starter question

[ccd]

i am new to asp.net and just starting out with WebMatrix
guided tour tutorial from ASP.NET. I managed to create the
myfirstpage.aspx (Label, text, calendar, button) and ran
it with webmatrix server smoothly.

However when I tried to create and use the IIS Virtual
Root (under Start Web Application), the browser only
showed the Label part. It also showed an exclamation mark
(error sign). I even copied the myfirstpage.aspx file to
the default web folder (\Inetpub\wwwroot) but to no avail.

What did I do wrong?

I did install everything, right:
IIS
the .NEt framework
webmatrix
sql2kdesksp3.exe
and mdac 2.7

The system runs on Windows 2000 Pro SP4 and it has its own
static IP.

I tried the iis ftp and web using regular html and it
works fine... but not the myfirstpage.aspx.

HElppppp.

Hello, I kind of have a problem. The thing is that I make a .html file that
is supposed to make a .php file run... (totally common) The problem is that
I can't get variables from the .html file to work in the .php file. I have
changed the name adding the '$' but nothing happens.

Also, when I double click on the .html file the form appears and then when I
click in the link to the (same as before) .php file the dialog to save or
open the .php file appears instead of runing.


Thanks

I'm not sure I understand, so I pre-apologize if I explain this in a
way you're not trying to go, but if you're using your PHP script as
the action to your form, then you can access the form's "variables"
via php's superglobals; $_GET/$_POST (respective to the method you
chose in your form).

As for your problem with your browser trying to save the php file, it
sounds like you don't have the proper file type specified in your web
server configuration. Now, I have the most experience with Apache, and
assuming that's what you're using, you could put the following in
either your httpd.conf or .htaccess file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

If you placed that in your httpd.conf, you will need to restart your
web server, before the change will take affect. Also note, you're not
limited to just .php as an extension, you could name it whatever you
want to use; provided your PHP files end with that extension.

If this doesn't cover what you're trying to do, please reply with more
specific information such as web server name and version, php version,
and what exactly you're doing.

I checked my httpd.conf file and it already had that line, And I don't
really understand how exactly to use the $_get/$_post. I put them in the
line where it says: '<form action="enviar.php" method="post">' and nothing
happened.

I am using APACHE 1.1, PHP 2.02 and phpED. What I'm trying to do is a
form (named 'formulario.html') where you put some personal information, when
you press the 'enviar' button it (should) run enviar.php and search for a
variable ('rut') in a database (MySQL) to see if it exists and if it doesnt
it should insert the rest of the info to the database.


Thanks

I strongly suggest you upgrade, php is currently on 4.3.x and v 5 will be
out soon enough so it shows how old your version is. If you developed a
script that worked on that setup I doubt it would work anywhere else as PHP
has changed tremendously since then.

regarding post and get, depending on the method of the forum determines
which 1 you will use but inyour pgp script when using gor example a variable
that was sent via get you would use it by putting $_GET['variable_name'] in
your php script where you wanted to use that particular variable.

[eclipsboi]

Wow. Ok, $_POST and $_GET won't work for you. Um, I don't know what to
tell you, you are using very archaic versions of both Apache and PHP
(And I'm not one to just suggest to upgrade, that's your choice).
