Problem with PHP Server-Side Script

[Amanda H.]

I got the JS fix I needed earlier, but now I have another problem. For
some reason, I cannot get my PHP script for style switching to be
recognized by any browser except Safari, which is ridiculous. I got it
from http://www.webligo.com/products_styles.php and it has been the
only PHP style switcher script that has worked thus far for me on any
browser.

Here is the test site: http://www.amandahenson.com/testsite/

I compared the winter and dirty styles, and there's no difference. Perhaps
you are relying on register_global s being enabled, while they are not.

When register_global s are disabled, you should reference $_GET['style']
instead of $style...

Re: Problem with PHP Server-Side Script

Hey there JW.

I haven't set up the layout for any of the styles except for OFF,
BLOOM, and BASIC. All the rest exhibit the OFF style. I am pretty
sure the globals are enabled but I'll check. Thanks for the help :)

I checked the globals, and they were off, but is now on and seems to
make no difference. I checked the PHP and it is using $_GET so who
knows? Seriously, if anyone knows, tell me :).

I ran the examples and although they work, FireFox complaints about an
invalid MIME type.

To fix this, at the beginning of the file, add: the following on the top of
the styleswitcher.p hp script (just after the opening PHP-tag):

header('Content-Type: text/css');

BTW, did you get the text examples to work? If you did, you check the
differences between the implementations .

Re: Problem with PHP Server-Side Script

It is working *better* now overall. The only problem is that not all
of the browsers are refreshing when the theme is selected. Working:
Safari, Firefox, Netscape. Not refreshing: Opera, IE/Win. IE/Mac
doesn't look pretty, but I'm not going to worry about it right now :)

The header copy worked right, and made the other browsers recognize.
So have you been up all night, or is it just me?

Re: Problem with PHP Server-Side Script

the browser knows it's done with headers when it receivs a blank line. try
echoing a "\n" after your header() and see if that helps any.

In my time zone, it was in the afternoon, so it's just you ;-)
