muhaidib · 06-11-2005, 01:17 AM

hey all,,, i installed apache/php/mysql in my PC..

and i want to install another dropdown box aside from the style choser in my site www.7des.com

sO..

this is what i done..

index.php

PHP Code:


			
<?   

if (isset($_POST['style']))    

{   

  $style_sheet = $_POST['style'];    

} else {   

  $style_sheet = !empty ($_COOKIE['css']) ? $_COOKIE['css'] : 'default';   

} 



setcookie('css',$style_sheet,time()+999999999);  



?>   



<?   

if (isset($_POST['lang']))    

{   

  $lang_sheet = $_POST['lang'];    

} else {   

  $lang_sheet = !empty ($_COOKIE['lan']) ? $_COOKIE['lan'] : 'en';   

} 



setcookie('css',$style_sheet,time()+999999999);  



?>  



<html> 



<head> 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"> 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> 

<?php     

    echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/'.$style_sheet.'.css">';   

?> 

<?php     

    include ("lang/'.$lang_sheet.'.php");   

?>



<title>lang test</title> 

</head>



<body>



<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="800" class="none" id="table1">

        <tr>

            <td width="11%"><font size="1" color="#666666">

                <form name="style" method="post">  

                <br>  

                   <select name="style" class="field" size="1" onChange="document.style.submit();"> 

                <option selected>-----</option>

                <option value="default">Fire Grey</option>  

                </select>

                <noscript>

                <input type="submit" class="field" /> 

                </noscript> 

                &nbsp;style</form>

                <form>

                   <br>  

                   <select name="lang" class="field" size="1" onChange="document.lang.submit();"> 

                <option selected>-----</option>

                <option value="english">en</option>  

                <option value="arabic">ar</option>

                </select>

                <noscript>

                <input type="submit" class="field" /> 

                </noscript> 

                lang</form>

            </font></td>

        </tr>

    </table>

<p>the code &lt;?php echo $lang['lang'] ?&gt; is in the next line,, if its set to 

english then it should echo&nbsp; &quot;lang is english&quot; and in arabic it should echo 

&quot;lang is arabic&quot;</p>

start of code -------(  <?php echo $lang['lang'] ?> )------- end of code

</body>



</html>

and lang/english.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$lang['lang'] = 'lang is english';





?>

and in arabic.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$lang['lang'] = 'lang is arabic';



?>

by the way i kept the style selector just to conform that it still works,,,

so when i opend index.php i fot the following

xiaodao · 06-11-2005, 02:23 AM

i went to your site, nothing wrong the style chooser

delinear · 06-11-2005, 02:51 AM

Well this:

PHP Code:


			
include ("lang/'.$lang_sheet.'.php");

Should probably be written as:

PHP Code:


			
include ("lang/$lang_sheet.php");

Or as:

PHP Code:


			
include ('lang/'.$lang_sheet.'.php');

As for the headers already sent error, this is most likely being cause by this bit of code:

PHP Code:


			
?>    



<?    

if (isset($_POST['lang']))     

{    

  $lang_sheet = $_POST['lang'];     

} else {    

  $lang_sheet = !empty ($_COOKIE['lan']) ? $_COOKIE['lan'] : 'en';    

}  



setcookie('css',$style_sheet,time()+999999999);   



?>

You close the PHP tags, insert a newline and then open the PHP tags again. Unfortunately that newline gets sent to the browser which means no more headers can be sent so as soon as you try and write the following cookie (which has to be sent with the header data) it generates the header already sent error. If you are sending headers from PHP, including writing sessions or cookies, then it cannot be stressed enough that you can't output anything to the browser at all before you do so, not even a single little whitespace. Just get rid of the ?> <? at the start of that section of code and hopefully the error should go away.

Incidentally, in this code snippet you are setting a cookie called css but then trying to access a cookie called lan, I assume you meant to have setcookie('lan',$style_sheet... etc.

muhaidib · 06-11-2005, 02:51 AM

lol i know,,,

i was talking about adding a LANG selector aside to the style choser

i didn't even upload the lang info

the tests above where done on my PC (i have apache/php installed)

muhaidib · 06-11-2005, 03:03 AM

ohhh delinear we posted in the same minutes what are the odds lol,,,

thanx for your info

i fixed the spelling mistake,, but the script is still broken

but thank you any ways

muhaidib · 06-11-2005, 03:05 AM

here is the code up to </head> in index.php

PHP Code:


			
<?   

if (isset($_POST['style']))    

{   

  $style_sheet = $_POST['style'];    

} else {   

  $style_sheet = !empty ($_COOKIE['css']) ? $_COOKIE['css'] : 'default';   

} 



setcookie('css',$style_sheet,time()+999999999);  



?>   



<?   

if (isset($_POST['lang']))    

{   

  $lang_sheet = $_POST['lang'];    

} else {   

  $lang_sheet = !empty ($_COOKIE['lan']) ? $_COOKIE['lan'] : 'en';   

} 



setcookie('css',$style_sheet,time()+999999999);  



?>  



<html> 



<head> 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"> 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> 

<?php     

    echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/'.$style_sheet.'.css">';    

    include ('lang/'.$lang_sheet.'.php');

?>



<title>lang test</title> 

</head>

muhaidib · 06-11-2005, 03:11 AM

ohh ohh wait a sec!

there was a wrong file mistake,,, there was "en" and "english"..

so i fixed that,, the only problem left is

PHP Code:


			
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:webindex.php:13) in c:webindex.php on line 21

delinear · 06-11-2005, 03:19 AM

As I said before, I think this is being caused by the following (see my comments in the code for further explanation):

PHP Code:


			
<?    

if (isset($_POST['style']))     

{    

  $style_sheet = $_POST['style'];     

} else {    

  $style_sheet = !empty ($_COOKIE['css']) ? $_COOKIE['css'] : 'default';    

}  



setcookie('css',$style_sheet,time()+999999999);   



// you're closing the php tags here and inserting a newline, this causes the headers to be sent before your second cookie can be set!

