DW8 with ASP, CF, & PHP (not so) "Live Data"

I have been working through this book and it's great.
However, the first time Mr. Bardzell didn't anticipate a potential
problem and its probable cause --of which I'd had none up to this
point-- was the first time I
did. Whenever I try to turn on Live Data, DW returns and
alert that reads:
Dreamweaver could not properly convert the live page from the
web server.
The pages have been fine in the browser. So, I kept on going.
now I'm in lesson 10 and he recommends checking dynamic input
frequently. I've checked, rechecked, redone, reinstalled, and then
did it all again--and a third time--NOTHING. And no mention of this
problem in any of the forums, articles, books, help files, etc.
Help please?!

DW8 with ASP,ColdFusion,PHP

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with
Bardzell's fine book. In Chapter 10, Building the Tour
Descriptions, I can't build the first recordset where you SELECT *
FROM tbl_tours because I get an unidentified error. I managed to
isolate the error to the "exerciseReqd" column - when I browse the
table in phpMyadmin that row looks very odd with incomplete lines
and empty spaces in some fields. I simply deleted that column and
the recordset worked. Then I just continued on since its not
imperative for the lesson to have that column. Just wondering what
might have caused the problem.

What's the author's title and edition published with which
publisher? I am curious about that one and do bit of research.
Curious. Have you ever heard of David Powers' books called
"PHP Solutions" or PHP for Dreamweaver 8" which were published with
Apress (friends of ED). The book "PHP Solutions" recently published
and released to the booksellers only few weeks ago.
I highly recommend this world-class author David Powers. His
books are well-written, documented in a clear, concise with more
thorough, detailed steps in those two books.
I think you find his books are very useful tool/resource.

Is there a mobile phone that can sync with ical, but does not require a data plan?

Is there a mobile phone that can sync with ical, but does not require a data plan?

Thanks for the reply. I already have this info, but have spent several hours trying to cross reference with the product descriptions and the different carriers websites. I was hoping there was an easier way.

Dreamweaver 8 with ASP, Coldfusion, & PHP

I am new to php and I am trying to work thru Dreamweaver 8
with ASP, Coldfusion and PHP Training from the Source. I have a
real simple form. A user enters their first and last name then
clicks the submit button. The form is then processed with a script
using $_GET[first_name]; $_GET[last_name]; and it should display
"Thank you, first_name last_name, for using my form." But the page
show the html with a Notice: Undefined index: first_name in
C:\htdocs\newland\test_form_processor.php on line 9. Line nine is -
<p>Thank you, <?php echo $_GET['first_name']; ?>
<?php echo $_GET['last_name']; ?>, for filling out my
form.</p>. This was accomplished using the binding panel in
DW. There is not any kind of trouble shooting in the book. Can
someone tell me what this means? It worked like it is supposed to
work when I had just the first name.

I don't have a copy of that book. I wrote my own instead. ;-)

It means that the first_name variable isn't being passed from
the form.
PHP is case-sensitive. Your form needs to look something like
this:
<form name="form1" id="form1" method="get"
action="test_form_processor.php">
<p>First name: <input type="text" name="first_name"
id="first_name" /></p>
<p>Last name: <input type="text" name="last_name"
id="last_name" /></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit1" id="submit1"
value="Send" />
</form>

Need help on integrating htmldb with asp/jsp/php

Hello there, we have a few existing htmldb applications running at the moment, and now we would like to develop some asp/jsp/php applications. However there is one issue we still haven't solved yet, which is the SESSION(Login) problem. We don't know how the session is being generated, how to pull out session values manually from db etc etc.
If you have done this before or any ideas, will be much appreciated.
Thanks very much
James

James,
sometimes it makes sense to look at these things from a different (and broader) perspective.
Especially in a context of a corporation it makes sense to use a Single Sign On (SSO) server for authentication (usually against LDAP) . Something like Netegrity Siteminder, Oracle SSO Server (as part of Oracle Internet Application Server) or something similar.
Then you could have all your applications use the authentication method of the SSO server which will keep track of the valid session and the applications that participate in the SSO context.
On the Apex side you would have to write a custom authentication scheme to leverage that functionality, the session handling will no longer be of any concern to you.
Just a different way to look at it.

Cisco ISE with AD Problem: "Could not read groups data: Global catalog not found"

Hi all,
When I make the ActiveDirectory integration with Cisco ISE, I have complete with this integration. but when I try to read the Groups from Active Directory, ISE shows the message "Could not read groups data: Global catalog not found".
My Domain has multiple sites and subnets, each contains GC for local logon. I have set ISE to the correct site and subnet. Forward and Reverse DNS are working with no error.
Does anyone get this problem, please help.
I have check into the ISE CLI Reference Guide 1.1.x
You are about to configure Active Directory settings.
Are you sure you want to proceed? y/n [n]: y
Parameter Name: dns.servers
Parameter Value: 10.77.122.135
Active Directory internal setting modification should only be performed if approved by ISE
support. Please confirm this change has been approved y/n [n]: y
What shoud I set in the Parameter Name ? dns.servers or my dns hostname ?
Please suggest for this too.
Thanks and Regards,
Pongsatorn M.

