Is that a quote or a tic? Seems like it's usually a ` rather than a quote to enclose a table. I might be confused on this. Anyways exactly what I was going to say mastercomputers. Make sure you enclose all your strings with quotes. Usually a single quote is what the database requires, although sometimes it can be different I'm told.

Depends on what you're looking for. If you want to just waste some time and blow some pple into bits, then I recommend quake 3. There are a lot of options in quake 3, and the servers are still pretty lively today. The requirements aren't too high, and it's a great multiplayer game. As far as a single player fps I'd game with quake4, doom3, farcry, halo, or half life 1 or 2. I personally played all of those quite a bit except farcry and half-life2, all the others I have beaten. Most have a decent story and can keep you entertained.Most of those lsited above are probably pretty good for multi player, especially halo. Hope this list helps you.If you decide to go with quake 3 you might also look into the unreal tournament series. You can pick quake 3 up for $10 at wally world. I recommend getting it there rather than off ebay or something. You prob wont' get a valid cd key if you get it from a used vendor.

Nice. I've never played with flat file databases, or modifying files from php in general. I usually use mysql or postgres to store most of my stuff. For menu purposes a flat file seems to be a valuable asset to the system.I was thinking about building a image gallery script. I currently have an image upload script, but I downloaded an image gallery. I like that it creates its own thumbnails and even 50% and 75% versions of the image. I would like to create an image gallery that creates it's own thumbnails.Here's a quick layout of what I want:Database Table -IMGID -IMGURL -THUMBURL -NOTESPHP script - to upload -upload image -create thumbnail of image -write image url, notes, thumbnail url to databasePHP display script -Pull imgs and thumbnails and notes -display 5 per page or so <-any specific way?Any advice on this? I know it doesn't have anything to do with CMS but it could be built into a CMS. Main reason would be displaying an item database of current and available items for sell.

The bundle should have installed mysql with the software. One way of checking is to create a new file, and see if everythings set up in your php.ini settings. Simply put this file in the /www/ directory that your localhost (127.0.0.1) points to. <?phpphpinfo();?> Scroll down through it and see if mysql has a section in there. If so, php is configured. You can also look through your services to see if mysql has been installed on your system. Start->Run->services.msc Scroll through that and see if mysql is running (or look in your processes by using alt+ctrl+delete). After that you're probably in business. It would have asked you for a user name and password for mysql database, just use those when you access it. If you're not very strong in SQL, I would recommend finding a package that has phpMyAdmin with it so you can have a GUI and very friendly environment to work with. Here's a list of other packaged web servers. Taken from http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ If you're wanting to learn sql then I suggest http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/php/ and scroll down to where you see the introductory to databases. There's better resources, but you should be able to understand these tutorials/primers well enough to get the jist of everything. Once you get the hang of it you can try more advanced guides.

I don't know about playing. I doubt it. Battle.net is just the place to play this game. I recommend reading up on strategies and visiting the blizzforums. That's what I did when I was really into it. Avoid playing money maps if you want to really become a serious competitor. Keep practicing and play lots of 1v1 on the lost temple map. Try to be able to be 2 computers. That's a good way to practice Link to blizzforums: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

IP AddressGetting User's IP - Use $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] variable Sessions Sessions seem to have been discussed quite a lot in this forum. Naming A Session - use session_name('sessionName') to name your sessions whatever you want Starting - Basically include session_start() on all of your pages in order to maintain an open session. Reading Session - Use $_SESSION['variableName'] to either set or read your session variables Ending Session - many ways to do it, whatever works for u...example below $_SESSION = array(); // clear the universal variable to make sure if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) { setcookie(session_name('SessionName'), '', time()-42000, ''); } // clobber the cookie if there is one session_destroy(); // purge the session record session_write_close();// not too sure about this <- someone can elaborateThat should do the trick with ending it, or at least it does for me. Take a look at this thread as it has been already discussed in detail here http://forums.xisto.com/topic/88597-topic/?findpost=1064337165

You're right. I didn't notice that it only saved the .html document. I tried downloading an image in a test document and it came up with a javascript error. document.image1.exeCommand(.... Apparently document is the only object that supports that function, and it's only for IE. So even if it worked it would be a bad way to do it. I did a little looking and found this thread https://www.daniweb.com/digital-media/ui-ux-design/threads/39611/clicked-link-countdown There's a PHP solution on post # 24 of the thread. There doesn't seem to be a javascript, or simple solution. Sorry for giving you bad javascript. I didn't test it, I just assumed it was a standard function. Something as simple as 'save as' should be easier to implement. -Good luck

Probably something for parents to give to their kids to make sure they're not doing "something" they shouldn't. Now it if stored the audio locally, that wouldn't be so bad. If it sends the audio somewhere, then that would be a violoation IMO. Wouldn't be hard to fit a webcam or something in that either. watch out for that next. That's what I thought it would be when i first entered the topic.

