Well to get in the record stores you will first need to approach a recording company, just search google for a metal recording company, i know only of one, road runner records, they are the producers etc.. for trivium and a few other heavy metal bands. You send off Cd's to them and if they lkike you they might publish you and sort everying for you. You could also approach a small familly owned record store and give them a demo and see if they would be interested in selling it. To get gigs talk to pub/bar owners first and give them demo's and see if they can give you a spot, most pubs run live bands at the weekends. From there you can build up a name and if you make some "business" cards you can get people to call you for gigs, if you're really good you might be able to be a support band at a live gig for a really big band and then work your way up. It wont be easy but if you can do it, it will be worth it. if like to add ive no experience in this at all but this is the logical steps i would follow to get known! Also make a website with demo's interviews with members, photos, dates etc.... try to have a real website though not just a myspace because everyone has myspace and they're pointless for things like advertising your band, you can have both tho and use the myspace for demos and photos and the real website for like a members area, forums, guestooks and the like...Good luck

Hey everyone, over the last week I've been writing a PHP tutorial aimed at absolute beginners who have never even seen the syntax of PHP before let alone wrote a PHP script! The tutorial assumes you have a basic knowledge of HTML (for the tutorial you will need to write a couple of hyper links and forms, nothing complex!) and an internet browser. It tells you about where to find the other software needed (apache/XAMPP and a script.text editor) and how to check if it is working. The tutorial is basic and focuses on the use of the ECHO, INCLUDE/REQUIRE and IF functions along with variables including GET and POST and at the end if all goes well you should have a very simple module system which you can use to build a website from (like the Xisto forums it uses GET variables to select the page content to display to the user and its how my website and lots of others work.) So Feel free to check it out if you're willing to learn (it wont take long to complete the tutorial, there's a lot of text but its only explaining what is about to be written and why) or if you;re just curios then check it out! Any feedback would be great the link is : http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Hope you enjoy Notice from jlhaslip: Edit Title spelling

Genius! Works perfectly, just used a DIV with margin-left and it works fine. Cant believe it was so simple, thought it was going to be my downfall and ive had the same problem so many times but never found this solution lolThanks

strange! Do you know why these firewalls add the code? Is it some sort of security thing? I dont think mine does it but ill be checking now!

Hey all I'm working on several pages in HTML using external CSS formatting and i need a table for navigation along the left hand side with links in it and i want the text to sit next to this table to the right the entire length of the page even though the table will end, probably about half way down. eg: (the "-"'s are to add spacing as i cant use multiple spaces. See how the text stays in line and doesn't revert to going back to the left hand side of the browser window as it normally would) The problems im having are: 1) text-indent only indents the first line of every paragraph not every line of the text 2) position: absolute/relative mean that i have horizontal scrolling even though the text doesn't go over the browser window width, it seems there is unseen space which makes the page scroll horizontally. 3) i don't really want my table to stretch to fit the entire page as it has its own background colour and wouldn't look too great (but if this is the only way i can use cells with no bgcolor property methinks or add another hidden table to act as padding but then i have another problem with how do i make sure that table goes down as far as the text and not farther/shorter? if you can help me solve that then i can use this method) the CSS i used for the position attribute is as follows: p{color: #6e6edb; font-family: Century Gothic, Century, Arial, System, Times New Roman; [b]position:relative; left:150;} [/b] if theres something i can do to change that code then im open to suggestions! Thanks

This very post was going to be about the same thing but you beat me! no fair!I heard about this when i got home from college today about 2pm. thought it was cool as at college, which is in upminster about 25 miles from london (probably a very bad guestimate) at about 11:15 there was a massive bolt of lightning, then thunder then super heavy rain and hail so it was probably the same storm system that hit london minus the tornado! Wish there was some sort of video of it.Its also weird because i had a dream about 3 or 4 tornados last night. coincidental i assume!

hey shibo, i think its great that youre trying to make some "real world script" i usually make pointless things just to test myself but atleast if you did make it, it would be usefull. The only thing (and its a big thing!) is security...midnitesun said he/she is making a shopping cart and using paypal to handle the payment and i would suggest that if you are going to make this script definately use paypal to handle all payment including credit card details etc... The reason being that a shopping cart system needs to e 99.9% secure (i find it hard to think that anything is 100% secure) because you would potentially have thousands of pounds (dollars/yen/etc..) of money floating about your site daily and that makes it a potential hit for hackers etc.. and if they gain access to credit card details you are in a lot of trouble. ghostrider spelled things out pretty well so if you wanted to make this script make all of those things listed there and you will have a backbone and from that you can make the paypal integration etc... What ghostrider listed shouldnt be too hard to create, just using SQL queries to pull data, sessions to store it and HTML to show it, using get and post variables to put the data into sessions etc.. But just be wary of security! I wouldnt want you having to pay out thousand of pounds etc because someone found a hole! It would be fine to store things like name, username etc... Possibly address if encrypted but i would make the user enter their credit card details every time rather than storing them in a DB because even encryption can be broken and a has (like md5 etc..) would be useless as its one way.Good luck and if you do make it then keep us posted, i might be tempted to follow in your footsteps

the htaccess seems like a good idea too but the problem is that HTML files are an annoyance but a PHP file can be fatal, all they need to do is write their own CMS script and use the file creator to put it on your site and they themselves a great backdoor into the system and can delete edit and create anything they like That would be a pain. Ill try to bypass the secrurity and see if its possible or not, lets hope not.**EDIT**I cant find a way around the security of the PHP so to me it seems fairly secure. You could try like you said before putting the editor scripts inside a folder of their own and protecting that folder with HTACCESS. Remember to change the directory in the script though.

thats kinda weird...um i think ill try see if im able to create files remotely onto my Xisto site and hopefully rule that out then take a look at the security on the files i wrote, if i have time that is, got coursework for tomorrow if not ill take a look tomorrow.