Hi Pongsatorn,
Thanks for the reply!
I've attached the results of the ISE detailed AD test. As you can see, there is a fair number of domain controllers in the AD forest.
It seems everything works correctly until it gets to testing the AD connectivity on port 3268. Then I get this:
Testing Active Directory connectivity:
    Global Catalog: pdascdc02.xyz.com
      gc:       3268/tcp - refused
Testing Active Directory connectivity:
    Global Catalog: pdascdc02.xyz.com
      gc:       3268/tcp - refused
For some reason, the request to the controllers on port 3268 is being refused.
Any thoughts you might have are greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Greg

Form/php not returning certain data

So I just recently designed/launched a website (Dreamweaver CS 5.5) that utilizes a form for feedback from visitors. The form/corresponding php script seems to be functioning, as I have tested it numerous times. The only problem is that ONE of the entry forms doesn't seem to be returning any data.
The HTML for the form is as follows:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="send.php">
        <table width="510" border="0">
          <tr>
            <td colspan="2"><p>Questions? Comments? Criticism?</p>
            <p>Let the Artist know by filling out this handy form:</p></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td width="72">Name:*</td>
            <td width="428" class="returntext"><span id="sprytextfield1">
            <label for="name"></label>
            <input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
            <span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span><span class="textfieldMinCharsMsg">Minimum number of characters not met.</span><span class="textfieldMaxCharsMsg">Exceeded maximum number of characters.</span></span></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>E-Mail:*</td>
            <td class="returntext"><span id="sprytextfield2">
            <label for="email"></label>
            <input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
            <span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span><span class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg">Invalid format.</span><span class="textfieldMinCharsMsg">Minimum number of characters not met.</span><span class="textfieldMaxCharsMsg">Exceeded maximum number of characters.</span></span></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>Subject:</td>
            <td class="returntext"><label for="textfield"></label>
              <span id="sprytextfield3">
              <label for="subject"></label>
              <input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" />
              <span class="textfieldMinCharsMsg">Minimum number of characters not met.</span><span class="textfieldMaxCharsMsg">Exceeded maximum number of characters.</span></span></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>Comment:*</td>
            <td><span id="sprytextarea1">
              <label for="comment"></label>
              <textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea>
<span class="textareaRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span></span></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td> </td>
            <td><input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
            <input type="reset" name="button2" id="button2" value="Reset" /></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td> </td>
            <td>Fields marked "*" are required.</td>
          </tr>
        </table>
      </form>
And the PHP script is:
<?php
$to = "[email address removed by moderator]";
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'];
$name = $_REQUEST ['name'];
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$comment = $_REQUEST['comment'] ;
$totalmessage = "
        Name:        $name \n
        Email:        $email \n
        Subject:    $subject \n
        Comment:    $comment \n ";
if (mail($to, $subject, $totalmessage)) {
   echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
   echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
?>
When I test the page through my browser (firefox 24.0), I receive the e-mail as it should be, except that the "comment" section is always empty, no matter what I enter. I have checked and double checked and triple checked, and the associated text field is names "comment", and its entry in the script is ['comment']. I have tried replacing the sprytextarea with a regular, non-spry text area, and that didn't make a difference either. The only difference between this field and the other fields (all of which are returning exactly what they should) is that it's a textarea rather than a text field...but if that is the case, I have no idea how to fix it.
Any help on the matter would be much appreciated.

According to the official specification for plain text email messages (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#section-2.3), a newline character must not appear independently in the body. It should always be preceded by a carriage return.
Your code looks like this:
$totalmessage = "
        Name:        $name \n
        Email:        $email \n
        Subject:    $subject \n
        Comment:    $comment \n ";
Change it to this:
$totalmessage = "
        Name:        $name \r\n
        Email:        $email \r\n
        Subject:    $subject \r\n
        Comment:    $comment";
The specification also says that lines in the body must be no longer than 998 characters. Because you have no idea how long the content in the text area will be, it's a good idea to pass the body of the email to the wordwrap function like this before sending the mail:
$totalmessage = wordwrap($totalmessage, "\r\n");
I also agree with bregent that you should be using $_POST instead of $_REQUEST.

When I sink my phone with itunes it will not update the data on the phone?

I added some CD's to my itunes library and was trying to sync them on to my iphone 5 and they will not sync. I have tried everything,

Why not?
Any errors?
What is selected to sync?

Final user's can not see the data due to limited authorization.

