editpage error

hi,
I just added some code to the MonoBook.php.

function updateBox() {
?>
<div id="p-update" class="portlet">
<h5><label for="updateInput"><?php $this->msg('update') ?></label></h5>
<div id="updateBody" class="pBody">
<form action="..\includes\update\update.php" method="post"
id="updateform"><div>
<input type='submit' name="update" class="updatehButton"
id="updateButton" value="<?php $this->msg('dataupdate') ?>" />
</div></form>
</div>
</div>
<?php
}

This can add a button to the sidebar,but when i clicked the button,it can't
link to the update.php. It shows error instead"You can not access the
specified web page!".
update.php
just has the content of
<?php

echo "hello";

Why do these things happen? If I want to do the right thing that when I
click the button then there'll link to the page that has the same page
performance as wiki.

What should I do?

Hlep me !

Thanks a lot.

vanessa lee

Being for the sidebar, it won't be. The .. is very likely wrong (path is
relative to the entry point). And using tiny urls, it will break with
articles like [[Foo/bar]].
Use $wgScriptPath/includes/update/update.php Or better yet,
$wgScriptPath/extensions/update/update.php instead of touching includes
folder.

Re: editpage error [In reply to]

If I verify the "..\includes\update\update.php" to
"$wgScriptPath/extensions/update/update.php"
and move update file to extensions.The address bar will show that
http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php/$wgScriptPath/extensions/update/update.php

I don't think this is right.

I don't get the context here, but do not use backslashes in paths.
All remotely recent versions of Windows (certainly Windows XP) will
accept a forward slash in path names as equivalent to a backslash. On
the other hand, backslashes not only don't work on Unix-likes, they
also require escaping in string literals for Windows.

Backslashes are twice bad, because sometimes larger pathes are produced
by concatenation of shorted "subpathes", and when one shorter subpath
uses slashes and another one backslashes, the concatenated path is
invalid even in Windows. For example, some MediaWiki extension failed in
Windows because it used slashes and dirname() or getcwd() returned
backslashes.
That's why my extension uses:
str_replace( "\\", "/", dirname(__FILE__) )

That's not my experience. I have been using PHP for quite some time on both
Linux and Windows, and will often use something like

include(dirname(__FILE__) . "/../foo.php");

The path on a Windows box may therefore end up as something like:

C:\some path\to\script/../foo.php

but this mixture of path separators has always worked fine for me, and
others[1]. (Mixing separators won't work on *nix boxes of course, but
that's not a problem in this case as dirname() returns paths in the local
format). The trick is to always use forward slashes, and it should work
fine on all systems, even if it displays a bit funny in some situations.

The point about having to double-escape is true though.

You're outside the PHP section, so $wgScriptPath isn't being replaced.

You would do something like:
<form action="<?php echo "$wgScriptPath/extensions/update/update.php";
?>" method="post" id="updateform">

and move update.php to a folder called update on extension folder.
