PHP - Much Processing On Live Server

I have been working on a blog program with a tag system. 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.     

Hey guys, i was wondering if any1 cud help me. I have a database search engine that I'm currently working on, everything seems to be working fine locally including pagination but as soon as i upload the site online, the pagination doesn't work properly. when you use the search bar the results on the first page are correct, but as soon as you click next or page 2 it automatically returns wrong data. how can i fix this since it works fine locally???

Okay guys I have finished my db and I want to upload it to a live server but don't know exactly what to change in the code to get the ODBC_connect to open the path at the new server location please help.

my database  is located in a subfolder called Databases

i.e. "www.mydomain.com/Databases/myEvents.mdb"

what do i change in the connection string below to get it to open the file on the live server? Thanks in advance.


$conn = odbc_connect('myEvents','','');

I have a PHP web system that store in a windows server. In the system, there is a function for user to upload files to another server (Shared server in Unix).

When i try to upload a file, it gives warning:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(\\unixserver/sharedfolder/upload/test.txt) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\wamp\www\upload\index.php on line 40

For your information, my username has been assigned in xxx's group that has access to read and write on that folder. Besides, i'm able to open,create and delete files on that folder's server manually (samba).

The safe mode setting is off.

Does anybody has any idea why this thing happen?

Hi,  I am not a PHP programmer.

I took on a new client with a simple PHP site, without any databases.
The site is up and running on the web.
I would like to get it running on my local machine for further development.
I have latest version of WAMP installed, running Apache version 2.2.11 and PHP version 5.3.0
I created a directory in the WAMP "www" project directory and it shows up there like it's supposed to when I browse to "localhost"

Problem:

The home page of website displays text but no, images, styles, footer, header, nav links, etc.


Here is the code for the home page:

<?
  define("NAV","home");
require_once('local/local.php');
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<? include("common/dochead.php"); ?>

    </head>

<body onLoad="<? include('common/preloads.php'); ?>">

<!-- ============================ main ============================= -->

<div class="clearFloats"></div>

</div><!-- end main --></div><!-- end main-frame -->

<? include("common/footer.php"); ?>

   </body>
</html>



Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have spent many hours on this.

Hi folks,

I'm curious if I can for example, save a file from my server and it will save to all other servers - obviously if they accepted the connection first. It's for a software I developed and is almost complete and know there will be frequent updates to it. Instead of users downloading upates, I want the update files from my server to somehow synchronize to their server automatically?

Anything called this??

Thanks for info.

This isn't exactly an application design question, but rather a system design one.   I am about to install an Inventory Control System inside this store I work in.   The store itself also owns a Linode VPS running Centos 6.4 which hosts our website.   This new Inventory System will come built in with a Microsoft SQL Server, and supposedly it is a SQL Anywhere database, but I'm not too sure what that means.     I need to make this database publicly accessible, but only via the Linode VPS.  Surely, setting restrictions is easy enough to address that issue.  That isn't my question.   My first idea is to put this server into the DMZ, easy.  But it doesn't exactly sound safe.  So my next idea was to put a middleman server in the DMZ, this way the Linode can send queries to that middleman server and it will send that data to the SQL Server and back.  This is very vaguely described I know, but I don't want to get too much into details, but rather, understand how I can create that middleman server, and what could Install onto it that would allow me to securely process queries?   My first thought was to install a webservice, that accepts an XML/JSON request and returns an XML/JSON response. Then, I realized directly afterwards that I don't have any experience setting up a webservice like that. What kind of options are there out there?
  Ultimately, my question is, should I just put the Server in the DMZ or should I create the middleman, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction as to getting a webservice set up?

Hey. I am wanting to move a couple of files from my current server to another.

If i am uploading the file this is fine but if it is already on the server then im not sure how to move it.

When uploading I can just use ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $myFile, FTP_BINARY);

What i need to do is figure out how to get a hold of the file and store it in $myFile then this would work fine.

Is this possible?

Cheers

(This might be the wrong forum; it might be server-side configuration, but alas it is the code that *calls* fwrite, so I'll start here.)

I have written a script, and one thing it does is generate a file to disk using fwrite. No big deal.

Here's what interests me:
On most servers, the file is written successfully when the folder's permissions are 755 with recursive permissions. On some servers, 755 fails. Only 777 works.
How could this be? Are permissions=permissions=permissions? Why will 755 work on one machine but not another?

I'm just a logic guy; I know very little of server-side configuration and/or why there would be a difference here. Just trying to learn.

