| Hello. I am new at this, and I need to build a web page. I will use for sure PHP and MySQL. However, I am new at all this stuff, so I would really be thankfull if you could give me your oppinion on the following: 1) Is Apache the best solution to perform with PHP and MySQL? 2) I am not a programmer, so I have a lot to run... I have never worked with Linux, but for what I have read, it seams that using this applications with Linux is better than with Windows. What do you say on this? 3) I would like to have a forum (chat) and kind of a blog (comments to published notices). What would you advise me for each?? (At this point I realy don't know much even where to start, or what does it implies to administrate each one...) thank you very much |

| Yes, it is nice with scripts that does note produce notices. isset is a good way to avoid this, if you do not want to add a lot of code that sets 'empty' values for variables Another way is to TURN OFF reporting of NOTICE you add this, at top (beginning) of your php pages:
I use E_ALL = reporting with notices only when working with my code When I am finished and put my code on website, I Turn Notice OFF, using that line. I do not want to scare my visitors  |

| Your article has been very useful. When I implemented your example it functioned as described with the exception that a number of notices were generated. All of the notices were complaining about undefined constants. After some digging around and experimentation I found that the notices could be eliminated by the use of isset and by quoting names in the $_GET and $_POST functions. For what it is worth the following is a rewrite of the example which, at least in my environment, eliminated all of the notices: NOTE: The leading underscore characters, "_", at the start of some lines represent spaces and/or tabs. <?php ____if(isset($_GET["act"]) && $_GET["act"]=="go") ____{ ________echo("Your name is ".$_POST["name"]. ____________" And your age is ".$_POST["age"]. ____________"<br>Goodbye"); ____} ____else ____{ ?> <form method="post" action="script.php?act=go"> ____Enter your name: <input type="text" name="name"><br> ____Enter your age: <input type="text" name="age"><br> ____<input type="submit" value="done!"> </form> <?php ____Return; ____} ?> |

| You need to run it off a webserver that has php installed. So you would type http://serverhost/script.php |

| It means you have a syntax error in your mysql query, unfortunatly mysql is not very helpful at telling WHAT the error is, so you'll have to figure that part out. Post the query and maybe I can look at it and find the problem. |

 i am doing a php on euoropean lycos and i get an error when using this code: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near" the first line of the code... can' anyone help!!! |
| sintekk - Oct-08-2004 server time | ||
Only the European lycos, the US one still believes that everybody that wants a website with them just wants to make a Hillary Duff fan page ...now only if there was a free ColdFusion host out there  ... |
| Red Squirrel - Oct-08-2004 server time |
| The code is functional, it's been tested. Did you maybe miss a semi colon or something? Newer versions of php just give out a blank page instead of a parse error, unless changed in the settings. |
| Sam Spade - Oct-07-2004 server time |
| I tried the code example for using forms with php and it doesn't work. I get a blank page. What's the deal? |
| Red Squirrel - Jul-06-2004 server time |
| Tripod actually has php amd mysql? That's cool, I did not know that. |
| Very good free PHP/MySQL hosting - Jul-06-2004 server time |
| Here I have installed PHP Nuke and it works great Lycos Tripod |
| rogue - Jun-23-2004 server time |
all you need to run php is a good host, a good forum board i suggest vbulletin if you want to pay for it or phpbb if not both are good tho both have good and bad points then you need some good admins who know how to work with the code so you can make it your style but you also need some good members as well no good making a board if no-one wants to stay and chat  |

