    Hi there, your problem is caused by the title tag in your main news page, simply replace with </title> your close tag. <html><head><title>JoVolKa Unofficial News</title><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../style.css" /></head><body>... Best regards,

    Thanks for the share, is a nice tool. Very simple and effective, so i just add it to my arsenal of tools. In relation to url2jpeg, i try it too but definitely i prefer url2bmp, because the last one includes the same functionality and its free. best regards,

    Wow, this is really very cool and demostrates the power of the mix of HTML, CSS and Javascript, i just try it with IE 6 and it shows an alert window because, Internet Explorer, doesn't understand these basic concepts correctly and does not render PNGs correctly. So, i open it with Firefox and works and looks very fine, but i think it has an error, because the default background image shows incomplete.Best regards,

    Yes, beginners MUST learn first HTML, it would help in many ways, especially when you work with software like FRONTPAGE, DREAMWEAVER and alike, that include a lot of extra and unnecessary HTML code, now, with the use of templates you can achieve easily and quickly very good results but always you must edit your HTML code, and sometimes this templates are a bit difficult to edit. BTW, i still use my text editor -editplus- to make quick changes to my work. Best regards,

    Ferant DHTML Studio Lite is a free browser-based wizard that may be used to create DHTML windows or pop-us in 3 easy steps: Choose a template. Customize properties and methods. Copy some javascript code and some images if needed. It's written in Javascript and the scripts are compatible with most browsers, including Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, and Opera, so you only need a browser to run it It offers twelve different templates with 79 customizable properties, such as dragging ability, resizability, colors, and fonts. Unfortunately this software is a bit older and seems like the creator simply disappear because i don't find any update available and it's website simply redirecting to another website. You can download from here Best regards,

    Hi, i just visit this website and its very cool and complete, thanks for share with us. best regards,

    Yes, it is possible to do, the only thing to care about is that you must set write priviligies to this folder with CHMOD 777. To add new news to your table you only need a page with a FORM with a TEXTAREA field for the news and other page to process the submited data. FormNews.htm:Page with the form, i only put the form elements <form action="addnews.php" method="post">News: <textarea rows="3" name="news" cols="100"></textarea><br /><br /><input name="cmdAdd" type="submit" value="Add News" /></form> addnews.php:Page that process the submited data to insert into the database.<?phpfunction safeEscapeString($string){ if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { return $string; } else { return mysql_real_escape_string($string); // return mysqli_real_escape_string($string); }}include ("connectdb.php"); // connect and select your database$news=safeEscapeString($_POST["news"]);mysql_query("insert into news(news) values ('$news')") or die (mysql_errno(). ": " . mysql_error() );mysql_close();Header("Location: FormNews.htm");exit();?>In your news.php your select statement include the LIMIT clause like this:<?phpinclude ("connectdb.php"); // connect and select your database$query_rsNews = "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 20";$rsNews = mysql_query($query_rsNews) or die(mysql_error());while($row_rsNews = mysql_fetch_array($rsNews)) { echo $row_rsNews["id"] . $row_rsNews["news"];}?>For moderators will be the same thing. Best regards,

    Another way to do this is by setting the image width and height as 100 percent inside the <img> tag. The browser then resizes the image according to the window's size, and with Javascript by using document.body.clientWidth and document.body.clientHeight that returns the width and height of the active window, and one function for the On_Load event which sets the image width and height and other to the onresize event which refresh the page. BTW, i dont test this with Firefox but i guess it will work. Best regards,

    Hi I use the following code to resize images of any size to the size that i need.<?php//$width: image width//$height: image height//$target: target image width or heightfunction imageResize($width, $height, $target) {if ($width > $height) { $percentage = ($target / $width);} else { $percentage = ($target / $height);}$width = round($width * $percentage);$height = round($height * $percentage);return " width=\"$width\" height=\"$height\"";}// source image$photo="images/anyphoto.jpg";// populate attributes obtained from the image $PropImg = array(0,0,0,"");$PropImg = GetImageSize($photo);if (isset($PropImg[0])) $nW = $PropImg[0];else $nW = 100;if (isset($PropImg[1])) $nH = $PropImg[1];else $nH = 100;// generate html img tag$Img="<img border='0' hspace='3' align='left'";$Img.=" src=\"" . $photo . "\"" . imageResize($nW,$nH, 220) . ">";// show the imgecho $Img;?> Very simple but function very well Best regards,

    You are right, and that happens with a lot of functions in the Php Manual. BTW, i read that post too and i finish very disapointed Excellent info, very useful especially this last paragraph. I have a question, how and where i use the Reply-to function??? best regards,
  12. TavoxPeru
    I dont know if via HTTP Headers you can do it, i think that a simple way will be by using an array with all the titles of the web pages that you need or may be by using a template engine. best regards,

