    Ch-6 Error Detected - Paypal

    in Effortless E-Commerce with PHP and MySQL (2nd Edition)

    Posted

    Hello!

    In chapter 6 "Testing the Site", after I click the paypal subscription button, I get this error message :

     

    Error Detected

    pixel.gifPayPal cannot process this transaction because of a problem with the seller's website. Please contact the seller directly to resolve this problem.

     

    I've tried using different test accounts and I get the same thing.

    Here are the codes for the paypal button:

     

    echo '<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">

    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">

    <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="FDN9DZRLVBQRL">

    <input type="image" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribeCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">

    <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">

    </form>';

    Home Tab? Issue

    in Effortless E-Commerce with PHP and MySQL (2nd Edition)

    Posted

    Ok, that was a bit unclear.

     

    When I first enter the main home page (index.php), I see all the content and in the sidebar there is the login form which I get ask to type the email address and password in order to login, I have no problem with that. Once I am logged in I can navigate the site with no issue at all, but when I click the Home tab (which takes me to index.php) in the nav bar, the login form would show once again even though I was already logged in. What I am guessing is that it logged me out, because I don't see  Account and Admin since the user has to be either an admin or a normal user to see those tabs.

    Login Issue

    in Effortless E-Commerce with PHP and MySQL (2nd Edition)

    Posted

    Hello Forum!

     

    I realized something strange, why does my login form gets logged in without for me actually typing in an Email Address and Password, in other words when I leave the form empty and press the login button, for some reason it takes me to index.php welcoming page.  The form also logs in when I type some random email address and password, therefore I don't see any error messages whatsoever such as "Please enter a valid email address!". I have no problem with the registration form, changing a new password and logging out. I'm sure all the codes are fine. By the way I am using MAMP to test the pages out.

     

    Thanks.

    Chapter 5 Syntax Error

    Hello Forum

    In Chapter 5 Creating the Basic Script, the add_page.php file, when testing out I get this message:

     

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /Users/jlim/Website/effortless_ecommerce_2nd/ex1_exercise/html/add_page.php on line 70

     

    I've also tried the original add_page.php file and I also get the same exact message. These are the ones I wrote:

     

    ...

     

    <h1>Add a Site Content Page</h1>
    <form action="add_page.php" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
    <fieldset><legend>Fill out the form to add a page of content:</legend>

    echo '<div class="form-group';
    if(array_key_exists('category', $add_page_errors)) echo ' has-error';
    echo '"><label for="category" class="control-label">Category</label>
    <select name="category" class="form-control">
    <option>Select One</option>';
     
    $q = "SELECT id, category FROM categories ORDER BY category ASC";
    $r = mysqli_query($dbc, $q);
    while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_NUM) {
    echo "<option value=\"$row[0]\"";
    if(isset($_POST['category']) && ($_POST['category'] == $row[0])) echo ' selected="selected"';
    echo ">$row[1]</option>\n";
    }
    echo '</select>';
    if(array_key_exists('category', $add_page_errors)) echo '<span class="help-block">' . $add_page_errors['category'] . '</span>';
    echo '</div>';
     
    create_form_input('description', 'textarea', 'Description', $add_page_errors);
    create_form_input('content', 'textarea', 'Content', $add_page_errors);
    ?>
    <input type="submit" name="submit_button" value="Add This Page" id="submit_button" class="btn btn-default">

    Yes of course, I rewrote the original location of the files just to abbreviate the error message. This is what I really get:

     

    An error ocurred in script '/Users/jlim/Website/phpmysql4_scripts/ch18_exercise/html/register.php' on line 9: require(/Users/jlim/Website/phpmysql4_scripts/mysqli_connect.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

    ...

    It's really strange, shouldn't be happening?!
