Homemade PHP Shoutbox has some errors, help if you have the time

sixthcrusifix · December 03, 2005, 10:37:39 AM

This shoutbox DID work before I edited it and now I don't know what I did. It had to be changed though it was really stupid and used like 1000 <? ?> tags instad of putting it in one. It has 2 big errors:

1. I get the following error message in teh shoutbox:

Notice: Undefined variable: message in /fpgs/fpgshttpd/sixthcrusifix/shoutbox.php on line 49

2. Instead of the the name showing up I get the text "name=". I dunno why either.

Here is the actuall code (you can see the shoutbox HERE

Code Select



&lt;?php include(&quot;shoutbbcode.php&quot;); 

 include(&quot;defaultcss.php&quot;);

?&gt;


&lt;body bgcolor=&quot;009800&quot;&gt;

&lt;table align=&quot;left&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; background=&quot;http://crystalchasm.net/Content.gif&quot; bordercolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; &gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The Final Destiny&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;

if(isset($submit))  

{
   //use the PHP date function for the time
   $time=date(&quot;h:ia d/j/y&quot;);
   $SQL = &quot;INSERT INTO shoutbox1 (id,name,message,time)
      VALUES ('NULL','$name', '$message','$time')&quot;;

   // inserting it into the shoutbox table which we made in the mysql statements before
   $result=MYSQL_QUERY($SQL,$conn)  or die(mysql_error()) ;

}

?&gt;
&lt;?
//returning the last 5 messages
$result = mysql_query(&quot;select * from shoutbox1 order by id desc limit 10&quot;) or die(mysql_error()) ;

//the while loop
while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{		
   //getting each variable from the table
   $time=$r[&quot;time&quot;]; 
   $id=$r[&quot;id&quot;];
   $message=$r[&quot;message&quot;];
   $name=$r[&quot;name&quot;];

 include(&quot;shoutbbcode.php&quot;); 
 echo(&quot; $b $name $b_ $br $message3 $br$br &quot;);
}


?&gt;



&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;

&lt;td bgcolor=&quot;#009800&quot;&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;

&lt;form action=&quot;&lt;? echo($PHP_SELF) ?&gt;&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;&gt;

&lt;INPUT TYPE='TEXT' value='name' NAME='name' SIZE=30 maxlength='100'&gt;

&lt;INPUT TYPE='TEXT' value='message' NAME='message' SIZE=30 maxlength='69'&gt;

&lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; NAME=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;submit&quot;&gt;

&lt;/form&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

here is the source of shoutbbcode.php if you need it:

Code Select


&lt;?php

For the "Notice" message, you can eliminate those by selecting the default error reporting level of "All But Notice & Strict" which will show you all errors accept E_Notice and E_Strict in your PHP scripts.

As for the code you entered, unless the board converted the characters, your file does not contain the <,>,=, etc characters, but their HTML equivilents.
