djr33's php message board

Haha, my message board....

I suppose... more of just comments, though.

You need to have a storage system for the data.

If you have a free site, wonderful. Enjoy. You get what you pay for, though, generally.

find a better one, or find, really, like $2 each month to pay for something.

You can use cookies without server side stuff, but that is only for one user.. you're pretty much stuck.

Ok I got it to work Here:
http://benslayton.110mb.com/index.php
But the comments aren't showing up.

**djr33** · 05-26-2006, 10:48 PM

The php source was changed and the name of the text document now doesn't match the one being created.

OR there's an error in the php code because of some lack of functionality on your server. For example, there may be a restriction against modifying files with php.
One of my hosting accounts doesn't allow php to send emails. Weird, but up to the host, I suppose.

Since you can't view php source except through access to the server, I can't know what's wrong.

Not really sure what to say...

Would you duplicate all three files on your server and rename them ".phps" so the source can be viewed?
(index.php>index.phps)
But leave the originals too... so you can fix them when we figure out what's wrong.

The codes are directly copied and pasted from the original fourm.

the free server I have used is specifically for php.

No changes?

then there's a compatibility issue.

Hmm.... I'm not sure what's going wrong.

Make a new file, put it in that directory, called "test.php".
Add the following and upload:

PHP Code:


<?php
echo php_version();
file_get_contents("index.php") or echo "problem with file_get_contents\n";
$file = fopen("index.php", "w+") or die("problem with fopen");
fclose($file);
echo "fopen ok";
?>

Just want to find what gives errors.. those are random guesses at problems... we'll see if they work. If they do, it's something else. It'll also check php version so we can see if there's an issue with a new/old version of php.

**benslayton** · 05-26-2006, 10:57 PM

Here it is...test.php

It does nothing...

**djr33** · 05-26-2006, 10:59 PM

er.... try this...

PHP Code:


<?php
die("PHP WORKS");
?>
This host is screwed up.

(Paste everything in the code box, including the last line)

**benslayton** · 05-26-2006, 11:03 PM

Ok done that.

It says "PHP Works".

**djr33** · 05-26-2006, 11:04 PM

Umm.... no clue, then.

That just verifies that php functions, but the above code can't be blank... it would give errors if nothing else.

Try this:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

EDIT: had php_info first... it's phpinfo... probably the same with phpversion above.

Try that code and also try:
<?php
echo phpversion();
file_get_contents("index.php") or echo "problem with file_get_contents\n";
$file = fopen("index.php", "w+") or die("problem with fopen");
fclose($file);
echo "fopen ok";
?>

by the way, gotta run... back later.