php installs on the server and not the workstation, that's the beauty of it, you don't have to worry about what the client has on their computer, as long as they can support the outputted html.  |
| Makenzie - Jun-20-2004 server time |
| I'm still a bit confused on the matter of installing PHP. I have Windows XP and my own site which has MySql...do i still need to install it? Other than that this was a really good php tutorial. Thanks alot!!! |
| Red Squirrel - Apr-26-2004 server time |
Glad it could help!  |
| Laurie Rose - Apr-26-2004 server time |
| Thank you much, this really helped get a start! |
| John - Feb-22-2004 server time |
| Thank you! this is a great article, with it I did understand the basic of PHP. I hope that you can write more articles like this. |
| Red Squirrel - Nov-09-2003 server time |
| Actually you can look up the fopen functions and other read/write functions and can make a file database. OR does the job require that it is a specific type (mysql for example)? I might later on release another article on data storage and talk about file and mysql database input/output. Glad you enjoyed it.  this article talks a bit about installing php and mysql, but only under windows. But under linux you're all set as long as you install it. |
| BeginnerLearner - Nov-09-2003 server time |
| Nice job on the artice Red! I was wondering if you have other article(s) that explain the process of setting up PHP and MySQL? I am a beginner and was handed a job of creating a webpage for employees to enter their suggestions, more like a "Suggestion Box". I guess I need some form of data collections method to capture data and storing it in a database for data analysis. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. |
| Red Squirrel - Nov-08-2003 server time | ||
Yes for sure. This whole situation is ironic. I have 908 hits (wow just realized that now) on the article, some guy most likely trolling says it sucks so I block him... with a php script I made. Later on I check my email and get someone saying he really enjoyed the article and wants to link to it and of course I said yes! Am I the only one who sees the irony here? If I was a girl and had a diary, this would definatly be worth putting in it.  |
| Wren - Nov-08-2003 server time |
| Yes, I did see both posts, one just said, "Thats crap". Forgot about that one. It could have been posted as an opinion and put in a much nicer way, which could have turned into an interesting discussion on the subject. |
| Red Squirrel - Nov-08-2003 server time |
| hahahahahaha this is too funny. Maybe the article would of been better if the guy would of read it in order. He read page 1,2,5 went on the forum most likely to make his post, then read page 4,3 and 2.  I bet the article would of made more sense if he would of read it in order.  |
| Red Squirrel - Nov-08-2003 server time | ||
There was two posts, by the same person. One was longer and dissing me and the article. I missed the eclipse, it already happened I checked.  edit: had the wrong time zone, did not miss it. http://www.iceteks.com/forums/show.php/showtopic/1580 |
| Chris Vogel - Nov-08-2003 server time | ||
Well, thankfully it isn't a once-in-a-lifetime thing.  The moon is in perfect sight here. I wish I had a digital camera...  |
| Wren - Nov-08-2003 server time |
| I only saw one post. Don't think we will see the eclipse, too cloudy here. |
| Red Squirrel - Nov-08-2003 server time | ||
Thanks for reminding me, there's supost to be an eclipse tonight, not sure at what time I'll go check the news and start a thread.  It's super clear here too! I put an alert similar to this for his IP: ALL YOUR PHP ARE BELONG TO US! YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY TO CRASHING! YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO DEBUG MAKE YOUR TIME. HA HA HA HA ... Man I hope I get a scada email telling me he got the "error".  I just realized I should not have deleted his posts but just edit them out, this thread might be confusing for some. |
| Wren - Nov-08-2003 server time |
| You go, Red! You probably know more than that poster anyway! Just remember, it's a full moon! |
| Red Squirrel - Nov-08-2003 server time | ||
Yep. Now, time to go login to my scada thing.... written in php..... by me..... I'll show him a php trick or two. |
| Red Squirrel - Nov-08-2003 server time | ||
Yep. Funny how he said setting up php under windows is not hard. He obviously never used or heard of Linux.  I would not be suprised if this guy was from bitbender's site. Gotta love trolls. I like mine diced up with almonds on the side. |
| Wren - Nov-08-2003 server time |
| That's right ,Red, show them the door, it swings both ways! |
| Red Squirrel - Nov-08-2003 server time | ||
Posts like these and the one after are not tollerated here. bye bye 194.236.93.236.  |
| Wren - Nov-08-2003 server time |
| Don't you just love, "know it alls", full of themselves! |
| Chris Vogel - Nov-08-2003 server time |
| There isn't any reason to call Red's work crap, "Guest". I thought it was a good article for us beginners. Discussion and comments are accepted; that's why a link to this thread is in the article, but even if you don't like the article, saying it's utter crap isn't nice. |
| manadren - Nov-05-2003 server time |
I should probably read this one but I don't have the time right now. Thanks Red!  |
| Red Squirrel - Nov-04-2003 server time |
| No problem, I hope it helps you! |
| Chris Vogel - Nov-04-2003 server time |
| YEA! Merci beaucoup! |
| Red Squirrel - Nov-04-2003 server time |
| if you never programmed php before and would like to, this article should give you a kick start by teaching you the basic things of php. It is recomended that you know a bit of html or at least the main concept of web design. (uploading etc...) http://www.iceteks.com/articles.php?act=vi...rticle=php&p=1& |
