I am completely new to this and used the tutorial to get a guestbook up on my site and read but didnt touch any of the scripting. My problem is that when I go to the guestbook online the following happens:
-
Page displays with the previous, next and add message buttons but no “total message” or “showing message” fields.
-
I add a message (if I leave out the name/message fields I do get the error warnings) and press send - the previous and next buttons dissappear and the message count shows as 0 and the “showing message” field appears too. If I click add message again the message I’ve just written comes up in the message input fields.
-
If I add a message and click close and not send and then click add message again the message I’ve written also comes up in the input fields but the message count and “showing message” fields dont. (unless I do this after having first done a send in which case the message count and showing messages fields remain).
-
In my browser activity window all the files show as loaded (guestbook.swf, guestbook.xml and processXML.php)
To set permissions on my site I dont have the CHMOD numbers but the following options:
Full control
Read/Execute
Modify = Read/Execute/Write
Read
I’ve set this as Full Control
If I access the XML file directly I get the following message “XML Parsing Error” (no details of the type of error).
If I access the PHP file directly I get “Undefined variable:HTTP_RAW_POST.DATA on line 3” - I understand from the tutorial that this is to be expected if you do access it directly.
Can anyone help me with this? Is there anything I should be asking my host? (I was going to put in my path to the guestbook in this post but having set the permissions as full control is it safe to do so?)
Oh just thought - the one thing I did do in Flash was alias the text - dont know if that would have had any effect - and its a Flash 2004 file set to publish as Flash MX (player 6 AS1.0)
