What are the error messages (if any)

[SpooF]

December 21st, 2004, 10:43 am

well there are no errors it just wont even work.

http://theloshas.com/editFile.php?file=body.new.inc

from the looks of it, the the script goes to here

PHP Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

<?
 
$file = $_GET['file'];
 
if($file) {
 
echo("
 
<center>
 
<form name='edit' method='get' action='writeFile.php?file=$file&backup=$backup&buffer=$buffer'>
 
<table width='82%' height='176' border='1'>
 
 <tr>
 
   <td height='134'>
 
<textarea name='buffer' cols='100' rows='20'>
 
");

1. <?
2.  
3. $file = $_GET['file'];
4.  
5. if($file) {
6.  
7. echo("
8.  
9. <center>
10.  
11. <form name='edit' method='get' action='writeFile.php?file=$file&backup=$backup&buffer=$buffer'>
12.  
13. <table width='82%' height='176' border='1'>
14.  
15.  <tr>
16.  
17.    <td height='134'>
18.  
19. <textarea name='buffer' cols='100' rows='20'>
20.  
21. ");

and then it stops loading any info, or just does a continues loop.

thats because that file got deteted and does exists, and it doesnt have to load it, so it lets do submit.
http://theloshas.com/editFile.php?file=body.inc
compared to
http://theloshas.com/editFile.php?file=blah.inc

(blah ist a real file, body.inc is)

Change the method in your form to post, not get

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

<form name='edit' method='post' action='writeFile.php?file=blah.inc&backup=&buffer='>

still get the same errors

the reason why those errors are they is because no info was sent to the page so it cant exicute that. so it errors it

Why are you outputting the text area to the url? take that variable away, it is just going to cause problems

[SpooF]

December 21st, 2004, 11:58 pm

Not to be mean or anything but can you help with getting my editFile,php page to work, so the file will load in the page so i can see whats in it? then i can go from there and get othe things to work or ask for more help.

Dude I don't know what the issue is. You tell me it works on one machine and not the other.

Is your box a linux or windows box?
is the server a windows or linux box?
What version is the PHP that it works on?
What version is the PHP that it doesn't work on?

If you want people to help you need to supply the correct info, otherwise you end up with what happened now. People going backwards and forwards trying to guess the problem.

The only conclusion I can come to is that there is a config problem on one of the machines. If it works on one and not the other is not the script.

December 22nd, 2004, 12:18 am

my Machine is Window XP Pro; php V 4.3.3
my Server is Linux redhat; php V 4.3.9

Im sorry for not sapline the info before hand i didnt think you needed it and if you did you would of asked.

I dont quite get why it doesnt work becasue its jsut a simple script, and i got it all off of the php webpage so im wondering why it doesnt work for the latest verions vs the older one.

i was rushed posting this info because my internet would work for 5 minutes then shut off for 5 hours and then work again for maybe 5 minutes. Now its working better so maybe we can figger it out.

Okay so we are going to focus on getting the info into the text browser
okay replace the lines

PHP Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

 
$handle = fopen("page/$file", "a+");
 
while (!feof($handle)) {
 
$buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);
 
echo("$buffer");
 
 
 
 

1.  
2. $handle = fopen("page/$file", "a+");
3.  
4. while (!feof($handle)) {
5.  
6. $buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);
7.  
8. echo("$buffer");
9.  
10.  
11.  
12.  

with

PHP Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

 
$path = "page/" . $file;
 
echo $file; //do this to check the file name etc
 
$buffer = file_get_contents("page/$file", "r");
 
echo("$buffer");
 
 

1.  
2. $path = "page/" . $file;
3.  
4. echo $file; //do this to check the file name etc
5.  
6. $buffer = file_get_contents("page/$file", "r");
7.  
8. echo("$buffer");
9.  
10.  

and delete the line that has

PHP Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

 
fclose($handle);
 
 

1.  
2. fclose($handle);
