To increase the "readability" of the code I would do it like :<form method=POST action=search.php><p>Search:<br><?phpecho "<input type=text name=search size=20 class=textbox size=15 value=".$_POST['search'].">";?><input type=submit value=Submit></form>You actually dont have to take the test isset for this. It is only useful for SQL queries that would generate an error if they get blank parameters

you dont need ages to learn php. Actually, if you are already familiar with an other programming language such as C, C++, Caml, Pascal, you should get it in less than half an hour. Of course, reading php code is far more useful than reading explanations about all the php functions. And you'll get everything you need with programming (http://php.net/ is a good site for that)

you should indent your code properly so that it becomes readable. This is typically an error happening to people who like so much programming and making things work quickly that they forget to use the standard conventions that make their code easy to read.I don't know what text-editor you are using, but if I were you, I'd use a special php one (see gedit under linux)

I dont understand why it can be useful, since now most people have got an unlimited internet connexion with DSL

Everybody knows how to get a web server at home. It can be useful for your local network, especially if you have an FTP server (like vsftpd). But the real point is how to get a free ip adress.french users see http://portail.free.fr/

There is only one correct anti-adware. It is called Linux and ensures you that you keep the control over the soft installed on your computer

They suck with their media players only aimed at reducing your liberties. Go Linux and become a microsoft-resistant ! Nobody except you should have the right of controling what you can do with your computer.

I use the same firewall as all linux users. I think that the only way for a firewall to be efficient is to be included in the system. Iptables, the linux firewall works great, is fast and included directly in the kernel

dont agree...Firefox IS better than mozilla. But it is still a pre-release. Wait the 1.0 release before switching back to firefox

Mozilla has always been the best browser under linux : free, nice gui and easy to use. The last firefox release is really convenient for all those looking for stability, security, privacy and other nice advanced features

The best player must be a linux player : they are fast, take low memory and work pretty well, even if the GUI is not always what you can expect from a non-free player

Its true that linux may seem a bit disappointing at the beginning, especially if you have got old distributions. I'm using Fedora Core for several years now, it is really faster, more secure but not virus proof at all.It depends on what you call a virus : of course you can control unix viruses accessing your system, but not your datas. And there are networks failures under linux, especially with NFS.
