    I, personally, have learnt C first.To be honest, I have never learnt any programming language "properly" like in school or anything, only by online tutorials and other code.Here's my languages in the order I learnt them:C ---> C++ ---> PHP ---> JavaC++ is pratically the same as C, there's just the addition of more strict typing, a new comment type (which was added to C after C++ came (the // type)), OOP and built-in memory allocation functions (new and delete statements).

    <?phpini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);ini_set('display_errors', 1);header('Content-Type: image/png');$im = @imagecreate(250, 13) or die('Cannot Initialize GD Image');imageantialias($im, TRUE);$back = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);imagefill($im, 0, 0, $back);$text = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);imagestring($im, 2, 0, 0, ''.$_REQUEST['s'], $text);imagecolortransparent($im, $back);imagepng($im);imagedestroy($im);?>

    Request it with something like: http://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=asdasf&e=com

     

    If you are using Xisto, you can replace every occurance of png with gif as it is using PHP 4.3.9 which supports GIF.

    My ISP doesn't, so thats why it has PNG.

    A live demo is at

    I have chose to use the pixel-like font which is the best looking out of the built-in ones.

    I reccomend Photobucket - photobucket.com, it's pretty good, and it allows you to Upload multiple files at one ( 6 I think), and best of all it's free, and also it's easy to use and easy to access the pictures that you want, which is pretty good. I really, like it becaue, also the Control Panel, has a vlean look, layout, and the Photobucket site is fast, and loads quickly.

    I would also recommend photobucket.

    It has these advantages:

    - Can keep original file name instead of getting 3de42op3.jpg

    - Can organise pictures into folders

    - High maximum file size

    - No "branding" or ads, etc.

    I'm not the best web designer in the world, so this tutorial isnât going to be great. But if youâre baffled heres some short tips that might help.

     

    Colors

     

    I always thought that the main color of your site had a big influence on the visitor. Like each color has its separate emotion. If your website is all black it could hint that your hiding something. It also tends to looks slightly amateur. But on the other hand, if youâre trying to appeal in a younger audience and your selling something you want to look "cool", then black might be a better option. I usually have about 3 or 4 different colors, usually within a shade.

     

    Organization

     

    Things should be easy to find. Navigation should never be confusing. Try to make sure the labels youâre put on your links are direct or to-the-point as possible. I personally like things small. To me itâs easier to see, ironically enough, and get around. 

     

    Headers, or Labels

     

    I always state what the user is reading or looking at boldly at the top of the page. Its not that I'm assuming they forgot what the topic was, it might just have a reassurance factor.

    Thats all I've got for now, hope it helps.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>


    I like to use shades of off-white blue, my eyes really like blue.

    Sometimes a a light gradient header strip won't hurt (like the one on this forum where it says Latest Shouts In The Shoutbox -- View The Xisto Shout!)

     

    An excellent combination for producing a good website is using Adobe Photoshop and Image Ready.

     

    For N00bs:

     

    Adobe Photoshop- Excellent for the designing the graphics your site layout.

     

    Adobe Image Ready- Good for slicing the design you creating using photoshop and exporting it to be a xhtml compatible page with image slices.

     

    For more information visit: Adobe and possibly download a trial version of these software if you hav't got them already.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Also,

    Adobe Photoshop- Excellent, but very expensive, program for the designing the graphics your site layout.

     

    Adobe Image Ready- Good for slicing the design you creating using photoshop and exporting it to be a xhtml compatible page with image slices. Same except it comes free (or should I say is included in the cost) of Adobe Photoshop

    RAM Usage
    Compare 4 IE Windows to 4 FireFox tabs. Notice how FireFox is the leader when you make it a fair test?

    Starts Slow
    Check out the unofficial optimised builds for Windows from MOOX:
    http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
    They run a heap faster than the official FireFox, which is alredy fast anyway.

    Using GetRight
    Activate Clipboard URL catching or whatever the name of that setting is in GetRight, then right click the download link in FireFox and click Copy Link Location.
    Now, you should get a GetRight Save As window after you click Copy Link Location.

    User Interface
    Explain how MSIEs interface is superior to FireFox.
    I'm actully really fond of FireFox's UI, especially the tabs.

    Hopefully, I got you's anti-{the worlds best browser (FireFox)} users to switch back to {the worlds best browser (FireFox)}.

    OK, I don't need the brand/mode/etc. here.Now, I'm not sure of what port/s POP3 run on, so I'll give you an example for SMTP.Enter the same thing for both Public and Private ports. (In the case of SMTP, 25).The port type is TCP in the case of SMTP, POP3 and HTTP (WWW) and usually is.For private IP, you'll have to enter the LAN IP address of the computer your running the daemons (servers) on.And, obviously, you check Enabled. ^_^Hope that helps.

    To get a host name (something like xxx.70.233.220.exetel.com.au) run the IP address through gethostbyaddr($ip).

    Like jipman said the IP address is accessible through $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].

     

    To get their contury, there's an API here:

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/geoip/

    I never used it myself, but I've seen it in use on mySQL.com and it works for me.

    It has APIs for a wide variety of languages.

     

    Hope that helps.

    I actually think Perl is quite slow and is very hard to learn as it has a strange syntax that is similar to no other scripting or programming languages.If you know and are familar with PHP, ASP, etc. I suggest you don't learn Perl as you'll find it very hard to catch on.That's what happened to me ^_^ .

    Hmm... Good question. First I must sy my kriterions of FTP. The Good FTP man must be:

    1. Fast

    2. Easy to use

    3. Rich with opportunities

    4. Have autoconnect, disconnect and other good tools

    5. Must have plugins

    6. Must have good formed logs.

     

    I thing really good ftp man is FAR and FTPcute managers, in the Linux konqueror :D.

     

    Have a nice life ^_^

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>


    I know quite a few that fit that quota:

     

    - FileZilla

    - CuteFTP

    - Konqueror

    - That GNOME browser (Nautalis I think...)

    - Good old GNU command line ftp (has the basic commands :P )

    Well, to me, it seems like this is very complex.I think you'll need to know something about interrupts.And, also learn how hardware signals are formatted.I would recommend that you look on the net for a tutorial about interrups in C++ before you start.I think interrupts are really complicated.The tutorial, I think, will be specific to a particular platform, so be careful.
