CodeCutter Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 Please see my website www.organio.org If I click on a category, I get an message "Error! Unable to determine the page link!". I found that if I comment following line in index.php, it does not give this error. <td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_PRODUCT_LISTING); ?></td> Analysis of this file led me to website\includes\classes\split_page_results.php I found that the variable $PHP_SELF is not being set for this file. Can someone tell me how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance. -- Reality is an illusion caused due to lack of alcohol. -- We are never too old to learn something new.
CodeCutter Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 I did some research and found that $PHP_SELF is set in application_top.php I am printing it on top of the of the page. However, this variable gets reset when I want to go to any product category. Any idea what is causing this and how to fix this?

Jan Zonjee Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 What happens if you change $PHP_SELF to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?
CodeCutter Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 I added following code to index.php require('includes/application_top.php'); /* test start */ $PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; print "PHP_SELF beginning of index.php = " . $PHP_SELF; /* test end */ This seems to work okay ONLY when product page has only 1 page. For the first category, we have 2 pages so it bombs when I click on page 2. I tested this code in demo site and $PHP_SELF always shows /index.php If I add code as above, it changes variable to cPath/27 etc. I think it is better to find how the variable is getting reset? I don't know much about HTML/PHP, but my question is that wouldn't application_top.php be loaded "every" time I clicked on index.php (either Home or inside a category)? If yes, then PHP_SELF should be getting set each time, so how is it getting reset? Am I missing something? -- Reality is an illusion caused due to lack of alcohol. -- We are never too old to learn something new.
CodeCutter Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 I think that I have resolved the issue temporarily. In the Admin section, I set "Use search-engine safe URL" = False. But the real question still remains. Is this a bug in osCommerce? or is this something which will prevent me from using Use search-engine safe URLs? I would like to test this further. Any help from experts will be appreciated. -- Reality is an illusion caused due to lack of alcohol. -- We are never too old to learn something new.
OceanRanch Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 No bug some browsers and/or web servers can't handle the safe URL format and come up with an invalid link when changing it to a "real" URL. Tom
CodeCutter Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 <confused mode> I don't think it has anything to do with browser. I am using same browser. Goto www.mags4cheap.com Click on "Automobile and Cycles" category. It will show 4 pages and you can browse easily for all pages. Does it mean the problem is only for me? I STILL don't know where the variable is getting reset and how to avoid it and still have search engine safe-URL's. </confused mode> -- Reality is an illusion caused due to lack of alcohol. -- We are never too old to learn something new.
