Php Voting poll

**hebisr** · Dec 2, 2002, 21:12

Hey guys
I am creating a voting system using My SQL and PHP

I created the Database db_polls

2 tables

My problem is adding this script:

The Switch statement

switch(@$HTTP_GET_VARS["method"])
{
case "ShowAdd":
GetNewPollDetails();
break;
case "AddFinal":
AddPoll();
break;
case "ShowDelete":
GetPollToDelete();
break;
case "DeleteFinal":
DeletePoll();
break;
default:
GetChoice();
}

I saved it in a text document as managepoll.php
location of file: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs

Then to preview:
http://localhost/managepoll.php

(error)

What am I missing here?

When you put something like:

Code:

<!-- Save this as index.html -->
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello world!</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello world!</p>
</body>
</html>

in that directory, does it work?

Greetings

I saved the file in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\index.html

and went looking for it here:
-------------------------------|
http://localhost/index.html |
-------------------------------|

I received the same HTTP 404 error

But when I type http://localhost I can see

indeed! That doesn't make any sense to me at all!

Are you 110% sure you typed it in correctly?

Hi hebisr,

This is in answer to your pm. As I explained in my pm to you I will answer here because I don't like to brake a thread.

Quote from your pm:

let me clear this up real quick when I type
http://localhost

I can see

____________________
The index of/

Parent Directory
phpMyAdmin/
test.php

It looks like your webroot is not C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs. You should search for the folder containing the file 'test.php' it. That is your webroot. Different installations put the webroot folder in different places.

You are absolutely correct Sir I checked and guess where I found it?

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache \htdocs\index.html

Instead of...

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\index.html

They both possess a "htdocs" folder("interesting"...umm?)

But anyway i made a few test runs and it looks like I am on my way...........

Peace to you,
And thanks a bunch for all your help.
