PHP - Setcookie Issue, Working On Local Server, Not Working On Real Server
I just did a huge import from an app I have been working on. No issues except for this.
I uploaded & imported all files & databases from my wampserver (localhost, local server) to my main online server. Before I continue with the problem, I have to give you info on how the files work. I am using a "controller" to view the files. Meaning, from index.php, I call all the files. For example, instead of mysite.com/register.php, its mysite.com/index.php?page=register. The index defines the doctype & html tags etc. The other files that are called through index.php are just pure php code, it does not contain the head & body tags etc. So, the issue is , when the surfer submits a form, i need to set a cookie. this cookie is VERY important. I cannot get it to work. I am getting the header warnings after submit Of course, this is to be expected. But I tried it on my local server, & it worked. I am not very familiar with cookies, this is a side of PHP i never really even touched. I know almost everything but that. So the php code is before the html code on the page, so I figured it was worth a shot. Im guessing the problem here is, since the code being outputted as index.php code + the form page code. So the cookie is being set after the html tags. How can I fix this? I need it to work thru the controller. I cannot just make it a single file, all files on the site needs to be thru this controller, otherwise it will mess everything up. Ino I could just add the code from index.php plus the form page code & just run the php code before all of the html tags, but like I said it has to be called thru index.php. I appreciate your replies, & I hope you guys dont think im an idiot & can understand my question, im terrible with words! Similar TutorialsHi All I have been working on a project in PHP for about three months. I have been happily working away with a WAMP server locally all that time. The problem arose today when I uploaded the project to a web server. I uploaded all the files by FTP and imported a mysql database on the new web server. When I went to view my home page I got the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/priestbr/public_html/output_fns.php on line 1 My index page references an include to a page which stores my functions: <?php error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); session_start(); include('priest_br_fns.php'); The priest_br_fns.php then includes a further 3 includes as below: <?php include_once('db_fns.php'); include_once('output_fns.php'); include_once('general_fns.php'); ?> PHP seems to parse the db_fns.php page OK and fails at output_fns.php (as per the parse error msg). But here's the thing....during some investigation I deleted the contents of db_fns.php and pasted in the contents of output_fns.php and then the page got parsed OK! Anyone have any idea why it's failing? Is it something to do with how I have the includes set up? I really need all the includes working obviously for the site to run. For info my local server where the site works perfectly is set up as below: PHP 5.2.6, MySQL 5.0.51a, Apache 2.2.8 The web server is set up like this: PHP 5.2.1.14, MySQL 5.0.91, Apache 2.2.16. Thanks in advance, Craig I'm trying to make a simple website where people register to my website. When the user doesn't fill anything inside the boxes they get a message "Please fill all required fields" on the register.php page On my local host require_once works good. It shows up.
But when i upload the files to my sever the require_once does not show up on the register.php It just refreshes and i dont get the message "Please fill all required fields"
This is the code that works in local host but not in a live server <?php require_once 'messages.php'; ?>
Here is my full code
Register page: <html> <?php require_once 'messages.php'; ?> <br><br> <form action="register-clicked.php" method="POST"> Username:<br> <input type="text" name="usernamebox" placeholder="Enter Username Here"> <br><br> Email:<br> <input type="text" name="emailbox" placeholder="Enter email here"> <br><br> Password:<br> <input type="password" name="passwordbox" placeholder="Enter password here"> <br><br> Confirm Password:<br> <input type="password" name="passwordconfirmbox" placeholder="Re-enter password here"> <br><br> <input type="submit" name="submitbox" value="Press to submit"> <br><br> </form> </html>
Register clicked <?php session_start(); $data = $_POST; if( empty($data['usernamebox']) || empty($data['emailbox']) || empty($data['passwordbox']) || empty($data['passwordconfirmbox'])) { $_SESSION['messages'][] = 'Please fill all required fields'; header('Location: register.php'); exit; } if ($data['passwordbox'] !== $data['passwordconfirmbox']) { $_SESSION['messages'][] = 'Passwords do not match'; header('Location: register.php'); exit; } $dsn = 'mysql:dbname=mydatabase;host=localhost'; $dbUser='myuser'; $dbPassword= 'password'; try{ $connection = new PDO($dsn, $dbUser, $dbPassword); } catch (PDOException $exception){ $_SESSION['messages'][] = 'Connection failed: ' . $exception->getMessage(); header('Location: register.php'); exit; }
messages.php <?php session_start(); if (empty($_SESSION['messages'])){ return; } $messages = $_SESSION['messages']; unset($_SESSION['messages']); ?> <ul> <?php foreach ($messages as $message): ?> <li><?php echo $message; ?></li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> Edited Wednesday at 12:49 AM by bee65 Hi, I am not a PHP programmer.

