  1. Hi,

    I get the following error and a blank page trying to print the date and time, and I can't seem to find what I did wrong:

    error: <br /> <b> fatal error </b>: uncaught ArgumentCountError...

    it seems to happen when I replace the title with the PHP script (which includes the constant) in the header.

    When I remove that PHP script and leave it like it was in the beginning, I get the result the in screenshot and the date and time printed look strange.

    Regards

    Yannick

  2. Hi, I don't know why it's not working. I can't find my mistake(s). here is what I get after filling the form:

     

    Thank you, $name, for your posting:

     

    $posting

     

    "; ?>

     

     

    And here is my html code:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <head>
    	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
    	<title>Forum Posting</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <!-- Script 5.1 - posting.html -->
    <div><p>Please complete this form to submit your posting:</p>
    
    <form action="handle_post.php" method="post">
    
    <p>First Name: <input type="text" name="first_name" size="20" /></p>
    
    <p>Last Name: <input type="text" name="last_name" size="20" /></p>
    
    <p>Email Address: <input type="text" name="email" size="30" /></p>
    
    <p>Posting: <textarea name="posting" rows="9" cols="30"></textarea></p>
    
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send My Posting" /></p>
    
    </form>
    </div>
    </body>
    </html>
    

    and here is my PHP code:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <head>
    	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
    	<title>Forum Posting</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?php // Script 5.2 - handle_post.php 
    //This script receives five values from posting.html: first_name, last_name, email, posting, submit)
    
    ini_set ('display_errors', 1); // let me learn from my mistakes
    error_reporting (E_ALL | E_STRICT); // Show all possible problems!
    
    // Get the values from the $_POST array:
    $first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
    $last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
    $posting = $_POST['posting'];
    
    // Create a full name variable:
    $name = $first_name . ' ' . $last_name;
    
    // Print a message:
    print "<div>Thank you, $name, for your posting:
    <p>$posting</p></div>";
    
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>
    

    and I saved both in the same directory (htdocs) since the beginning.

  3. you're right, but as I first used "mysql" I got this error > error 1045 (28000): access denied for user'ODBC'@'localhost (using password: NO )

     

     

    then after that I used "mysqlshow -u root -p password" and "mysql -u root -p", it worked both. I could acces mysql.

     

    but then comes another problem as I tried to change the password by using "mysqladmin -u root -p password 'newNEWpassword'; I then entered the configuration root user password at the prompt. now I can't access mysql anymore. I get an error like this with any password I use > error 1045 (28000): access denied for user'ODBC'@'localhost (using password: YES )

  4. Hi, I'm having a hard configurating mysql on my computer, I've already tried it 10 time after installing and uninstalling again and again.

     

    after the installation of mysql, everything seem alright because I can read: configuration for mysql server 5.6.23 has succeeded. please click finish to continue.

     

    but now when I try to get to mysql with the console cmd: c:\programme\mysql\mysql server 5.6\bin>mysql

    I got this: error 1045 (28000): access denied for user'ODBC'@'localhost (using password: NO )

     

    when I try this: c:\programme\mysql\mysql server 5.6\bin>mysqlshow -u root

    I get this: access denied for user'root'@'localhost (using password: NO )

     

    when I try this: c:\programme\mysql\mysql server 5.6\bin>mysqlshow -u root -p password

    I first get this: enter password:******

    after I entered the password I gave in my configuration, I get this: Unknown database 'password'

     

    I don't know what to do

  5. Hi, 

    On page 60 of chapter 3, after I submit the form and get the proper result, I reload the handle_form.php page and I get some errors on line15, 16, 17, 18 of the code displaying undifined index. why is that? 
    I notice the same thing happens when I just start the handle_form page without filling the feedback.html first. why is that? why don't I just get a blank page if I didn't fill the feedback.html first? and after filling the form and submitting it, why do I get a different result with error after reloading the handle_form.php page for the second time?

  6. Greetings,

    I'm a beginner. I have some difficulties with FTP configuration.
    I already download and started xampp, I download and started filezilla but I don't have any domain like www.larryullman.com. I use notepad++ as editor. I can't get anything from the browser (mozilla). I saved my file under C:\xampp\htdocs\phpmysql
    everything I get is the PHP or phpinfo() picture on page13.

    how should I configurate filezilla, xampp and test my script?
