Add_Page.Php


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I made a add_page.php according to the book "effortless e-commerce".

 

If you look at the content box on my web page (here's the link: http://ryan.divinehosting.ca/add_page.php), you will notice that your cursor starts way below the tool bar. So if I want to type something, I need to start from in the middle of this blank box. Also, if you go down hitting "enter" as you keep typing, the background of this website is showing up in this blank box..

 

It's weird...

 

Thanks in advance for your help and look forward to hearing from you soon.

You can login as an administer. I will change this info right after having your advice.

add_page.php codes I put on are below:

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php

 

// This page is used by an administrator to create a specific page of HTML content.

// This script is created in Chapter 5.

 

// Require the configuration before any PHP code as the configuration controls error reporting:

require ('./includes/config.inc.php');

 

// If the user isn't logged in as an administrator, redirect them:

redirect_invalid_user('user_admin');

 

// Include the header file:

$page_title = 'Add a Site Content Page';

include ('./includes/header.html');

 

// Require the database connection:

require(MYSQL);

 

// For storing errors:

$add_page_errors = array();

 

// Check for a form submission:

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {

 

// Check for a title:

if (!empty($_POST['title'])) {

$t = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, strip_tags($_POST['title']));

} else {

$add_page_errors['title'] = 'Please enter the title!';

}

 

// Check for a category:

if (filter_var($_POST['category'], FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, array('min_range' => 1))) {

$cat = $_POST['category'];

} else { // No category selected.

$add_page_errors['category'] = 'Please select a category!';

}

 

// Check for a description:

if (!empty($_POST['description'])) {

$d = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, strip_tags($_POST['description']));

} else {

$add_page_errors['description'] = 'Please enter the description!';

}

 

// Check for the content:

if (!empty($_POST['content'])) {

$allowed = '<div><p><span><br><a><img><h1><h2><h3><h4><ul><ol><li><blockquote>';

$c = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, strip_tags($_POST['content'], $allowed));

} else {

$add_page_errors['content'] = 'Please enter the content!';

}

 

if (empty($add_page_errors)) { // If everything's OK.

 

// Add the page to the database:

$q = "INSERT INTO pages (category_id, title, description, content) VALUES ($cat, '$t', '$d', '$c')";

$r = mysqli_query ($dbc, $q);

 

if (mysqli_affected_rows($dbc) == 1) { // If it ran OK.

 

// Print a message:

echo '<h4>The page has been added!</h4>';

 

// Clear $_POST:

$_POST = array();

 

// Send an email to the administrator to let them know new content was added?

 

} else { // If it did not run OK.

trigger_error('The page could not be added due to a system error. We apologize for any inconvenience.');

}

 

} // End of $add_page_errors IF.

 

} // End of the main form submission conditional.

 

// Need the form functions script, which defines create_form_input():

require ('includes/form_functions.inc.php');

?>

Hi Larry,

 

 

Thanks for your reply.

I reduced the width to 600. But it still has the same problem as before. I wonder the js file I attached has some problem. I put "tiny_mce" folder in my web root of the server. In tiny_mce, there are 'langs'folder, 'plugins' folder, 'themes' folder, 'utils' folder, licence, tiny_mce.js, tiny_mce_popup.js,and tiny_mce_src.js.

 

So it will look like it below.

 

www - tiny_mce - 'langs', 'plugins', 'themes', 'utils', licence, tiny_mce.js, tiny_mce_popup.js, tiny_mce_src.js.

 

 

Thanks again and look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

Ryan

In the bottom right hand corner of a text area you will see two small lines at a 45 degree angle.

 

Put your mouse over them, hold in the the left button (on a PC) and drag.

 

This will resize the area.

 

My cursor in Tiny_MCE does as yours does too.

 

Hope that helps
