My last question about PHP - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

BrotherBear · 10-03-2006, 01:40 PM

hi all

the only thing I need to know now to start tests and all of that is to know can I put all PHP scripts together in the html document or I have to make different files for html and PHP and if it's better to make them separately how can I do that?

and what's better to use the user_level funtion or the "Class" or "access"?

thanks!!!!

BB What’s Crackin my friend,

First Question I would keep them separate, and if you need them to run together use the Include statement at the beginning of the Script. This way each script is each script. you may have a config.php and a access database.php so in the access.php add the Include command to the top and it should work like a dream.

2nd question, its really user preference, use what one your script is configured for. and i would suggest sticking to using only one so there is no confusion at the end.

Good Luck

thanks my friend !!!
I'm just here trying to figure this stuff out

so it works like this I make one file with only php script and with an extension PHP then in my html file at the top I put the include (file.php) right?

Well yes and no,

make one PHP script per Action. As in database.php ( for going to the database) config.php (for the configuration of the site) action.php ( for actions that will need to be performed) and so on and so on.

I would personally get rid of the .HTML all togeather. KISS it Keep It Simple Stupid. Because a PHP script wont Run if the Extension is .HTML and include is a php string. IE

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

include ('your File Here');

?>

would be at the top of the page, you can include several files, like the config.php, setup.php etc...

What helped me learn about all of this is i downloaded a huge script from Free PHP scripts to download from PHPJunkYard.com and just looked at it started at the Index.php or .html and saw what was included, went to that script and saw what it did, and so on and so on.

well I made a test yesterday and well I made a file called thankyou.php with the connection to the database and made a simple form when I click the button it goes to the thankyou.php file but it tells me that the connection failed cos access was denied what can I do? what info exactly should I put in the mysql_connect ?

O~Snapple · 10-05-2006, 11:36 PM

Well This sounds like a php problem can you post some of teh code so i can have a look???

~Snapple

BrotherBear · 10-06-2006, 03:47 PM

here's the code but actually I have solved this problem here's the RIGHT code

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



$con = mysql_connect("mysql1.100ws.com","johncoda_downloa","PASSWORD");

if (!$con)

  {

  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

  }



?>

listen I have an html file that has a form inputs and a submit button that sends you to thankyou.php now in thankyou.php what do I have to put to handle and store that information?

and thanks my friend for all the help

BB

O~Snapple · 10-07-2006, 05:09 AM

Nothing LOL that is the great part... Going back to teh Action of the form that is what connects to the database and adds the information to the database. In the action.php you will have a statment like:

If connection works and information is in the database go to Thankyou.php

Else, GO to error.php

That is not the script but you get the idea of whats going on.

But i hate to burst your bubble but after this is set its really not complete, because there are so many security issues with a simple script any one can put a malicious string into one of the form boxes and submit it to teh database that would be no good
