    LAMP Forum solution (revised article code)

    Reply Contact

    I've amended the code to 1) work 2) work with MySql (see table at bottom)

    forum.php:
    Code:

    <? # original code Jayesh Jain, amends by me, still needs form input validation, etc
    include("connect.php"); # Your connection details?>
    <HTML>
    <BODY>
    Discussion Forum using PHP/<s>Access</s> MySql under <s>IIS</s> Apache<BR>
    <BR>
    <A HREF='node.php?node=0'>Post New Message</A>
    <?

    shownode(0); // display all the main threads

    // This function is a recursive function which shall display all the branches
    // and sub branches of the threads
    function shownode($nodecode) {
      global $link; // using the global variable for connection
      // Get a list of all the sub nodes which specific parentcode
      #$noderesult = odbc_exec($connect,"select * from forum where parentcode = $nodecode");
     
      $sql = "SELECT code, title, uname, email FROM forum WHERE parentcode = '$nodecode'";
      $result = mysql_query($sql);
     
      echo "<UL type='disc'>";
      while(list($code, $title, $uname, $email) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
          echo "<LI>";
          echo "<A HREF='node.php?node=$code'> $title </A>";
          echo "-- by ($uname) $email<BR>";
          shownode($code);
      }
      echo "</UL>";
    }?>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    node.php:
    Code:

    <? # original code Jayesh Jain, amends by me, still needs form input validation, etc
    include("connect.php"); # Your connection details

    $submit = $_POST[submit];
    if(isset($submit)) // check if submitted button is clicked
    {
      // insert the record in the database
      $sql = "INSERT INTO forum (parentcode,title,description,uname,email) VALUES ('$_POST[node]','$_POST[title]','$_POST[description]','$_POST[postname]','$_POST[email]')";
      #echo "<br>".$sql."<br>";
      $result = mysql_query($sql);
     
      header("location:forum.php"); // open forum.php file to display the thread
    }
    ?>
    <CENTER>Post to Discussion Forum using PHP/<s>Access</s> MySql under <s>IIS</s> Apache</CENTER>
    <?
    $node = $_GET[node];
    if ( $node != 0 ){
      // Displaying the details of the thread
      echo "<HR>";
     
      $sql = "SELECT code, title, uname, email FROM forum WHERE code = '$node'";
      #echo "<br>".$sql."<br>";
      $result = mysql_query($sql);
      list($code,$title,$uname,$email) = mysql_fetch_row($result);?>
      <?=$title?> by (<?=$uname?> <?$email?><BR>
      <?=$description?>
      <BR>
      <HR>
    <?}?>
    <!-- Form to enter the message -->
    <FORM method='post' action='node.php'>
    Name : <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=postname> <BR>
    E-Mail : <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=email> <BR>
    Title : <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=title VALUE = '' size=50> <BR>
    Description : <BR> <TEXTAREA name=description rows=10 cols=45></TEXTAREA>
    <!-- we need a hidden field to store the node -->
    <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=node value='<? echo $_GET[node];?>'> <BR>
    <INPUT type=submit name=submit value='Post Message'>
    </FORM>

    and finally MySql table (as original, really): 

    
#

    
# Table structure for table `forum`

    
#

    


    
CREATE TABLE forum (

    
  code int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,

    
  parentcode int(11) NOT NULL default '0',

    
  title text NOT NULL,

    
  description text NOT NULL,

    
  uname text NOT NULL,

    
  email text NOT NULL,

    
  UNIQUE KEY code (code)

    
) TYPE=MyISAM;

    I check the node.php file and the the above line of code are exactly the same.  I still get the same error "Notice: Undefined variable: node in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\node.php on line 15".  The error is in the line if ( $node != 0 ).  I jus want to see how a simple forum works.  Thanks for your help.

    People might want to note that you must have PHP version 4 for this to work, it will not work for version 5.  I think if php.exe is replaced with php-win.exe it might work in version 5.

    Hi

    I've gone through the instructions to install PHP and test, create the access database, add the two PHP files and then test the forum.

     

    I can access forum.php fine and input data into node.php but when I click on 'Post Message' my inputted text disappears and nothing is written to the Access database?  I thought it may have been a permissions issue but both 'Everyone' and the 'IUSR' account have Full Control NTFS permissions to the Access database?

    I've tried using both version 4 and version 5 of PHP but get the same problem?

    Can you advise?

    Thanks!
