says error on line 25, and i really dont see anything wrong there

**oceanebelle** · Jul 20th, 2005, 01:16 AM

is the error on the supposed to be bolded part else?

**oceanebelle** · Jul 20th, 2005, 01:17 AM

I think you have forgot to close fwrite function? on teh else part.

**oceanebelle** · Jul 20th, 2005, 01:19 AM

and I'm not seeing the closing parenthesis of your very first if. block

**|2eM!x** · Jul 20th, 2005, 02:00 AM

Code:

    If ($_POST[send] == "1"){
        $Filename = $_POST[UserName];
            If (file_exists($Filename)){
                $handle = fopen($Filename, "r") or die("Error Reading");
                $contents = @fread($handle,filesize($Filename)) or die("Error2");
                fclose($handle);
                If ($contents == $_POST[Password]){
                    echo "</br>.Logged in";
                }else{
                    echo "Invalid password";
                }

            }else{
                $handle = fopen($Filename, "w") or die ("Error writing");
                $contents = @fwrite($handle,$_POST[Password];
                fclose($handle);
            }

Also, what did you mean i am not closing my fwrite?
$contents = @fwrite($handle,$_POST[Password];
fclose($handle);

**oceanebelle** · Jul 20th, 2005, 02:40 AM

$contents = @fwrite($handle,$_POST[Password]); <<-- closing parenthesis

**|2eM!x** · Jul 21st, 2005, 12:32 AM

OB, can i ask one more:

PHP Code:

I keep getting errors on this line: If($_POST[send]=="1"){
Notice: Use of undefined constant send - assumed 'send' in C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\PHP\Login Script\_debug_tmp.php on line 12 Notice: Undefined index: send in C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\PHP\Login Script\_debug_tmp.php on line 12

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 01:31 AM

perhaps send needs to be a string...
I really thought that in that context.. and send being used that way... it will look for a constant variable.. which is not defined. and perhaps that's where the error goes...

I would use this.. instead of that.
If($_POST['send']=="1"){

or
If($_POST["send"]=="1"){

**|2eM!x** · Jul 21st, 2005, 01:34 AM

Okay thanks, but now this part is still there:

Notice: Undefined index: send in C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\PHP\Login Script\_debug_tmp.php on line 12

I dont understand that..Also, whats the difference between using [name] and ['name] and ["name"]

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 01:35 AM

may I comment on this code fragment?

$filename = $_POST[UserName.".txt"];

are you sure about this one?.. this will definitely give you a very weird output.

i think the right one would be.

$filename = $_POST[UserName].".txt";

notice how the ".txt" is moved outside of the brackets?.... I think this is what you want.. 'cause I don't see you posting a value for.... someusername.txt

**|2eM!x** · Jul 21st, 2005, 01:40 AM

yes you are right, im still a beginner with php..just learning.

Thanks, but im still getting that dumb error^^

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 01:42 AM

I think $_POST['send'] and $_POST["send"] is pretty much the same.. they delimit strings... now if you had posted a value like... send'ed your way of accessing the value would have be $_POST["send'ed"] and vice versa..

now for $_POST[send] I read at the dox.. and perhaps it is the right one.. but better ask the gurus for this one... that.. the send part here will be accessing a constant variable.. that is defined this way on the file or else where (just included it)...

define("send", "somesendvalue");

so the $_POST[send] in my example would actually be accessing like
$_POST["somesendvalue"]

well at least that is my understanding of... it. I do hope that someone could clear this up.

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 01:44 AM

I guess my theory holds on the send... I think it is looking up a constant value... perhaps you could try to change all send variable that you want?

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 01:46 AM

Just try to change all you $_POST statement... like the send, UserName, Password... enclosed in string delimiters(am I using the right term)..

and see from there?

ahh I see it now.. it IS definitely looking for a constant value send...

so my theory holds.

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 01:53 AM

really? hmm.. weird..

well on my code.. I used.. the " and didn't get to try ' actually... I wonder if that would do it.... have you refreshed everything?? saved everything.?

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 01:55 AM

Uhmmm I just noticed.. in your opening tag for FORM.. there is not closing > would that be alright?

perhaps the form did not get submitted or something.

**|2eM!x** · Jul 21st, 2005, 01:56 AM

Yes, ive tried both and none resolve

im stumped

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 01:58 AM

I'm stumped as well.

I have a question though.. is it okey to have the FORM elements. outside of body... I mean.. all the input elements would not show up in the form right?

I always thougth that forms should be w/n or perhaps I always thougth wrong.

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 02:00 AM

I'm going to try this one here locally.

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 02:04 AM

HEEY!!!!.. HOW COME IT WORKED ON MINE... and I didn't even change the code.. the last one that is.

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 02:09 AM

and disregard my other question.. I found out that your page indeed worked.. I learn new things everyday.

tnx.

**|2eM!x** · Jul 21st, 2005, 02:09 AM

can i see the code you tried?

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 02:12 AM

sure! here it is...

I changed the file location.. so that I can just look at the c root and see if indeed the file got created.. and it did.

PHP Code:




<html> 

    <h3>Testing Site</h3> 

    <form method = "POST" action = "<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">

              $contents = @fread($handle,filesize($filename));

                } 

             echo "Username created!"; 

             $handle = fopen($filename,"w") or die("Err2"); 

             fwrite($handle,$_POST['Password']); 

             fclose($handle); 

            } 

    } 

?> 

</html>

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 02:15 AM

Oh!!!.. I did... I did added a the closing > for the opening tag...

for it to work.

so now that code works for me.

I was right in assuming that the first code did not got submitted because the form tag was malformed.

**|2eM!x** · Jul 21st, 2005, 02:26 AM

Same error as before??
Notice: Undefined index: send in C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\PHP\Login Script\_debug_tmp.php on line 12

And also, if i run it differently (Im using php Designer 2005 IDE) the submit field doesnt remain on the first page

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 02:29 AM

hmmm.. I wonder why... I edited it at notepad, pasted it on htdocs root.. then opened a browser.. pointed it to the page.. and it worked fine.

perhaps php designer not refreshing or something.

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 02:33 AM

I'm sorry I can't do nothing more than that... it is working well here

in fact.. it even works fine without them string delimiters.

**|2eM!x** · Jul 21st, 2005, 02:42 AM

Well, it works in xampp but not this ide..Guess i should get a better IDE.

Also, im getting this error when creating password and stuff on line 25
$handle = fopen($filename,"w") or die("Err2");
Warning: fopen(|2eM!x.txt): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in C:\PHP\xampp\htdocs\xampp\newform.php on line 25
Err2

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 02:51 AM

Perhaps... the file name shouldn't have invalid characters like..| or ! ???

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 02:52 AM

why can't you give it a simpler name??? it worked fine here.

lol my names are like 1 and 2.. so that would be 1.txt and 2.txt... it was generated.

and go get a better IDE.

**|2eM!x** · Jul 21st, 2005, 12:21 PM

That makes sense. Thankyou oceanbelle for helping me!

**oceanebelle** · Jul 21st, 2005, 07:47 PM
