php problem

CyanEyed

hey,

im beginning to use php so that user can rate my stuff. i got a rating script of http://www.gr0w.com/articles/code/php_5_star_rating_system_using_hreview/
the code is as follows:

Code:

<?

// User settings
$rater_ip_voting_restriction = true; // restrict ip address voting (true or false)
$rater_ip_vote_qty=1; // how many times an ip address can vote
$rater_already_rated_msg="You have already rated this item. You were allowed ".$rater_ip_vote_qty." vote(s).";
$rater_not_selected_msg="You have not selected a rating value.";
$rater_thankyou_msg="Thanx for voting.";
$rater_generic_text="this item"; // generic item text
$rater_end_of_line_char="\n"; // may want to change for different operating systems

if(!isset($rater_id)) $rater_id=1;
if(!isset($rater_item_name)) $rater_item_name=$rater_generic_text;

// DO NOT MODIFY BELOW THIS LINE
$rater_filename='item_'.$rater_id.".rating";
$rater_rating=0;
$rater_stars="";
$rater_stars_txt="";
$rater_rating=0;
$rater_votes=0;
$rater_msg="";

// Rating action
if(isset($_REQUEST["rate".$rater_id])){
if(isset($_REQUEST["rating_".$rater_id])){
while(list($key,$val)=each($_REQUEST["rating_".$rater_id])){
$rater_rating=$val;
}
$rater_ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$rater_file=fopen($rater_filename,"a+");
$rater_str="";
$rater_str = rtrim(fread($rater_file, 1024*8),$rater_end_of_line_char);
if($rater_str!=""){
if($rater_ip_voting_restriction){
$rater_data=explode($rater_end_of_line_char,$rater_str);
$rater_ip_vote_count=0;
foreach($rater_data as $d){
$rater_tmp=explode("|",$d);
$rater_oldip=str_replace($rater_end_of_line_char,"",$rater_tmp[1]);
if($rater_ip==$rater_oldip){
$rater_ip_vote_count++;
}
}
if($rater_ip_vote_count > ($rater_ip_vote_qty - 1)){
$rater_msg=$rater_already_rated_msg;
}else{
fwrite($rater_file,$rater_rating."|".$rater_ip.$rater_end_of_line_char);
$rater_msg=$rater_thankyou_msg;
}
}else{
fwrite($rater_file,$rater_rating."|".$rater_ip.$rater_end_of_line_char);
$rater_msg=$rater_thankyou_msg;
}
}else{

$rater_msg=$rater_thankyou_msg;
}
fclose($rater_file);
}else{

}
}

// Get current rating
if(is_file($rater_filename)){
$rater_file=fopen($rater_filename,"r");
$rater_str="";
$rater_str = fread($rater_file, 1024*8);
if($rater_str!=""){
$rater_data=explode($rater_end_of_line_char,$rater_str);
$rater_votes=count($rater_data)-1;
$rater_sum=0;
foreach($rater_data as $d){
$d=explode("|",$d);
$rater_sum+=$d[0];
}
$rater_rating=number_format(($rater_sum/$rater_votes), 2, '.', '');
}
fclose($rater_file);
}else{
$rater_file=fopen($rater_filename,"w");
fclose($rater_file);
}

// Assign star image
if ($rater_rating <= 0 ){$rater_stars = "./img/00star.gif";$rater_stars_txt="Not Rated";}

i put it into action and i get the following:

Code:

Warning: fopen(item_1.rating): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/cyaneyed/domains/cyaneyed.frih.net/public_html/rater.php on line 84

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/cyaneyed/domains/cyaneyed.frih.net/public_html/rater.php on line 85

u can see for yourself at http://www.cyaneyed.frih.net/poetry/entrancing-eyes.php
i have chmod to 777 but i still get that error.

i use

Code:

<?
$rater_id=1;
$rater_item_name='Entrancing Eyes';
include('../rater.php')
?>

to call it into my page.

i have tried using an absolute path (ie. http://www.cyaneyed.frih.net/bla/bla/bla/rater.php)
but then when i click the submit/Rate button it loads a new page.

any ideas how to get it to work within the same page without the error codes?

Thanks,

CyanEyed

PS. im not sure what version of php it is (cuz im new at it). is it possible that its php 5? which i know isnt supported by frihost (yet)

hexkid

Try this

Code:

// DO NOT MODIFY BELOW THIS LINE
$rater_filename='../item_'.$rater_id.".rating";

The include '../rater.php'; you have in your code does not change the directory; you're still in /home/cyaneyed/domains/cyaneyed.frih.net/public_html/poetry/ even inside the included file.

thanks.

its working properly now.
