Hi, I'm trying to make a blog for a website that I'm making for a group I'm in. It has three pages:
And here is the new entry page pages:PHP Code:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Website</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/BodyStyles.css" />
<style>
BLOG{
display: block;
}
ENTRY{
display: block;
}
LINE{
display: block;
}
ARTICLETITLE{
margin-left: 0.25in;
color: #666600;
font-family: Comic Sans MS;
font-weight: bolder;
font-size: 175%;
}
ARTICLETITLE:first-letter{
font-size: 180%;
color: #993300;
}
AUTHOR{
font-size: 75%;
color: #FF9900;
font-family: Comic Sans MS;
font-weight: bolder;
}
TIME{
color: #FF0000;
margin-left: 0.55in;
font-family: Comic Sans MS;
font-size: 75%;
font-weight: bolder;
display: block;
}
ABODY{
color: #003399;
display: block;
font-family: Comic Sans MS;
margin-left: 0.75in;
margin-right: 4in;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="makeBlogEntry/form.php"><img alt="Create Article" src="/buttons/cooltext463939100.png" onmouseover="this.src='/buttons/cooltext463939100MouseOver.png';" onmouseout="this.src='/buttons/cooltext463939100.png';" /></a>
<hr />
<BLOG>
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password"); if (!$con){die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());}
mysql_select_db("blog entries", $con);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM blogs ORDER BY dateOfCreation DESC";
$request = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($request)){
echo"<ENTRY><LINE>";
echo"<ARTICLETITLE>".$row['articleTitle']."</ARTICLETITLE>";
echo"<AUTHOR>".$row['authorName']."</AUTHOR></LINE>";
echo"<TIME>".$row['dateOfCreation']."</TIME>";
echo"<ABODY>";
echo $row['articleBody'];
echo"</ABODY>";
echo"</ENTRY>";
}
mysql_close($con);
?>
</BLOG>
</body>
</html>
And the processing page:PHP Code:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Website</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/BodyStyles.css" />
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h2>New Blog Entry</h2><br /><br />
<form action="submitEntry.php" method="post" >
<p>Title:<input type="text" name="articleTitle" size="20" /></p>
<p>Author:<input type="text" name="author" size="20" /></p>
<p>↓ Body ↓<br /><textarea name="body" rows="16" cols="34"></textarea></p>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>
It works, although when you view an entry that is longer than the width of the page, it simply extends it rather than jumping to a new line. I am new to PHP and was wondering if there was a function or something I could use, or if this could could be fixed within the CSS. Please help, and thanks in advance.PHP Code:<html>
<head>
<title>Website</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/BodyStyles.css" />
</head>
<body>
<?php
$title = $_POST['articleTitle'];
$aName = $_POST['author'];
$body = $_POST['body'];
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password");
if (!$con){die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());}
$sql = "INSERT INTO `blog entries`.`blogs` (`articleTitle`, `authorName`, `articleBody`)
VALUES ('$title', '$aName', '$body');";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)){die('Error: ' . mysql_error());}
mysql_close($con)
?>
<br /><br /><br />
<center><p>Thank-you!</p></center>
</body>
</html>
