Townsend php file not showing using mamp

Hi
I'm not sure exactly whether to publish this question in the general dw forum or php forum, so please bear with me.
Thank you in advance for your help.
I am using dw cs3 and am currently doing the David Powers tutorial on setting up a MAMP site for PHP using the Cafe Townsend detail and the comments.php file.
My MAMP is set up with the Apache port on 8888, and the SQL port on 8889.
(This has worked fine as a localhost for sites built with both xhtml and xsl so I think the problem may be the SQL)
The fact that the timetest.php displays fine in both Safari and Firefox supports this view.
In both Firefox and Safari, the following addess displays:
http://localhost:8888/php_test/comments.php
But the page remains blank.
In Live Data I am told that the problem is:
1 - the testing server is not executing php files, or
2 - or the folder does not map to the testing server (the fact that the timetest works suggests it does)
Dw tells me the connection has been made successfully on:
localhost:8889
The column fields from the sql database, appear in the databases window with (text required etc, as a parameter behind them).
Am I doing something wrong, or could the comments.php file be corrupt?
Please help.
Tx.

Gordon Eddey

Murray, you superstar. Thanks.
It's 17h37 here in Johannesburg,so I'll go on line later and mark the
question answered, as the broadband becomes fat and sluggish at this hour.
Using the suggested:
<?php ini_set('display_errors',1); ?>
Showed me that the file was still picking up an earlier
('Connections/connTest.php');
in which I had taxed up the settings and had replaced with
('Connections/phptest.php').
Simply changing to ('Connections/phptest.php'); and replacing the
connTest.php file with phptest.php throughout the page resulted in the file
working.
I have to say that you have helped me most of my dw3 questions and I thank
you for that.
Regards,
Gordon

File not showing in SharePoint (IE) but visible in Explorer

I have a document library that has a single file not showing up that I can't seem to track down. I am hoping someone here might be able to offer something I haven't thought of.
The document library is very much 'stock'. Verisioning is turned on and minor revisions aren't viewable to folks without edit rights. I am the admin with full control to everything - as is the user this initially impacted. The file will show
in the Explorer view - but isn't viewable in an 'all files' file via the browser or when attempting to open via Excel. If we provide the full path/file it does open successfully in Excel and offer the Check Out option - but it won't show up
in the 'File Open' dialog.
I thought at first it might be a matter of not having a version checked in - but it isn't showing under "Manage files which have no checked in version" menu. I've gone through the various SharePoint view options and can't find anything there either.
What would make a single Excel file in such an ordinary document library not be visible to users with full control rights? We have roughly 80k files stored in SharePoint overall - so please don't read this as being our initial test of SharePoint.
I'd really appreciate any ideas...

Just to add a few more details. I have been able to add the file to a different library and they uploaded fine. The library in question is created off of a template and has 2 metadata fields. The fields are also being used in the other library, but that
was created from a different template.
The site and initial 4 libraries were created from a site template and then the library was added from a different library template. Checking ULS logs now, but doubtful I will find anything.

The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.
Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC

External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC
i had the Ex HD for about 3 years running smoothly on my mac but recently everything disappeared. plunged it into a pc to see if it read my files and it did. what can i do? to make it work on mac again. i don't want to reformat that drive because i have important applications (DMG) and other zip photo video files in the drive.

yes. i did.
...i have tried "verify" & "repair" but they didn't pass the san test. and when i "unmounted/mount" a error message popped up say that there is a application running off the drive but there nothing (i see) running, to close all activity

IPhoto files not showing up in list

I have many photos on my new MacBook Pro, but when I try to "attach" them to emails, they are not showing up in the listing. I am a new Mac user, but so I don't know how to explain this. If this was a PC, it would be like files not showing up under "My Computer." PhotoBooth photos are listed though. Why is this?

Then something has happened to the permission and or attribute settings on your folders to mark files saved in them as hidden.
Try this Terminal command to show all files and you can turn it off by changing the true to false at the end of the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
If you then see your files tere is a problem with files being market as hidden when they are saved. Create a New Folder in the Root of the drive and look at its Get Info window and post a screen shot of it in this thread.

