Old Site broke and wondering if the new databridge can fix it.

Okay, I was able to use htaccess to get a 5 year old site to display its catalog page. However, clicking on a ring used to go to a form.page and populate it. The click works but the form page is blank. I am wondering if a new databridge can fix this complex form request I built in WA years ago? Not sure what has changed and what is no longer kosher. Testing the recordset calls up the items. http://www.ringsbychristianbauer.com/weddingrings.php

Databridge probably wouldn't fix it alone. You probably need someone to debug it. If you give me FTP access I can go in and debug, or you can sign up for a premier support ticket and we can debug it together in a screen sharing session. Once I know what is wrong then I can tell you if Databridge might help in fixing it.

Your connections path was wrong on the page. You had:

php:
<?php require_once('/Connections/jodenonline.php'); ?>


it should be:

php:
<?php require_once('Connections/jodenonline.php'); ?>



In order to find the issue I added this to the top of the page:

php:
<?php

ini_set
("display_errors",1);
?>



That trick will make the page show the error rather than a blank page. The error said the file was missing, so I compared the path to what you used on the working weddingrings.php page to find the working path.

Thank YOU Ray

This is so strange that it used to work and then stopped, when I had the link written as before. And I had not made any changes to the path. But again thank you. My hosting company is probably going to eliminate php 5x soon and it will require all these client sites to be updated. These 4 are sites he has left fallow for so long, I am not sure he is going to want to spend the $$ required to update them, so that has been my entire hesitancy about updating my apps. Also I have stopped my subscription to Adobe last year and moved to Affinity for design and thinking about Coda for html. But Dreamweaver CS6 will not survive the next MacOS update, nor will Fireworks :-( I may be forced back to a DW sub next year. Just had a heck of a time installing extensions in 2017. I was a beta tester for years on DW and those #($*& did not listen to anything we said.
But again, Thank you Ray.
