Inserting php into code

dreamer · 2011-09-01 05:18:10

Hi TXPers. I was trying to include some php into my form and used the <txp:php></txp:php> code but I am getting an error for the taghandler as indicated on my site here; http://txpshadow.apatalk.com/services/welcome-to-your-site#

I looked up that file and the first line is simply; <?php

I’m not sure what to make of this and how to fix? Total noob at php

Unless you have actually altered one of the core PHP scripts or a plugin that is active the line :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /nfs/c02/h11/mnt/41882/domains/txpshadow.apatalk.com/html/textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(3741) : eval()'d code on line 2
is likely telling you that there is an error in your PHP code contained within the script’s Textpattern PHP tag set. These returned error codes are not always able to pin down exactly where an error took place if it was called from a template that was rendering within a call to a taghandlers function.

I didn’t modify the files. If it can’t pin down the issue, then what should I do?

You could post the PHP code you used in your form, so that we can take look at it. Unfortunately we can not help you without knowing specifics, other than saying that there is a mistake in the PHP code.

A wild guess: if you are inserting a php script inside of txp:php tags you can omit the opening and closing php tags in your script as the txp:php takes its place, e.g. if your code looks like this

<txp:php><?php ... actual code here ...  ?></txp:php>

change it to to read

<txp:php> ... actual code here ... </txp:php>

Maybe that helps?

Jakob- I managed to get rid of the error at the top with your suggestion. Still having issues with the errror in the footer though. Here is the form code for that area;

You will need to go through that footer code and replace every <? or <?php with <txp:php> and every ?> with </txp:php>.

jakob · 2011-09-01 19:28:48

That code seems to dip in and out of php so all instances of <?php ... ?> or <? ... ?> need replacing and all <?= turning into an echo statement. A lot of the instances where php is being used could be replaced with txp-equivalent functions.

Make a backup of your page and grab and install a copy of adi_gps. Then try this alternative approach that uses txp:tags in place of many of the php elements in your code. With luck it may work, depending on how the rest of the form processing code is written:


<txp:hide>
  Retrieve all $_POST variables and put them in txp variables
</txp:hide>

<txp:adi_gps post="1" quiet="1" />

<txp:hide>
  Set your config variables here instead of in lib/config.php
  Set all variables including any settings you don't want. 
  They should be set as empty variables as follows:
  txp:variable name="settingname" value=""
</txp:hide>

<txp:variable name="addthis" value="yes" />
<txp:variable name="location" value="yes" />
<txp:variable name="uploadify" value="yes" />
<txp:variable name="reCAPTCHA" value="yes" />


<div id="form">	<!-- BEGIN CONTACT FORM CONTAINER-->
<div id="middle">
<!-- <img class="ultimate" src="contact_lib/style/img/ultimate.png"> -->
  <!-- <div class="midle_border"> -->
    <!-- <h2>AJAX Form.</h2> -->

    <txp:hide>
      Check if AddThis is enabled or disabled.
      If enabled, add the AddThis feature.
    </txp:hide>

    <txp:if_variable name="addthis" value="yes">

      <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
      <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style "><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=xa-4e1ea9435d7dcee2"></script>
      <!-- AddThis Button END -->

    </txp:if_variable>

    <!-- <p class="formTitle">AJAX Form with reCAPTCHA, Uploadify, GeoLocation, Google Map and Social Share!</p> -->

      <!-- END DISPLAY LATER -->

  <!-- </div> -->
</div>
<!-- END CONTACT FORM CONTAINER -->

Be sure to set your config variables at the top as you want them (I put “yes” in all of them but the comment in the txp:hide statement shows an example of how to do a “no”).

I can’t guarantee that it will work but maybe you are in luck!!

dreamer · 2011-09-01 19:53:45

thanks maruchan. this helps alot.

quick question; Do lines of code like;

<?= $_POST['recaptcha_response_field'];?>

or

<?}?>

also need to be replaced by the txp:php tag?

I replaced the other blocks of php code and tried replacing the above but still get errors. I can repost my code once I get confirmation from you. Thanks

yes and yes, but it probably won’t work, because of this
Look at what Jakob posted, that’s a nice solution (if it works).

dreamer · 2011-09-02 03:45:32

bah. still doesn’t work :( i think i’ll just nix the contact form in the footer and create a simple php page and the form in there instead.

ruud · 2011-09-03 09:05:57

Or you could repost the code you have now and the errors it generates, so we can try to help you.