PHP Include not showing in design view

One of the advantages of Dreamweaver is the ability to see
the result of your code in the Design view. I am building a
template set for a web site I'm starting, and will be using the
template files in various paths and path depths. As a result, I am
not interested in using relative paths for things like PHP
includes.
If I use the following code for an include, the 'main.php'
file is included in the design view:
<?php include('/includes/templates/main.php'); ?>
When uploaded to the Apache server, this does not display
properly, because it is looking for the file in the user root, not
the Apache document root.
The portable code solutions to this would be to use the
following code:
<?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/templates/main.php');
?>
This shows perfectly when uploaded to the Apache server, but
of course does not show in the Design view of Dreamweaver.
It is ridiculous to think that someone would want code one
way to see in the design view, and another for the web server, so I
am assuming that there is a way to do this so that it works both in
the desing view and on the web server.
I have had limited success using:
<?php virtual('/includes/templates/main.php'); ?>
which shows up in both the design view and on the web server.
However, I've experienced problems using virtual calls in scripts
called by the virtual command. I.e. nested inclusions. It would be
important to note that PHP's own documentation states "This
function may be used on PHP files. However, it is typically better
to use include() or require() for PHP files.", along with other
warnings.
So, basically, what I am asking for is a solution to allow
the following code to work and show the included file in the design
view:
<?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/templates/main.php');
?>
Any suggestions?
BTW, I have tried setting the PHP include_path to the web
root so that the first example above would work. Doesn't work. I
have full, unrestricted access to the server, so if there is
another setting or configuration change I can make to have the
include function default to the web root, I'd love to know what it
is.

I'm not referencing dynamic output from PHP processing. I am
referencing includes. When using an include, Dreamweaver shows you
exactly what it would show you if you were looking at the included
file itself.
However, Dreamweaver makes the assumption that <?php
include('/inc/test.php'); ?> is a path located in the web server
document root. This is not the same assumption that web servers
make.
The Apache web server (at least the several that I use),
treat this same include as a request for /inc/test.php off of the
root of the server. To achieve the same include, relative to the
web document root, the include must be <?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/inc/test.php'); ?>.
Unfortunately, Dreamweaver does not understand this basic syntax
and will not show the included file in the design view.
The bottom line is that Dreamweaver could make it much
simpler to build portable code if it understood this syntax on the
include. You could take place that include in any location on your
site and it would pull the include from the proper location in both
your design view and on the web server.
Keep in mind that we establish a "document_root" when we set
up a site in Dreamweaver. The information is already there. The
handling of it just needs to be added to the include parser.

Adding PHP pages, not showing dynamic content?

Hi all,
I'm new and hoping I don't get ripped apart for a question that seems simple. I've looked a lot though and can't seem to find an exact scenario like this. I recently took over a PHP site for a friend that was built in Dreamweaver CS3.
There's a master page (main.php) that includes a header and footer and middle area of dynamic content. Thus, all of the pages appear like: http://www.SITENAME.com/main.php?mod=about (for the 'about' page) or www.SITENAME.com/main.php?mod=welcome (for the landing/home page), etc.
In main.php, there's a section of: // Include Multiple Static Pages that looks like this:
$mxiObj->IncludeStatic("about", "about.php");
for every static page.
All of this makes sense to me. Here's my problem:
When adding a new page now, I can't get it to show any of the dynamic content on the live site. I just get the static header and footer to show.
In the main.php file, there's this section:
</div>
<div id="mainContent">
    <p>
      <?php
$incFileName = $mxiObj->getCurrentInclude();
if ($incFileName !== null) {
    mxi_includes_start($incFileName);
    require(basename($incFileName)); // require the page content
    mxi_includes_end();
?></p>
</div>
that's supposed to pull in the dynamic content. It's doing this just fine on the older pages, but not on the ones I'm trying to build now.
I guess I'm asking if there's some type of file in an 'includes' folder that I'm missing where I need to make sure the FileName is also listed (not just in the static section on main.php)? What's the mising link that will get this dynamic content to show up?
Thanks for any help in advance and for reading this!

