provisional listing..... sorry, I needed to add someone else in there to test things. Still have to come up with a form to post new entries yet.

Cool, though my OS is actually Raspian. :P

It was all a guess.. I just needed a second entry to make sure things were working. I'll post another massage when I get a form to add things up and running.

Well it turns out, I'm posting not because it works, but because it doesn't :/

How is anyones PHP+Apache?

$status=$_POST['status'];
$system=$_POST['system'];
$sysop=$_POST['sysop'];
$access=$_POST['access'];
$telnet=$_POST['telnet'];
$www=$_POST['www'];
$hours=$_POST['hours'];
$computer=$_POST['computer'];
$dos=$_POST['dos'];
$software=$_POST['software'];
$emulation=$_POST['emulation'];
$est=$_POST['est'];
$notes=$_POST['notes'];

This lot which looks nasty in the message editor keeps throwing an undefined index: system. Which I canna understand. Any ideas? The form's looking good, but can't post yet.

Since you are using $_POST, it means the form that you have posted
back, isnt setting 'system' as a value to post back.

In some ways its weird, from the example I'm working with, it looks like $_POST
is an array, which so long as its assigned correctly, should you just be able to assign, and then post to the sql data base by writing the array?

But I digress, having crawled past that problem, even if its not set, at least you get a null value, which seems fine. I now have what looks like an sql error... that I can't get my head around....

INSERT INTO list(status,system,sysop,access,telnet,www,hours,computer,dos,est, notes)VALUES('ONLINE', 'donkey', 'gherkin','ONLINE','flopdingle.bbs.org.sdf',' flopdingle.bbs.org.sdf','24hrs','bomb','bdos','sdfs','ASCII','yesterfay',' ')

thats what comes out of the PHP script, which looks mostly right to my eyes... Apache just show "error" if I use that line straight into sql I get

ERROR 1136 (21S01): Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

I can admin an Apache server, but never looked at PHP, beyond hacking already written code to suit a particular purpose.

Thats about my normal state of affairs. But sometimes you want to do something
and can't find an alternative...

Well its not ready for the public to tear to shreds, but seeing as we're
all restrained adults here, feel free to bang your details into the list.

It looks prettier. Search and Edit are not functional, but coming.

Alrighty, search is functional...

Tomorrows tasks, is to get data checking in place on
add bbs, and to get edit working in some fashion. This
won't seem like high security or anything, but I'm
considering using the sysops name +"1" or something as
an auth requirement to edit a bbs entry. Or is someone
going to be crazy enough to damage the db just for the
hell of it?

Is it only for BBSes in Australia?

Originally, I thought about it, but no, its a FFA... Free For All...

PS: Only edit BBS System left to fix. Add/Search/View List are all working

I would say to focus on sanitizing your inputs to prevent SQL and
HTML injection. I would imagine that there might be good examples for
PHP.

Hmm to be honest, I wasn't overly worried, more interest in making it work rather than finding new ways to break it . :) However you're right, and there's
some sanitizing in place from the scripts I used to work from. Looks like PHP functions for sanitizing.

I don't know if it was intentional, but that whole
paragraph is indented

For better or worse it was intentional, and done in iceedit.

Ah.. I'm curious why?

Welll, I think the very first line started normally, then I went a tab for the start of a paragraph, and just kinda kept going instead.... I got your attention :)