Hello everyone, I have a datatbase containing fields id, question, answer, and type. The questions are in true/false format, multiple choice and fill in the blank(text). At the moment, I am only trying to get the true and false questions to work. My code is as follows

Code: [Select]

<?php

$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","root") or die("couldn't connect");
$select = mysql_select_db("login") or die ("cannot select database!");

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM questions");

$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);

if ($numrows!=0)
{
//code to login
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
{
$dbquestion = $row['question'];
$dbanswer = $row['answer'];
$dbtype = $row['type'];
$dbid = $row['id'];
$correctanswer =  explode('|',"$dbanswer");



switch($dbtype){
case "mchoice":
echo"<br/>"; echo $dbquestion; echo"<br/>";
break;

case "boolean":
echo"<br/>"; echo $dbquestion; echo"<br/>";
echo $correctanswer[0];

//display radio buttons

?>
<form name="boolean" method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">
True
<input name="question" type="radio" value= "True" />
False
<input name="question" type="radio" value= "False" />
<input name="id" input type="hidden" value="<?php $dbid ?>" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />

<?php
echo "The answer submitted was ";
echo  $_POST['question'];
?>

<?php
break;

case "text":
echo"<br/>"; echo $dbquestion; echo"<br/>";
//display text box
break;
}
}
}
?>

The problem I'm having is that this creates a submit button for each question. When choosing true or false for the answer and pressing submit, the answer is selected for every question. I need the code  to look at what the user has entered, check the answer against correctanswer[0].

I'm really in a bit of a hole here and if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance
James

Can you take a look at this page?  It uses php code that I have been creating.  I need it to accept the form even if checkboxes are left empty.  Currently it comes up with an error.

Here is the PHP code:

I have an SQL table such as this:
Pairing1 Pairing2 Week 6 1 1 5 2 1 4 3 1 1 3 2 5 4 2 3 6 2 and another with teams such as:
teamid teamname 1 Teamname 1 2 Teamname 2 3 Teamname 3 The numbers in the pairing are numbers of teams, which is in another SQL table. What would be the most efficient way... of displaying the information in the form of pairngs such as
Week 1:
Team 6 vs Team 1
Team 5 vs Team 2
etc ....
What is the best way for me to sort my results?

I seem to be having a problem with the below script, on the 1st run it doesnt print the $variables, but on refresh these a being written to file once?

Code: [Select]

if(isset($_GET['sprop']) && ($_GET['sprop'] == "update"))
{

//my connection stuff
//
//
$playername = "userid";

$nether = $_POST["nether"];
$lname = $_POST["lname"];
$query = $_POST["query"];
$flight = $_POST["flight"];
$portdd = $_POST["port"];
$rcon = $_POST["rcon"];
$seed = $_POST["seed"];
$sip = $_POST["sip"];
$wlist = $_POST["wlist"];
$san = $_POST["san"];
$omode = $_POST["omode"];
$pvp = $_POST["pvp"];
$dif = $_POST["dif"];
$sname = $_POST["sname"];
$gmode = $_POST["mode"];
$pmax = $_POST["max"];
$sm = $_POST["sm"];
$view = $_POST["view"];
$motd = $_POST["motd"];

sleep(3);

$sftp = new Net_SFTP($ftp_s);
if (!$sftp->login($ftp_u, $ftp_p)) {
    exit('Login Failed');
}

echo $sftp->pwd() . "\r\n";
$sftp->put
("/root/mc/server.properties", "allow-nether=$nether
level-name=$lname
enable-query=$query
allow-flight=$flight
server-port=$portdd
enable-rcon=$rcon
level-seed=$seed
server-ip=$sip
white-list=$wlist
spawn-animals=$san
online-mode=$omode
pvp=$pvp
difficulty=$dif
server-name=$sname
gamemode=$gmode
max-players=$pmax
spawn-monsters=$sm
view-distance=$view
motd=$motd");
}

As you can see, I have try adding a sleep to give it time to catch up but something tells me the variables are not being set 1st time for some reason, can anyone shine any light on this?

I've read the php manual and a good few posts with similar but not identical problems and I am struggling to understand how to do this.

Ive tailored my test site to help describe the problems that  I have.

www.peterod.co.uk   

the form is the first link in the left hand bar.

Here is the code that creates the form.
<?php

// make connection
require_once "../classes/sqlconselfbuild.php";

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `materials` ORDER BY `id` ASC"); 

?>
<form action="../engines/testengine1.php" method="post">

<?php
// results
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)):
    $id = $row['id'];
?>
<p>
    id number: <input type="text" name="materials[<?php echo $id; ?>][name]" value="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" />
    Material:  <input type="text" name="materials[<?php echo $id; ?>][material]" value="<?php echo $row['material']; ?>" />
    Stage:    <input type="text" name="materials[<?php echo $id; ?>]    [stage]" value="<?php echo $row['stage']; ?>" />
    Qantity:  <input type="text" name="materials[<?php echo $id; ?>][quantity]" value="<?php echo $row['quantity']; ?>" />
    Unit:    <input type="text" name="materials[<?php echo $id; ?>][unit]" value="<?php echo $row['unit']; ?>" />
    
    <br />
</p>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>







I am unsure how to get this information to insert into the database.  How do you use the UPDATE query with a loop generated form
?