I still play quake 3 arena. I played the 1.16n release and belong to a clan. (our site - http://www.seektoexplore.com/?dn=dev1ance.net&pid=7POF8BU45&_glst=2&rpid=9POOSXAC5 if you're interested) We're a rail only clan, but lately I've been playing a little bit of everything. I tried 1.32 servers the other day and they're alright. Fun times; great game. I've been playing with the same group of guys for about 2 or 3 years now. Great community and some good games to be had. Glad to meet someone who likes it as much as I do.

Create 2 buttons/images. One for listening, the other for download. Use the javascript below with the download button. For IE 4 + document.execCommand('SaveAs',null,'filename.html')ordocument.execCommand('SaveAs',null,'filename.html') Example code to use in document: <a href="/testmp3.mp3"><img src="/listen.gif" alt="Listen to the mp3!" /></a><a href="#" onclick="document.execCommand('SaveAs')"><img src="/download.gif" alt="Download the mp3!" /></a>I guess that can work. I think you can put an event handler on an anchor tag. Modify it to your liking. Example javascript code came from http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I agree. But for free, what more can you expect. Xisto isn't "free", but it's the next best thing. You offer your time and knowledge and get their services. Xisto is great, and it's hard to compare their services to everyone else. I've had a 100webspace account, and it expired. I used it for development. The limits are somewhat small, and if no one visits your site it's pretty much going to be deleted. Forget "viewing source" to see what you layout looks like. The ads ruin that. Other than that, what more can you expect. For someone learning, it's not bad. Other than that, I suggest staying away from it.Rating 6.5/10. At least it offers php and MySql.

I type fast enough. I took a test here while back and was about 130, but I think that was fake. One of those online things. I would imagine somewhere between 80-110. Depends on what I type. If I'm reading it then it's a little faster. If I'm making it up, obviously it takes time for my brain to complete my thought. @Yordan: 240 is insanely fast. You could be one of those people that sit and type in court. I forget what they're job title is called. Those people can type tho. I had some classes in High School; your basic word processing classes, and an introductory course in college. Other than that I developed speed on my own. I don't make a lot of errors, but I make enough. Depends on what keyboard I'm using. Maybe 1 every half a minute. Lately I haven't typed as much as I use to, so I'm getting a little sloppier.

Amazing that people were still buying the psx or psone. PS2 played ps1 games so, that in itself should've reduced sales way below the costs of the goods. Needless to say, it had a very good run, and with the upcoming launch of the PS3 I guess they to start pumping out those systems. I still have my old playstation 1 around somewhere. I think I bought it when it was 129.99 if I'm not mistaken. I got Resident Eveil 4, Tomb Raider 2, Crash 2, and I think that's it. I'm not much into buying games, but I enjoyed it anyways. Had lots of fun times with the hot shots golf demo that came with it.

A .bat isn't an image file. I make sure I don't open anything that could possibly harm my computer. I don't have much protection, just spyware mostly. I did have AVG installed, but after the format I haven't reinstalled. I guess I need to get something back on there.Don't open .exe's especially, but steer clear of .bat's as well. A friend of mine said soemthing once about embeding a virus inside of an image, but the image file was fairly large. Good thing I haven't encountered a messenger virus yet, I wasn't even aware of them lol.

I'm a CIS major and one of my professors emphasized this a lot. Commenting closing brackets, functions, variables, etc. I think it helped me a lot. Now he hired me as a independent contractor to help develop his software written in php. I found it very useful when dabbling in someone elses' code to have comments. As far as coding myself, I use comments, but not a lot. Tabbing is a must, especially in web development areas. I can't imagine reading a piece of "spaghetti" code now days. Example: /***************************************** function do_something() ***************************************Function to do something ..more details.Accepts 2 arguments to change somethingand enable something 1.)$argument1 : is some kind of flag 2.)$argument2 : displays a menu or somethingThis function returns something as an int***********************************/function do_something($arg1, $arg2){/*Beginning of function do_something--i usually don't add this but helps for if statements and loops...keep it short and to 1 line though*/ here are the contents to do something....}//!End of function do_something The closing bracket helps a lot, and the function information helps a lot if you're modifying someone elses' code. If you're coding for yourself these simple things can help if you plan on revisiting your code. If you're coding within a team you'll have to document pretty much everything. It pays to practice on your own code. I'm still learning but that's my $.02. Oops posted on old topic. Sorry, didn't read the date until after I clicked it. I saw this topic toward the top and assumed it was rather new. Sorry mod's/admin's. Won't happen again, I'll check dates from now on. =/

