do you have a URL so I can see what is invalid

It's Advanced Guestbook 2.2

Users of my guest book can't post messages - I get this error:
Guestbook - error One of the input fields does not seem to be valid.

I'm a newbie to this guestbook and have no idea what's wrong.. any ideas?

Dein Gott,

Ganz im Sinne deiner Gottes, helfe Dir selbst, dann wirst Du geholfen.

Dein Gott,

That isn't completely true in my opinion.

VARCHAR has a limited length of 255 bytes. You have to choose BLOB or text (like the comment field) to overcome that problem.

should of said I start from http://www.focusferrers.co.uk/main.php?page=addentry

I've been searching around here for a while and cannot see an answer to my problem, like a lot of others before me I apologise in advance if it has already been raised.

When I click the submit button the code tries to go to www.focusferrers.co.uk/addentry.php rather than
http://www.focusferrers.co.uk/guestbook/addentry.php

I actually want it to eventually point to http://www.focusferrers.co.uk/main.php?page=addentry but I know that wont work for the moment.

Where do I set the variable that makes it return to the correct page? I know I've put addentry.php in the root of my web page. That is so I could see what page it tried to go to. (It was just going to my ISP's 404 page.)
If there is anybody out there that can help it would be gratefully received.

I removed it from the main site because of that error. But here is the link to the page
http://www.fairy-nails.nl/counter/top2.htm

I copied everything from the demo.php file into that top2.htm file.
Wrong Idea?

I don't have the script myself...don't need it. but if you are actually seeing that on your page, it means that it is showing up as html.

what type of file is that nested in? is it a .html, .shtml, or .php

also, I don't see the opening php tag of <?

It would be very helpful if you posted a URL, so I can see what is actually going on....kind of hard when the URL is blah blah

Hello as a newbie in building website I have a problem inserting the php script on my website.
I uploaded verything to the server and when I browse to blah/counter/demo.php it works fine. I copied everything in to a html file but when I browse to it (blah/counter/index.html) I see an error in the top of the page.:
show_counter(); /* Returns an associative array */ ?>

(part of the 8 line of the script)

I can't find any differences between the demo and the stuff I copied....Any solutions?

Another Q I have.
Does anything need to be done with the db settings in the config.inc.php, do I need to create an mysql table?

This is an age old question that just seems to get ask all the time. I think that Mr. Proxy2.de should create an FAQ board, so we don't all have to waste time with these questions. Here we go.

1). open gb.class.php and edit around line 73

Replace [/b]http://www.mydomain.com/ [/b]with your homepage URL

2.) Now add a javascript function to the guestbook header
Search for the file header.php and add this

nice test!

it works fine, when i reload the numbers go 1, 2, 3 ...

....

what's next?

OK, here is session test script to see if sessions are working correctly on your server.

<?php
// Pull the $destroy variable into the global namespace
extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);

session_start();

// Pull the $count variable in also
foreach($HTTP_SESSION_VARS as $key => $value) {
    eval("\$$key =& \$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[\"$key\"];");
}
session_register("count");

if ($destroy) {
    session_destroy();
    header("Location: session_test.php");
    exit;
}
$count++;
?>

<html>
    <head>
      <title>Session Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
      <H1> Session Test </H1>

If sessions are configured properly in your PHP installation,
      then you should see a session id below, and the "page views"
      number should increase every time you reload the page.  Clicking
      "start over" should reset the page view number back to 1.

<p>

If this <b>does not</b> work, then you most likely have a
      configuration issue with your PHP installation.  Guestbook will
      not work properly until PHP's session management is configured
      properly.

<p>

<table border=1>
	<tr>
	  <td>
	    Your session id is
	  </td>
	  <td>
	    <?php echo session_id()?> &
	  </td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	  <td>
	    Page views in this session
	  </td>
	  <td>
	    <?php echo $count?>
	  </td>
	</tr>
      </table>

<a href="session_test.php?destroy=1">Start over</a>
      <p>
      Return to the <a href="diagnostics.php">Diagnostics Page</a>
    </body>
  </html>

run paste this into a new text file and save as session_test.php and upload to your server and run.

please guest9999 don't stop people when they are trying to help (even if i agree with you for the first answer "question has been asked about a dozen times,...")

_____________

what you explain is exactly what i did before, so this doesn't help me much... still the same problem
what i can't understand is why my code was working on a server, i ftp-downloaded the files to my computer then ftp-uploaded them to a new server... (i didn't forget to recreate the 2 CHMOD and transfer the db)
the fact is that i didnt install the guestbook, it's a copy, so maybe i forgot something!...

anyway, is it possible to use an unsecured, "unsessionned" admin (i only use "easy admin")? what should i do for that?
