- - my first php script.. (https://novahq.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26072)

Ok, here is your script in action. I added some code to display the links, as proof that they were submitting to the database.

http://commandoselite.com/scripts/linksdb.php

Also, there is a link that you can click on to see the source code.

For some reason, the source code gets chopped off near the end, but that doesn't matter that section was added to display the links and source code.

every thing after line 73, just look for "Every thing after this line was added so that the links would be displayed, and so that you could view the source code." I added for the links and source code display.

Every thing above that line is your work, just edited where needed to make the script work.

You will have to edit the sql statements to reflect the database table your using. Same for mysql_select_db(), making sure it is selecting your database. And of course the mysql_connect() to reflect your username and passwords.

One thing I noticed though, is that you alternated capitals and lowercase letters for your variables.

That may have been why it wasn't working. Variables are case sensitive. $NN is different from $nn.

Any ways, hope this helps you :)

ICQ: i dont know # but its in my profile...

:gj: gj bro ! I remember my first one to

Make sure though that when you use it to take out the lines

echo '<br><br><a href="linksdb.php?show=source">Click here to see source code</a><br><br>';

++++++++++++++++

if (isset($_GET['show']) AND ($_GET['show'] == "source")){
echo DisplaySourceCode();
}

+++++++++++++++++++++++

function DisplaySourceCode()
{

$h = file_get_contents("linksdb.php");
return "<br><br><textarea cols=60 rows= 20>$h</textarea>";
}

Other wise visitors will be able to get your database username and password.

what am i doing wrong?

this script dont work either.... :(

PHP Code:


		
			
<html><head><title>The Nova-Zone Link Database </title></head>

<body>



<?php



#connecting To mysql



$conn = @mysql_connect( "localhost" "root" "5bk3hm2agn" ) or die( "Err:conn" );



#select the database



$rs = @mysql_select_db( "linkdb", $conn ) or die( "err:db" ) ;



# create the query



$sql="select LName, URL, ld, sc from links";



# execute the query



$rs = mysql_query( $sql,$conn ) ;



#write the data



while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $rs ) )

{

echo( "Category: " . $row["sc"]

echo( "Site Name: " . $row["LName"]

echo( "URL: " . $row["URL"]

echo( " Site Description: " . $row["ld"] ."<BR>");

}

?>

</body></html>

it is supposed to display the links that are submitted to the database..

well it seems to me to be those echo's...

echo( "Category: " . $row["sc"]
echo( "Site Name: " . $row["LName"]
echo( "URL: " . $row["URL"]

those above lines don't have the ");" at the end.

Also, why are you doing "$rs = @mysql_select_db( "linkdb", $conn ) or die( "err:db" ) ;"?

putting the @ infront of mysql_select_db() (or any other function) suppresses the errors. You could be getting errors in the sql statements and not know it.

You should do some thing like "$rs = mysql_select_db( "linkdb", $conn ) or die( mysql_error() ) ;", that way you will recieve any errors and get an idea as to what you have to do to fix them. Same applies to mysql_connect(), mysql_query(), ect.

well the @ thing is because my book says to do so.

yes, the book is a reference, a tutorial...doesn't mean you should code that way all the time... right now the @ isn't needed, infact it is need the @ is taken off. All the @ does is supress errors..
