Redesign Poll for new site design.

[gaogier]

Hello

 

I am looking to redesign an old poll system what approved to work effeciantly, however I now need to get the poll to work on my new site.

 

I am getting these errors.

 

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/gaogier/public_html/includes/polls.php on line 4

 

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/gaogier/public_html/includes/polls.php on line 4

 

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/gaogier/public_html/includes/polls.php on line 52

 

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/gaogier/public_html/includes/polls.php on line 52

 

 

Code is on pastebin - 24 hours.

Now here is where my files are located

 

includes/connect.php

includes/polls.php

pages/ - my pages.php - displayed as a new folder almost using mod rewrite.

tpl/sidebar.tpl - where my poll will be displayed using php - include.

Isn't it pretty obvious? Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/gaogier/public_html/includes/polls.php on line 4

 

So check your database connection code.

The same file connect to the same database for everything on the site. which all works.

You include connect.php in your poll.php file with a relative file path.  This will work if you are accessing poll.php itself, but will not work if poll.php is included in another file, as that file will do the include. So, PHP is looking in the pages/ folder for the file connect.php.  You should put an absolute file path to the connect file.

require_once ('absolute/path/to/connect.php');

 

This is the exact reason that so many of us stress that you must use absolute file paths to every included file.

I commented out the connect and poll now works for some unknown reason.