We have created a InfoSet with three info Objects, 0Account, 0Costcenter and 0COMP_CODE. 0Costcenter have an attribute retail location 0RT_LOCATIO.
0RT_LOCATIO is an authorization relevant object. We as consultants can execute the infoset properly, but final user's with limited authorizations can not see the data because of authorization failier
We hae several options to solve the issue, deleselect the auth. flag in the infoobject; delete the infoobject from the attributes of the cost center or create an authorization object and assign it to the final user's profile. But we don't want to go that way.
My question is, is there any way to avoid including this attribute in the infoset definition? We are not using it in the query and we don't need it, so if we could delete it from the infoset (in the same way you add or delete infoobjects from an Infocube) without changing the cost center aster data, we will have our problem solved.
Does anyone how to do this (if possible)?
Thanks in advance!

Just do two things to find the authorization check failed for that user.
1. Execute SU53 output and find out the authoirzation check failed. If yes, please send that to BASIS Team.
2. Next one, switch on the authorization trace in ST01 and ask that user to see that data. if the user is failed with authorization issue. switch off the trace in ST01 and find out the issue.
Do this way, if it is not successful you can go for any other alternate way.
Hope this would help you.

Buffer Table not up to date error while accessing Catalogs

Hello,
I am getting Buffer table not up-to-date error while accessing ARIBA Procurement Catalogs.
Initially, my Test system was pointing to Production Catalogs but now, when I changed the settings in "Define External Web Services" and pointed it to DEV Catalogs, it is failing with error: "Buffer Table not up-to-Date"
Refreshed the Buffer already but still error not fixed.
We already have the similar settings in other systems and there the connections are working fine
Please advise
Regards
Manish Agrawal

Hi Manish,
Could you please check the below notes and implement the same since I had the same issue upon punching out from the catalog to SRM system.
2041631 - Simplified Shopping Cart:Dump on Check Out From Catalog
2086844 - Dump "Buffer table not up-to-date" on Check Out from Catalog
In addition to the above, please maintain the portal information in the path as shown in the below screen shot
Kindly check and let me know on how it goes.

Control file not updated till date in RAC two node database

Hi,
Good day.
To my surprise i found that control files, in our database RAC with two nodes, are not updated till date except one from node 1 and another from node 2.
But we got all the controlfile names in the init parameter file, in both the nodes.
Node 1
bash-3.00$ ls -lrt
total 922128
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 157286400 Nov 3 2007 cntrl03.dbf
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 157286400 Nov 3 2007 cntrl02.dbf
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 157286400 Apr 12 17:21 cntrl01.dbf
Node 2
bash-3.00$ ls -lrt
total 922128
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 157286400 Mar 30 09:17 cntrl03.dbf
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 157286400 Mar 30 09:17 cntrl02.dbf
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 157286400 Apr 12 17:20 cntrl01.dbf
As you could see cntrl01.dbf is the only file updated till date in both the nodes. The database is running fine.
what is actually happening?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Balu.

As you're using RAC it is very likely that you are using an SPFILE.
Connect as a DBA account (or an account with SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privileges) in both the instances and do "show parameter spfile" and "show parameter control" (or query V$parameter)
It is likely that the spfile is referencing only 1 controlfile.

Alert! Could not activate cellular data network.

Is anybody familiar with the alert "Could not activate cellular data network"?
It alerts my frequently when I use my old iPhone 3G. I have requested my cellular service provider to block my GPRS, and the MMS function is turned off because I don't need it. Could this be the reason and can I turn the alert off?

You told your provider to block data services. You get an alert that the iPhone couldn't activate the cellular data network... Makes sense to me.
If you want to stop the alert, I believe you're going to have to go into settings and turn off cellular data. I'm not positive if this will stop the alerts or not, but I believe it will.
I don't know who your provider is, but most REQUIRE a data package if you have an iPhone.
Ok, thanks.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP coldfusion and PHP search?

I am working through Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP
coldfusion and PHP with the intent of creating a data base site
that primarily requires a search engine on the index page. The
search page in the book uses specific search criteria ensuring that
there will always be a match to the data base but I need to create
an input text field search engine. My Q, if there is no data within
the data base that match the variable, will it return with an error
requiring an argument in the code to respond to no matching data.
Hopefully there are comprehensive online recourses for these search
engines as they are so common. I am a complete newby to all aspects
of web development and code so it will need to be a thorough
explanation, an idiots guide. ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED

