.inc.php';
?>
<!-- end horizontal navigation -->
<div id="content">
<h1><?php echo htmlout($cattitle); ?></h1>
<span class="desc"><?php echo ($catdesc); ?></span>

<?php
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/info.php';
?>



</div>

<!-- start footer -->
<?php
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/footer.inc.php';
?>
<!-- end footer -->
</div>
</body>
</html>

and

info.php
<?php

$result = mysqli_query($link, 'SELECT * From includes where catid  ='.$_GET['id']);
if (!$result)
{
$error = 'Error getting categories: ' . mysqli_error($link);
include 'error.php';
exit();
}

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
$inc[] = array('id' => $row['id'], 'include' => $row['include'], 'inc_orderby' => $row['inc_orderby'], 'inc_avail' => $row['inc_avail']);
}

foreach ($inc as $include):
{
echo "include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/' . $row['include'];";
}
endforeach;
  
?>

I can't get the echo statement at the bottom of info.php
echo "include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/' . $row['include'];";
 to show up correctly on the home.php page in this spot.
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/info.php';

what i am attempting to do is loop through some additional information relevant to the page a user selects on the site and display it. (I still have to set up some qualifying statements but this was just the first step to see if anything would show up)

This is the parse error I get. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\info.php on line 18

I've tried messing with the quotes in the echo statement cause I'm sure they aren't right but I never came up with a quote combination that worked.  I'm assuming that is the problem.  Anyway thanks for taking a look.

So I need to echo a row from my database with php, but where i need to echo is already inside an echo. This is my part of my code:


$con = mysql_connect("$host","$username","$password");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("main", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Vendor");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
//I need to echo right here  .................. but I get a blank page when I try this. Please Help.
  echo '<option value=$row['vendor_id']>'; echo $row['vendor_id']; echo '</option>';
  }

mysql_close($con);

Result: A Blank page.
Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to echo php inside php? Im guessing not because you are already inside php but there must be a way round my problem.

What I would like to do is if the url has project = something then echo <?php require "footer.php"; ?> if not dont echo anything.

What is the best way to go about doing this ?

Hello,

I need to add rel="..." in the first part of the script but it is not working,

below is the script:

Code: [Select]
echo " <a href='products/".$image[$abc]."' target='_blank'><img border=0 src='products/thumbs2/".$image[$abc]."' /></a>";

Thank you,

how can i put an if statement inside an echo this is what i want to do
Code: [Select]
<?php
echo "<li> <a  class='thumb' href='../images/Sections/pinkpanthers/" . $year . "/" . $sessions . "/" . $day . "/" . $y . ".jpg' title=''>
<img src='../images/Sections/pinkpanthers/" . $year . "/" . $sessions . "/" . $day . "/thumbs/" . $y . ".jpg ' /></a><div class='caption'>
<div class='download'><a href='../images/Sections/pinkpanthers/" . $year . "/" . $sessions . "/" . $day . "/big/" . $y . ".jpg ' target='_blank' />Download</a>
</div><div class='image-desc'>" . if ($count == 1){echo "<a href='tag.php?tag=$name'" . $name . ">" . $name . "</a>";}if ($count > 1){$z = 0;$w = $count - 1;while ($z <= $w){$p = $multi[$z];echo "<a href='tag.php?tag=$p'" . $p . ">" . $p . "</a>";$z++;}} . "</div></div></li>";
?>
all the code works wright up until i added the if statements in the last little bit

I am using the Twitch API to tell if a user is live. I'm new to the Twitch API and PhP so please forgive me if I make any mistakes. Expand the Spoiler tags below to see the code. The code below SHOULD be telling me if a channel is not live or not. It tells me if they are live, but not if they are not live. I don't understand.   Spoiler

<?php

    if (!empty($_GET['channel']))

    {

        $channel = $_GET['channel'];

        $dataArray = json_decode(@file_get_contents('https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?channel='.$channel), true);

        

        foreach ((array) $dataArray['streams'] as $mydata)

        {

            if (!empty($mydata['_id']))

            {

                echo "Channel is live<br><br>";

                

                $uptime = $mydata['created_at'];

                $uptime = str_replace("Z", "UTC", $uptime);

                $uptime = preg_replace("/T/", "", $uptime, 1);

                echo "Twitch Uptime: ".$uptime."<br />";

                

                date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

                $localUptime = date('Y-m-dh:i:sT', time());

                echo "UTC Local Time: ".$localUptime;

            }

            else

            {

                echo "Channel is not live";

            }

        }

    } else {

        echo "No channel";

    }