I have spent many hours on this. Regards Following a tutorial on udemy, i tried to learn the very basics of mvc structure. I built the same project on my local server and it worked without giving me any error. but when i tried it on live server. its not working as it should. not showing any error. I tried to figure out the problem and found that for every page loading, it stops at the same line in my main.php file. <?php require($view); ?> starting from the above line. it stops. i came here to share my problem but i am unable to upload my files here. if there is a way to upload and share my files, please guide. zip file size of the whole project is 31.6 kb Hi, I've recently changed servers. I uploaded a website to the new server, imported the SQL etc etc all works fine apart from the search script. Question is, without posted the code at present, is there anything obvious that could prevent the php search script to stop working on the new server when everything else works fine, and it was working fine on the old server? I assume the PHP versions of both servers are version 5. Older server 1&1, new server eUKhost Many thanks Hello there, The error i have is that my server can't find itself and it gives me this nice error. Quote php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in... You maybe thinking why don't i just include the file or use its relative location (./file.php) but the answer is simple. It doesn't fit in with my framework and its too hard to expand. How else can I execute a file on the same domain using PHP? Thank-you Paul i've use php-event-calender for showing event from table.when i click on event date, it's dispay table details for relevent date correctly in localhost.but it's didn't show details in live server.

Hi ppl I have a weird error... (or at least i think its weird) I have a project with 3 forms, and at the end(the last file) will enter all data of this form in an email and sent it using PEAR smtp email. On my local server it works. Everything - from testing all the mandatory fields in each form till the sending of the email. I also receive the email using @localhost. When I upload these files to the server, every form with the testing of the mandatory fields and returning to that form, everything works, except the file where I test the last form and put all content in the email body. On the server, as soon as the last page starts to load, I get a Server Error HTTP Error 500. I really don't understand it, as everything works on my local xampp server. Please let me know of places I can search for errors... like log files on the server or something like that. Thanks PS: I also used NetBeans, with its debugger, so I am quite sure its not the code, maybe a php setting... Hi All, My goal is to process all redirects serverside and simply return the user to the 'final' URL. Here's my function to get the final URL: PHP Code: function get_final_url($url){ global $final_host; $redirects = get_all_redirects($url); if (count($redirects)>0){ $final_url = array_pop($redirects); if(substr($final_url,0,7) != 'http://' && !empty($final_host)) { $final_url = 'http://'.$final_host.$final_url; } return $final_url; } else { return $url; } Here's the cURL execution: $ch2 = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_POST,''); curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,''); curl_exec($ch2); curl_close($ch2); For some reason, this works no problem, posts any data over to the URLs serverside, redirects serverside, and passes the client to the final URL, with none of the redirection displayed via HTTPWatch or any similar debug utility. Sometimes, however, it does show phases of redirection. Any insight into what I might be doing incorrectly? Thanks SO much in advance. E im wondering is there any easy way to echo server time and local time... without converting them from unix to timestamp i have found thi code, but i cant tell is it server or local Code: [Select] echo date("H:i" ,time()); Hey!

