php code works on site A but not site B -- both PHP sites

inosent

i have this code:

(in other words, the code is contained in the three files in the zip folder, and u can upload them to ur site and see how they work if need be, or you can open the files in a text editor and see them that way etc ...)

what it does is turns html form contents into an fdf file

it works here:

http://inovasphere.com/form

but not here

http://americanlawfirm.net/form

i think the issue is the directory structure

when i use my filezilla to upload to inovasphere the root directory is just:

"/ "

whereas in the root directory window with the americanlawfirm site i see:

"/www "

so it is like the code cant find the folder to put the result file in. not sure

hi, when you say (index.php):

include dirname(__FILE__).'/pdf_process.php';

all you want to do is include that php doc?

dirname(FILE) is equal to say getcwd()

but anyway, why you don't just include the php directly, those files are in the same directory! try doing this and let me know

Actually, that is not necessarily true. [man]getcwd/man is the directory where the main script is being executed (or that the script has been [man]chdir/man'ed to), while dirname(FILE) will give you the directory where the currently executing file resides. For instace:

test.php:

<?php
echo getcwd();
echo "<br />";
echo dirname(__FILE__);
echo "<br />";
include 'folder/subfolder/include.php';

folder/subfolder/include.php:

<?php
echo getcwd();
echo "<br />";
echo dirname(__FILE__);

Output:
[indent]
C:\wamp\www\test
C:\wamp\www\test
C:\wamp\www\test
C:\wamp\www\test\folder\subfolder
[/indent]

i think i know what ur saying .... place all the php code in the same document?

i am not exactly sure how to incorporate the code from the pdf_process.php doc inside on the index.php doc

but what is the worst thing that can happen? nobody will notice if i accidentally crash the world wide web for a few days 🙂
