Hi
I am very new to PHP - actually, this is my second day at it, as I've only
recently started a new job last week. We're a charity.
I have a "No input file selected" problem. A Google search has shown me that
this is a common problem, but I have tried to follow all the various
instructions but none of them make any difference.
First of all... Some background on the page it links from.....
http://www.goodgifts.org/goodgifts/guilttrips.php
(I know about the broken gif at the bottom, but that's unimportant at the
moment).
When you click on Europe (I haven't written the PHP pages for the other
areas yet) it comes up with "no input file selected". Or it does my end
anyway. I am of course talking about
http://www.goodgifts.org/goodgifts/worldmap1.php
Which is very odd, as I've done everything right (I think).
FILE STRUCTURE:
In the root we have all the various PHP files: here is the file called
worldmap1.php
Sorry if the word wrapping makes it really hard to read

Oh, the includes/application_top.php is just the banner, and yes, I do
define
define('FILENAME_WORLDMAP1', 'worldmap1.php');
Along with all the other definitions.
NOW for the meaty bit. The PHP file proper is saved, again with all the
other PHP files, in includes/languages/english/worldmap1.php
This is the contents of the file. Which I've gone through with a toothcomb.

Again, apologies about the dreadful wrapping - it doesn't look as bad as
that in Go!Live but when I copy and paste it into Entourage it looks awful.
As I said, this is only my second day using PHP and only my fifth day using
a Mac, but I think you can see I'm a pretty fast learner. :-) (I've been
typing in raw HTML on PCs most of my web authoring life ;-))) )
In case any of you want to see roughly what the original HTML file that I
wrote last week looks like, before copying the relevant table into the PHP
file, it is
http://www.charitiesadvisorytrust.org.uk/charitiesadvisorytrust/worldmap1.ht
ml
Now, as you will hopefully see, I have defined the filenames, I have
remembered to add the backslashes before the apostrophes, and I just can't
seem to find out why the thing won't work. Apologies if this seems so very
basic and newbie - I'm trying to get to grips with what is for me still a
very new way of writing code... But I HAVE tried to find the answer out on
various newsgroups, and reading old posts in Google, to try and avoid
wasting your time unnecessarily so.
As I said, we're a Charity so any help is very much appreciated!! Thanks
again!
