Hi,

 

I justed added to some debug messages to easypopulate.php. It

looks as if the form data passed in the http address field

 

http://XXXXXXXXX/admin/easypopulate.php?download=stream&dltype=full

 

is not received in the php code. The variables $download and $dltype remain

empty.

 

What could be the reason for that? Any ideas?

 

Cheers,

 

Jens

Hello again,

 

I got a little bit further by inserting the following lines into easypopulate.php:

 

//inserted by JH to remove download problems

$download = $HTTP_GET_VARS('download');

$dltype = $HTTP_GET_VARS('dltype');

 

Now, easypopulate gets the http variables and progresses in

downloading.

 

I am not yet done, but at least something is happening. I'm just wondering

why nobody else except "Porsche" and me is having these Problems.

 

I mean how does the original version of easypopulate get the html

variables into $download and $dltype???

 

Did I miss something during installation?

 

Cheers,

 

Jens

I?m having the same probem...

Where should I insert:

----------------------------------

//inserted by JH to remove download problems

$download = $HTTP_GET_VARS('download');

$dltype = $HTTP_GET_VARS('dltype');

----------------------------------

 

To make it work???

 

Thanks

Good job, Im also confused about this problem. I guess its not only us, Im not sure why nobody

is helping us though. Can you also tell me where you inserted that code. Thank you

Sorry. Here is what I did.

 

Insert the following section after line 9 (require('includes/application_top.php');):

 

//inserted by JH to remove download problems

$download = $HTTP_GET_VARS['download'];

$dltype = $HTTP_GET_VARS['dltype'];

 

Basically you can insert it anywhere BEFORE the firs usage of these

variables. Download works for me now. But I haven't tested it extensively.

 

Keep me updated if you find anything else.

 

Enjoy,

Hey,

 

I think I found the reason for all of our problems:

 

You probably have the register_globals turned off. If you look here:

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...egister_globals

(post of 26.5.2005)

 

you can see whats causing the problems. We are supposed to do this

(haven't tried it yet) - credit goes to Ciprian Z:

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

// WARNING: I'm not sure about this line - maybe this is why 'Upload EP File' doesn't work

 

the following will fix the problem:

 

Quote:"2. The next and biggest problem I had lies in the server I use had "Register globals off" which caused form post and other

 

variables to come back empty.

Since my host don't allow register globals to be turned on - this is common on all new PHP versions (PHP 4.2.0 and later). I

 

solved this by adding a couple of lines at the top of easypopulate.php, after the $tempdir declarations:

 

// fix by jb 20040815 set the strings to http post/request, since they don't seem to work on the new server, with register

 

globals=off...

$dltype=$_REQUEST['dltype'];

$download=$_REQUEST['download'];

 

global $HTTP_POST_FILES;

 

foreach( $HTTP_POST_FILES as $varname => $fileinfo ){

$GLOBALS[$varname] = $fileinfo["tmp_name"];

$GLOBALS[$varname.'_name'] = $fileinfo["name"];

}

// end fix jb

 

I hope this will give some people a few days less work on how to get EasyPopulate to work!

Regards Jonas "

GREAT!

 

It works. We should put a link to this discussion into the main easypopulate

contribution discussion ...

 

Nice good job, yes we should. I think this should also get posted with the contribution because

its a problem and can give alot of people a headache.