Well obviously if you blash music into your ear it's going to do some damage. I find it hard to listen to music below, what was it 80% of the max volume. The mp3 player I had (not an ipod) was always maxxed. But my songs bitrate was rather low. It was hard to hear the music, but I do use headphones that sort of filter out other noises. It helps for listening to music while on the computer or gaming.

Paying for safe delivery of email, now I've heard it all. Email should remain free, we pay for internet access and POP and SMTP are just protocols that we are paying for. I liked the gumstix solution above . I'm sure this will be an optional service. Spam however just keeps getting worse and worse. If there's not, there should be a no spam list, such as the do not call list for telemarketers. It's insane, I dont' use my gmail for anything, and never listed it on a forum, but somehow I started getting spam. The same goes for university email. My hotmail and yahoo are boh flooded. The only one that's safe is my walla account. Most of my filters take care of a lot of it, and Gmail does a great job of detecting spam. I know that was off topic but spam gets me going. Anyways thanks for the info, I'll look into it more.

From my understanding. If you need "big" then think "big". Oracle is the way to go if you're a huge company. But for most small-medium sized business, and personal use, the license fees are just too high to be of any use. There are plenty of free/cheap solutions that work very well.I had the privledge of using oracle in one of my college courses. It seemed to be very well-rounded, but I'm not very good at Database Management, and definately not a database administrator, so I couldn't take advantage of all the features it offered.

Quick question on this router. I installed everything fine for windows, but I have a partition on my hard drive for Mandriva (Linux). Just curious if anyone knows if this router is Linux compatible, and if it is, what do I do to go about installing it on linux. Consider this: I am a linux "noobie", so I don't really use it much. I installed this distro to try to learn more about it, and I'm still in the process of learning.

Nintendo went with cartridges after all the research into cds? There has to be some kind of agreement between sony and nintendo there. I mean after all that time they couldn't just up and say, screw it, we'll stick with cartridges. Sony you can have the cd. Then sega joins with sony. I agree that Nintendo would have been better off financially to stick with Sony. They're pretty much the top dog in the console gaming industry. XBox has some good features, and I haven't tried the XBox 360, but I bet it's a competitor. Especially since PS3's launch is delayed until November.I find it ironic that they broke up with a partner that became their rival, but stranger things have happened. Sony knew what they were doing apparently.

Have you tried dreamweaver? I noticed it has a login script. I would imagine that you could just download these as well, from hotscripts or somewhere. HTMLKit has some built in snippets, but I don't know how complex they can get. I would recommend looking into dreamweaver first if you have access to it.

I bought this router. I like it, and everything works fine. The only problem is, don't buy version 5 if you want to add 3rd party firmware. They reduced the ram size or something to 2 mb's. It's not large enough to support the 3rd party firmware. So far it's been pretty good though. It's a decent price, and I got what I expected. Maybe a little more. I appreciate all the advice everyone gave.

FTP them usic up to your site and link to it. I'm not very familiar to the tags of playing music, but I assume your code is correct. I don't know the rules on Xisto, but you're probably not allowed to host .mp3's even if it isn't available to the public. All they would have to do is look at your source and link to that for the download. Most sights don't allow mp3's unless you go through them and show them that it's a legal file. After saying that you downloaded it on limewire, I doubt getting approved. =/ Good luck with it all. Here's what a 10 second google turned up: http://www.developingwebs.net/html/mp3.php Hope this helps.

First thing to do is read what you can. Find lots of primers and tutorials. Go to your local library and check out a few books if you like. If you're in college I'm sure your university's library will have a few. What programming language are you interested in? First of all if you're wanting to do c++ or something like that you'll need a compiler. Some universities offer free software to their students such as MS visual studio or something like that. You can check into that or just download one off the net. Java has a free one I believe. If you're wanting to program in php and javascript you can use Xisto as a place to upload and test your files.Read all the posts that have topics related to starting out, or beginners and programming and I'm sure you'll find a lot more resources.First thing you really need to know is what programming language do you want to learn, and what exactly do you want to make? Do you just want to learn programming, or do you have a goal (some type of programming) that you wish to achieve?
