SimplePortal

Yes. many users are using it with 1.1.13

[ACAMS]

This piece of code depends on $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']) being set. But, in the context of this SimplePortal page, it doesn't appear that the value has been set.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.files.php
The $_FILES php variable is supposed to be an array of items uploaded to the current script via the HTTP POST method.
But if you are not getting to that page via an HTTP post that uploaded items, then that variable will not have been set.

What do I need to do to fix it?

[Angelina Belle]

I don't have enough information about what you are trying to do.

But, basically, this part of the code needs to be on a page that is receiving the result of a form that uploaded a file.
Instead, it is hitting that part of the code (the part that affects $_FILE to have been set) without having had that php superglobal variable set.

I don't know more because I have not seen the code.
If I were trying to track down this problem, I would start with a very simple example of form handling, from your favorite php tutorial. The one at w3schools.com, for example. I would make sure that it is possible to handle a simple form in a SimplePortal php block. I have never tried this. I don't know what other parts of the page might be competing for the contents of the php variables.

I might also have a look through QueryString.php, in function cleanRequest. It doesn't look like anything bad happens to $_FILES in there. But I am not an expert on SMF coding.

This is definitely a bit of an advanced topic. You'll need the help of someone good handling forms in php, and preferably some experience modding SMF.

Thanks for the reply, but I usually get THOUSANDS of errors a day and have now stopped most. Every time I fix one error problem another pops up, and now I am only getting about 50 a day......I can live with that!
I thought maybe it would be a simple fix, like maybe adding a line to Sources/Subs.php


Thanks anyway.

You need to change your tables collation to use either utf8_unicode or utf8_general all,  sometimes even columns needs to be changed.

You most likely install SP twice,  you will need to see the parser for SP and make sure you do not have any duplicate code in your files.

how I can change that, not much of DB?

@ACAMS
Your problem could be fixed by doing something to the code that is causing the problem -- the code you added to the php block.
I cannot know exactly what, because I haven't seen the code.

[ACAMS]

Well I will show it to you if you don't mind looking at it for me.

[Angelina Belle]

I can promise to look at it. I cannot promise I will be able to solve the problem, though!

Right. I don't see the part where you actually upload the files.

[ACAMS]

It works, just gives error when somebody looks at the page.....don't have to upload, just look!

[Angelina Belle]

@ACAMS -- The reason you get the error is that you are trying to check the value of something that does not exist.
To avoid the error message, you can avoid doing that. You might like to test the following, to see if it works properly for you:

Code Select Expand

if ( isset($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] )

[ACAMS]

Where would I put that?....in my code somewhere?

[Angelina Belle]

Code (find) Select Expand

if($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'])

Code (replace) Select Expand

if ( isset($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] )

[ACAMS]

I get this error...


Syntax error in block code. Please check the code.

[Angelina Belle]

If your code works, then this one should work, too.
