I'm new here...
I've tried to solve this problem by myself, but since I'm too noobish at PHP, I just couldn't. You see, while working on a forum I was tasked to create, I almost finish it, but when I was testing the 'create topic' function, it doesn't bring me back to the topics subcategory (where the new topic would appear). Instead, it stays locked on a white screen.
What could have happened? Here's the code by the way:
<?php
include ('layout_manager.php');
include ('content_function.php');
?>
<html>
<head><title>Inki's PHP Forum Tutorial</title></head>
<link href="/forum-tutorial/styles/main.css" type="text/css"
rel="stylesheet" />
<body>
<div class="pane">
<div class="header"><h1><a href="/forum-tutorial">PHP and MySQL Forum
Tutorial</a></h1></div>
<div class="loginpane">
<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
logout();
} else {
if (isset($_GET['status'])) {
if ($_GET['status'] == 'reg-success') {
echo "<h1 style='color: green;'>new user registered successfully!</h1>";
} else if ($_GET['status'] == 'login-fail') {
echo "<h1 style='color: red;'>invalid username and/or password!</h1>";
}
}
loginform();
}
?>
</div>
<div class="forumdesc">
<p>Welcome to the world's coolest forum made with PHP and MySQL... for noobs
just like you!</p>
</div>
<div class="content">
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
echo "<form action='/forum-tutorial/addnewtopic.php?
cid=".$_GET['cid']."&scid=".$_GET['scid']."'
method='POST'>
<p>Title: </p>
<input type='text' id='topic' name='topic' size='100' />
<p>Content: </p>
<textarea id='content' name='content'></textarea><br />
<input type='submit' value='add new post' /></form>";
} else {
echo "<p>please login first or <a href='/forum-tutorial/register.html'>click
here</a> to register.</p>";
}
?>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is from "newtopic.php"
<?php
include ('dbconn.php');
$newuser = $_POST['usernameinput'];
$newpwd = $_POST['passwordinput'];
$insert = mysqli_query($con, "INSERT INTO users (`username`, `password`)
VALUES ('".$newuser."', '".$newpwd."');");
if ($insert) {
header("Location: /forum-tutorial/reg-success");
}
?>
and this is from "addnewtopic.php".
Any help is appreciated.
