Thanks in advance for any help that will be provided.
I recently took over a Network Administration position for a small company that uses PHP scripting for an IN House Intranet. The previous Net Admin passed away over Christmas and needless to say this has been quite a challenge.
Reason for this post is that he was running a WinXP Pro machine with IIS and MySql with PHP 4.3.4 installed. Everything has worked fine up untill yesterday when all of the sudden the users weren't able to login to their accounts. Basically, index.php contains a link for a login table to appear by using the link "<a href="http://10.10.1.83/index.php?app=9995">Login</a>" (I hope this doesn't show up as code.) This would previously load a login.php page within the same page in a table or layer. Now when the link is clicked, the address bar just changes to the above link and nothing happens. I have used a simple script to verify php is installed (phpinfo.php) and it displays all the copnfiguration options for PHP 4.3.4. I will upload/post the entire index.php below so that you can get an idea of what is being done. (I'm not sure how this forum handles html code so I will attach the index.php file as well.)

First of all what has this question to do with DA ?
Second do you run this on a server with DA ?

Third the file you provide is a HTML file and not a PHP file. So basicly the info you provide will lead to people guessing to your solution and there are thousands of other forums that discuss PHP problems. Probably you just made a mistake.
 
In response to previous reply...
The server is running DA, but the issue is not directly related to DA. I have seen many other post about issues not directly related to DA, so why are you grilling me? The majority of Dutch people I have met in person are very kind.
The filename I posted a copy of is named INDEX.PHP, it is HTML code embedded with PHP, so therefore I posted the question in the correct forum.

TO OTHERS WHO MAY BE MORE HELPFUL, THANKS..

A small update, if I run PHPINFO.PHP the information/configuration page displays the current configuration, I have attached a copy of it for anyone to take a look at, but be aware that I have not changed anything since the problem first arose. The only thing I did that may be linked to the problem occurring is I used a .txt editor to modify some of the HTML code within INDEX.HTML then saved it, after that the problem arose. Thanks again to those with helpful input. ;)

Sorry but the sample posted above doesn't show any PHP information and doesn't help us in anyway with information about the problem.

As you say you used a text editor to modify the script.. do you use php as cgi ? If so use dos2unix command under ssh on the file to convert the newlines if you use the configuration implemented by DA that shouldn't be an issue
 
So the link that directs the browser to (http://10.10.1.83/index.php?app=9995) is not using any part of php do direct to another page? I'm not an expert, hence the questions, but I thought the value "app=9995" was crossed referenced in a SQL database to equal another page/file (i.e login.php, which is the page that used to load.) If this is not the case, then could you explain the reason for the app= value? Thanks.

<a href="http://10.10.1.83/index.php?app=9995">Login</a>

This just a normal link nothing special and just opens the page in the browser window. If you want it to do something else you should use javascript or in frames just use TARGET=[framename] in your <A> tag.

I'm not going to explain in detail how you could do this or how to do it as I don't know wich application you're reffering to.

?app=9995 just parses a variable to PHP or the script that app is equal to 9995. It is up to the script login.php to deal with this and I can't tell you what it does :)

That is correct. There is NO php code of any kind in the index.php file you posted.

There is no reference to login.php anywhere in your code. If it used to load, then it loaded for some other reason besides anything you've posted.
If this is not the case, then could you explain the reason for the app= value?
Click to expand...
I imagine whoever coded it might, but I don't think any of us are clairvoyant. There is NOTHING in your index.php file you posted that would use that value for anything at all.

Alright Alright Alright.....
You guys have busted my BALLS about not knowing anything about PHP code, I admitted that.. Let me give a brief background.
I just started a new job as IT admin. They asked for someone that knew LAN/WAN layouts, server maintenance, etc. No problem for me. The previous IT admin passed away over Christmas Holidays and they knew nothing about what he actually did. So I get here and realize this guy was doing ALOT more than we had previously thought. He is hosting our web site and intranet, both which execute PHP code. Everything was fine for a few weeks, I could update the content of our site and what not. But all of the sudden yesterday, our intranet stopped doing whatever "app=9995" was supposed to do (its a Log Into the System link, so I assumed that it loaded a file in our wwwroot named login.php.) Basically I am asking why would any link on the page stop working after they worked fine and nothing (to my knowledge) has changed?
 
Sarcoise,

As said above we still can't help you if we haven't got all the information. Best thing you can do is Hire a PHP programmer or just a one time thing to look at the stuff and correct (if it is simple) the problem.

You can take hours posting in forums, but if you don't have any idea on how the script works and don't know anything about php, I would recommend to let someone with more PHP knowledge fix it.
 
I will try to help. First of all, where did you get the output of index.php that you posted above? Did you get it from a "View Source" in a web browser? Because if you did, the PHP code will not show up. You need to copy the file index.php from the server and open it in a text editor and post that code here so that we can see the actual PHP code.

You will see tags that look like:

<?php ?>

That surround the PHP code.

Also, in that code, you might see something that looks like:

if($_GET['app']=='9995'){

under this code it would tell it what to do if app=9995.

Try to do this and post the code here.

ALRIGHT - After getting my balls busted, you guys actually helped me out. Everyone kept saying there was no PHP code in the file I posted, and that I must have gotten it from the view source within IE. I knew this was wrong because I was getting the file from the server out of WWWROOT. But it HAD to have some sort of PHP code within it. Light bulb went off.. One of the hardware guys was in here and knows a little about HTML wanted to take the "Happy Holidays" off the index page on our intranet. I thought no problem, simple HTML. He loaded the page in IE, viewed the source in NOTEPAD, took out the message, then saved the file to overwrite the INDEX.PHP. The index page only logs in users and users stay logged in for days at a time so it was over a week before I started getting calls saying they couldn't log in. Didn't see a connection between the two. Luckily I had a backup of the file and simply copied it back to the folder.
You guys were busting my balls over what little I knew when one of you should have seen that right off the bat.. :) NO PHP source in the file means the code was already executed and the view source only displays the results in HTML. Who woulda thought?!
Anyway, I disregarded the message saying that "I should hire someone who knows what they are doing" because I know the guy that said that wasn't BORN with the ability to code in PHP.
From looking over more of the code, it looks VERY MUCH like C++, which I know very well.. I just wasn't sure how the code relates to the web, i.e. when I code something in C++ I get an .EXE file, PHP seems to compile on the fly server side, displaying the results in HTML. This concept was new to me.
In Closing, you guys will probably see more of me in the future as I hope to expand my knowledge of the language. Here's just a suggestion - if someone posts a question that seems retarded to you, you aren't GOD because "I know something you don't know". It would be easy to make others feel more welcome. Is it just that you don't want new people to join? Just a thought. L8er

I never doubted you, and was just trying to help. I'm glad you found the problem. Just goes to show you, when you think that "Absolutely Nothing Changed", that it is not usually the case. :D I've had many problems similar to yours which is what has enhanced my web programming troubleshooting. Good Luck with the new Job.