The quickest way to add new pages is to
copy the template (index.php) to a new document (newdoc.php or similar)
remove the PHP stuff - stuff that is not required for the new content
if there are inludes for the menu, header, footer or similar, then you can link those back into the document using standard includes
add the new content to the newly created document
This will give you a stand-alone document. At a later stage you can convert these documents into a DW-template system.

Firefox keeps asking me to open/download PHP file when it used to be able to display properly.

I use to be able to view local PHP files normally in Firefox with the PHP parts not rendered while the HTML parts are. Now all it does is ask whether I want to open or save it.
I've tried editing FF options so that it previews in FF but it doesn't accept any changes. I've cleared my cache and all that. I've tried deleting the mimeTypes.rdf file thing but I can't even find the folder it's in. I've tried disabling/enabling "prompts.tab_modal.enabled" in about:config and restarting FF.
All are no-go solutions.
Web PHP pages are loading properly, this problem only comes when I'm trying to load local PHP files. I don't want to install XAMPP or PHP on my computer just to view local files as I never had this problem before.
In the meantime, I've installed Chrome and it's loading a simple local PHP file just fine whereas FF is asking me to save/download when opening the SAME file. Thanks in advance for any help.

Yup, deleting mimeTypes.rdf and re-starting did the trick this time. Thanks very much!
Also, on a somewhat related note, I cannot view mozillazine.org and any sub-domains under it in any browsers. This may be happening to other users as well?
It's always stuck at "Waiting for ..." or "Connecting to ..." and that's it. Then FF gives up with a "Server connection time-out" notice. Clearing cache and all that doesn't work because I was trying to view those pages before starting this topic.

How do I fix a problem with .eps files not showing up properly in icon view

Actually my .eps files are not showing properly in any of the views but icon view is most important to me. I am using OSX.8.5 on a mac mini and mac book air. Almost all of my .eps files are conversions of .wmf files converted to .eps by WMF Converter software. All of these files used to be on a PC running windows Vista using ST Thumbnails explorer to be able to view thumbnails. For background info: I had to use a program to view the WMF files becasue hackers could put viruses into the thumbnail for WMF fies so instead of fixing the problem Microsoft disabled the thumbnail view for all WMF files.
A few of my .eps files are conversions of files created in CorelDraw 3x and converted to .eps in CorelDraw 3x. Both types of .eps files misbehave the same.
I downloaded one .eps file today from the internet to see if it would misbehave the same way (it does).
Here is the problem: After a reboot when I first view a folder that contains .eps files in icon view I can see the file contents fine. If I use the resize slider at the bottom of the window or resize the window itself then some or all of my .eps files revert to displaying the "generic icon" of a Loupe with a picture behind it. If i can manage to put the resize slider to exactly where it was then my icons display the file contents as they did before I messed with the slider. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when an icon will display as the file contents or when the generic icon comes up. In some folders all the icons display correctly at the smallest icon size and in other folders the icons may display correctly or as only generic or a mix of generic and file contents. Icons to files that came from the same source will not necessarily display the same way. Icons to files that came from the same source and were converted by WMF Converter at the same minute do not necessarily display the same way. If I display "info" for the files sometimes the previev pane of the info box will display the generic icon or sometimes it will show the file contents. If I take an .eps icon that displays properly and drop it into a folder where all .eps icons are displayed as generic then that icon displays generic. When I move that same icon out of that folder then it will display properly. Icon view, list view, column view and cover flow view all display differently with no discernable pattern. Sometimes I can see file contents in column view and not icon view. Sometimes in cover flow and not in icon view. It makes no difference if I have a handful of .eps files in a folder or hundereds of files in a folder. After an undetermined amount of time the icons might display properly again or maybe not.
What I have done so far: exhaustive search of the internet did not find anyone else with the same issue. I checked and fixed all disk permission errors that disk utilities would fix. I know that icon view and quick look are two different things, but, I did however, download and install an eps quicklook plugin that did not seem to make a difference for my issue. BTW Quick look sometimes works and sometimes not (no discernable pattern to this behavior either). I tried the cnet download fix for quicklook just for grins. It had me force QL to reload plugins and it's cache then I cleared out the QL configuration files. This did not seem to make a difference in the behavior of icon view or Quicklook. The only two things I have found to be consistant are 1) The "open with preview" always works but I know this is different because this preview actually generates a pdf view of the file. 2) When the icon does display the file contents it always displays correctly.
When you read this please be mindful of: I am a Microsoft refugee not yet familiar with the Apple world so you may have to tell me how to do "simple" things. I have no idea what is the difference between a "thumbnail" or a "preview" or the behind the scenes way that apple generates the icon appearance for the 4 different views.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I tried to insert a screen shot but got an error message when I did it.

