Help a confused newbie please

[Guest]

I have written a html doc and placed within php file in the privacy.php file.

The browser is able to read the text fine (understands tag for underline bold etc) but wont follow the links that I have place within the text. The links are like "back to top" links and I have used html

<a href=></a> and <a id=><a> tags. Will php not read this?

Could someone suggest where i could get info on how to fix this

Have you tested the html code outside of the php code? Does it only fail within the php code? What version of php are you using?

[Guest]

I have test the html code

I wrote with coffecup html editor and it worked fine.

I then cut and pasted the html into hapedit which is what I used to edit the php.

My server uses php 4.3.9

thanks for your help

Your links look like this:

 

<a href="#pot">

 

That's it. It doesn't say what PAGE these anchors can be found. OSCommerce always put s a <base> tag at the beginning of each document. This tells your browser, "whenever I don't give an absolute url, assume the link is relative from this point." Your base href tag is:

 

<base href="http://greatshades.co.uk/shop/">

 

Therefor, your links become

 

http://greatshades.co.uk/shop/#pot

 

Try instead:

 

<a href="privacy.php#pot">

Hi, I realize this thread is a little old, but this post was such a tremendous help to me........I had to say thanks! :D

[jonquil]

This was very helpful :) I would like to use this on products_info.php and I understand why it doesn't function with a typical HTML anchor.

 

My products_info image is consistent at 300x300, centered, with the description below the image. On short-screen laptops, for example, one must scroll down to find the description.

 

I have removed the Model reference below the Product Name and would like to do as follows:

Camaro

(

Click for Description

) [

links to anchor

]

 

products_image [centered]

addtocart.gif [centered]

 

[anchor]

This car has heated seats and a stock stereo.

 

Price: 20,000

 

Attributes:

 

Here is the code chunk from products_info.php:

	if (tep_not_null($product_info['products_model'])) {
  $products_name = $product_info['products_name'] . '<br><span class="smallText"></span>';
} else {
  $products_name = $product_info['products_name'];
}
?>
  <tr>
	<td><table border="0" width="98%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	  <tr>
		<td class="pageHeading"><?php echo $products_name; ?></td>
		<td class="pageHeading"></td>
	  </tr>
	</table></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
	<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '2'); ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
	<td class="main">
<?php
if (tep_not_null($product_info['products_image'])) {
?>
	  <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center">
		<tr>
		  <td valign="top" class="smallText">
<script language="javascript"><!--
document.write('<?php
$product_substr = $product_info['products_image'];
$product_substr = substr($product_substr,0, strlen($product_substr) - 7) . ".jpg";
echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_substr, addslashes($product_info['products_name'])); ?>');
//--></script>
<noscript>
<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image']) . '" target="_blank">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image'], $product_info['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'hspace="5" vspace="5"') . '<br>' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>'; ?>
</noscript>
		  </td>
		</tr>
		<tr><td align="center"><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART); ?></td>
	   </tr>
	  </table>
<?php
}
?>
	  <p><?php echo stripslashes($product_info['products_description']); ?><br><br><font size="2"><b>Price: <?php echo $products_price; ?></b></font></p>
<?php
$products_attributes_query = tep_db_query("select count(*) as total from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . " popt, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " patrib where patrib.products_id='" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "' and patrib.options_id = popt.products_options_id and popt.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'");
$products_attributes = tep_db_fetch_array($products_attributes_query);
if ($products_attributes['total'] > 0) {
?>
	  <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
		<tr>
		  <td class="main" colspan="2"><?php echo TEXT_PRODUCT_OPTIONS; ?></td>

 

Many thanks to anyone who can help me sort this out :)
