Wierd Forms?

[mayus]

I have a web page which interacts with PHP to generate some lists. Problems is that the page seems to execute and abrubtly end for no reason? On my machine under localhost the page works fine but once uploaded to the server it seems to die?

It does not die for all the user input? just some...leaving the page ending with say a <td> and nothing else, as if php has called its exit() function automatically?

Is that possible, is so does anybody know why?

Thanks for the help.

Can't help you without code, a link etc.

here some code...

seems to fail in here:

                  <td valign="top">
				    <? 
					  list($uos, $titles, $general, $credit, $uos_list, $general_list, $credit_list) = fetchDetails($degree, $year, '1');

                      print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"sem1_uos\" value=\"$uos_list\">\n";
                      print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"sem1_general\" value=\"$general_list\">\n";
                      print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"sem1_credit\" value=\"$credit_list\">\n";

				      print "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n";

                      for($i=0; $i < count($uos); $i++)
					  {
					    print "  <tr>\n";
					    print "    <td valign=\"top\">\n";
						print "      <font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"2\">&nbsp;$uos[$i]</font>\n";
						print "    </td>\n";
						print "    <td><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"2\">$titles[$i]</font></td>\n";
						print "    <td width=\"5%\" valign=\"top\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"subjects[]\" value=\"$uos[$i]\"></td>\n";
					    print "  </tr>\n";
					  }

                      if ($general[0] != '')
					  {
                        for($i=0; $i < count($general); $i++)
					    {
					      print "  <tr>\n";
					      print "    <td>\n";
						  print "      <font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"2\">&nbsp;$general[$i]</font>\n";
						  print "    </td>\n";
						  print "    <td align=\"left\"><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"2\">$credit[$i] Credit Points</font></td>\n";
						  print "    <td width=\"5%\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"subjects[]\" value=\"$general[$i] $credit[$i]\"></td>\n";
					      print "  </tr>\n";
						}
					  }

					  print "</table>\n";
					?>
				  </td>

function fetchDetails($degree, $year, $sem)
{
if ($year == '') $year = 1;

$link   = MySql_DBConnect();
$query  = "select * from enrolment where degree like '%$degree%' and semester=$sem and year=$year";
$result = mysql_query($query, $link);

if (mysql_errno() == 0) $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
else $num_rows = 0;

if ($num_rows != 0)
{
  $uos = mysql_result($result, 0, "uos");
  $general = mysql_result($result, 0, "general");
  $credit = mysql_result($result, 0, "credit");

  $uos_copy   = $uos;
  $general_copy = $general;
  $credit_copy  = $credit;

  mysql_close();

  if (preg_match("/\|/", $uos))
  {
    $uos = split("\|", $uos);
  }
  else $uos = array ($uos);	  

  usort($uos, by_code);

  if (preg_match("/\|/", $general))
  {
    $general = split("\|", $general);
  }
  else $general = array ($general);	  

  if (preg_match("/\|/", $credit))
  {
    $credit = split("\|", $credit);
  }
  else $credit = array ($credit);	  
}

$titles = fetchTitles($uos);

return array($uos, $titles, $general, $credit, $uos_copy, $general_copy, $credit_copy);

}

what what has me confused is that it works fine under the apache/php/mysql config at home using the same browser?

its the same code? is there a PHP/Apache form setting I have not set up properly on the main server?

[fitzbean]

Its more likely, and thta code is pretty complicated, and I don't know what you are doing so it's impossible for me to see, but it's more likely that you have a logical error in there somewhere, perhaps in one of the many if statements that is not terminating the script, but no displaying some/all of the page as a result. No?

[mayus]

unfornately not 🙁

any code errors seems to be picked up by the server and conveyed before the script has rendered anythin...so the code seems to be fine? As I said it works at home?

I think the problem isn't PHP related, as the server has already fetched the info from mysql DB and it seems that the server just wants to give up?

Thanks for the help.