Was the error number really 0XE8....

PHP icon not showing in design view

I just ordered Studio 8 and currently working on the demo
version of Dreamweaver 8. I had been using FrontPage for many years
and I finally hit it's limitations. I am creating new pages from
scratch and not importing any of my older FrontPage web pages. I am
coding in PHP and noticed this nice php icon that shows in my
design view of where all my php code is. This FrontPage could never
do. I have a table that is doing multiple "include" calls. I am
able to successfully add 2 lines of code, which generates two php
icons in my design view. When I try to add a 3rd line of php code,
it removes all of the nice php icons in the design view. For the
rest of the document, if I add more code, then the icons will not
show up. The PHP is in the code view, but the design view is no
longer showing the php icon. Does anyone have any ideas on how to
make them show up permanently? This is one of many great features
of Dreamweaver that drove me to purchase it.

Thank you for the quick response. I went home and took a look
at my code. It matches pretty closely with what you offered as a
suggestion. That didn't seem to fix the issues I am having. Maybe
there is something I am missing that will stand out for you.
Here is a sample of it:
<td>Item Review 1</td>
<td><div align="center"><?php include('
http://www.mytestsite.com/review/stars_only_by_item_id_listing.php?item_id=5');
?></div>
</td>
<td><div align="center"><a href="
http://www.mytestsite.com/review/index2.php?item_id=5">
link</a></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Item Review 2</td>
<td><div align="center"><?php include('
http://www.mytestsite.com/review/stars_only_by_item_id_listing.php?item_id=6');
?></div></td>
Thank you for any help you can offer. This one is really
stumping me. Could it be that I am using the demo version and not
the full version?

The Path to nowhere - help! swf files not showing in browser

i need help with getting a swf file to show in the browsers. (it previews in dreamweaver)
created a website in dreamweaver cs4. created a simple slideshow in flash 4.
on the index.html page inserted the flash file.
it previews in dreamweaver BUT when i text in browsers it shows as a white box.
have been reading through all the info about paths etc.
can you simplify this entry below from adninjastrator on the adobe forums sept 19 2011???........
"Still looks like a pathing problem to me. For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

i am not sure why this sounds so foreign to me.....
i understand the page code instructs the browser to find and load the flash file from a path.
i do not understand "/2812gtbros.swf (i.e. start at the root of the site and look for that filename in that location)
i have the html fla and swf file in the folder on my computer named 212GTflashpics (2012freelance/2012gtbrothers/212GTflashpics/2812gtbros.swf) and i have it in the website folder GTbrothers1 with all the images scrpts sprys and html files
the files be in the website folder o
in your previous Question...
"This line -
<param name="movie" value="/2812gtbros.swf" />
is telling the browser to look for the flash file in the root of the website. Is that where it is?"
what is before the / in the value=" /2812gtbros.swf? wouldnt that tell us the path of the file?

