i learn something new everyday! Glad to see you got it in the end

ok lets try making a new user for the sql databases.go back to the phpmyadmin page as i said before but this time click on "privileges" now about half way down there should be a link sayin "create new user" click that and type in a username something like "CMS_DRAGONFLY" or anything like that so you remember it, then type in a password, anything will do. Now you will see a long list of check boxes. This relate to what that user can do to the database. I normally select them all so i can use it as an admin account. i would say select them all so you know that any problems arent to do with user permissions. leave the bottom text boxes as they are. then click the "go" button and you should have yourself a new user that should be able to create databases etc... so give it a go then try the CMS installation again remember the username and password as you wil probably need it later.

I think everyone has 99 subdomains, is that a problem though? Surely you dont plan on having 100 or more subdomains of your site?!

going with what jlhaslip said and your problems with creating a new database this is how to do it: I use xampp too and phpmyadmin so this should be as sinpoly as following what i say exactly. We'll soon see though! First of all accewss phpmyadmin, this is just a user friendly tool for editing SQL databases. To get there type http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ into your browser with xampp "apache" and "my-sql" running. once youve done that near the bottom of the page in the list of links is one that says "databases" click that. This will give you a arather small list of databases. Here i can see that the database ( in bold) needs to be set, at the moment it is looking for a database called "myname" which it cant find as its not yet there. You could make a database of this name but it seems like a better idea to call it "CMS" or "dragonfly" or something related. ONce you have changed that then go back to phpmyadmin and on the page we just got to above you will see a text box about half way down under the list of databases. now whatever name you put into the php file after "$dbname =" is the name you will put into this text box. Then click create. that will make a database for you. I will also suggest that you change "dbuname" and "dbpass" to real user accounts. For now it might be easier to use the user "root" and it is likely you will not yet have a password on this account. This is ok-ish if you connect to the net through a router/switch but if you connect directly i would suggest putting a password on it for security (if you want more info then ask and ill post it) so set $dbuname = "root" and $dbpass = "" now you should have unlimited access to all databases from this php script. and that should be all. When running the install for the CMS you will probably need to remember the database name. After that the CMS should do everything for you. also for the CMS to be avaliable through a web browser it will have to go into the htdocs directory (DRIVE_LETTER:\xampp\htdocs) then it will be accesibly like a normal webpage through http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

well im not an expert by any standards but in psychology we were taught about sleep and the cycles of sleep. Every 1:30 you go through one cycle (on average) and have a dream for about 20 mins- 30 mins. The dreams are the important part of sleep as many people think they resotre your brain etc. As you will only be sleeping about 30mins you probably wont dream and therefore the restoration in normal sleep would be lost. I dont think it would cause you any real damage but it might make you confused after a long time and maybe drowsy and such like. Maybe sleeping for 1 and a half or two hours at 4- 5 hour intervals might be better. But like i said im no expert! I cant function if i have less than 8 hours of sleep

I say the same thing to everyone who has viri that act like this. Download avast anti-virus for free, (google it). Install it but dont run an anti-virus scan yet!The chances are it wont let you anyway and it might just cause you more annoyance with crashes/reboots etc... instead click "file" (if using the simple user interface that looks like a CD player control clikc the button with the eject symbol to bring up this menu. ) Then schedule a boot time scan and reboot. during boot up avast will kick in and search the hard drive while no other programs are running so hopefully catch the virus while its sleeping. This should almost definately work! and also as said internet security is a firewall that blocks threats not get rid of them so try the software suggested or keep avast!Now to end a proccess its pretty simple. PRess ctrl+alt+del to bring up task manager, then click the "proccesses" tab and find the process you want to kill then hit the delete key or click "end proccess". be careful though! killing the wrong things will crash your PC and maybe cause it to shut down. Its unlikely to kill your pc but its always possible. Just know what youre killing before you kill it becaue it literally does that, it doesnt say "im going to end you proccess so save your stuff and be gone" it just kills it no matter what its doing so can cause problems sometimes. as for hidden files its pretty simple too, click the tools>options menu in any folder then the "view" tab and then select the box that says "show hidden and system files" Any files that were previously hidden will now be slightly transparent so you can tell. ITs normally best not to delete hidden files as they are normally hidden for a reason! by the sound of things i guess you were planning on taking it down manually? IF so just be carefull what you destroy! and if possible put the files in question into a ZIP file as this will stop them working but make them very easy to restore!