AD: on their HTML page did the file they create have the header and footer HTML attatched or was it only their code? The reason im asking is if they did use the file creation script to make their index file then it should have the HP HTML above and below their code. If it is only their code on the page then i would imagine that the file creation script had not been used and they did it some other way perhaps through a guestbook or forum or other file uploading script? Or one other possibility is that they used their own file creation script to create a file remotely onto your server. I will give this a go when im at home trying to write to my Xisto site and see if im able to do that.

lol like it, and probably 100% true! damn the world is getting smaller!@thehate: You should post longer messages as one worders could be considered spam (especially in a topic made by the almigty admin )

was it spyhackerz as they call themselves? They hit me once trying my guestbook, failed miserably though When im home (currently at my dads again) ill give the script a good test and try to bypass it and if i can ill fix it if not then i/you can make another post and we will see if any members can see how it happened. Do you think they coud have guessed the password (eg was it something like admin/admin etc...)? @garbage:IF you want to write PHP scripts like this then there are many tutorials around and some good ones are on tizag.com so check them out. Im also writing a very begginer tutorial at the moment to cover the absolute basics of PHP so if i decide to finish it ill post the link

Got it too after a hint on that pageInteresting "game" could really annoy me if i couldnt get it!

Im not sure about getting anything bad from human poop, course if you eat it or it got into your blood it wouldn't be pretty, so kids, don't eat poop! But surely getting it on your skin wouldn't do too much harm especially if you got it off quick. So i chose poop because I'm a wimp but if i had to choose glass or coals it would be coals because i hate the feeling of glass, or anything else very sharp, cutting skin.

I think knocking it back is stupid. It does no harm to anyone and they say that its unfair or something to other people who haven't got memorials for their commitment...well if we went along the lines of its not fair because its the first what would happen! We wouldn't get anything done! Maybe they will start a petition about it or something.

erm im sure it could be added in, ill have to do it abit later when im on my scripting machine as the keyboard n this one is screwed I should be able to do it, you only want .php file extensions? **EDIT** Okies AD Ive added a few lines of code in the attached file. Its only the file_edit.php file that has been updated so simply delete the one you have currently and replace it with this one Can i ask what happened when this person created the HTML page? (or is this just a scenario and not something that happened?) Because i hoped that the login would prevent anyone except you from getting access to the file creation page? If they managed to get to the page and bypass the login page without the right username/password combo then i shall have to look at the security again. Did they have the user/pass do you know? or did they somehow bypass it? Heres the file anyhow!

that's strange, it probably is an error in IE7 if it works in other browsers, if theres any way of putinng the code online i, or someone else can test it in IE6, FF opera etc as well and see if we get errors too. You using the #link to focus the browser on a specific part of the page right? in which case i would definately say its a browser based problem not a code based one.

ahh fair enough! Apologies for assumptions!

hey what code help are you after? Do you mean you want a javascript page which will give you a link/button to delete a row and then this page goes to a PHP script which carries out the action? OR do you want a javascript script to do the actual deleting?I only ask because the code you posted is PHP and im confused!And what is the problem you're having? Is it that you simply need this script written or there is an error you are getting? If theres an error youre getting then post us the error and we can hopefully help Im ok with PHP, not so good with JS so if its PHP i can possibly give a hand.

My views are similar to above in that they are bad for you etc and can be bad for society. But i live in an area where drugs are fairly common, the guy next door is a stoner but it doesn't bother me. To be honest as long as the person isn't stealing/mugging etc.. to get the money to buy drugs and isn't killing/fighting etc while high or in relation to drugs then wheres the harm? the only problems come when people are desperate for the money to get drugs and they aren't being destructive while high and arent forcing drugs on other people and leaving needles around etc... then theres not a problem. Smoking it in the street is only marginally worse than smoking ordinary cigarettes in the street, both are addictive and destructive and stink.

The fact AV applications have a problem finding it (atleast those you mentioned) is a pain. But its good to know that they look for the code of the virus rather than a specific name etc...atleast this way the code should stay pretty much the same and therefore be easier to find. I'll scan my registry too to make sure. thanks for the warning

aw i like it, it gets across the emotions very well and i can kind of relate to it and imagine myself in this situation (even though Im not) which makes it more effective, at least to me.If you are in the situation then you might want to think about letting him know. People wont laugh and you only need to tell him, not the world. Everyone feels love and believe me you will so regret it if you don't tell him. But back on topic its a nice piece of work

Damn, i guess i better do a full scan when i get home and check my registry just in case. Are A/V systems able to detect this file as a threat or is it much harder to detect because of the changing filename? (im not sure exactly how A/V's work wether its by name or file contents)

Networking media: Coaxial is basically phased out nowadays and replaced by UTP or Fiber mainly becuase it is much easier to install either of these and the network cards for coaxial, the T joins, are harder to get. the advantages of coaxial is it is easier to impliment a ring network toplogy because of the connectors (i assume!)dude you should seriously edit those two post and merge them into one and remove the smileys or youre gonna end up gettin banned or something

hey dude i just sent you a PM about double posting and smileys! Give it a read! Anyway back to topic, i learnt about this in cisco last year and i know it related to an international standard for networking compliance, or something similar, to ensure that a network card bought in china will work in the UK etc....without it i dont think the internet would have evolved so far so fast. And it would make networking a lot more difficult without it! PS you should edit your message and take out the smileys incase a mod in a bad mood finds them! And take a look at the readme and rules too so you dont get in trouble! And delete the other post the same as this!
