PHP in Html format is not working?

mohit · #1 (**permalink**) 08-24-06, 12:07 AM

hi friends..

i used this code then it is working properly

Code:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/us_constitution/uscon.css">
<title>xyz:<?php echo $stringData; ?></title>
</head>

that means it is showing colors too.
but when i used this code like this

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $base_url; ?>/uscon.css">
<title>xyz:<?php echo $stringData; ?></title>
</head>

where $base_url="/us_constitution";

but this is not showing that color..

i'm not getting where it is wrong while the same thing was working in perl.

When you do a "view source" in a browser, does the second version show the proper contents?

ok..you check this code my php script..

PHP Code:


			
<html>

<?php

$stringData=$_GET['q'];

$stringval=$_GET['offset'];



/*$stringData='' unless defined $stringData;

$stringval=0 unless defined $stringval;*/

// outputs the username that owns the running php/httpd process

// (on a system with the "search" executable in the path)

//exec("\"search.exe" $stringData $stringval\"&2>1);





$base_url= get_value_of('BaseUrl');

function get_value_of($name)

{

     $lines = file('config.txt');



     foreach (array_values($lines) AS $line)

     {

          list($key, $val) = explode('=', trim($line) );



          if (trim($key) == $name)

          {

                return trim($val);

          }

     }

     return false;

}



?>



<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/us_constitution/uscon.css">

<title>xyz:<?php echo $stringData; ?></title>

</head>



<body>



<div id="navigation">

<form id="usconSearch" action="">

<strong>

Search the <a href="/<?php echo $base_url; ?>/index.html">US Constitution</a>:

</strong>

<input type="text" name="q" id="q" value="<?php echo $stringData; ?>">

<input type="submit" value="Search">

<input type="hidden" name="offset" value="0">

</form>

</div><!--navigation-->



<div id="bodytext">

<?php



exec('search.exe amendment 10',$result);

echo $result[0];

?>



<p style="font-size: smaller; color: #666">

<em>Powered by

<a href="/xyz/Index.html">

powered by xyz

</a>

</em>

</p>

</div><!--bodytext-->



</body>



</html>

when i call this script first time it shows a search age like google.
. with consider the above problem at that time i was not talking about content. now you can understand better to view this code and first post problem...

and both version showing first page with proper content but difference of only color. one is showing other is not showing...

let me know if you need more info

Well your code is certainly interesting...

First of all are you aware of the $_SERVER['SEVER_NAME'] and $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] variables in php? if not I would recommend reading up on php.net about them.

Secondly your get_value_of function is adding a ton of additional overhead that you could of just got away with declaring constants or variables in an include file and including it via include('filename.php');

Lastly I believe your best bet is to do a var_dump or echo on the variable before your html head block and after and see what is happening to that variable. I would also recommend fully-qualifing i.e. http://servername.tld/path/to/file the href as well, there could be something going on internally.

hi,

i have solve the problem to read xml in php....
for that i used DOM object. it worked fine.
but after reading via it i want to convert my xml in html formatting.
the following code is just reading value from xml and converting into html.

but this is not showing the value and taking all object as string

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$output = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>';

$output .='<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="my_css.css"?>';

$output .= shell_exec("search.pl $stringData $stringval");

//exec('search.exe "$stringData" "$stringval"',$output);

//echo $output;

$dom=new DOMDocument();

$dom->LoadXML($output);

$root = $dom->documentElement;

//echo $root->nodeName;

$report='';

if ($root->hasChildNodes())

{

 $children = $root->childNodes;

     foreach($children as $node)

     {

          

          //print $node->nodeName."\n";

          if ($node->nodeName=="Result")

          {

               if ($node->hasChildNodes())

               {

                    $element=$dom->getElementsByTagName("Result");

                    $length = $element->length;

                    if($length>1)

                    {

                        $report .= '<p>

                         <a href="$element->item(URL)->nodeValue"><strong>$element->item(Title)->nodeValue</strong></a>

                         <em>$element->item(Score)->nodeValue</em>

                         <br>

                         $element->item(BodyText)->nodeValue

                         <br>

                         <span class=excerptURL>$element->item(URL)->nodeValue</span></p>';

                         print $report;

                    }

                    else

                    {

                       $report .="<p>$node->nodeValue</p>";

                   print $report;  

                    }

                   

               }

               

          }

          else

          {}

        

     }

}

?>

where xml is

PHP Code:


			
<main>

<Result> 

<Title>"some text her"</Title>

<BodyText>"some value"</BodyText>

<URL>""</URL>

</Result>

<Result> 

<Title>"some text her"</Title>

<BodyText>"some value"</BodyText>

<URL>""</URL>

</Result>

<qry>""</qry>

<url>""</url>

</main>

PHP Code:


			
  <p> <a href="$element->item(URL)->nodeValue"><strong>$element->item(Title)->nodeValue</strong></a>

                         <em>$element->item(Score)->nodeValue</em>

                         <br>

                         $element->item(BodyText)->nodeValue

                         <br>
