Hey there, first of all to create and edit images i recommend the GIMP, google it. Its a free image manipulation tool, it hasnt got the best look about it but it does work. Some people dont like this program but its the best free one i know of. If youre willing to pay then adobe photoshop is better but expensive! Now as for content, i would suggest a full description of the breed as with the recent media attention the site might otherwise attract negative attention. I assume the dogs are legal where you are, eg theyre registered etc.. in which case clearly state this on the website! You could also offer links to other related websites and info. You could also have a page dedicated to each dog you have, you could even make a little family tree with images of the dogs parents and of its pups if possible. Also you could make a little blog where you write abut anything interesting or funny that happens, this will keep users coming back hopefully. I would also express concern about the illegal ownership/importing/exporting of this breed of dog and of the recent, tragic, events as im afraid some people might just see your dogs as dangerous monsters even though im sure theyre not so by expressing concern viewers will get your side of things and hw these dogs can be good companions. If you wanted to have many pages and the ability for users to signup and become members i would suggest using a Content Management System AKA CMS, you can find demos and such at: http://www.opensourcecms.com/ just click the "Portals CMS" Link on the left side and then go down the list that appears and look at the ratings and images of the CMS and if you want to try it out follow the links and info on that page. If you only wanted a few simple pages then you wont need a CMS, and if yu want a free blog check out https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=blogger&passive=1209600&continue= http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/= http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Hey, is there any chance of us seeing the website where the problem happens? Unless we can see the error messages its hard to say whats going wrong. If it isnt on the web then is there any chance you can upload it somewhere as a website?

Welcome to the trap! Its a good place!What kind of coding languages do you write in? I guess youre after the hosting as i read something in the shoutbox a minute ago, if so then go for it, its brilliant, im hosted and i have enough credits for the domain name too but i dont have much use for it at this time, but i will do soon!Enjoy the forums and the hosting if you go for it!

Ah finally leaving Dial up! Youll really notice the difference after being on dial up for so long, especially when downloading, back in the dark days of my dial up the max i was willing to download was around 5-6mb nowadays ill gladly download 6Omb or even hundreds if i have to. Good times.Im also interested to see how much it costs, im getting about 2mb i think for abut ?15 or around $3O i guess.

Ah i didnt know that Java was just for normal applications, i thought it was used for web applications to act as form processors and stuff like that and as such could replace PHPMaybe i got confused with flash or actionscript or something. When i spent my time downloading the Java development tools it seemed odd that it loaded in the command line rather than a browser, but this might explain it.

Hi all, currently im looking for a PHP developers job and while searching through job sites etc i noticed several advertising a PHP/JAVA position, the job descriptions often stated that the company has a PHP based website that needs developing etc but also want to migrate it to JAVA.So basically what im asking is, is JAVA taking over from PHP?This isnt good news for me as im a reasonable PHP developer but ive just taken a look at JAVA syntax and because its OO i really dont get along with it. Ive always hated VB and C because they seem to be so complicated compared with PHP.Does anyone know whats happening or is this just a handful of websites migrating?

Well in the UK it rarely gets that hot thankfully, i hate hot weather, luckily our summer has been very cool, only in the 7O's which i find bearable but when it does get hot we usually shut all the curtains/blinds and open the windows, make sure you have bare feet, that makes it a lt cooler and get some cold water and put your feet in it, cools you down pretty well!

Am i worried? No.the worm is spread via the document thats listed there, the way to avoid infection is to only open files from those you know and trust, if you get an email that says "look at this" with an attachment dont open it. To me it doesnt sound like it was written by a super hacker as the way it spreads, works and is named isnt very sophisticated, anyone can write a macro!Just keep your firewall and A/V updated and dont open any type of file from anyone you dont recognise, and even if a friend sends an EXE file dont open it unless you asked them to send it as some virri can infect things like msn and send themselves like that, so unless you asked someone to send you a file dont accept/download it, and if you did ask for it then virus scan it before you run it!

