  1. of course i query first the $sql variable with mysql_query($sql).. anyway just a follow up question.. what function parameters shoudl i pass to mysql_num_rows() to be able to get the row count of let say for example WHERE sex = 'male'.. something like that.. what i realy need is not all the row count of a single table but certain rows that contains certain data...
  2. hi..i'm new in php and mysql... here is my problem....$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM messages WHERE _parent={$row['_id']}";after sending the query above i dont know how to fetch the actual rows counted..i tried using the mysql_fetch_array() and mysql_fetch_row() function but it didnt work...actually the only function i know that fetches results from sql queries is mysql_fetch_array()...so what function or code i need to have the result from the query which uses COUNT?
  3. hey.. i found this image of a character in the series Samurai X.... his name is Aoshi... can anyone create a sig out of him... not for me... I mean i just want to see this guy on a sig here is the image
  4. realy...but there are only few games in ps2 and xbox that i am interested... pc games are still more interactive than this kind of game modules and pc games grpix are great
  5. nahh.. im not giong to buy ps2. game is not my priority and the unit is expensive. i guess i have to stick with pc games
  6. Ive read thread about emulators. It mentioned there PS2 Emulator.So here is my question, when you use this emulator are you going to buy the DVD game or not?Is it like playing PS2 too or not? I mean is the quality good?I don't have a PS2 unit and don't have plan in buying one. But if PS2 emulator are good then I might buy PS2 games and play it in my computer
  7. its easy to track person specialy with mobile phones. In mobile phone technology, a city for example is divided into cells (thats why they call it cell phones). The center of these cells are the base station or what we call cell site. Everytime you step into a cell your mobile phone is acquired and own by that cell and as you move along and transfer from cell to cell within the city so is the ownership of your signal. So the idea is to locate which cell you belong and they then use other devices to triangulate your signal so they will know where you at exactly.The best part is, when a cell, for example 5 kilometers in raduis is overwhelmed by many users or subscribers it is divided into smaller cell let say 1 km in raduis or even less.

    Usb Ports?

    actualy there are two type of usb ports.. the small one and the big one. the small one are found in digital cameras and digital video cam. The big one is of course in computers such as laptops. But, i havent seen or heard that laptops uses the small port. I believe there is no firewore mouse yet available since it would be just a waste of resources coz this port are very high speed and it will be useless to just put a mouse on it.so it seems that the laptop only has the small usb ports that is found in digital cameras. thats weird. i guess you have to make do with the small mouse
  9. I am just wondering if someone in this community have read the short story of Antoine De Sain-Exupery titled The Litle Prince.
  10. What will be the purpose that you are going to buy a cellphone?Of course phones are for calling but if you want to have one which works like a PDA or simply to have a communication tool. This matters becuase cellphones nowadays are not only for calling but have evolved into something new. There is a cellphone that is an mp3 palyer others play video. Features that you want matters in buying cellphones. But I recomend nokia since its just like windows, menus are very easy to navigate
  11. hi.. i have this website which is of course hosted by Xisto, anyway its services includes public message board, group message board and personal messages. This website is actually for online gaming. The goal is to have a place where online gamers can communicate. They can trade items or sale items or things like that. Guilds or Clans can also create a group message board that only group members can read or post messages. I designed the layout using css. Its actualy my frist time using css for layouting becuase i always use tables. for the website I created this banner which is my sig here in Xisto. This sig/banner is one of the only 2 banner/sig i ever created, the first one is a crap so i didnt use it. So what I need your skill and artistry for is if you are kind enough to create a banner for my website. Although I like my own creation but maybe those gurus out there can provide me a better banner free of charge and also you can say your critic to the site, although the only thing available is the front page only becuase I am still in the process of testing my PHP functions that handles database processess and request. The site might be working fully 3 days from now. So.. here is the address.... Saga
  12. If I can create my own utility software, if I can create my own reminder software or things like that with C++ or Visual Basic then there is no reason for me buy those things from companies who already have millions. If I can crack software and remove disk protection from games which I did not a long time ago, why bother waste money.besides, software company has nothing to do with viruses, not all realy becuase anti-spyware and anti-adware software company sometimes infect your computer with this spywares and adwares and trick you to buying their product, it happened to me, anyway going back to the topic. Even if sofware creation are left to companies as long as there is an available Assembler and Dissassembler software anyone with enough knowledge can create viruses. YOu dont need powerful programming language to create viruses. All you need is the two software mentioned and the knowledge in assembly programming. As the saying goes, what can be created can be destroyed. The assembled can be disassmeble.
  13. This things happens. It is becuase of how we look in front of them. My experience was this sales clerk didnt pay much attention to me when I said I want to order a customize laptop worth $2300 for my friend. It maybe becuase I was just wearing a chuck tailor, a white shirt, pants and a back pack. So what I did was bring my friend who looks more mature than me, but still I did all the talking and the clerk pay little attention to me. The problem is my friend knows very little about this things so it took us almost 30 minutes to figure out what kind of setup the laptop will be. People most of the time judge us of how we look.
  14. Cool.. I like the text render..this one is not just my one and only sig, it is also be the banner for my webpage :Dbut i havent used it yet since my site is underconstruction...
