Glitching install script.

fulco

I'm still new to php and my syntax is not great.

I am getting this notice:
Notice: Undefined variable: go in /home/wwwfulc/public_html/install.php on line 21

when I hit subit it just prints "Thanks" and doesn't do the sql.

Can anyone help me find my glitch in this?

You can see it in action here http://www.fulco.net/install.php

Here's the code (minus the SQL Dump).

<html>
<head>
<title>Xenology Database Install Script</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
require("xenosetup.php");

$con = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ("I cannot connect to the database because:" . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db, $con) or die("I cannot select the correct database because: " . mysql_error());

if ($go){
$sql ="*SQL DUMP HERE*";
	echo "Completed." and die ("Thanks");
} else {
        echo"<form name=\"Install\" method=\"get\" action=\"install.php\">
            <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"go\" value=\"go\">
            <input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\" value=\"Start Install\">
            </form>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>

Your help is appreciated!

lol, i think i've lost my mind 🙂 im thinkin that is you file 🙂 my bad..

try putting this in place of it

?>
<form name="Install" method="get" action="install.php">
<input type="hidden" name="go" value="go">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Start Install">
</form>

instead of the echo statement where it prints the form...

is there any includes anywhere? more of the file?

Actually it is my file and that was all of install.php except for the 350 some odd lines that are an sql dump. I have made some slight modifications to help with any cofusion (I think). So here it goes again.

I am receiving:
Notice: Undefined variable: begin in /home/wwwfulc/public_html/install.php on line 21
when the script comes up.

Then it prints "Completed", but does nothing.

Here is the file with most of the info including the table generation dump. I omitted the insert dump because of its length.

You can see the whole thing as a text file at http://www.fulco.net/installphp.txt

error_reporting(E_ALL);

$con = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ("I cannot connect to the database because:" . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db, $con) or die("I cannot select the correct database because: " . mysql_error());

if ($begin==1){
$sql ="CREATE TABLE xeno (id int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, 
xeno varchar(50) default NULL, xenotxt text, image varchar(255) 
default NULL, PRIMARY KEY  (id), UNIQUE KEY id (id)) TYPE=MyISAM)";
	echo "Completed.";
} else {
printf("<a href=\"%s?begin=1\">Begin</a><br>", $PHP_SELF);
}
?>
</body>
</html>

I have run this through my debugger and it comes up clean. I'm beginning to wonder if it's my dump itself that's flawed.

Thanks for your help so far, I hope this helps.
