Yes, files with other extensions (and no extensions) are hidden.
Is this because of the FTP program? Or because of the server?

Gin

Its because of the server, however i always see this hidden files with my ftp client.

Php have a lot of fuctions that works with image formats, including gif, png, jpg, wbmp, and xpm and by using the GD Library you can be able to create and manipulate images. Also you can enhance the GD library to deal with fonts.

 

Take a look to the PHP Image Functions for more information.

thannks NIran, great help. But please let me know how to make the TOP image Click able. Like I have a map and on that map i want to put one of this PIN http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com/templates/map-pin1.GIF and i want this PIN to be Clickable. Please guide and give some idea how to get it done Dynamically through PHP ?

 

Well for example if you have a table that store some attributes of any image like its filename, URL, Xposition, Yposition, width and height and by a html form someone selects an image you only need something like this code:

<?php// the id of the selected image$id=$_POST["id"];  // database settings and connectioninclude("db.php");// data selection$query="select * from ImageTable where id=$id";$rs = mysql_query($query) or die("Erro No: ".mysql_errno() . "<br />Description: " . mysql_error());$row=mysql_fetch_array($rs);?><!-- Image display --><div style="top:10px; left:10px; z-index:1; position:absolute"> <!--Bottom layer --><img src="BottomImagesource.jpg" width="" height="" /> <!-- Image to be displayed bottom --></div><div style="top:<?php echo $row["Xposition"]; ?>; left:<?php echo $row["Yposition"]; ?>; z-index:2; position:absolute"> <!--Top layer --><a href="<?php echo $row["URL"]; ?>"> <!-- Url for the top Image --><img src="<?php echo $row["filename"]; ?>" width="<?php echo $row["width"]; ?>" height="<?php echo $row["height"]; ?>" /> <!-- Image to be displayed on top --></a></div>

Also note that its not necesary to store the width and height of the image because you can obtain it directly with the get_imagesize() function.

What ftp software do u use? im dying to find out which is best.

I use CuteFtp, it's very complete but sometimes -especially with big files- looses the connection, right now i'm testing a new one called FreshFtp 3.40, is very quick and also it is free take a look at: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

It supports multithreading for simultaneous transfer, file and directory upload, resume, and more. This software is 100% free, no charge, no spyware.

Best regards,

I had access to my server yesterday around 7 or so, and while I was connected and creating ftp accounts it went back down. I'm just curious what's up. Last time I had an account here, once I populated the server with some files everything went over better, but how do I do that with the server being down?

I know this is a little off topic, but since it is sorta in this topic, what's the difference in addslashes() and mysql_real_escape_string()

the addslashes() function simply escapes with a backslash the single quote ('), double quote ("), backslash (\) and NUL (the NULL byte) and runs automatically on all GET, POST, and COOKIE data when the PHP directive magic_quotes_gpc is on -by default is on- not only with queries.

By the other hand, mysql_real_escape_strings escapes the following characters: \x00, \n, \r, \, ', " and \x1a, another difference is that this function takes into account the current character set of the connection if it is supported by the database. As i read a time ago this function must be use if binary data is to be inserted to the database.

Best regards,

I don't know anything about your problem, but I just visited your site and you haven't put anything up. Or maybe you have, but the old index.html is still up.
You really don't have to worry about little bugs in service until you've got something up

Thanks for visiting my site and sorry for not posting that my problem was corrected

BTW, i forgot to change the old index.html basically because i use my site for testing my work, i wanna do this soon and yes, you are right i have some content, check this:
Trivia Online
Inti Voyage

Best regards,

Simply add AND to your qUery string like this:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table_products WHERE (cat='" . mysql_real_escape_string($specific_value) . "' AND sub_cat='fittings' ");

Now, if you want a more general functionality, for example, when the values you want to qUery comes from a submited form you can do this:

<?php$specific_value1=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['cat']);$specific_value2=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['sub_cat']);$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table_products WHERE (cat='$specific_value1' AND sub_cat='$specific_value2')")  or die(mysql_error());while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {	echo $row['desc'] . ' ' . $row[other] . '<br />';}?>

You must use the mysql_real_escape_string function to avoid sql injection attacks, to escape the following characters: \x00, \n, \r, \, ', " and \x1a and to guarantee that the data is safe before you send your query.

Best regards,

And what is the syntax for putting a background image property in a css sheet ?

 

The syntax to putting a background image property in a css sheet is:

background-image: url('full_or_relative_url_of_the_image');

Take in mind that this is the most simple syntax to put an image as a background, the full syntax covers:

background-attachment

background-color

background-image

background-position

background-repeat

BTW, the 'background' property is a shorthand property for setting the individual background properties at the same time ('background-color', 'background-image', 'background-repeat', 'background-attachment' and 'background-position').

 

Take a look to the official CCS2 specification at: Offical W3C CCS2 Specification

 

Best regards,

Yeah, I'm with Grafitti on this one. Does the computer power on at all though? If you hear the fan spinning at least, then there's power coming from the power supply. The motherboard might need to be replaced.
Can you hear the hard drive spinning also? Open up the side case to be sure. If it is spinning, I recommend trying another video card on this computer and see if that could be the problem instead of the motherboard.

Yes, the power is ok, and i hear the fan spinning and also the hard drive, so the last option is to verify the video card but i'm almost sure that the problem is with the motherboard as you and Grafitti says.

Thanks a lot,

Do you by any chance know the BIOS manufacturer name? Or maybe the exact model of your motherboard? It might help us narrow down on what BIOS manufacturer you have there.

 

Otherwise, take a look at http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml and see if you can figure out which one is the cause of the problem.

 

It seems likely to be a power supply or system board issue according to the site (look at the first table there in the site).

 

Thanks for the site link very useful, now, I'm not 100% sure but i think that the bios manufacter is AMI and the exact model of the motherboard is K7S41GX. I just visit the ASRock website and found some info about this, according to this info the problem is with the Base 64K memory, tell me something this Base memory refers to the RAM memory or refers to other memory???

 

Best regards,

I just see the problem with your code, simple replace the ',' with a ';' like this:

len=urls_array.length;for ( var i=0;  i<len; ++i )

And also i suggest to complete your script tag.

ASRock Motherboard

AMD Processor

40GB Hard Disk

256 MB RAM DDR

Well as everybody know in these forums people posts a lot of code snippets that could be organized in a simple page or whatever, my question is if someone is interested to do it or if exists something like that here at Xisto.I think it would be very helpful for everybody as well to keep things more organized.Best regards,

Very simple layouts, if you want to do quick and dirty things.I would like to know if it's easy to slightly change them, for instance adding a picture in the header. Because, unfortunately, I'm not like these guys "who can type CSS pretty fast along with HTML".

As i say, its very simple and yes, you can change the layouts very easy, if you want to add a image or picture in the header simply add an img tag in the html div header tag like this:

<div id="header"><img src="logo.jpg"></div>

Best regards,

In this site you can find some excellent CSS layouts and code snipets, its very simple but more important its very EFFECTIVE.

Took me a couple of minutes and a little search over here to understand your problem. Javascript is a case conscious language, and so you have to write "readOnly" instead of "readonly". A very simple find and replace should solve your problem!
