PHP - Session On Localhost Vs Webserver

First thing: I formatted my drive today and fresh installs of Apache2, PHP5 and MariaDB on Linux Mint 17.1. No files have been messed with. Not one.    I created info.php and placed it in var/www dir. The file consists of one line:  <?php phpinfo(); ?>   When I run it our of my web editor (Bluefish), instead of showing me on my web browser the PHP info page that's suppose to show, I get:  <?php phpinfo(); ?>   I've been fighting this for two days! Done everything suggested by many others online...and that's why I had to scrub my drive; forgot all the files I augmented.   Does anyone know why my PHP files behave this way? I'd love to start working with PHP, but I can't until whatever's broken is fixed. Any ideas? Any suggestions? I'm at my wit's end with this.   Landslyde

Hi guys, I have a website that I created and it has the ability to upload images to a directory that is located in the same web server, but there are so many images now and it is taking too much space. What I am trying to do now is for the script to upload the images to a different server but don't want to run FTP on that second server if I don't need to. Does anyone know how I can do that?

Thank you guys in advanced,

Hi all,

I am having trouble in getting my search facility to work on a web server. Currently when I run the website on my local server using WAMP it works fine and retrieves all the results contained in the database but it does not retrieve any results when uploaded to a web server. I'm currently using Heart Internet if this helps.

Below is the code I have used for the search facility:

Code: [Select]

<?php
// this script searches for matches on the posted search string in courses, modules tables.

$searchstr = $_POST['search'];
$trimmedstr = trim($searchstr); //trim whitespace from the stored variable

echo "<h2 id='homecol'>Searching for... &quot;".$trimmedstr."&quot;</h2><hr class='homecols' />";

//Build SQL search queries
//search courses table
$queryProd = "SELECT * FROM courses WHERE courseTitle LIKE \"%$trimmedstr%\" OR courseDescription LIKE \"%$trimmedstr%\" OR courseCode LIKE \"%$trimmedstr%\"ORDER BY courseTitle";
$numresultsProd=mysql_query($queryProd);
$numrowsProd=mysql_num_rows($numresultsProd);
// echo "results found for courses: ".$numrowsProd."<br>"; // test code

//search modules table
$queryCat = "SELECT * FROM modules WHERE moduleTitle LIKE \"%$trimmedstr%\" OR moduleSummary LIKE \"%$trimmedstr%\" OR moduleCode LIKE \"%$trimmedstr%\"ORDER BY moduleTitle";
$numresultsCat=mysql_query($queryCat);
$numrowsCat=mysql_num_rows($numresultsCat);
// echo "results found for modules: ".$numrowsCat."<br>"; //test code




// If no results found, offer google search as alternative or back to home page
if ($numrowsProd + $numrowsCat == 0)
{
  echo "<h3>Results:</h3><br>";
  echo "<p>Sorry, we could not find any results for: &quot;".$trimmedstr."&quot;</p>";

// google
 echo "<p><a href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=".$trimmedstr."\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Look up".$trimmedstr." on Google\">
 Click here to search on google instead</a> or Return to our <a href='../home.php'>Home Page</a></p>";
}

else //list search results
{
  if($numrowsProd >0) // list results fromcourses
  {
  $resultProd = mysql_query($queryProd) or die("Couldn't execute query");

// begin ordered list
echo "<h3><strong>Results from Courses:</strong></h3><p><ol>";
$countProd = 1;

// display the results returned
   while ($rowProd= mysql_fetch_array($resultProd)) {
$courseCode = $rowProd["courseCode"];
   $title = $rowProd["courseTitle"];
$prodID = $rowProd["courseID"];
$descProd = $rowProd["courseDescription"];




   echo "<p><li><a href='../department/courseselect.php?pid=$prodID'>$title</a> - $descProd</li></p>";
   $countProd++ ;
   }
echo "</ol></p>";
  }
  
  if($numrowsCat >0) // and/or list results from modules
  {
  $resultCat = mysql_query($queryCat) or die("Couldn't execute query");

// begin ordered list
echo "&nbsp;<h3>Results from Modules:</h3><p><ol>";
$countCat = 1;

// display the results returned
   while ($rowCat= mysql_fetch_array($resultCat)) {
$moduleCode = $rowCat["moduleCode"];
   $catName = $rowCat["moduleTitle"];
$catID = $rowCat["moduleID"];
$descCat = $rowCat["moduleSummary"];

   echo "<p><li><a href='../department/module_detail.php?pid=$catID'>$catName</a> - $descCat</li></p>";
   $countCat++ ;
}
echo "</ol></p>";
  }
 

echo "<p>Please click on either the course or module to view further information</p>";
}

?>

Hi, my school say not to use XAMPP, and I already have PHP installed, MySQL installed, Apache I am not sure, but assuming if I have it installed, how do I connect to localhost b/c beforer when I use XAMPP, the default for where to get php/mysql running was: C:\xampp\htdocs\

Please any help appreciated!

I'm looking to connect to a MySQL localhost on my mac. I've been working for a few hours at this and I still can't figure it out.

Below is my code. I've tried a number of different ways to connect to the database including using new mysqli, mysql_connect and PEAR MDB2. Any suggestions as to what I can do? Thanks in advance.
 

<?php

$first=$_POST['first'];
$last=$_POST['last'];

if (!$first || !$last) {
echo 'Error: Enter the required data.';
exit;
}

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
    $first = addslashes($first);
    $last = addslashes($last);
}

$hostname = 'localhost:8889';
$username = 'root';
$password = 'root';
$dbname = 'phonebook';

@ $db = new mysqli($hostname,$username.$password,$dbname);

if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
echo 'Errer: Could not connect to database';
exit;
}
echo '.....Connected Successfuly';

$query = "insert into contact values 
 ('null','".$first."','".$last."')";
$result = $db->query($query);

if ($result) {
echo $db->affected_rows." contact inserted into the database";
echo 'Contact Entered:  '.$first.' '.$last.'';
}
else {
echo 'Error: Contact not added.';
exit;
}

$db->close();

?>

I've installed Drupal 7.1 on my computer and I'm trying to access it via localhost.  However, the site does not load the "index.php" file.  Instead, I get the list of files and folders in the working directory with the heading "Index of /drupal71" (drupal71 is the temporary site name).

The .htaccess file has the following lines, so I'm confused as to why index.php doesn't load automatically.
Code: [Select]
# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
Any suggestions?

Hi, would like to know if there is any way to send email using localhost? is it possible and how can i do it?
