[RESOLVED] form problems with mod_rewrite

[dannylewin]

Hi,

Im trying to get a simple contact form to work, but CANNOT get the thing to go. Im using mod_rewrite, but my old site is using it also... in exactly the same way, and it works fine.

My old mod_rewrite is:

site.com/folder/page_id.html

The new WOULD be:

site.com/folder/id/page

Does it make a difference if theres an extension?

I've tried to submit without sending mail, but after i hit submit the page goes blank and shows nothing. I tried with mail sending. The same thing happened, but the email was sent.

The site is made using the old Interakt products. But like i said. It works fine on the old site, and ive not done anything different. Unless its the redirect and the number of fake "folders" created by the mod_rewrite??

This is the redirect. Ive tried just listing.php, ../listing.php.... but it still does the same thing.

$customTransaction->registerTrigger("END", "Trigger_Default_Redirect", 99, "../../listing.php?school_id={getListing.s_id}&done=1#email");

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.

Danny

Ok the amount of information you have provided is severely insufficient to give an answer.

First, post your entire mod rewrite rule, if that is the problem.

Second, post your form, in particular the action attribute would be good to see.

Next that block of code you gave us means nothing. The "$customTransaction" and "registerTrigger" are defined somewhere else and would be needed to make any assessment of that code.

What im saying basically, is that i havent done anything different besides change the mod_rewrite for the new site.

mod_rewrite is as follows:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^test\.site\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://test.site.com/$1 [R=301]

##### HOME PAGE FOR ALL MAIN PAGES #####



##### SCHOOLS #####

RewriteRule ^irish-dance-schools/([a-zA-Z\_\-]+)$ irish-dance-schools/regions.php?country=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^irish-dance-schools/([a-zA-Z\_\-]+)/page/([0-9\_\-]+)$ irish-dance-schools/regions.php?country=$1&page=$2 [L]

RewriteRule ^irish-dance-schools/([a-zA-Z\_\-]+)/([a-zA-Z\_\-]+)/page/([0-9\_\-]+)$ irish-dance-schools/regions.php?region=$2&page=$3 [L]

RewriteRule ^irish-dance-schools/([a-zA-Z\_\-]+)/([a-zA-Z\_\-]+)$ irish-dance-schools/regions.php?region=$2 [L]

RewriteRule ^irish-dance-schools/([0-9\_\-]+)/([a-zA-Z\_\-]+)$ irish-dance-schools/listing.php?school_id=$1 [L]

form code (action is the current page):

    <form method="post" id="form1" action="<?php echo KT_escapeAttribute(KT_getFullUri()); ?>">
      <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" class="KT_tngtable">
        <tr>
          <td class="KT_th"><label for="from_email">From_email:</label></td>
          <td>
            <input type="text" name="from_email" id="from_email" value="<?php echo KT_escapeAttribute($row_rscustom['from_email']); ?>" size="32" />
            <?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldHint("from_email");?> <?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldError("custom", "from_email"); ?> </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td class="KT_th"><label for="message_body">Message_body:</label></td>
          <td>
            <textarea name="message_body" id="message_body" cols="50" rows="5"><?php echo KT_escapeAttribute($row_rscustom['message_body']); ?></textarea>
            <?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldHint("message_body");?> <?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldError("custom", "message_body"); ?> </td>
        </tr>
        <tr class="KT_buttons">
          <td colspan="2">
            <input type="submit" name="KT_Custom1" id="KT_Custom1" value="Insert record" />
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </form>

And if its at all helpful, here is the code that is triggered when the form is submitted. If anything is the problem, im guessing it is the

$customTransaction->registerTrigger("END", "Trigger_Default_Redirect", 99, "irish-dance-schools/listing.php?school_id=".$_GET['school_id']."&done=1#email");

// Make a custom transaction instance
$customTransaction = new tNG_custom($conn_site);
$tNGs->addTransaction($customTransaction);
// Register triggers
$customTransaction->registerTrigger("STARTER", "Trigger_Default_Starter", 1, "POST", "KT_Custom1");
$customTransaction->registerTrigger("BEFORE", "Trigger_Default_FormValidation", 10, $formValidation);
$customTransaction->registerTrigger("END", "Trigger_Default_Redirect", 99, "irish-dance-schools/listing.php?school_id=".$_GET['school_id']."&done=1#email");
// Add columns
$customTransaction->addColumn("from_email", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "from_email");
$customTransaction->addColumn("message_body", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "message_body");
// End of custom transaction instance

// Execute all the registered transactions
$tNGs->executeTransactions();

// Get the transaction recordset
$rscustom = $tNGs->getRecordset("custom");
$row_rscustom = mysql_fetch_assoc($rscustom);
$totalRows_rscustom = mysql_num_rows($rscustom);

Not sure if this has anything to do with it? I tried reading through the forums of the InteraKt products and a moderator said there were issues when using mod_rewrite.

