Stepping through a script line by line

[md202000]

 Is there a debugger or another way to step through a script that I'm updating?

I notice that several scripts are not working.  Nothing is being displayed when I know the tors are out there.  The two that I checked were torrent-damage and elbitz.   I took a look at the scripts and saw what I believe is the problem.

if you need any help getting the script debugger enabled, or help with it..  dont hesitate to ask.


also, please make sure you notify us if you have repaired a non-working script! we all will thank you for your efforts (not to mention unlock your account)!

Well, better late than never - Yes indeed Chip, Mad Dog was on my mind when I came up with it.  Due to the high alcohol content (not for the taste ....) , it was the drink of choice back in high school.   

I picked-up the Torrent-Damage script again - I noticed it was de-activated as "site no longer exists".  Actually, they had some registration issues for five days a last month.  Once that was all worked out, they came back online.

However, they have recently changed their page flow - the current script no longer works (even after being activated). 

That's my project for tonight...

I'll keep you all up-to-date.

Thanks

Let us know if you need any help.
I took a quick took, and it's a subscription site so you would need to provide either account info or an invite.

To start you will need to strip some of the removed tags from the script.
Here's the fixed beginning to the script:

Code: [Select]

[script]
modified=12/15/2009
name=Torrent-Damage.net
home=http://www.torrent-damage.net/
author=Bovski
pwd=1
login=http://www.torrent-damage.net/takelogin.php
form=username=%USER%&password=%PASS%
failed=<form method="post" action="takelogin.php">
failed2=/login.php?return
main=http://www.torrent-damage.net/browse.php?incldead=0&query=%SEARCH%&cat=0

[code][/code]

Thanks,

Here's what I found so far,

Based on my very green review, they made 3 changes that I needed to account for:

1.  Changed .../takelogin.php to  .../login.php
2.  Changed .../browse.php   to  .../torrents.php
3.  Reduced the parameters in the search string.   

I made the changes to the script as follows (not sure how to add as snippet)

code:

name=Torrent-Damage.net
home=http://www.torrent-damage.net/
author=Bovski
pwd=1
login=http://www.torrent-damage.net/login.php
form=username=%USER%&password=%PASS%
failed=<form action="login.php"  method="post" >
failed2=/login.php?return
main=http://www.torrent-damage.net/torrents.php?searchstr=%SEARCH%

However, the above code won't authenticate or login to the site.   So, I'm still looking into it.

When debuging, I get the following:

Script: Torrent-Damage.net  --  On Line: [ 1 / 34 ]

Last Executed:   

Next To Execute:   d=replace(d,</tr><tr><td style,<td style)

Forthcoming:   d=replace(d,<tr>,</tr><tr>)

And thats all - it doesn't make it to the "code" routine.