Rob,
Let me try to answer your questions, understanding that my
answers are laced with my experience and therefore my bias.
1. For the most part the SQL that you write for Access, MS
SQL or MySQL is going to be the same. I won't make that claim about
Oracle or PostgreSQL because I have limited or no experience in
those areas. To be sure when you head down the road with any DBMS
there are finer points on 'value added' features (to over simplify
things like MS SQL's Transact SQL), but for the most part when you
are pulling out, inserting or deleting records the SQL that you
write will be the same. In fact, I don't think I had to make any of
the SQL in the book different to deal with the back end db.
2. As for your host steering you away from MySQL, I don't
know why that would be. It is MUCH more stable and robust than
Access for web development. My research showed that you can use
MySQL just fine with ASP though that clearly wouldn't be
Microsoft's first choice.
3. A quick aside, the fact that you are building ASP on a Mac
would seem to indicate that you are developing on your production
server. That's never a good idea. Go local if you can. If you have
a newer Intel Mac you can use VM Fusion, Parallels or even Boot
Camp to run Windows in a virtual environment and develop there,
only moving your code to production when you are happy with it.
There is of course the fact that they two environments would not be
identical and you may need to change a few references, but it is
still a better practice than developing on your live site. Some web
hosts give you the ability to set up a subdomain. If yours does,
you could set one up with a duplicate of your site and develop
there.
4. Let me try to pull your 'rant-let' apart into two issue. I
begin with a question. I'm not sure what the Mac part has to do
with it. The primary language I work in at my day job is
ColdFusion. The majority of the most serious developers I know in
the CF world work on Macs. I am forced into the PC world because of
a cultural bias at the business school where I work. Having said
that, the only time I have felt there was ANY difference in the
tools, resources, choices I had was in any way affected by platform
was when Adobe still had not released Flex Builder 2 for the Mac.
Now that is behind us as well. This reaction of mine may be based
on the fact that Access never comes into play in the work that I
do. I regularly work with MS SQL and MySQL. (OK, so SQL Enterprise
Manager, the MS tool of choice to talk to MS SQL is Windows only,
but I only use that at the day job. But even there you can find
cross-platform, free tools like Aqua Data Studio to talk from a Mac
to MS SQL.) If I'm missing your point on the Mac, please let me
know. Since the advent of the Intel Mac I think it is hands-down
the best choice for a web developer. You can have Mac, Windows and
Unix all on one machine. It doesn't get any better (providing you
have the RAM :-)).
As for the security question, it is somewhat analogous to the
war on viruses and spyware. As the defenses get better, so do the
attacks. Most languages have developed functions for vetting user
input variables and best practices for building these things. It is
mainly a user education issue. When I took over the book you are
working out of, the one thing Jeffrey told me it needed was more
security. I did my best to put more in under the constraints of the
publisher. They didn't want the book to be any longer than the
previous version. I did my best to modify the code used to include
"string safe" functions and to add verbiage about the importance of
security. It was clear that I could not add as much as was needed
and I said so in the book. Much more is needed for a serious
treatment of the subject and not acknowledging that would have been
a disservice to the readers. I've been working as a developer for
over a decade and I don't know all there is to know about it. It's
a constantly changing field, just like all of web development. In
fact next week I'm going through a 2-day SANS Web Application
Security workshop in hopes of learning more. So at the risk of
sounding like an industry apologist, I don't think it's a
shortcoming of the development community. It is, as they say, "a
developing situation".

Slight roadblock in "DW 8 with ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP: Training from the Source"

I'm working my way through Dreamweaver 8 with ASP,
ColdFusion, and PHP:
Training from the Source. I've come to the middle of Lesson 6
and have hit
my first obstacle in learning PHP. I'm following the
instructions to format
the output of the tour price calculator, but my issue is with
where to place
the following PHP code: <?php setlocale(LC_MONETARY,
'en_US'); echo
money_format('%i', $tourPrice); ?>
I placed it before the DOCTYPE and when that didn't work, I
tried inserting
right before the code that retrieves the tour price (in the
body of the
page). That didn't work either.
I also tried changing money_format to number_format and
manually inserting
the $, but when I tested everything, the output printed as
follows:
The estimated cost of your tour is
$0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000500.
I'm not quite sure where I've gone wrong.
Thanks for any help,

Check the PHP documentation - it tells you all you need to

I've no idea what relationship you have with "Training from

but I find it interesting - to say the least - that you need
to the ask
the author of a rival book.

Missing File - Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion, and PHP

On page 263 of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion,
and PHP by:Jeffrey Bardzel and Bob Flynn the file called
countryDetailXML.asp is missing. How can I find that file? Any
idea?
Thanks for your help.

@citaiz,
That file is created earlier in the lesson in an exercise
starting on page 257. For the sake of the lesson, you can use
countryDetail.xml that is included in the lesson 09 start folder.
It is not important for this lesson that the XML is a static file
or one generated in real time from the database. The version of
Spry (1.4) that shipped with DW CS3 used XML data only. The current
version (1.6.1) can use JSON and HTML tables for the data source as
well. You can get the latest version of Spry for free at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/,
including an extension to update your copy of DW to the latest
version.
