Pls help with this form problem

Hi,

I have been trying tho get a solution to this problem for 4 days !

There must be an error but I can not see what it is. This should be pretty simple !

I wrote a script to processes my image-getting form and it is included by my main script which is called [homes_add.php]. After doing the include the main script should just continue processing - right ??
well it doesn't.

I have put in some test displays and you can see them in the code.
The HELLOOOOO gets displayed.

From inside the included script [a_pict.php] a form script [a_pict_fm.php] is run which works fine ( the form just actions the included script again).

The include then finally displays
the two test texts: "got here" and "*** and GOT here"

Then the screen stops.

- GOT HERE !!! on the main script [homes_add.php] does NOT display nor do the other tests !!

To summarise the problem is that the included a_pict.php script stops at the last line afer executing this :

echo " *** and GOT here";

IT DOESN'T RETURN TO HOMES_ADD.PRG

If anyone can help - I'd much appreciate it as I am a bit stuck !

HERE IS THE MAIN - HOMES_ADD.PHP SCRIPT
IT CALLS THE PICTURE HANDLING SCRIPT

please note the comments where it stops.

PHP: Select all


  <?php  
/*   
*  homes_add.php  
*  
* Called by :  homes_ad_btn.php  
*   
* Call a_picts.php to get the pictures  
*   
*  processes the  homes_add_fm.php which is the   
*   FORM for adding a home.  
*/  
             
if (!isset($_POST['run_mn'])){        

PREPARES DATA AND CALLS THE MAIN FORM ( NOT PICTURE FORM)   

else {   // BIG else    -  SO MAIN FORM HAS RUN  

   VALIDATES FORM DATA  

/*   
*  Now we get the pictures.  
*/  
    if( $pict == "y"){   
     echo "HELLOOOOO";      //  < --   test  ( this displays ok )  
      include ("a_picts.php");   //  < --   HERE IS THE CALLING   
     echo " GOT HERE !!!";  //  < --   test  ( this does NOT display )   
         }  // endif   
    else{  
       $N_pix1=$N_pix2=$N_pix3=$N_pix4=$N_pix5="none";  
         } // end else  


echo "Pix1: ".$N_pix1." Pix2: ".$N_pix2." Pix3: ".$N_pix3;   //  < --   test  ( this does NOT display )  
             
$sql = "UPDATE homes SET  
         pix1 = '$N_pix1',   
         pix2 = '$N_pix2',  
         pix3 = '$N_pix3',   
         pix4 = '$N_pix4',  
         pix5 = '$N_pix5'   
                                                  
     WHERE ad_ref = '$A_ref' ";  
          
     mysql_query($sql)   
    or die("could not execute HOMES UPDATE PICTURES query");  

echo" DONE HOMES UPDATE";  //  < --   test  ( this does NOT display )            
            
/*  
*  Update the client table  
*/   
        ETC ETC  
         
} // end BIG else  

?>

THIS IS THE FORM THE SECOND SCRIPT THAT CALLS AND THEN PROCESSES
THE FORM

PHP: Select all


  if(isset($_POST['run'])){  // BIG IF   

     PROCESSES THE PICT_FM.PHP   FORM  

   echo "got here";  
}  // end BIG IF   

else    {  
    $message1 = "none";  
    $message2 = "none";   
     require_once ("a_picts_fm.php");    //  CALLS THE FORM   
     exit();  
    } // end else  

echo " *** and got here";     //  it prints this  

  //  THIS WHERE IT STOPS   

?>

AND THIS IS THE FORM THAT THE ABOVE REQUIRES
(which works fine)

PHP: Select all


  <?php  
/*   
* picts_fm.php  
*  
* Called by : picts.php   
* IT THEN GOES BACK TO PICTS.PHP  
*  
* FORM for adding images.   
*

How your whole process hangs together seems a little confused and there seems to be bits missing from the snippets of code you have given us but anyway ...

Code: Select all

else    {  
    $message1 = "none";  
    $message2 = "none";   
     require_once ("a_picts_fm.php");    //  CALLS THE FORM   
     exit();  
    } // end else

In this piece of code above you have the line exit();

This will terminate the execution of the php code so you won't go any further.
