PHP - Moved: Php Localhost Vs Network Ip

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();

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

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?

this problem really drives me crazy..hope that anyone could help.

I left my page only with
<?php
session_start();
?>
with no script at all..and i still got error

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at E:\Program Files\XAMPP 1.5.4\xampp\htdocs\folder\page1.php:1) in E:\Program Files\XAMPP 1.5.4\xampp\htdocs\folder\page1.php on line 2

No white space at all. I tried to upload this file into the server (not local) and no error appeared. but when i run it in my local server, error appeared.

I restart my xampp so many times but still didn't fix this.

what's the problem then?

thanks in advance

Hello,
I am trying to create a registration module where an email would be sent to the user after registration.
I am using xampp and have tried php mailer
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/files/phpmailer%20for%20php4/0.90/
but couldn't get it to work...
I've been told that it is possible to send an email from localhost through smtp...
I need to know how to accomplish that. Am a beginner.
suggestions and help would be appreciated

Hi, I still a noob in PHP programming I hope somebody in the forum can help me and give an ideas how to fixed to this problem,

everytime I run localhost this message appear:

ErrorException in Builder.php line 1023:count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable

But if I type localhost/(anycharacter) the page appear but with error 404(kindly refer to image, all other buttons are working except the one indicated with the arrow( kindly refer on the last image, note: app_debug set to true), this problem keeps bugging me for a few weeks now that I still cannot find a way to fixed it. Thank you in advance.

I seem to be seeing a problem I havent noticed before
when I use header for a redirect the session data passes to the new page
when I use href it seems as though even when I do a session_start() on the new page
the session data doesnt pass

Is this normal or is there a setup issue on my server (bluehost)

everything works fine on wamp but when i upload to implement it no good

I am using this to generate PDF reports using fpdf, I want it to open a new page instead of just redirecting

Is it that it is unable to pass the data to a new page on a server??

I have a Login Script with a Remember me Function. The Script works flawlessly on my local server but when I upload it doesn't work on my web server.

From what I can tell its a Session issue, When I log in, I make a session with the user ID, in which is used to pull all there information on other pages. On my local host it makes the sessions and everything is dandy, but on the web server it doesn't seem to make the session. 

Can anyone shed any light on this, I'm clueless once again ^_^

Hi,

I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to PHP. I'm a thirs year music/music tech student and for my disseration I took a very ambitious task. I want to create a sort of social networking site for musicians. But I wanted to create it dynamically using PHP and MySQL. I want to basically allow users to register and sign up with their details basically. But the first problem I came across was actually making a custom registration page,  I wanted things such as post codes (zip codes) so that I would then have a Google Maps overlay showing where users were. So that you could 'see' you local music 'scene'.
So far I've been playing around with Joomla, Drupal and WordPress. I tried writing the PHP from scratch but after following various tutorials, but I had no luck what-so-ever with that approach. So I started using content management systems, which got me a lot closer, but I found I couldn't really edit custom registration pages etc. And the I would have no idea how to get the Google maps idea working.
If anyone could nudge me in the right direction and give me a few tips and ideas as to how I'm most likely to achieve this then please reply, I would be highly grateful for you responses.

Thanks,

Ewan Valentine.

Hi all, I am trying to create a socket that can read from and write to a client. This is my first attempt at it and the code in question is based more or less on a python script a friend sent me as well as some php tutorials google supplied. The problem is (and this seems to be a reoccurring one) when I run it from the command line Code: [Select]
php -q server.php nothing visibly happens. Can anyone see what the problem might be?

