Hello,
I am trying to make a new PHP block, or static page to wake up other PCs on my LAN using MagicPackets. Right now I am trying to get it to work on a static page, but I would like it to be in a block later. I am using a static page because I figured it would work there without much trouble. However, it errors and I am not sure if it is syntax. I am not a PHP expert at all. If I place the php file in the doc root of my server, it works in stand alone mode. I will place the code below. Maybe someone could spot why it errors in Geeklog.
I have tried with both execute php and execute php (return).
When I paste this code into the static page and chose execute PHP, this error appears when I try to view it:
Parse error: parse error in /var/www/html/home2/staticpages/index.php(59) : eval()'d code on line 1
It seems like it does not like this tag:
Nothing errors when I select (return), but no select option dropdown appears either.
Thanks a lot for any help.
Regards,
Rick
Here is the full code of the working standalone PHP page:
<?php
/*
** CVS info: $Id$
** ---------------------------------------------------------
*/
/****************************
** Configuration section **
****************************/
// List of hosts
$hosts = array(
"Carolines(FTP)" => "00:e0:29:3d:bd:84",
"Ninas" => "00:01:03:11:97:3b",
"Bereks" => "00:10:dc:e4:8f:21",
"Rick2" => "00:04:23:1b:a5:b8",
);
// Set this to the location of the perl executable
$perlexec = "/usr/bin/perl";
// Set this to the location of the perl script to execute
$perlscript = "/srv/www/cgi-bin/wakeup.pl";
/***********************************
** The stuff that makes it work **
***********************************/
if ($mac != "")
{
system($perlexec." ".$perlscript." ".$mac);
}
?>
<html>

<title>Berek's WOL front</title>

}
?>
</select>

lease note that when embedding PHP code in a static page, your code should not be enclosed in the PHP tags. Instead, it is assumed that the static page contains the PHP code that would normally go between those two tags.