  15. There is no realy such a thing as CD copy protection. All technology and algorthm applied in the market are not realy protectin but simply fooling software or OS that reads the disk. All of them are just software which could be easily fooled by cracking its source code.The only way for CD protection to work is for manufacturer of CD ROM to support such technology. But all CDROM today simply read CD whether it has copyright or not. If for example a CD Burner does not allow burning or copying of CD or even software that has copyright, then perhaps your CD or software can not be distributed illegaly but of course no one will buy such a CD burner
  16. for lots of reason i am not using Wysiwyg editor. So im stuck in text based editor like notepad
  17. yeah you should used 'localhost' if the mysql you are connecting is not in some other server in the web but in your webhost server. if your are using mysql in Xisto webhosting use 'localhost' as server, your cpanel name as user and your cpanel password as password. That should work.
  18. the simples solution to your problem is for you not to be afraid, im not talking about the girl, im talking about your friend. Don't be afraid of what might he say to you or do to you.Is it becuase he loves her you dont have any right too to be with her? Is it becuase he loves her that you must not love her too? Go confront him and tell him that you like the girl and you want to be with her, date her or something and tell him may the best man wins. If he can't handle it then nevermind him. His not a real friend at all for acting stupid.And don't worry about your friends, you could find another friends and besides you wont die without your friends. And about the girl and your competition with your so called friend, dont worry about it too coz im sure your friend has no chance in her. Right now i think the girl is feeling annoyed of having a stalker or a tail. by the way dont formally court the girl. Just have date with her as many times as possible.
  19. tnx for the code, its a great help... coz i dont have the time and resources to study the use of PHP in generating images..tanx...
  20. the ultimate goal of a human life is to survive as long as it is take. Every cell and muscle in our body are consuming energy so that we may live.we created our dreams and goals to keep us moving. To give us reason to continue living and surviving. To give us hope and differentiate ourselves from the animals that we consider without soul. To boost our morals we give ourselves pleasures and satisfactions. We reward ourselves with dignity and pride and when we fail we punished ourselves with shame and isolation.Humans realy can not be completely satisfied, coz if we are to be completely satisfied then we will lost the motive and the reason to live. OUr purpose will be lost and our existence will have no reason.Afraid of having no purpose after filling our satisfactions, we embraced greed to keep us going. And in the process we murder, rape and exploit the weak. And in greed we found a new inspiration. We found our motivation, but unlike the motivation of simply satisfying ourselves, this time we could go on forever as long as we live. We love it, becuase we know in greed there is no satisfaction. Only few were successfull, they became immortal, they are those who are written in our history.But the totality of it all, we will all perish and most of us will be forgotten as if we never existed at all. Not a whisper, not a thought of our name. Having said all that, I have no goal, my only purpose is to live life the way I know how. To experience it pain, suffering, sadness and a few joy and smiles. To experience falling in love and to experience falling out of love. To cry and laugh, to be alone and to be with someone. To put it simply, to live life. So that when I die, I may have no millions or maybe not successfull, I would be smile and say to myself, I have expereinced the many aspects of life. I have not let my goals and desires stray me away from experiencing what realy life is. Which is simply to live and experience every moment of it.
  21. you need to have a text editor that displays line number, I used EditPlus 2, its cool since it support PHP codes which mean different colors on globals, variables and functions, anyway, what you do is to have the same exact copy of the php in your website and the editor so when errors appear, you could simply locate it in the editor and then correct the error in the editor then upload the corrected file to your server. you could either use ftp or simply the upload feature in the filemanager.
  22. here is the code that realy works for me and im assuming for everybody too of course..mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password');mysql_select_db('database');so the error is you put 2 arguments to the function mysql_select_db()when it only need one..its a better idea too to use single qoutation mark to speed up compiling
  23. wow $100,000 :ph34r:but to find or to come up with 10 million or more digits of prime number you need to have a computing power that cost $1 million or more..
  24. hi everbody,I am creating this website for an online game KHAN which is of course hosted by Xisto.com. Anyway, it accepts membership since its services includes message board for every member and message board for groups that members created and of course personal messages.So here is my problem, since it accepts membership it requires applicants to fill up forms which ask their e-mail address, I want to know how make an activation code that is an image. Get my point? :ph34r:it is basically like here in Xisto where before you could click register or submit during registration you need to copy the numbers and letters in an image to a text box. I need this to avoid automated registration which can use up all my 150mb disk space or worst used my registration to annoy other people by using their e-mail add in the registration form.actualy I was thinking of creating hundreds or more images with numbers and letters on it. Everytime there is need to send the registration form to a browser i will pick 1 image randomly then change its filename randomly and put it in the registration form. In that case images will not use the same filename everytime it is used. But creating all those images (more thatn 100) is more than a headache. Thats why I'm hoping that someone could share to me how this kind of problem realy are taken care of.Thanks in advance
  25. its not bad to turn on your computer 24/7 as long as it has proper fan system. I mean, your cpu of course must have a fan and besides cpu fan our casing too. If it has no fan leave it open then :ph34r:i dont think that electric bill is an issue since computer realy does not eath a lot of power, but if you connect an amplifier and a big speaker thats a different story..so its not bad leaving your computer on 24/7