?>    



<?

// and now you're opening the php tags again but the damage has been done, delete these two tags and you should be fine    

if (isset($_POST['lang']))

If you delete the two tags where I put the comment above it should fix the problem:

PHP Code:


			
<?    

if (isset($_POST['style']))     

{    

  $style_sheet = $_POST['style'];     

} else {    

  $style_sheet = !empty ($_COOKIE['css']) ? $_COOKIE['css'] : 'default';    

}  



setcookie('css',$style_sheet,time()+999999999);   



if (isset($_POST['lang']))

muhaidib · 06-11-2005, 03:19 AM

okay... i got all the errors to go away,, but the lang does not change...

updated...

this is index.php

PHP Code:


			
<?   

if (isset($_POST['style']))    

{   

  $style_sheet = $_POST['style'];    

} else {   

  $style_sheet = !empty ($_COOKIE['css']) ? $_COOKIE['css'] : 'default';   

} 



setcookie('css',$style_sheet,time()+999999999);  





if (isset($_POST['lang']))    

{   

  $lang_sheet = $_POST['lang'];    

} else {   

  $lang_sheet = !empty ($_COOKIE['lan']) ? $_COOKIE['lan'] : 'english';   

} 



setcookie('css',$style_sheet,time()+999999999);  



?>  



<html> 



<head> 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">

<?php     

    echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/'.$style_sheet.'.css">';    

    include ('lang/'.$lang_sheet.'.php');

?>



<title>lang test</title> 

</head>



<body>



<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="800" class="none" id="table1">

        <tr>

            <td width="11%"><font size="1" color="#666666">

                <form name="style" method="post">  

                <br>  

                   <select name="style" class="field" size="1" onChange="document.style.submit();">

                <option value="default">Fire Grey</option>  

                </select>

                <noscript>

                <input type="submit" class="field" /> 

                </noscript> 

                &nbsp;style</form>

                <form>

                   <br>  

                   <select name="lang" class="field" size="1" onChange="document.lang.submit();"> 

                <option selected>-----</option>

                <option value="english">en</option>  

                <option value="arabic">ar</option>

                </select>

                <noscript>

                <input type="submit" class="field" /> 

                </noscript> 

                lang</form>

            </font></td>

        </tr>

    </table>

<p>the code &lt;?php echo $lang['lang'] ?&gt; is in the next line,, if its set to 

english then it should echo&nbsp; &quot;lang is english&quot; and in arabic it should echo 

&quot;lang is arabic&quot;</p>

start of code -------(  <?php echo $lang['lang'] ?> )------- end of code

</body>



</html>

and the lang files are still the same,,

i mean when i enter it says

Code:

the code <?php echo $lang['lang'] ?> is in the next line,, if its set to english then it should echo  "lang is english" and in arabic it should echo "lang is arabic"

start of code -------( lang is english )------- end of code

but when i change the lang drop down nothing happens..

delinear · 06-11-2005, 03:23 AM

You are still setting the wrong cookie name for the language:

PHP Code:


			
if (isset($_POST['lang']))     

{    

  $lang_sheet = $_POST['lang'];     

} else {    

  $lang_sheet = !empty ($_COOKIE['lan']) ? $_COOKIE['lan'] : 'english';    

}  



setcookie('css',$style_sheet,time()+999999999);

What happens here is that the language gets stored in the "css" cookie. Then the css file gets written over the top of it (since cookies get written in reverse order for some reason).

You meant to put the following, I'm sure:

PHP Code:


			
setcookie('lan',$style_sheet,time()+999999999);

muhaidib · 06-11-2005, 04:02 AM

ohhh ok

thanx

i edited it,,

but still,, there is something in the SECOND form that is wrong... it does not change the lang,, maybe its something in the FORM that is not responding..

dumpfi · 06-11-2005, 07:22 AM

I think the second should be set like this:

PHP Code:


			
setcookie('lan',$lang_sheet,time()+999999999);

muhaidib · 06-11-2005, 05:12 PM

okok,,, hummm

}  



setcookie('style',$style_sheet,time()+999999999);   





if (isset($_POST['lang']))

and the lang/default.php is this

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$lang['lang'] = 'english';



?>

and if you noticed in the site it just says the first letter,,

lang/arabic.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$lang['lang'] = 'arabic';



?>

Kurashu · 06-11-2005, 06:27 PM

PHP Code:


			
function getLang()

    {

    if(isset($_COOKIE['lan']))

        $lang = $_COOKIE['lan'];

        switch($lang)

            {

            case 'en':

            case 'english':
