More PHP Processing...

CannonBallGuy · October 2004

lol. Okay... this time I tried to make something myself... just by editing daboss's script in my other topic... Should have been easy... but somehow I still messed it up.

I want someone to fill in the name of a product twice, once with capital letters and spaces (like "Big Bad Footy 2005") and once without spaces and caps (like "bigbadfooty2005" -- This field is called "codename"...)
then pick a category from a list, type in a price (like "Â£27.97") and a password.

Then, if all fields are filled in and the password is correct, the user is taken to a confirmation page showing all the info except the password. If it's all ok, they click Submit and the info is saved to a file called "catall.txt" and a file with the whatever was in the field "codename" with a .txt on the end. So in the Big Bad Footy example the info would write to catall.txt and "bigbadfooty2005.txt"...

Here is what I have done:

The Form "addagame.php"

<html><head><title>PS2 Mall - Admin: Add A Game</title></head><body>

<?php

$form1 = "
<form name=\"addgame\" action=\"addprocess.php\" method=\"post\">

When I try to show "addagame.php it says:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /home/matsim68/public_html/PS2mall/addagame.php on line 74

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks - CBG

1. It would be helpful if you can post what line 74 is (your code, as it appears in your post has been wrapped).
2. From a quick glance in your code, your password is "poo" and it is hardcoded in your code? This may be seen by your customers

3. In any event, I'll get a working package up for you by tomorrow. I'll also put some thought into the password thing.

I'm stuck with reading my vBulletin manual now

It's a headace reading...

CannonBallGuy · October 2004

I wasn't asking for you to do it... but it would be good, if it's not too much bother.

As for the password: I didnt know of any other way of doing it...
If you can do it another way that would be ace!

Line 74 is a blank line.

Line 73:

/// LOGIG BIT:

Line 75:

if($password!=poo){

Thanks

daboss · October 2004

try:

if($password!="poo"){

Forge · October 2004

Maybe your missing a ' } ' somewhere above 74, check for that. I do that all the time.

CannonBallGuy · October 2004

I tried editing the password line but It didnt do anything...
Then I saw this:

/// LOGIG BIT:

and changed it to this:

/// LOGIG BIT ///

And then I got a different erro about an unexpected "}" on line 107...
So I took it out and voila.

This is the new code for addagame.php:

<html><head><title>PS2 Mall - Admin: Add A Game</title></head><body>

The problem now is that when I go to that page, I don't see the form... It just gives me all the error messages... lol...

What have I dont wrong now?

daboss · October 2004

Done, tested and working... (I have commented the sending of email though - please uncomment before loading to the server).

Didn't have time to think about the password thingy - it can easily be solved if you've got a database though...

You've got to be more careful when you code - you got lots of syntax problems - e.g. missing " ; { etc

Anyway, try it out and tell me if you need any more changes.

CannonBallGuy · October 2004

Thabks ever so much (again!)... It works perfectly!!!

I think this will ahve to do for now but I promise to try to learn sql etc soon.

As for my syntax - yeah. I know. I'm new to PHP and I understand most of the logic... it's the syntax I don't like

Thank again, daboss.