"Put" files not showing up on website

I am hoping this is a relatively simple problem I am encountering. I have been given a site (http://urpl.wisc.edu/people/marcouiller/projects/clearinghouse/Tourism%20Resources.htm) to edit using Dreamweaver and many of the links that are listed are linked to nonexistent pages. I am trying to hyperlink these broken links to actual webpages and it was working fine for awhile. During the past couple of days however, after I "put" the changes to the server, the changes are not showing up on the website. The server displays that it was updated at that specific time and date and the preview page shows the correct links when I open it, but nothing changes on my actual site. I have tried clearing my cache and opening the page in different browsers, but still no luck. I have also tried disconnecting and then reconnecting to the host server and simply restarting Dreamweaver, but all to no avail. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem of changes not displaying on my website?
Much thanks!
-Ben

Are you using a Defined Site in DW or just editing individual pages and uploading?
Could you accidentally be loading the files to the wrong folder on the server?
Your site does have quite a few coding errors (64+ on the first page). You should go through the validator to clean those error up, though they likely don't have much to do with the problem at hand, it's still best for cross-browser performance and display to use correct html mark-up.

Files not showing up on external Drive

I'm having this really strange and irritating issue with my external hard drive in 10.5.
I use a folder named "incoming" on an external usb HDD for all my miscellaneous downloaded files, but for some reason, when the transfer completes in the download application, the new files don't appear there. Similarly, when I unzip or create new files on this drive, they'll inevitably either disappear, or folders will appear empty.
Even stranger, I can actually see all these files and use them like normal if I open my external drive by typing "open /Volumes/Storage" in Terminal, but if I browse through Finder, half are missing.
I was using this drive in Tiger with no issues, it's HFS+ formatted and I've tried running Verify/Repair in Disk Utility to no avail.
UPDATE: Upon looking at the mount point of the drive in finder, it says it's mounted at "/Volumes/Storage 1". When I open that mount point in Terminal I can only see some of the files, but when I open "/Volumes/Storage" I can see all the files.

I have a customer also reporting this same issue with files copied to an external RAID not showing up in Finder, since the 10.5.2 update / Leopard Graphics 1.0 updates. Zapping PRAM fixed the problem temporarily but after a day it's come back. [This is only one of four identical iMacs updated in the same manner that is showing the problem].

PDF file not showing correctly in Preview or other apps

Hi,
I've trying to find an answer to my question for some time now on the internet, but couldn't find it anywhere. When I open a pdf file from someone who created it using Windows diagrams that are supposed to be Matrices are not showing properly. Most probably the matrices were created using the equation builder in MOffice.
<-- this is supposed to be a matrix
There is also a problem with showing symbols like subscripted or superscripted letters (Arrows represent superscripted or subscripted letters, either up or down):
And for some reason, when I try to quicklook the file, some pages are displayed incorrectly - only showing a quarter of the page:
Any help on this? Is there some sort of an update to solve this problem, or should I download additional fonts??
I am using a Macbook Alu from 2008 with OS X Maverick installed - all latest updates are installed.. (However the same problem appeared when using an iPad)
Thanks a lot i advance!

Hi Carolyn,
I looked at your file and it seems the problem is with the resolution. The design is great but the resolution was too low.
Fortunately your Apple Smart Object was high resolution so I was able to increase the resolution of the file as it is. You will need to replace the Bar Code and possibly the little flower on the back cover with high res versions.
In the future you need to start with the document being sized right and the resolution at 300 ppi. Make sure your graphics are high resolution from the start as well. You can't regain resolution that was left out, although using High Resolution Smart Objects can give you the the latitude you need to size back up.
After I sent the file I looked closely at the font. The one font you used does have zaggies but it's supposed to. Bradley Hand ITC TT is kind of a rough font around the edges by design. If this is what seems to be the problem, you will need to change to another font. Still, the file needed to be higher resolution.
I sent one back to you in high res. All you need to do is replace the bar code and the little flower with high res version. The apple graphic smart object was high enough.
