Hi,
Does anyone of you have, or know where I can find, a "recommend a friend" script?

Thanks!

Try http://hotscripts.com I have a few of them, but I don't know which CD I've put them all on :p

Ok!

I've installed PHP 4.2.3 (to my hard disk, c:\php) and I've downloaded a zip file of such a script.
How do I put it on my site and how do I start customizing it?I've unzipped the file, but when I copy the code into my html, it doesn't work.

Thanks!

Are you running your site from your PC? If you are, you'll need a server to run the php. Apache is the best one for it. PHP doesn't work in a *.HTML file, the file must be saved as *.php.

You should have a readme file in the zip file, that will tell you how to set your tell-a-friend script up

No, my site is online, so I probably should be able to put it on the site. How do I do this?

Ahh, in that case you didn't need to download php :). First, check to see if your host provides php by creating this file

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Save this as info.php, upload to your site and go to http://www.yoursite.com/info.php

If you see a list of information with tables having purple headers, then you have php.

Then if you have php, upload your tell-a-friend script after reading the readme file included with it and editing the correct files (if you need to edit any). Then go to the file that's your tell-a-friend, http://www.yoursite.com/tell-a-friend.php

So, if I'm correct, the php-page can also contain HTML elements (so I can have the same layouton the .php page as well)?

Sorry for posting the same message 3 times! :rolleyes:
I have another question for you: I also want to have a poll on my index.html page.
How do I do this? Rename index.html to index.php, since you said html cannot contain php... or am I wrong again?
Nightfire
10-20-2002, 06:02 PM
Yeah, have to rename your index to index.php and to add your poll into the page, use

<?php
include("yourpollpage.php");
?>

I've tried to put this in the body section of my site:
<?php_
____phpinfo();
?>

But then I get the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/visie/public_html/info.php on line 13

Does that mean that I don't have PHP?
comicw
10-20-2002, 08:08 PM
Ok! It works, it gave an error, then I uploaded it again and then it was ok!
Nightfire
10-20-2002, 08:09 PM
Even though you got an error, you do have php. The error is coz you got the ____ in the script. If you take all those lines out, it'll work. And do it in a file with nothing else on. Just a file with <?php phpinfo(); ?> in, no html or anything
comicw
10-20-2002, 08:11 PM
One more question...
How do I place the poll on the place where I want it in my index.php?
Nightfire
10-20-2002, 08:14 PM
Find the place you want to add it to in the html, then add <?php include("thepollpagename.php"); ?> into there
comicw
11-02-2002, 01:55 PM
I tried it out, with my tell a friend script since the poll-script isn't configured yet.

I edited the page and made a table where the PHP script should come.

However, the php code seems to "override" the HTML and javascript code, because it didn't show the javascript menu on the page.

Here is the code of the page:

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">

So, somewhere in the middle I inserted the php script, but the layout doesn't stay the same. How can this be fixed?

PS: I did change the .htm page into .php

Not surprised it's now showing right. Your HTML is a mess. Where's the </tr>'s in your menu?

Hi,

I've cleaned up the html code of my page, renamed it to .php , but the php script still overrules the layout (everything is shown correctly except the right-side javascript menu bar). In the 2 posts below, I've posted the code for the page and the actual php script respectively.

The PHP script:

<?php



// number of friend fields to put on the page
$tellnumber = "5";

// subject of email
$subject = "Beleggingsvisie: uitnodiging";

// Message sent in the email
$message = "Op www.beleggingsvisie.be vindt u een aparte kijk op beleggen, die bewezen heeft 6 jaar op rij succesvol te kunnen zijn. Neem dus beslist eens een kijkje";

// url to redirect user to once they click submit
$thankyouurl = "http://www.beleggingsvisie.be";





/////


if($submitform) {

$num=0;
while($num < $tellnumber) {
$num++;

If you put the PHP in a certain place, (eg. between a <td> and </td>) the display that it returns will be in that table cell.
