Newbee Moved code page not working 1

[evr72]

Hello,

I am very new at php. I was trying to make some changes to a php page, I think I move some code and now the page won't load. I was wondering if anybody could give me a hand?

?><?php 	  $v_admin_username ='Username/Email' ;	  $v_admin_password = 'password'; 	  ?>      <form name="frm_login" action="" method="post">      <div id="login-content">            <?php 		if($_REQUEST['msg']!='') {		?>        	<div class="notification information png_bg">				<div><?php echo $mess[$_REQUEST['msg']];?></div>            </div>		<?php        }        ?>          <p>        <label>Username</label>        <input class="text-input" name="v_admin_username" id="v_admin_username" value="" type="text" onblur="fill_field_email('v_admin_username','Username/Email');" onfocus="blank_field_email('v_admin_username','Username/Email');" onmouseover="blank_field_email('v_admin_username','Username/Email');" onmouseout="fill_field_email('v_admin_username','Username/Email');" />      </p>          <div class="clear"></div>          <p>        <label>Password</label>        <input class="text-input" name="v_admin_password" id="v_admin_password" type="password" blank_field_email('v_admin_password','password'); onfocus="blank_field_email('v_admin_password','password');" onmouseover="blank_field_email('v_admin_password','password');" onmouseout="fill_field_email('v_admin_password','password');"  />      </p>          <div class="clear"></div>          <a href="forgot_password.php">Forgot password?</a> <span>      <input  type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" onclick="return check('v_admin_username','v_admin_password');"value="Sign In" class="button" />      </span>          </div>  </form>  <br /><br />  <br /><br />    <!-- End #login-content -->           </div></body></html><?PHP

Make sure you have error reporting set and error display turned on.

jpadie, I am not sure what that means, I am honestly really new to php and programming

That code is such swiss cheese that I'd ask your web host to see if they have a backup that can be restored.

Is this really the start of the file?

?><?php

good idea thanks!!

This

[red][b]?>[/b][/red]

Is the closing tag for PHP,
and this:

[red][b]<?PHP[/b][/red]

Is the opening tag for PHP. If that is the entirety of your code, then you have a closing tag but no opening tag, and then you have an opening tag that is never closed nor has anything inside it.

Remove the first ?> and the ending <?PHP and that should make the page load again.

As word of caution, if you are so new to PHP that you don't even see these simple errors, I suggest you don't mess around with the code.

if you are new to PHP I would also add that this code does not strike me as a good example. the only thing I would expect anyone to learn from this is how not to code.


I do not Have A.D.D. im just easily, Hey look a Squirrel!

 

[evr72]

I appreciate all your input, I have been reading on PHP,very powerful. If you know how to use it. I agree with both Vacunita
and IPGuru, I should read a bit more before I start messing around with my live code.

Also Tank you Vacunita, I did what you suggested and it worked again

If I were you I would look at putting xampp on your local machine and download the site and play with it there.