BTW, dont forget to visit frecuently this forum you will find a lot of good examples and many people that can help you . Best regards,

    Well, after some days i return to this script -i'm very busy with a lot of work- so, i just upload the new version, it works but i have some trouble with the 20s time counter, the problem is that the form.submit() function doesnt work when the time is over. Here's the problematic code: $formoutput = "<form name=\"form\" method=\"POST\" action=\"".$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"question\" value=\"" . $TheQuestion . "\">";$formoutput .= "Time Left: <input type=\"text\" name=\"seconds\" size=\"3\"><br /><br />\n" ."<script type=\"text/javascript\">\n" ."var myTime = 20;\n" ."function countDown() { \n" ."\tdocument.form.seconds.value = myTime; \n" ."\tif (myTime == 0) { \n" ."\t\t// http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; ."\t\t//clearTimeout(timer1);\n" ."\t\t//document.form.submit()\n" ."\t\tlocation.href ='" . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].

    I dont know if this the correct way to post this enhancement so to the admins please let me know if im wrong ok???. In my previous post i drop a question related to how to implement a login counter attempts, for example 3 login attempts. Well, i go ahead and finish the script to support this behavior. So, if you want to implement this you only need to insert before line 2 of the chksec.php script the following code: session_start();if (!isset($_SESSION['access_count'])) { $_SESSION['access_count']=1;}else { $_SESSION['access_count']++;}if($_SESSION['access_count']>3) { unset($_SESSION['access_count']); $_SESSION = array(); // reset session array session_destroy(); // destroy session. die( 'You exceed the maximum number of login attempts.' );}That's it Best regards,

    Thanks mastercomputers great code. I go ahead and implement your changes to my script and works fine and also i include the use of the defined() and define() functions to allow direct access to the included file only by the parent script as discussed here:CMS103 - Securing Your Website. The new chksec.php: <?phpdefined( 'MY_ACCESS_CODE' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );function_exists('valid_user') || require('htpasswd.inc.php'); $userpass = load_htpasswd();if(!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])){ Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Restricted Access\""); Header("HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized"); echo "Authorization Required."; exit();}if(!valid_user($userpass,$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'],$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])){ Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Restricted Access\""); Header("HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized"); echo "Authorization Required."; exit();}?>This is the new test file:<?phpdefine( "MY_ACCESS_CODE", true );include("chksec.php");echo "Welcome back " . $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];?>I have a couple of questions, how do you do to implement a counter of login attempts??? for example only allow 3 login attempts, and do you have the method to write an .htpasswd file and generate a hash for the password??? If its true please post it to complete the script. Best regards,

    Yes you are right, i know that limitation and if you know the name of the txt file you get the user/password information and your security is fall down, if you do and post the code for the encryption method i think every body will very grateful. regards,

    Hi, there is sometimes that you need to password protect a directory in your site but you dont have access to a database or you dont need it because only a few users will access this directory, well the following script i develop will help in this situation. With only 2 files you can implement a basic security, the first file is a simple txt file where you store your users information and the second file is the php script. You can name the files whatever you want and can be used in any site with php support. The users.txt file: In this file simply put one line at the time your users information like this: username1|userpassword1 username2|userpassword2 . . usernamen|userpasswordn The chksec.php file: This file is the one that implements the basic security, here is the code: <?phpif(!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])){ Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Restricted Access\""); Header("HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized"); echo "Authorization Required."; exit();}$theFile=file("users.txt");$nUsers=sizeof($theFile);$i=0;$validated=FALSE;while ($i<$nUsers && !$validated){ $aFields=explode("|",$theFile[$i]); if (($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']==$aFields[0])&&($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']==chop($aFields[1]))) $validated=TRUE; $i++;}if(!$validated){ Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Restricted Access\""); Header("HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized"); echo "Authorization Required."; exit();}?> Thats it, to work you just need to include this file in another php file. For example: <?phpinclude("chksec.php");echo "Welcome back " . $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];?>Best regards,

    Yes, the combination offered by the Gtalk and Gmail make these services a step forward within other services, is an excellent tool to stay in touch with your contacts, clients, friends, etc. and at the same time you can read your mail. Of course, this only works if you configure your gmail view to standard with chat, that is very easy to do by simply click an hyperlink at the bottom of the page. best regards,

    Hi, i agree with the post of vujsa, you forgot to finish your statements with a semicolon, thats your problem, also your connect variable is not strictly necessary, you can decide to use it or not. A suggestion, always include in your database functions the mysql error number and string like this: $connect = mysql_connect($server, $user, $sqlpass) or die("Could not connect to the database!" . mysql_errno() . ": " . mysql_error() );mysql_select_db($db, $connect) or die("Could not select database! Does it exist?" . mysql_errno() . ": " . mysql_error() ); Are very helpful to solve a lots of problems. Best regards,
