Hi, I recently came by this tutorial and it’s just what I’ve been lookin for – really nice! I have but one problem though:

I get the following error:
Undefined variable: classes in C:\wamp\www\RatingSystem\classes\rating.class.php on line 158

The stars show up fine, I click the selected range and then the error message shows and I get numbers listed vertically (1 to 5). After a browser refresh the stars reappear with the correct star selection.
The database is being written to successfully.

Any help greatly received.

Hey,
So I’m back to offer what little help I can.

co.ador – that file goes in your main web directory. Also if its not going into the database, make sure your database settings are 100% and if you changed the name of the table you changed it in the rating.class.php file where directed to by this tutorial.

Sadesh – The split problem is easy, just go to php.net and search for split and it tells you the tag you should now use instead. (I believe preg_split is what should be used now). The other errors are because you have must have your database settings wrong. In the include all file you should have this line set to your database settings:
Database::Initialize(“mysql”, “localhost”, “3306″, “DATABASE NAME”, “USERNAME”, “PASSWORD”);
If your mysql settings are default then you shouldn’t have to change the first three items just the last three. Also like I said to co.ador, if you changed the table name from ratings make sure you adjust it as necessary.

Nicholas Smith – This script should work fine with php 4.3x. I can’t say for sure, because I do use 5.x but you should be good as long as your database is setup.

Yolandie – Sorry, but its not that easy to just explain what you need to do. You will need some basic knowledge to handle the php and mysql. Try reading a php/mysql tutorial, I suggest webmonkey (http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/php_and_mysql_tutorial_-_lesson_1/). That is a more updated tutorial but I started out with a similar tutorial on webmonkey.

Hello everyone! I have no experience with php, ajax, jquerie and only use dreamweaver to write my html, css code and very basic javascript. Part 1 was so easy, but i’m not sure where to go from here as i don’t have and don’t know how to use php5 or MySQL as a prerequisite for part II of this tut to complete the backend.

Can someone please please please help me out over here?

Hello, your script is a blessing. Would you be willing to tell me how to use it with php 4.3.11 I have yahoo hosting and they will not upgrade for another year. Or will this work either way?

Hello!

I get this error message, I think it has something to do with me using php 5.x and some functions in this script that are not supported in this version\

Can somebody fill me in why I get the following error message after implementing?

Also, just a late response to co.ador and Marc Morgan. I was having a similar problem and it was because I didn’t have all of the files uploaded (mainly the ajax.rate.item.php) file.

Looks like there isn’t any help here anymore, but I figured I would try. I am using this script and it works wonderfully. The one question I have is how can I add another item into the database. I have a members section to my site and people can only rate when they are logged in. I want to add the username to the database and have it input the name whenever an item is rated so I know who is rating what.

Thank you for this tutorial and any help.

something similar is happening to me The “rated” is not showing the nostar row before any user has rated the item… how can pull the format information out the rated css class?

Would there be a reason that this would work “out of the box” with “rating-example.php” but not when i try and use it with a different file to address the rating system.????

The on mouse roll over works but when i click, nothing happens…

All of the paths are set correctly.

Any ideas?

Thank you

I know I am going to fast but just answer the question at your pace, I have another query in step five you said to observe this line
1.Database::Initialize(“mysql”, “localhost”, “3306″, “ratings”, “username”, “password”);

And then replace it with my database respective name, username, password.

I don’t know where is my database and how can I create one, what is it for and where can I find the name, username and password to replace if the database is created already.

Thank you in advance and excuseme for asking so many question behind the other both of your work your and paul’s are awsome.

Another query is that you wrote the class Rating with capital letters and worte it with lowercase letter does it make a difference?
