path-problem, slashes and backslashes

[Rasmus]

Dataface seems to be installed correctly, the interface displays and I can jump between different tables on the left navigation. But somehow, the links in the main area are all funny.

e.g. under the tab "details" I get the following URL
http://mypage/%5C/dataface.php?-table=continent&-action=view&-cursor=0&-skip=0&-limit=30&-mode=list

and "show all" has this
http://mypage/%5C/dataface.php?-action=list&-table=country

To make things more interesting, firefox displays these with different numbers of slashes/backslashes in the statusbar if I movew my mouse over the links.

My php code so far looks like this:

display();
?>

I am running a local webserver with a virtual server mypage, the database is connected via "localhost".

I have played around a little with changing shlashes, paths, magicquotes, etc but nothing seems to help. (This was playing around, though. I have no clue what's wrong or how I should go about fixing it) Searching the site hasn't provided a solution either.

Any ideas?

OK, I'm assuming that your dataface installation directory is in the same directory as your dataface.php file:

your code:

Code: Select all

require_once 'dataface/dataface-public-api.php';
df_init(__FILE__, 'dataface/');
$app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance();
$app->display();
?>


Looks ok, but you may want to remove the trailing slash from 'dataface/' so that it says:
df_init(__FILE__, 'dataface');

However i very much doubt that this is the problem.

Are you running this on IIS or Apache? I haven't run any tests on IIS for some time and have somewhat forgotten about it since Apache can be installed quite easily on Windows.

Ha!

It has something to do with the virtual host; if I access the page through

http://localhost/virtual/mypage/dataface.php

everything looks just fine. Very strange ...
