Php newbie ; $connection and <?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>
First, Happy New Year 2007 in your office with MS Office!
My question is not MS related. It's about Php. I have started learning it although I am not a programer. I have installed Apache and MySql on my computer and set up Php to work along. Then I also have PhpMyAdmin working from my Usb kye to avoid any conflict with the Apache installation on my hard drive. As done with my curriculum, I would like to know why the following script doesnt work when I run it directly from the Apache Server (I get : "Forbidden You don't have permission to access /< on this server." : ===O=== <html> <head> </head> <body> <?php $_POST = ''; if (!$_POST['submit']) { ?> <form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post"> Enter a number : <input name='numb' size="2"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Valider"> </form> <?php } else { $nombre = $_POST['numb']; if ($numb < 0) {echo 'your number is -'; } elseif ($numb = 0) {echo 'you have entered 0'; } else {echo 'your number is +'; } } ?> </body> </html> ===O=== When I run the same script on PhpMyAdmin, I have this message : Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in g:\easyphp1-8\www\site2practise\ex15h.php on line 13 line 13 is about this: if (!$_POST['submit']). and if I delete the entire "if" structure, still running the script on PhpMyAdmin, I get: "Notice: Undefined index: nombre in g:\easyphp1-8\www\site2practise\ex15.php on line 25" Line 25 is about this: $nombre = $_POST['nombre']; I don't think the last 2 errors are linked with the first one. The last 2 could be about the syntax and/or Php version I am running. Now I think I know the answer on how to solve the first error about Forbidden access It's because I have set a password when I installed Apache. And the issue is not the same when I run the script from PhpMyAdmin, because there I have no password setup. So the issue is about the syntax. How can the script above run on a Php engine that was setup with a password with little change? for instance -> $connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ('impossible de se connecter!'); ??? Thanks, Pascal

Re: Php newbie ; $connection and <?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>
In addition to Richard answer. If you just want Apache/MySQL/PHP to
work, not knowing how they fit together, I suggest LAMP (I think the site is called apachefriend or something like that - Just google it, and you'll find it). It is a package installation. You won't learn how to set up server properly tho. Hendri Kurniawan psnospam@googlemail.com wrote: > First, Happy New Year 2007 in your office with MS Office! > > My question is not MS related.

Yup I was just going to amend that.

Re: Php newbie ; $connection and <?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>
I use XAMPP for off-server site testing. Its a great tool for either setting up
your own minimal-hassle web server or as a script testing device.
