Another Styleswitcher fail

[Nick]

Put this at the top of your code, it should print any errors that the parser encounters:

<?php 
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
?>

Or, just add the ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL); to the PHP code block that you've already got. Make sure it's at the top, though.

 

[Diz]

<?php

('error_reporting', E_ALL);

if(isset($_COOKIE['style']){
    $no = intval($_COOKIE['style']);
    $style['1'] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet.css';
    $style['2'] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet2.css';
    $style['3'] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet3.css';
    $style['4'] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet4.css';
    print "<link rel='stylesheet' href='" . $style[$no] . "' />";
}
else { 
    print "<link rel='stylesheet' media='all' type='text/css' href='/stylesheet.css' />";  
}

?>

Like so?

 

[Peter Shadeslayer]

You can email me Ditto, or talk to me on Google or Facebook. [I'm Peter from T.I.T.]

 

[Nick]

No, you need the ini_set before the bracket.

 

[Diz]

Which bracket?

Oh, duh. Nevermind that.

Ok, so when I corrected that, and added it to my pages, I opened up the file on my own system, and this is what I saw:

"; } else { print ""; } ?> and then the rest of my page, with no formating. Does this help?

Sounds like a faulty editor or something.

Oh, never mind that, I was thinking you were looking at the actual file. In the browser, of course; it treats everything between the angled brackets as html. This includes <?php * />.

 

[Diz]

Well, I was e-mailing with Peter, and I got it fixed! Or at least the default style appears. When I click the links to some of the other styles, the page refreshes, but the default style shows up again.

 

[Peter Shadeslayer]

Ok, the URLs to change styles should be like this:

http://ditto.ifastnet.com/styleswitcher.php?style=2

That'll change it and cookie it and everything. :D

 

[Diz]

Does that go on every page also? or just the place where the choice of style is made?

 

[Peter Shadeslayer]

Wherever the links are to change styles. Example:
<a href="http://ditto.ifastnet.com/styleswitcher.php?style=1">Style 1</a>
<a href="http://ditto.ifastnet.com/styleswitcher.php?style=2">Style 2</a>
etc...

Upon clicking those, the style will be changed. :D

 

[Diz]

Okay, so I do that, and then when I click on the link on my actual page, it takes me to my 404.

 

[Peter Shadeslayer]

Nonononono. XD

You have the links like this:
<a href="http://ditto.ifastnet.com/styleswitcher2.php?style=2">Link</a>
<a href="http://ditto.ifastnet.com/styleswitcher3.php?style=3">Link</a>

You only have to put the style number after the 'style=' part, not after 'styleswitcher'. :D

 

[Diz]

Gotcha!

And it's still not working. The normal style shows up fine on the home page, but on any other page, plain black and white. And when I click on a style, it takes me back to the home page, with the normal style

my about me file is an example of this

this is its code

<?php
    $style[1] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet.css';
    $style[2] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet2.css';
    $style[3] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet3.css';
    $style[4] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet4.css';
if(!isset($_COOKIE['style']))
{
     $no = 1;
}

else
{
    $no = $_COOKIE['style'];
}
?>

This is what is in my styleswitcher file. I don't think it is a problem, because the index page works

<?php

$style[1] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet.css';
$style[2] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet2.css';
$style[3] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet3.css';
$style[4] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet4.css';

$no = $_GET['style'];

if($style[$no]){
    $expiration = 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 100 + time();
    setcookie('style', $no, $expiration);
    
    header("Location: http://ditto.ifastnet.com/home.php");
}
elseif($no>count($style)){
    print "Invalid style! Please don't try to hack DD";
}
?>

and the link to change styles:

<a href="http://ditto.ifastnet.com/styleswitcher.php?style=1">Normal Ditto Style</a><br>
<a href="http://ditto.ifastnet.com/styleswitcher.php?style=2">Shiny Ditto Style</a><br>
<a href="http://ditto.ifastnet.com/styleswitcher.php?style=3">Spring Style</a><br>
<a href="http://ditto.ifastnet.com/styleswitcher.php?style=4">Electric Style</a><br>

 

[Peter Shadeslayer]

The reason the other pages aren't working right is you haven't changed the code to what I emailed you, lol. :] I changed it around a lot. =O


Maybe make sure the stylesheet HTML declaration is as follows:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $style[$no]; ?>" type="text/css" />

My guess is that I messed up the piece at the top of the page on the first if() statement.

Although... try changing (in the styleswitcher.php file)

if($style[$no]){
    $expiration = 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 100 + time();
    setcookie('style', $no, $expiration);
    
    header("Location: http://ditto.ifastnet.com/home.php");
}

TO

if(file_exists($style[$no])){
    $expiration = 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 100 + time();
    setcookie('style', $no, $expiration);
    header("Location: http://ditto.ifastnet.com/home.php");
}

If that doesn't fix it, try changing the top from

if(!isset($_COOKIE['style']))
{
     $no = 1;
}

TO

if($_COOKIE['style'])
{
     $no = 1;
}

I'm sure I could come up with more if I looked harder. There's a list of all kinds of stuff to fix. It works on my server; probably there's a piece of code that I copied incorrectly from my editor. :]

 

[Diz]

So I did the second thing, the part about styleswitcher.php, and it didn't work. So I changed this:

if(!isset($_COOKIE['style'])) 
{ 
     $no = 1; 
}

And then my page returned to it's original non-formatted self.

I didn't do anything with this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $style[$no]; ?>" type="text/css" />

 

[Nick]

This code:

if($_COOKIE['style'])
{
     $no = 1;
}

Will completely negate the point of the styleswitcher. Translate the code to English:

If the a cookie named style has a value, $no = 1.

 

[1. Luftballon]

the code had a call to isset

 

[Nick]

No, he said to strip the isset out.

 

[Peter Shadeslayer]

You're right, negate that option. I suppose debugging code at 2 AM is a bad idea.

 

[Diz]

So I put the site on hiatus so that we can get this fixed without people seeing our failed attempts.

<?php
    $style[1] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet.css';
    $style[2] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet2.css';
    $style[3] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet3.css';
    $style[4] = 'http://ditto.ifastnet.com/stylesheet4.css';
if($_COOKIE['style'])
{
     $no = 1;
}  

else
{
    $no = $_COOKIE['style'];
}
?>
