[Resolved] My code is not working and I cant figure it out.

Aybabtu

Hey guys I can not figure out why this is not working. I keep getting the following error:

"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\vlogs\process.php on line 8"

Here is my code

<---------HTML CODE-------->

<body>

<form method="POST" action="process.php">
<table style='width:60%'>
<tr>
<td style='width:30%'>Login Name: </td>
<td style='width:70%'>

<input class='tbox' type='text' name='name' size='40' maxlength='30' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='width:30%'>Password: </td>
<td style='width:70%'>

<input class='tbox' type='password' name='password1' size='40' maxlength='20' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='width:30%'>Re-type Password: </td>
<td style='width:70%'>

<input class='tbox' type='password' name='password2' size='40' maxlength='20' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='width:30%'>Email Address: </td>
<td style='width:70%'>

</body>
</html>

<--------PHP Code-------->

<HTML>
<BODY>
<?
$passwordcrypt = md5($_POST['password1']);

$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "web_admin", "trin1784") or die(mysql_error());
$db = mysql_select_db("vlogs") or die(mysql_error());

$query = "INSERT INTO users (user_name, user_password, user_email) VALUES ($POST['name'], '$passwordcrypt', $POST['email'])";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

echo "Thank you";
?>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Any help you can give me would be great.

$query = "INSERT INTO users (user_name, user_password, user_email) VALUES ($_POST['name'], '$passwordcrypt', $_POST['email'])";

is the culprit..

try...

$query = "INSERT INTO users (user_name, user_password, user_email) VALUES (".$_POST['name'].", '".$passwordcrypt."', '".$_POST['email']."')";

I changed the string to look exactly like wht you put and now I get the error:

Notice: Undefined index: password1 in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\vlogs\process.php on line 4

Notice: Undefined index: name in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\vlogs\process.php on line 8

Notice: Undefined index: email in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\vlogs\process.php on line 8

hmmm
maybe it doesnt like taking the $_POST directly in the string...
try this

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password1 = $_POST['password1'];
$password2 = $_POST['password2'];

if($password1 != $password2)
{
   //error code...
}
else
{
//dbconnect here

$password = md5($password1);

$query = "INSERT INTO users (user_name, user_password, user_email) VALUES ('$name', '$password', '$email')";

}

I tried this code and now I get the error:

Notice: Undefined index: name in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\vlogs\process.php on line 4

Notice: Undefined index: email in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\vlogs\process.php on line 5

Notice: Undefined index: password1 in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\vlogs\process.php on line 6

Notice: Undefined index: password2 in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\vlogs\process.php on line 7

Now is this a problem with the way php is passing the varibles or maybe a problem with the action="POST" command in the HTML code? I am still working at it thanks for helping me.

try accessing the pages via your webbrowser instead of clickin on the files

Aybabtu

I am, it is on a server at another location. I FTP the files there and then access it from here.

pjleonhardt

through the ftp or through the browser?

i mean.. you're accessing the file from [url]http://..../file.php?[/url]

the only reason i ask is that it's giving you a root of the file as

c:.......
usually this is only when youre looking at the file directly and not through the browser

Aybabtu

I am looking at it like http:...//file.php

pjleonhardt

the only other thing that i can think of is that it's a moderately old version of PHP....

try using $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'];
instead of $_POST[];