Code: [Select]
<?php

$host = "localhost";
$port = 50007;

set_time_limit(0); // no timeout

$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die("Could not create socket\n"); // create

$result = socket_bind($socket, $host, $port) or die("Could not bind to socket\n"); // bind

$result = socket_listen($socket, 3) or die("Could not set up socket listener\n"); // listen

echo "Waiting for connections...\n";

$contact = socket_accept($socket) or die("Could not accept incoming connection\n"); // accept

$input = socket_read($contact, 1024) or die("Could not read input\n"); // read

$input = trim($input); // clean

$output = "Greetings, you have connected to a socket.\n";
socket_write($contact, $output, strlen ($output)) or die("Could not write output\n"); // return

socket_close($contact); // close socket
socket_close($socket); // close socket

I have a PHP app that I wrote that requires a new IP address each time that it is run. Currently I use Tor on my desktop and the Vidalia app to change the Tor identity each time I run the script but I want to automate this. Can anyone help with switching Tor identities with PHP? Essentially after my script runs I need to call a function that switches to a new Tor identity.

I have the following code but it doesn't seem to work, and I am not sure why. I am running this from XAMPP on OSX, Tor is running locally (client not server)... in my Tor settings I have 127.0.0.1 and port 9051, set to "no password"...

Code: [Select]
<?php
function tor_new_identity($tor_ip='127.0.0.1', $control_port='9051', $auth_code='') {
$fp = fsockopen($tor_ip, $control_port, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
return false; //can't connect to the control port
}

fputs($fp, "AUTHENTICATE $auth_code\r\n");
$response = fread($fp, 1024);

list($code, $text) = explode(' ', $response, 2);
if ($code != '250') {
return false; //authentication failed
}

//send the request to for new identity
fputs($fp, "signal NEWNYM\r\n");
$response = fread($fp, 1024);
list($code, $text) = explode(' ', $response, 2);
if ($code != '250') {
return false; //signal failed
}

fclose($fp);
return true;
}

tor_new_identity();
?>

$download will print on the screen on my localhost, but once I've uploaded it to my host and go to the website, everything else prints to the screen fine, but $download will not. When I view page source, shows nothing where $download should be.

$link_pattern = "/<tr><td><a(.*)<\/tr>/sU"; 

preg_match_all($link_pattern,$cr,$dm);
$downloads = $dm[0][0];
$pattern = '/src=\"/';
$replacement = 'src="http://www.triplestarent.com/images';
$download = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $downloads);

hello.

i want to create an oop website on my localhost but im having trouble getting the initialize file to find my config file.

if i point my browser to my local host my index page works fine because it does not need the initialize file at this stage, but if i point my browser to my admin index (http://localhost/djsonrotation/admin/) i get this error

Quote

Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/djsonrotation/includes/initialize.php on line 9

Warning: require_once(http://localhost/djsonrotation/config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/djsonrotation/includes/initialize.php on line 9

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'http://localhost/djsonrotation/config.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/php5/lib/php') in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/djsonrotation/includes/initialize.php on line 9





the initialize file is basically 1 place that points to lots of different places and mine looks like this:
Code: [Select]
<?PHP
defined('DS') ? null : define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
defined('SITE_DOMAIN') ? null : define('SITE_DOMAIN', 'http://localhost/djsonrotation');
defined('SITE_ROOT') ? null : define('SITE_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
defined('LIB_PATH') ? null : define('LIB_PATH', SITE_DOMAIN.DS.'includes');
defined('CSS_PATH') ? null : define('CSS_PATH', SITE_DOMAIN.DS.'css');

require_once(SITE_DOMAIN.DS.'config.php');
require_once(SITE_DOMAIN.DS."functions.php");
require_once(SITE_DOMAIN.DS."session.php");
require_once(SITE_DOMAIN.DS."database.php");
require_once(SITE_DOMAIN.DS."user.php");
?>

this is the config file its looking for:
Code: [Select]
<?PHP
defined('DB_SERVER') ? null : define("DB_SERVER", "localhost");
defined('DB_USER') ? null : define("DB_USER", "admin");
defined('DB_PASS') ? null : define("DB_PASS", "*************");
defined('DB_NAME') ? null : define("DB_NAME", "djsonrotation");
?>

this is how my mamp is set up

PORTS - 80  - 3306

this is where my file are located on my wwwroot

/index.php
/includes/initialize.php
/includes/config.php
/admin/index.php


this is the line of code calling the initialize on /admin/index.php
Code: [Select]
require_once("../includes/initialize.php");
