Hi,

I've got the following problem:

I'm creating a module

Code:

<?php


if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {


    die ("You can't access this file directly...");


}


require_once("mainfile.php");


$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));


get_lang($module_name);


$index = 1;


include("header.php");





$form2 = <<<FIN


<form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="modules.php?name=subscription_module">


<input type="hidden" name="op" value="1"/>


  <p>Nombre/Name


</p>


  <p>


    <input type="text" name="name" />


</p>


  <p>Apellidos/Lastname</p>


  <p>


    <input type="text" name="lastname" />


  </p>


  <p>


    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Enviar" />


  </p>


</form>    


FIN;


OpenTable();


?>


<table width="490" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#E0DFE3">


  <tr>


    <td>


<?php


   switch($op){


      case 1: echo "Caso 1"; break;//confirmationForm(); 


      case 2: echo "Caso 2"; break; //sendMail($_POST['message']); 


      default: echo "$form2";


   }


?>


   </td></tr>


</table>


<?php


CloseTable();


include("footer.php");


?>

When you call the module for the first time you see the form, then you fill the form and click the submit button and you get "Sorry, such file doesn't exist..."
what it is the problem?

It appears it can't find 'subscription_module'. Make sure the spelling and case are correct.

I double checked many times and the case and the spelling are correct.
the thing that confuse me is that why the first time I can see the form, but when I submit the form, it can't find the module.

I remember something about the first letter of all modules has to be a capital letter. I have a feeling that this is the issue.

No, it can be lower case. Are you sure you have an index.php file?

I've got this:

../modules/subscription_module all in lower case and the code I posted on the first message on this topic is the index.php.

I have tryed typing the address on the address bar like:

http://www.mydomain.com/modules.php?name=subscription_module
http://www.mydomain.com/modules.php?name=subscription_module&op=1
http://www.mydomain.com/modules.php?name=subscription_module&op=2

and it works, but when I type http://www.mydomain.com/modules.php?name=subscription_module I see the form,then I fill in the form, click on submit button and I get the message Sorry, such file doesn't exist...

This is really driving me mad, it is quite weird.

What else can I do?

Raven, please any help on this topic

Try changing

Code:

action="modules.php?name=subscription_module"

to

Code:

action="http://your_domain.com/modules.php?name=subscription_module"

Just to rule out a path issue of any kind. Assuming that doesn't work, please zip up your subscription_module and email it to me.

At last, I've got the problem!!!

I was using a form and one of the fields has it name attribute set to name.
PHPNUKE has a global variable called $name and takes the module's name as its value, so the form $name variable was overwriting the global one. That it is why I received always the error messege "Sorry, such file doesn't exist..." it couldn't find the file.