Well you can do something as i said before with storing the page content as a variable and calling it or you can use the FREAD function to open a HTML file, read the contents into a variable and then ECHO that variable out eg: //get the extension of the file, its easier in a variable!$htm = ".htm";//get the filename by adding a variable from the url to the extension variable to get pagename.htm$file = "$module$htm";//make a new variable with the filename above to use with FREAD$filename = $file;//open the htm file to get its contents$handle = fopen($filename, "rb");//read these contents into a variable$content = fread($handle, filesize($filename));//close the file againfclose($handle);[/quote]//now you use an IF statement to see if the CONTENT variable is empty, if it is NULL or empty then you can ECHO an error message. If it isnt empty then now you can use something like...:echo "<DIV>$content</div>";//that will ECHO the content of the file we got above into the DIV Its a little confusing i guess but it does work! You mentioned that word press is what you want, have you thought abut using a pre-made content management system, AKA CMS ?

Hahaha :XD: Brilliant, ill ask my friend this question, shes a bit mental im sure and shes very interested in murderers I think she might just answer it correctly!

As said AJAX and Js would do that for you but if you know php then you can use a url with a GET variable and change DIV content using another variable in the HTML part of the page in a method like this: PHP$page1 = "<B> hello this is page one </B>;$page2 = "<B> hello this is page two </B>;$page = $_GET['page'];if($page == "1"){ $content = $page1;} ELSE { $content = $page2;}HTML<div>$content</div> the advantage is its really easy to add links, when i used a similar method i used a CASE statement to see what page the user requested by clicking a link with a GET var in the url, then i added a file extension to it and loaded the relevant file from the server and loaded it using an INCLUDE. And as fr the links i used another external file where the links were written in HTML as a vertical nav-bar and then loaded via another INCLUDE, so to add links ll i had to do was edit that one file and the php would automatically check to see if the corresponding HTML file existed and loaded it. I hope that makes sense, i found this the easiest way to dynamically change page content, but if you prefer to write in JS then AJAX and JS might be easier, it all depends on what language you prefer. I wouldnt have any worried using frames though, the only thing is there are a few browsers, very very ld ones, that arent frame-friendly, not very many users though i dont think, also, unless controlled by CSS frames can look a big ugly!

One thing here, i just watches half of part two, now the strange schizophrenic voice says about the three rotating rings and you see the crop circle with what seems to be three rings, but there are actually four... I'd like to know where that fits in... though of course the voice seems to ignore the fourth ring.the fourth ring is small and is the closest to the center and looks very similar to the other rings but it only has one circle in each segment instead of 3 or 4

Fair enough! It seemed to me as though it only updated as a shout was made but of course that was probably just because a user shouted before the update. Ah well i shall use my interval option then!thanks

So im surfing the net looking for AJAX tutorials and i find this site: https://www.sencha.com/ then i realise what ive just found and i personally think its genius! Its basically a JS framework that lets you include scripts and then use custom made functions to do some VERY cool things with only a few lines of code, check the examples here: http://docs.sencha.com/ have a look i think its brilliant, the GUI's look fantastic and are so smooth and professional, worth the free download!!! EDIT: so very complicated :XD: *groan* i cant make head or tail of this! Though admittedly im not much of a JS coder.. i hope you guys have more luck than me! It requires so many included scripts its ridiculous, but if you can make it work for you then it will be a very effective GUI tool

True, i didnt think of that... I was wondering how the T17 shoutbox works, is that interval based? Eg a user shouts a message and so many seconds later it is updated?