I looked in the file he told someone else to look at, but that wasnt the issue for me. My problem is the re-direct after the form has been submitted.

I found this block of code:

/**
 * Make the redirect on server side; 
 * @param string $url the URL to which is makeing the redirect;
 * @return nothing;
 */
function KT_redir($url) {
	$protocol = "http://";
	$server_name = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
	if ($server_name != '') {
		$protocol = "http://";
		if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on")) {
			$protocol = "https://";
		}
		if (preg_match("#^/#", $url)) {
			$url = $protocol.$server_name.$url;
		} else if (!preg_match("#^[a-z]+://#", $url)) {
			$script = KT_getPHP_SELF();
			if (isset($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']) && $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] != '' && $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] != $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) {
				$script = substr($script, 0, strlen($script) - strlen($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']));
			}
			$url = $protocol.$server_name.(preg_replace("#/[^/]*$#", "/", $script)).$url;
		}
		$url = str_replace(" ","%20",$url);
		if (KT_is_ajax_request()) {
			header("Kt_location: ".$url);
			echo "Redirecting to: " . $url;
		} else {
			header("Location: ".$url);
		}
	}
	exit;
}

Is there something in there that could be causing issues with mod_rewrite?

When i actually apply the email function, after clicking send the page goes blank. But the email does get sent. So guessing it may have something to do with this code and the re-direct!?

[dannylewin]

Ok, so i think im getting closer to finding the issue.

I placed this code at the top of the page, to output errors:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);

And this error showed:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /listing.php:7) in /includes/common/KT_functions.inc.php on line 426

Lines 7-15 of listings.php is:

// Load the common classes
require_once('../includes/common/KT_common.php');

// Require the MXI classes
require_once ('../includes/mxi/MXI.php');

// Load the tNG classes
require_once('../includes/tng/tNG.inc.php');

and the code starting from line 426 is:

function KT_redir($url) {
	$protocol = "http://";
	$server_name = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
	if ($server_name != '') {
		$protocol = "http://";
		if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on")) {
			$protocol = "https://";
		}
		if (preg_match("#^/#", $url)) {
			$url = $protocol.$server_name.$url;
		} else if (!preg_match("#^[a-z]+://#", $url)) {
			$script = KT_getPHP_SELF();
			if (isset($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']) && $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] != '' && $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] != $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) {
				$script = substr($script, 0, strlen($script) - strlen($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']));
			}
			$url = $protocol.$server_name.(preg_replace("#/[^/]*$#", "/", $script)).$url;
		}
		$url = str_replace(" ","%20",$url);
		if (KT_is_ajax_request()) {
			header("Kt_location: ".$url);
			echo "Redirecting to: " . $url;
		} else {
			header("Location: ".$url);
		}
	}
	exit;

}

So somehow im guessing that code is being called twice causing header issues. KT_functions.inc.php is referenced within KT_common.php.

This is the redirect class i found also:

class tNG_Redirect {
	/**
	 * transaction object
	 * @var object tNG
	 * @access public
	 */
	var $tNG;
	/**
	 * url to use for redirect
	 * @var string
	 * @access public
	 */
	var $URL;
	/**
	 * if the GET params to be kept or not
	 * @var boolean
	 * @access public
	 */
	var $keepUrlParams;
	/**
	 * Constructor. set the transaction
	 * @param object tNG transaction
	 * @access public
	 */
	function tNG_Redirect($tNG = null) {
		$this->tNG = $tNG;
	}
	/**
	 * setter. set the URL to be used for redirect
	 * @param string
	 * @access public
	 */
	function setURL($URL) {
		$this->URL = $URL;
		if (strpos($URL,"includes/nxt/back.php") !== false) {
			$this->URL = KT_makeIncludedURL($this->URL);
		}
	}
	/**
	 * setter. if the GET params to be kept or not
	 * @param boolean
	 * @access public
	 */
	function setKeepURLParams($keepUrlParams) {
		$this->keepUrlParams = $keepUrlParams;
	}

/**
 * Main method of the class. make the redirect
 * @return nothing
 * @access public
 */
function Execute() {
	if (!isset($this->tNG)) {
		$page = KT_DynamicData($this->URL,null,'rawurlencode');
	} else {
		$useSavedData = false;
		if ($this->tNG->getTransactionType()=='_delete' || $this->tNG->getTransactionType()=='_multipleDelete') {
			$useSavedData = true;
		}
		$page = KT_DynamicData($this->URL,$this->tNG,'rawurlencode',$useSavedData);
	}
	if ($this->keepUrlParams) {
		foreach($_GET as $param => $value) {
			$page = KT_addReplaceParam($page, $param, $value);
		}
	}
	KT_redir($page);
}
}

Thanks for any help!!

Issue fixed. I was reading comments for different issues and people saying to make sure you leave no space before and after the <? and ?> tags.

my listings.php page had this!!! Its fixed now. Something so simple, yet easily overlooked!

Now ill stress: make sure you leave no space before and after the <? and ?> tags.
