Wow, that's really cool for such a game. First time of hearing such things exist as a game. Anyway do you know of any screenshots or images? Just curious. And does it look something like a lot of photos make up to a big photo? Errr.. if you know what I meant.

Price definitely have drop. And yes, its recommend to get a router for the internet sharing. But even better, get a router with self downloading features. So when you computer is off. You can still download you files.

Or instead of using PHP to code, you can try using the Microsoft Excel Macro Editor to create a small program to do the file renaming for you. There's this website that I've found it quite useful, at least it gives you the basic idea. http://www.mrexcel.com/archive/VBA/4832.html. The idea is by reading all the image files from that folder and moving the file object to what is stated in the excel spreadsheet. 1. create another folder to store all renamed images. 2. have a loop reading all the images from the current folder. 3. then read the stated name from the list of worksheet given. 4. moving the current selected images to the stated name to the new folder (created at step 1). I've also found some information and sample code for renaming files in Excel in the internet. You can reference to it if you want. But of course if all these are pretty troublesome, then maybe you can wait for vujsa program. Hope some of it help you started. Cheers

Actually you are pretty right about it, from the results, apart from those newer version of FF, IE, Opera, there's no results for the rest of the earlier version. For me, still using FF 2.0 and I'm loving it. With all the addons cater for my needs, actually it can replace a lot of my normal applications like FTP client, File Explorer.. etc.

Previously I've used Gmail app for mobile and when trying to reply and forward emails, I've got some errors. After figuring out what's wrong, I've changed the setting for cookie and cache settings. Then it works for me. By the way, that was like 6 months back, so might not be related. Anyway you can give it a try. Cheers

Yeah. Currently ruby is getting more common and I personally like to try out Ruby as what others stated that its pretty efficient in the performance. I guess a lot of us in Xisto would like to try that out too.

Basically, making Java application connecting to mySQL and any other database eg. ORACLE, its the same. The only different is the connection string. For mySQL, I've used: Connection con = null;Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///test","root", "secret"); After that, use the con variable to execute all the SQL queries. For how to execute the queries, you can do a google search and you should get a lot of information. Anyway before all the connection to mySQL database, you should import all the classes and installed all mySQL services. Hope this help. import java.sql.Connection;import java.sql.DriverManager;import java.sql.SQLException; Cheers

It should be stating that its RUNNING. If you can query your MySQL database, then the service is already started. Its not indicated at the control panel of XAMPP and yet your can access the database might due to starting of service during installation. And not updating in control panel of XAMPP. Restart your computer and it should be fine. When you installed the XAMPP, it will install apache webserver, MySQL to windows services. So upon startup of windows, it should start too. In the directory of xampp, there should be a folder named htdoc. Create a new folder in there, eg. myweb. Then put the index.php file in that directory myweb. To access your index.php page. Url should be LOCALHOST/myweb/index.php. There you should be able to access your page. As for why you are getting that extra text/codes, Its weird. Tested it in my local server and it work just fine. You try to do the myweb example and try putting your code in. I'm pretty sure it should work. Cheers

Nice tutorial. There's also some javascript framework that you don't have to write much code to implement AJAX. If you are interested, 1. Prototype 2. JQuery 3. Mootools Cheers

I would assume that as the main website stated that they uses delicated server for better performance and reliablity. Anyway just a question since this topic started it. So is the free server limit on the CPU processing for each account? like 25% for free server and 100% for paid server. I'm also considering doing paid server as due to work constriant. So anyone knows the information stated in this forum? Thanks

For WAMP5 package, there might be some kind of configuration you need to do or the package overwrite your system HOST file for redirecting to the internet. Anyway you can try out xampp package for your learning phase of PHP programming. And a good start of installing those webserver package will be focusing on programming alone. It will take awhile to configure all those server and database manually but of course If you are a more technical side who need to know how things work. Then go ahead. Anyway those two lines should work in Xampp as that's what I've did to in my Xampp webserver. Good luck

Anyway just to add on, AVAST provide a bios virus scan when starting your computer (before loading into Windows). I found it pretty useful for this kind of scanning as normally trojan or virus usually loading when windows startup. So it will be loaded in system and can't be removed. Just some information. Cheers

Wow.. thanks dude. I've did my images for my previous website in PNG and then realized the the transparency issue in IE6. Hence I've changed those to GIF but a price to pay for the resolution on the curvy area, if you know what I meant. Cheers dude.