Hi all.Ive just started to experiment with AJAX working with PHP and MYSQL to get data and display it and im looking to implement it into a shoutbox similar to the one here on the forums but i have a question...i know how to use ajax and JS to refresh the contents of a DIV every few seconds r so and that essentially reloads the shoutbox content as the REFRESH button does up there ^^ on the shoutbox but i think it silly that it should update every few seconds even if theres no new activity so what im looking for is a way of letting my AJAX know when there is a new entry in the DB and then reloading the DIV to show it as a shout. One way i just thought of is to use PHP to detect if a new entry has been made, if it has then i will echo out a variable containing the complete entry and if nothing has happened then i can echo out a variable that basically says "no" and have my AJAX detect that and not change the DIV. the downside is with all this AJAX loading the php file every few seconds server load wouldnt be good and it also has a habit of slowing down the browser and lagging it every now and then, this leads me to the next question..Is there a way to notify my AJAX via php and SQL of a new entry in the database without loading the php page, so instead of AJAX contacting the PHP it works the other way around?

It is true that IE generally waits for all the page to be downloaded before it shows the user anything whereas firefox will show you it as it gets the information so it seems that FF is faster but its not really any faster. Im not sure how firefox acts with tables though.

Ive just watched one video clip on youtube and its definately interesting, however i feel that when it mentions the tripod like structure that levitated the distinct lack of evidence is a problem, also the fact that the scientific community hasnt tried to replicate it, or it hasnt been published, suggests that it isnt believed or if it was attempted it didnt work. I think it would be silly to either completely accept these crop drawings as designs or to completely dismiss them. to accept them totally would be insane as everything needs a skeptic, and to discount them all would be foolish in the event that they really are blueprints and were completely ignoring them thus ignoring valuable information, does that make sense? I hope they are blueprints and i hope i see their creation in my lifetime, but i remain a little unconvinced but definitely open minded. EDIT well i heard one story where it time travelled instead of teleported and it did so by a few years and they met the creator of the experiment or something. So i imagined that by searching through records we could see if this happened in the past and by monitoring the place where it re-appeared we could see if it is about to happen, it would be brilliant for the ship to just appear somewhere and be seen by millions and recorded in high quality.

In that case ill focus myself on veggies and hope that i can eat decent amounts and loose weight, of course i go to the gym too so hopefully this will work!

This seems like a good time to pose a question, im trying to loose weight because i need too! But whats better, eating "normal" food, eg pasta's, steak and other food that isnt like junk food but isnt salad either, and eating less of it, or eating larger amounts of healthy food?the problem is i eat a lot, which is one of the reasons i am how i am now, but i find that salads and other cold meals dont really fill me up, and id rather be full of good food than half empty with normal food, because if im hungry i will eat something and usually that will be something thats easy like sweets or crisps or cake which isnt good.So whats better? eating lots of healthy food or less "normal" food?

I did use a DIV in my latest experiments and i do prefer it to a table although i think tables are easier to use. Out of curiosity how much lnger does a table take to load compared to a div of the same dimensions and content?I do remember reading they take a little longer but it didnt mention specifics

Thanks for the links and such, as i have a day in today i shall begin grooming them for anything i can find!

Hey there, with qupis you dont need hosting credits, its simply a free host, so you can register over there and have an instant website and its ready to go.To get started of course upload your website into the right folder. If you need a hand with this just say so and help will be given!As for pasting the HTML code you got from the website, i just checked it out and its just the form code so to use it you need to create a web page first, now if youve already got a page that you want it to go on then just edit the code of that page and find the place where you want it then paste the code you got from the form website into that place and it should all work!

I think you would be mad to try to make your own web server at home for several reasons...your isp wont be happy and might disconnect you from their service and then you would have no internetyou wont have a very high upload speed which means your users will be waiting a very long time for any page to load even if they have a good internet speed.you would have to consider security which would be a big issue if you have other computers on the same network especially if youre not well experienced in network securityYou would have to maintain the server yourself, which again could be an issue if you dont have experienceyou might have issues when setting it up if you havnt got experience Now if youre still hell bent on setting up your own server check out xampp by googling it. I would reccomend that you get xampp anyway as a development environment so that way you can test your php pages without uploading them and then when its time for them to be on the internet you can upload them.

You can pm me, yes, but i dont give out my email address on the internet :XD: Though im no expert on this, i just posted what i did and if it works then it works! Just remember it can take a little while for google to catch up and list your website so leave it a few days if it doesnt come up at first.
