PHP for the Web chapter 13 error help (long)


Recommended Posts

I have been getting some errors in my chapter 13 site and I am not sure how I can fix them. I am able to login with the login.php page.

When I do I get this error.

?php // Script 13.4 - footer.html // Display general admin links... // - if the user is an administrator and it's not the logout.php page // - or if the $loggedin variable is true (i.e., the user just logged in) if ( (is_administrator() && (basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) != 'logout.php')) OR (isset($loggedin) && $loggedin) ) { // Create the links: print '

 

When I go to the add_quotes.php page I get this error.

When I try and add a quote I get this list of errors.

Here is my add_quotes.php code

I am getting a red underline error on the  ! is administrator line

I added LINE is # where each line error is for my error list above

<?php // Script 13.7 - add_quote.php
/* This script adds a quote. */

// Define a page title and include the header:
define('TITLE', 'Add a Quote');
include('templates/header.html');

print '<h2>Add a Quotation</h2>';

// Restrict access to administrators only:
if (!is_administrator()) { (THIS LINE IS GIVING ME AN ERROR)
	print '<h2>Access Denied!</h2><p class="error">You do not have permission to access this page.</p>';
	include('templates/footer.html');
	exit();
}

// Check for a form submission:
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { // Handle the form.

	if ( !empty($_POST['quote']) && !empty($_POST['source']) ) {

		// Need the database connection:
	LINE 23	include('C:/xampp/htdocs/PHP/Chapter13/mysqli_connect.php');

		// Prepare the values for storing:
	LINE 26	$quote = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, trim(strip_tags($_POST['quote'])));
	LINE 27	$source = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, trim(strip_tags($_POST['source'])));

		// Create the "favorite" value:
		if (isset($_POST['favorite'])) {
			$favorite = 1;
		} else {
			$favorite = 0;
		}

		$query = "INSERT INTO quotes (quote, source, favorite) VALUES ('$quote', '$source', $favorite)";
		LINE 37 mysqli_query($dbc, $query);

		LINE 39 if (mysqli_affected_rows($dbc) == 1){
			// Print a message:
			print '<p>Your quotation has been stored.</p>';
		} else {
			print '<p class="error">Could not store the quote because:<br>' . mysqli_error($dbc) . '.</p><p>The query being run was: ' . $query . '</p>';
		}

		// Close the connection:
		LINE 47 mysqli_close($dbc);

	} else { // Failed to enter a quotation.
	LINE 43	print '<p class="error">Please enter a quotation and a source!</p>';
	}

} // End of submitted IF.

// Leave PHP and display the form:
?>

<form action="add_quote.php" method="post">
	<p><label>Quote <textarea name="quote" rows="5" cols="30"></textarea></label></p>
	<p><label>Source <input type="text" name="source"></label></p>
	<p><label>Is this a favorite? <input type="checkbox" name="favorite" value="yes"></label></p>
	<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add This Quote!"></p>
</form>

<?php include('templates/footer.html'); ?>

This error is the cause of all, or most, of your problems:

Warning: include(C:/xampp/htdocs/PHP/Chapter13/mysqli_connect.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHP\Chapter 13\add_quote.php on line 23
 

Your reference to include mysqli_connect.php from add_quote.php is incorrect based upon how the two files are found on the server.
