Hi,
I use to have apache 1.3 installed on my computer. I did a clean
install and went from RedHat 9.0 to SUSE 9.0. In this clean installed I
decided to try apache2. Now I am having some problems. I know that php
and mySQL are working fine. There were a few changed that I had to make
to my code to get it to work, but for the most part, my code is working.
This part of my code however is not working. I have the same code on
another computer that is running apache1 and it is working find. Did I
miss some in the setup?
<form name="act_list" border=0>
<table align="center">
<tr><td>
<select name=actors size=10
onclick="parent.bottom.location.href='./actors.php?id=' +
this.form.actors.options[this.form.actors.selectedIndex].value">
<option value=331>Animal Characters
<option value=319>Animation Characters
<option value=98>Brandy
<option value=366>Eve
<option value=249>Madonna
</select>
</td></tr>
</table>
</form>
When one of the select is click it is suppose to call the actors.php
file (which it does) and send it the value (which it does not). I do
not know why this does not work in apache2.
Thanks
Dawn

$_POST? How is your form submitting the data - GET or POST? I think
your code in actors.php is faulty, not Apache 2.

$HTTP_POST_VARS['id'] and use that number to get information from a
mysql DB and displays the information. I know the part where it gets
the info and displays it works for tests that I have run. What I don't
understand is how come I can not get the 'id' value.
Because of the '?id=' from the code above, the form is submitted using
the get method.

GET? That's wrong.
Check REGISTER_GLOBALS in php_info() - I suspect it's off. It's not a
problem with Apache - it's your code or your PHP set-up. The POST array
is nothing to do with Apache.

more compact manner:

this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;"
<option value="331">Animal Characters</option>

don't care which method, $_REQUEST). That's probably the bug.
You might try
<?php
$HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST;
?>
if going through and replacing every instance of the former with the
latter is too much effort. It's a bandaid at best, though, and you'd do
far better to fix the code properly.

And now your form will work for those 10%-15% of people without JavaScript.
Getting back to your question...
line? If so, that's not enough.
Check that you have the Apache2 version of mod_php installed. On Mandrake
the package is called apache2-mod_php.
Check that a basic test PHP file works:
<?php
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
echo 1+1;
?>
visit that page and you should just see a plain text file with the numeral
2.
If all that works, post back here with a test URL.
