  1. yeah, but if i were to use a database. i would have to automatically delete the results when they finish the test. then the database storage space and server speed would become inconsistent and too dependent on the quiz page...
  2. is there any place where i can learn to code VB without learning the GUI? i'm stripped for cash right now and i wanna learn BASIC. is there any place online where i can learn the coding assuming i don't want to use the program?if not, can anyone recommend another popular version of BASIC with a good online tutorial?thanx in advance
  3. no problem, that took me some time to learn, too...
  4. take out the . " from the end of the string. example: <?php$message = "User Name: ". $_POST['UserName'] . "\nE-Mail Address: " .$_POST['EMail'] . "\nIP Address: ". $REMOTE_ADDR . "\nComments: \n" . $_POST['Comments'];mail("myemail@email.com", "Feedback",$message);?>
  5. let's say that for whatever reason, let's say for a survey, i want to make a quiz like w3schools.com has, only with PHP. i would want to put all the questions on different pages, also like w3schools. could each of the submissions stay stored inside PHP's $_POST for 20 pages? if not, how could i get around it?PS. i really don't know anything about ASP other than the fact that w3schools uses it. so please don't explain to me with ASP-specific terms...
  6. actually, it just proves that you have to be very specific if you want all browsers to render your code correctly! there are many different levels other than 'document' in javascript. browsers never like to assume and they almost always do it badly! more and more users are switching over to firefox because a lot of them (including myself) believe that it renders code way better! you'll just have to learn to code to both browsers!
  7. i use spybot like amy and its really good. my father also downloaded then registered Webroot Spysweeper. i don't trust it, because although it is a PC Magazing Editor's Choice, my computer teacher at school says specifically that it is spyware itself! (they use adaware at school.)i trust you know about good antivirus software and firewalls. if not, i suggest AVG for a good free antivirus utility. for a firewall, which is really important for your case, i suggest Sygate and/or Zone Alarm; both companies put out free versions.hope this post helps you! alapidus
  8. you have to separate all variables (or anything other than text) from text with periods and quotes otherwise the PHP parser doesn't know which is which. for instance: //this should be created the email message $message = "Bestelling door ". $name ."\n Te bereiken op ". $phone .", of op de GSM ". $GSM ."\n \n Bestelling\n \n ". $2in1 ." keer ". $2in1name ." = ". $total2in1; also, i don't trust using $_REQUEST. its better to use either $_POST or $_GET depending on the form method (or $_COOKIE, but i'm not experienced with those). you should check out the PHP online manual from php.net! it'll help you a lot!
  9. i have experience in XHTML, CSS, and PHP (and a *little* bit of Javascript), and i think XML looks very interesting. i looked at the tutorial on w3schools.com, but i know its out-of-date, and it also just doesn't look very advanced at all. i learned javascript from w3schools and i know that i still can't accomplish a percentage of javascript! so where can i learn XML for real?
  10. For me, it?s PHP all the way. There are so many things that PHP can do that HTML cannot do alone. You cannot access databases or store information at all with HTML (as far as I know). You cannot script at all without help from scripting/programming languages (such as PHP). It?s not even the best markup language! XML beats it by far! Another sad part about HTML is that it allow so much room for error. This is usually a good thing. However with constant revisions and higher demands for better markup, those who didn't learn HTML properly are going to be left stranded. HTML is just for beginners. Once you know HTML well, you should move on to something else.
  11. Besides Javascript, don't forget about CSS when making dropdown menus! With CSS, you can make your options look better. You can use color, font, and basically any other generic attribute, even background images (I haven't tested this last one) to make it look cool! Stuff that you can't do with just HTML.... You can combine this with Javascript to make some really cool effects, such as changing the color when you hover over or select an option. To learn CSS, i suggest htmldog.com. It teaches HTML and XHTML all in one go, without even looking back at old standards. You also might wanna check out w3schools.com, although I find W3Schools to be more of a crash-course site.
  12. Did you check the Forwarding and POP tab in settings?
  13. I learned HTML by looking at a couple tutorials (at w3schools.com and davesite.com). then i went to a few of my favorite sites, and studied their HTML source ('View -> Source' in most browsers) for many months. it really works!now i'm learning PHP and failing at that, but you can't get ANYWHERE if you don't know HTML! also, its more important to learn CSS before learning Javascript IMHO. HTML and CSS go hand-in-hand. plus, basically everyone enables CSS. not so for Javascript! many people choose to manually block Javascript through their browser settings, so its not a great idea to overuse it... just be warned...PS. be prepared to see the words "Hello World" at basically any programming tutorial you can imagine!
  14. i look at it as a small feature. to me, its a next-generation game boy, only with a second screen you can utilize in a few games. i'm not buying it yet, i wanna see a few more good games, a price drop, and the psp first. right now, i can only think of 3 games that i want to buy. i wanna see 7-8... so i don't just get bored of it after a month like i did for game boy advance. i guess for me the difference between game boy and ds is the graphics. game boy is just a little super nintendo, ds is a kickass n64! still, nintendo third-party support sucks. that makes me lean towards psp! I CAN'T CHOOSE!!!! HELP ME!!!!!
  15. what you do is:invite yourself and get 5-6 gmail invites. save some of those to invite yourself, and you also have more to share! i'm also open if anyone needs...
  16. i haven't touched the cmos since i got the motherboard. i got the bios directly from asus's website like it says. and the automatic rebooting is fine, i'm using ez-flash like it says to do with the version i got...i can't think of a solution except that my motherboard (that i got for newegg) might be defective
  17. well, my big brother always beat me up... one can make a case that that worked... if not, do it anyway
  18. whenever i try to flash my BIOS for my asus k8v se dx, it automatically reboots, but right after that i get the error "CMOS Checksum Bad", and the bios flash is unsuccessful...what's the problem and how do i fix?thanks in advance
  19. right, except that javascript is browser-side and is loaded with the html (unlike asp or php), meaning that the user can disable javascript as he pleases. and i know a lot of people who do disable javascript, so its best not to overuse it. just my 2 cents
  20. good emoticons?i wanna allow users on my message boards to post them, but i also don't wanna steal any images without permission...good links, anyone?thanks in advance!
  21. i wanna learn VB but i know that it costs money. for someone like me who justs want to learn, experiment, and make some basic (no pun intended) programs, what are my best and cheapest options? and where can i buy it?if i can get VB bundled with a book tutorial that would be great!
  22. thanks again.btw, where did you learn that?i might wanna take a look.
  23. i learned xhtml 1.0 from w3 schools, but that was 1.0. what's new in 1.1?thanks in advance
  24. I think you should learn science and math you need mainly math for computers...everyone has suggested computer related things but math is really important when coming to computers....seriously..... If you are good at math already then well your a very talented person. Who knows a lot of stuff.... w00t! i'm in advanced math at my school. i guess that means i'm good. and to all the people that said i don't know php: 1. i was speaking hypothetically (but i really do know html and css, that is teh easy!) 2. i'm about halfway through php.net's tutorial. and i coded my own php calculator >_>. okay, i'll learn some more php if it will make you happy... 3. you're making me cry ;_; vB looks more interesting, the only problem is its expensive... i guess i could try it once i get some money. i guess i'll stick to php for now... UPDATE: i got a book from the library "PHP and MySQL Web Development". its really good, even though it was published in 2001 (by php version 4). i'd recommend other newbs like me to read it! even some experts could learn from it!!! i'm gonna learn php from this book not php.net
