Hi,
I need assistance in debugging and fixing a problem I have with a contact
form.
Let me describe the setup first, because I think this is where things go
astray:
+ On my development server things work, but they break on the target host.
+ The target host uses AFS. Templates are being compiled and once I give
correct permissions to files in templates_c pages are displayed. I needed to
disable caching though, but that's something the customer can live with.
+ The target hosts permits sessions. From reading the SmartyValidate README I
believe this is required.
I have very limited access to the machine. I can only access logs from the day
before using a webinterface making it very hard to debug this for me.
Here's what happens:
If I leave the contact form and the corresponding kontakt.tpl the way they
are, I get an empty page in the browser. The Server says "200 OK" and insists
it delivered the page successfully. (The admin told me that...)
If I remove any code starting from <form> through </form> - including any
SmartyValidate calls - I can display the page without the form.
In yesterdays error log I noted this:
[Wed Jan 25 11:04:21 2006] [error] PHP Fatal error: Smarty error: [in
kontakt.tpl line 20]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'validate'
(Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580) in
/afs/--replaced--/webserver/Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on
line 1088
To me this means Smarty does not know what 'validate' should do, right?
It loads Smarty.class.php, though. Registering? You see I am speculating.
Something I hate to do. I'd rather measure...
Any ideas what I can do?
TIA,
p@rick
Here's the kontakt.php:
<?php
session_start();

// $smarty->debugging = 'true';
if(empty($_POST)) {
// new form, we (re)set the session data
SmartyValidate::connect($smarty, true);
// register our validators

$smarty->assign($_POST);

if(defined("PHP_OS")
&& strcmp(substr(PHP_OS,0,3),"WIN"))
$email_message->SetHeader("Return-Path",$error_delivery_address);
$email_message->SetEncodedEmailHeader("Errors-To",$error_delivery_address,$error_delivery_name );
$email_message->SetEncodedHeader("Subject",$subject);
$email_message->AddQuotedPrintableTextPart($email_message->WrapText($message));
$error=$email_message->Send();
if(strcmp($error,""))
echo "Error: $error\n";
$smarty->display('success.tpl');
SmartyValidate::disconnect();
} else {
// error, redraw the form
$smarty->assign($_POST);
$smarty->display('kontakt.tpl');
}
};
?>
Here's an excerpt from kontakt.tpl (the part that breaks output):
