Websystems 2: PHP CGI error

Problem: An CGI error kept occuring when inserting data to the database and could not find the problem

Solution: Missed some simple code

oci_free_statement($stmt);

The statement was not closed which created errors. Fairly simple error but may happen again

Websystems 2: PHP and database occuring problem

I had thought that it maybe a good idea to blog what I am doing over and over incorrectly.


When retrieving attributes from the database:

while ($row = oci_fetch_array ($stmt))
{
? >
Breed: < value = "">
< ? echo $row["BREED_NAME"]; ? >
< /option >

Attributes have to be in capitals or else errors occur. My problem is that I write what the attribute of the database case is for which is in lower case.

Problem solved

Websystems 2: PHP Session problem

Problem: I wanted to use sessions for an login so it remembers username and password. i had used the code:

< ? ob_start(); session_start(); ? >

but kept getting errors about already defined header.

Solution: The code was put in the incorrect position. This code needs to be above the html header as I found out after 20mins of pulling my hair out.

Ipod Nano Freeze Alert

Problem- Ipod Nano had frozen with the screen lit up and no ways in communicating or controlling the IPod.

Solution - The way to restart the Ipod is by select the menu and middle button and holding both down for 10 seconds which then fixed the problem
