PHP - Installing Wampserver

Please help.   The latest Wampserver (64 bits & PHP 5.5) 2.5 requires authentication on SourceForge before you can open phpmyadmin.   Does anyone know why is this required. I blocked access to the internet and phpmyadmin would not start.   Any ideas?   Thanks

Hello,

I have encountered a problem and I am not even sure it's stricty PHP-related. The problem is with website I want to migrate to a better hosting provider and I also have to edit the code to make it PHP 5 compatible.

I have a news editing panel that uses FCKEditor. There are 3 fields: date, news title, and news text. The first two are OK, but the textarea is empty and non-editable, i.e. I cannot click in it to put the cursor inside.

The problem only exists on my local Wampserver (PHP 5.3.0). When I upload all the files to the old hosting server (PHP 5.2.5) the textarea is editable.

Here is the code that loads the news editing page:
<?php

class page extends admin{

function page(){

if(isset($_GET['do'])) {
if($_GET['do']=='del'){
mysql_query("DELETE FROM news WHERE id = '$_GET[id]'");
mysql_query("DELETE FROM news_text WHERE parent = '$_GET[id]'");
$this->loc("?nav=news");
}

if(!empty($_POST['date'])){
$sql="UPDATE news SET ".$this->post_insert(array("date"))." WHERE id = '$_GET[id]'";
mysql_query($sql);
echo $sql;
$parent=$_GET['id'];

//insert lang values
$this->update_langs("news_text",array("name","content"),$parent);
$this->loc();
}
}
}

// Sub menu Buttos
var $sub_menus=array(
array("&#1057;&#1087;&#1080;&#1089;&#1098;&#1082; &#1085;&#1086;&#1074;&#1080;&#1085;&#1080;","news"),
array("&#1044;&#1086;&#1073;&#1072;&#1074;&#1080; &#1085;&#1086;&#1074;&#1080;&#1085;&#1072;","add_news")
);

//Sub menu generation
function sub_menu(){
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($this->sub_menus);$i++){
echo "<li><a href=\"?nav=".$this->sub_menus[$i][1]."\">".$this->sub_menus[$i][0]."</a></li>";
}
}

// Language form template
function lang_form($name,$id){
echo '
<fieldset>
<legend>'.$name.'</legend>
<div class="line"><label>&#1048;&#1084;&#1077;: </label> 
<input name="name_'.$id.'" class="text" style="width:450px;" 
value="'.$this->get_sql_value("SELECT * FROM news_text WHERE parent='$_GET[id]' AND lang='$id'","name").'" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="line"><label>&#1057;&#1098;&#1076;&#1098;&#1088;&#1078;&#1072;&#1085;&#1080;&#1077;: </label></div>';
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('content_'.$id);
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = 'includes/fckeditor/';
$oFCKeditor->Height= '500px';
$oFCKeditor->Value= $this->get_sql_value("SELECT * FROM news_text WHERE parent = '$_GET[id]' AND lang='$id'","content");
$oFCKeditor->Create();
echo'
</fieldset>';
}

}

$p=new page();
?>

<div id="left">
<ul>
<li><h1>&#1054;&#1087;&#1094;&#1080;&#1080;:</h1></li>
<?php echo $p->sub_menu(); ?>
</ul>
</div>

<div id="center">
<h1>Amalipe.com / &#1040;&#1076;&#1084;&#1080;&#1085;&#1080;&#1089;&#1090;&#1088;&#1072;&#1094;&#1080;&#1103; / &#1053;&#1086;&#1074;&#1080;&#1085;&#1080; / &#1056;&#1077;&#1076;&#1072;&#1082;&#1094;&#1080;&#1103; &#1085;&#1072; &#1085;&#1086;&#1074;&#1080;&#1085;&#1072;</h1>

<div class="line"><label>&#1044;&#1072;&#1090;&#1072;: </label> 
<input name="date" class="text" type="text" value="<?php echo $p->get_value("news","date"); ?>" /></div>
</fieldset>
<?php $p->lang_forms(); ?>

</form>
</div>

The encoded characters you see in the code are Cyrillic names.

At first I thought this had something to do with the FCKEditor version so I upgraded it to the last one (FCKeditor_2.6.6) but nothing changed.

On my local Wampserver I have two PHP versions - 5.2.9-2 and 5.3.0 - neither works. I have also added 5.2.5 to see if this changes anything but no, it doesn't - the textarea is still empty and non-editable.

I hope I can get some help!

Hello   I have being using MAMP for php I am now trying out symfony framework.    I am trying to install it i do everything the website says but when I  come to test the url it don't work says can't connect to server.   I don't think php is enabled on my iMac    wondering if anyone can help me install the framework   thanks

Hi there,
I wonder if anyone can help me. I'm trying to install smarty. The problem I'm having is in choosing the correct path directory for-

require('/usr/local/lib/php/Smarty/Smarty.class.php');

Granted I am relatively new to coding.

I've tried using-

<?php echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; ?>

which returns-  /usr/local/apache/htdocs

I think the problem is in understanding what my local directory is. In my ftp program, the first folder looks like this

firstfolder/
     public_html/  (  < I've installed smarty in this one)
     DO_NOT_UPLOAD_HERE.txt

When I run a test file index.php, I get the following error-

Warning: require() [function.require]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/local/public_html/lib/php/Smarty/Smarty.class.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/:/usr/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/a4808331/public_html/index.php on line 4

What I've put in my index.php file so far which I'm sure is wrong is-

require('/usr/local/public_html/lib/php/Smarty/Smarty.class.php');


If you need more info I'd be happy to supply.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have mysql installed.  I have just installed myphpadmin and put it in IIS root.  When I go to myphpadmin default page it cannot run the scripts.

I need to install php I guess, but really have very little idea.  Did some searching, but had some difficulty, what is the quickest and easiest way to install php to support my just installed myphpadmin?
