yes that worked thanks.
apparently I have a long way to go before I can make this work well for me.
Do you suggest a better web design software, possibly one that picks up on some of these obvious errors and suggests corrections?

I have been looking at upgrading to Serif Webplus or MS expression, any likes/dislikes. Also, I have worked with Dreamweaver in the past, but that was many years ago.

thanks

Hi,

can you look at this and tell me why i am getting the error. I have tried placing the php code in multiple places and always seem to get an error.

"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /hsphere/local/home/elsareim/emmanuelshepherds.com/index.php:27) in /hsphere/local/home/elsareim/emmanuelshepherds.com/index.php on line 102"

Thanks

Hi again,

I've been racking my brain trying to get this stuff to work on my clients website. This is not easy at all.

Firstly, when i paste the code into the webpage in my web design application, I don't see it properly... only when i upload the newly saved file to my server, does it show up properly. This seems very weird to me. Is it a restriction of Frontpage. If yes, then what web design software do you suggest i use?

When I view the index.php page on my server it has these words in the table where i want my new article to show up "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /hsphere/local/home/elsareim/emmanuelshepherds.com/index.php:7) in /hsphere/local/home/elsareim/emmanuelshepherds.com/index.php on line 82"

Is there a way that i can view changes that i am making to my existing website without changing the permanent files? One limitation seems to be that I can't see the pages properly unless i am viewing them from the server. This is awkward.

If this is all over my head, then just say so. It has been suggested that I buy your cms cookbook, but if that is the expectation, then maybe you should sell it as part of the package.

Very frustrated

Hi,

I'm not sure what you wanted me to do with this code:

# save this file as hello.php
print "Hello World from PHP";
?>

I copied it into a simple text program, saved it as a php extension and uploaded it to my root file directory.... i got nothing.

I have had success with the code generator and pasting code into a simple text doc with a php extension. The above code you wrote should work in theory, but when i save it to the directory on my server and type mydomainsurl/hello.php... I get nothing.

A question another user had raised, questioned the changing of the files on my server from html to php. He stated that this would render all the search engine links that exist presently, null and void, due to the change in file name. This is true is it not? Is there any way around this?

Am I going to have lots of problems embedding the php code into my existing webpages if i don't change them to php extensions?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Soo, I am able to see the php code generated as a page in a browser. Then when i try to copy and paste it into my existing page I run into problems. I guess I don't quite understand how it all works. If i copy and paste into my existing page, then edit the code using frontpage, am I destroying the link between the saved file (example: newslist.php). It is my understanding that whatever i do for edits should probably be done in the original file that I create in csm builder. When i generate that code, i am stuck with it, unless i go back into csm builder and change and regenerate it... is this true.

I am trying to make my clients website updateable by them. I need to know that whatever i create and copy paste into the existing website... that it will reflect any changes they might make as an editor.

This is a hell of alot harder than it you guys make it out to be.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I don't profess to be a code writer. I have built several websites in html and they have worked fine. I can even fake it for some of the basic coding by editing, cutting and pasting.

I am somewhat disappointed by the level of difficulty which your product seems to require. I have been struggling with adding your code generator code to my clients existing site. Your advertising sounds easy, but I am here to tell you it isn't easy. I don't want to have to ask for a refund, but I will have to soon if I can't get this to work.

I noticed a forum posting that stated problems with php in an existing html site. Is this true? Is that why I am having soo much trouble. Your literature doesn't state that you have to start using your software with a new php only site. I would like to know if I need to be a programmer to use your software or is it a software problem.

Thanks for your prompt reply