When I add tags and ask to display them to a certain webpage they all appear on my WAMP environment but not my live server. Any thoughts as to why this might be? Here is the code needed to display the tags. I am not sure if maybe live servers have restrictions that might be stopping it from displaying.
This is on the main page to display the tags.
<div class="widget"> <?php echo '<h2>Tags</h2>'; echo '<ul>'; getTagCount($DBH); echo '</ul>'; ?> </div>Next here is the function from the includes file. function getTagCount($DBH) { //Make the connection and grab all the tag's TAG TABLE HAS TWO FIELDS id and name $stmt = $DBH->query("SELECT * FROM tags"); $stmt->execute(); $result = array(); $result = $stmt->fetchAll(); //For each row pulled do the following foreach ($result as $row){ //set the tagId and tagName to the id and name fields from the tags table $tagId = $row['id']; $tagName = ucfirst($row['name']); //Next grab the list of used tags BLOG_POST_TAGS TABLE HAS TWO FILEDS blog_post_id and tag_id $stmt2 = $DBH->query("SELECT count(*) FROM blog_post_tags WHERE tag_id = " . $tagId); $stmt2->execute(); $tagCount = $stmt2->fetchColumn(); //Print the following list echo '<li><a href="blog_tags.php?tagId=' . $tagId . '"title="' . $tagName . '">' . $tagName . '(' . $tagCount . ')</a></li></form>'; //End of loop - start again } }The "tags" database is structured like so id, name The "blog_post_tags" is structured like so, blog_post_id, tag_id On the WAMP server it returns all of tags while the live server only returns the first one. Any suggestions on what is going on? If you need any other info please let me know. Hi, ive recently created a gallery website and im happy with the way everything currently works. However the main drawback is the site uploads using a html webfom which is great for remote users or the odd image. However, as i want to mass upload my existing collection i will need the ability to read a selected folder and then to carry out all the same processes that existed from the existing html form upload. Im also using gdlibrary and checking file types to ensure they are within my allowed list, but im wondering if there are any other common security alerts i should be aware of to keep things a little bit safer if/when i publish outside of my LAN. So in a nut shell i need some assistance with changing my upload process to work for more than one file at a time, ideally by reading a folder, or at least reading X amount of files at a time - processing them then moving onto next batch of files in the list. Then the next part i need help with is checking/improving basic security of the system hello and good day dear php-freaks which is the passwd for the mysql db run opensuse - therein i have installed a myql serfver and an apache now i want to port over a cms-system from a server to the localhost. question: the passwd of the configuriatin of the cms has got the following db connecgtion host : localhost db-name db-passwd question: does the db passwd need to match the passwd of the local mysql server!? is this true love to hear from you Hello, I have a call tu function unserialize() in a script that receives a string and has to return an array. In my localhost it works properly but in the server it returns a 1 dimension array with empty value. I'm testing with the string a:1:{s:1:"0";s:8:"value_eq";} The php.ini configuration for magic_quotes is (in both, server and localhost): magic_quotes_gpc Off magic_quotes_runtime Off Other configurations is difficult to compare, as php info is long and very different in local and server. Any ideas where the problem might be? Thank you I am working on a login script and I am using cookies for the first time. I have it something like this: <?php if (correct user/pass entered) - set user/pass cookies ?> <html> <?php if (user/pass cookies are set) {echo 'you are logged in';} else {echo 'you are NOT logged in';} ?> </html> The problem is that if I enter a valid username and password, and the cookies are set, then I get the message 'you are NOT logged in' unless I leave the page then return to it, or if I refresh, in which case I get the message 'you are logged in'. Its almost as though I cannot use the cookies until I navigate away from the page on which they were set. Am I doing something wrong, or is this the way it works? Hi, I have a mail script to that will take a long time to process, let me call it form2.php Now I post from form1.php to form2.php. I like to run/execute the form2.php in the background so that the user will not wait for the time executing the form2.php. I have used exec and shell_exec but not success. I am using latest WAMP server in my local mechine. Thanks |