I am currently also figuring out my website on sending HTML emails and I've read that the header is the key part to changing it into HTML email. And a question for CSS, can you link up a file from my webserver and point it to those emails sent out? <link href="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; rel="stylesheet" /> As I know that for images to display in HTML emails, I've to store those images in my webserver and link those in my HTML emails. If that's possible, then linked CSS can save quite abit of redundant codes compared to inline CSS.

Agreed with the others on AVAST. Currently using that and very satisfied with it. Anyway there's a lot of topics on Anti-virus and you might want to search the site of view here for more details on other views. http://forums.xisto.com/index.php?showtopi46&hl=avast

I'm not saying that WAMP5 is not a good package as I've tested that as well. But personally, I would prefer xampp. And of course with the lite version. Anyway regarding to your code below, I've tested it in xampp server in my localhost and it just show everything correctly. Why don't you uninstall your WAMP5 server and install xampp. Try it out and see you get the same problem. I'm really curious that you have that "; ?> showing. I'm pretty sure that the Lost connection to MySQL server error for http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ was due to time out that closed the connection. By default, the server closes the connection after xx hours or xxxxx seconds if nothing has happened to the connection.

for the part that they display ")?>, try to code it with the ending of ; and a space. eg. <?php echo "this is a test using the first tag type"; ?> And for just the header, normally when there's error message, it will stop at the error message without displaying the whole things. So if you can put up those error message here, then maybe we can narrow down the problem. By the way, you can use xampp for your apache webserver with mysql database. Its all set and user friendly. Worth a try. Cheers

That is a good start. But its just a very basic software. If you really want to do a decent one, you will need to know how networking works and of course those script that control 3D modelling, which is openGL. Try doing a google search and you will find a lot of information on those topics for 3D modelling and programming. From beginner to advance, and since you only start in January, its good to get some knowledge from now till then. GL Cheers

Tried it and its a lot better than the software comes with Nokia phone. Ease of use and of course the GUI is simple and lite.

Just wondering does the examples I've gave you work for the div/css against table? Just curious as it did for me even though it might not be the best solution. Cheers

The following are the steps you need to take to start using those nameservers with your main domain.accounts: 1-Register your reseller nameservers at your domain registrar. 2-Modify your domain's nameservers 1- Go to your registrar and look for "register nameservers" page. Follow the instructions. If registering fails with error "could not verify IP addresses" or similar, try again the next day. Also note that registering nameservers doesn't mean registering a new domain, you are basically just letting the DNS databases know that there are some services with individual names connected to your domain name. (Registering nameservers will not cost you anything). 2-In order to transfer your domain onto the new servers, you will need to change your domain name's nameservers with the nameservers you've created in the step above. Set it to use your reseller nameservers (ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com). These are the nameservers that will be listed when people are doing a Whois on your domain "yourdomain.com". Hope this help.Cheers

If you are using div/css with tables, you need to create a div class for your table. And the table need to be in that div. You can't just have a mixture of table and div/css in the root. If you know what I meant. <html><body><div id="abc"><div><table> <tr> <td> </td> </tr></table><div id="abc"><div><table> <tr> <td> </td> </tr></table></body></html> Something above will mess up the layout. I've tried it and it does for me. Put the table inside a <div> and it should solve the layout issue. So you can declare all kind of css attributes on abc div. At least it solve for me. Example below.. <html><body><div id="abc"><table> <tr> <td> </td> </tr></table><div><div id="abc"><div></body></html>

I've tried something like this before by putting the form tag to return false. This way, it will not submit even when ENTER in the input field. <form onSubmit="return false;"> And for the submit button, you can add an onClick function that return false too. Then add an AJAX listener for that button to perform your list of functions. I can only think of such methods to deal with your case. <input type="submit" value="submit" onclick="return false;" id="submit1234"><script type="text/javascript">Event.observe("submit1234","click",function(event){new Ajax.Updater(........)});</script> Cheers

WOW.. this topic is alive again since 2005. And you can see such a drastic change in internet speed for just the past 2 years. Think I need to answer the topic, so mine will be 6000kbps down and 1500kbps up for as low as $US36 per month. Petty good deal huh.

Hmm.. That reminds me of gmail and yahoo mail alert. If there's ever a software made to alert you of latest topics and latest post. You will be able to keep track. But is there such software..