humm, abit confusing but i get the idea that the session variable name isnt stored properly. The first thing i notice is that you have "$_SESSION['$name]" personally i have never used a variable inside an array like that so you might want to try it without the dollar sign so its not a variable within an array. That might help. I think what you are trying to do with the cade is you have a variable called $name which contains a users name and you want this into a session variable? if so just have code like: $_SESSION['name'] = $name; but either way try dropping the dollar sign and putting "name" into single ' ' quotes that might help. Its what i would try first.

LOL so true. But on a serious note do what jlhaslip said and download avast. Then run it and get to grips with it, do a thorough scan whic could take an hour or two depending on your system specs and size of files. Once compelte just use your pc as normal for a lil while then scan again. If it finds it again then stop the scan. And go into the options menu (i think its options or "file" but if you use the simple interface it looks like the eject symbol) then schedule a boot time scan and reboot. Itll boot your PC into a special mode where only avast anti virus is running. Itll catch the bugger while its still asleep. And for anyone else i belive the message is something like Firefox will tell you its a shortcut to an MS-DOS application which is definately not a photo! Once installed i think it send itself through your address list so if i were you i would warn everyone you talk to not to click that link!!!

I understand your problem, but as said javascript is the best way to go . javascript will make the popup box and it will look identical to that of the .htaccess method then the values of username and password will be stored in GET or POST global variables so that the php page that comes next will take those values and compare them to the ones in the file, if correct you get in, if not you get redirected. the easiest way in my opinion would be to use a database or to include the correct usernames and passwords list in the php file. it will be safer i think and easier to work with

This is one way of doing it and i think its the way that many of the dynamic sigs here work. The image is a link to a php script that simply writes some text onto an image background and sends it to the browser as an image. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ That site is all about the gd image library which you will need to install. Depending on what system you are using it might already be installed. To check just use phpinfo(); and check on the GD library area to see if its installed. If not that link has another link where you can find the GD library. Once installed and if you have read through that link above you should be able to take the first steps into image manipulation using PHP. Its not too difficult once youve practiced. Start by writing text onto a background and move on from there Notice from jlhaslip: Edit to remove faulty bbcode

that sucks alot! but the advice given is good,m i asumme you already keep good backups as you reversed the damamge, just make sure you keep on top of backups and do them every day for now to make sure. You should check all your access logs in the cpanel to get the IP's if possible and then block those IP's in the cpanel, and if you really wanted you could ask for help on creating some sort of report, like a whois lookup and other traces on the offending IP's and then send this to their ISP's if you can find that out so they can get disconected from the net and then maybe the ISP will so a fllow up of legal action and keep you in the clear. to find their IP address try and work out exactly when the last attack was and what pages were used during that attack and then look at the raw access logs for that time and for those pages you belive were edited or used and you should find their IP address.

Hi everyone.i need a script to run at timed inteverals of like a week or something so ive found out i should use cronjobs. Im not familliar with them atall but i asume its just a server application that will do something at the time i tell it to. Correct me if im wrong!the problem i have is how do i get it to run the php script i want? do i just type the address of the script into the box (I am using the cron jobs thing here at Xisto in the control panel in the simple mode, not advanced!) i can work out how to change the time etc but not sure about how to get it to run this certain script so any help is appreciated. Thanks**EDIT**Problem solved. I used the advanced option and its a lot easier as it tells you how to write the command to run a php script.

Hi there, like jlhaslip im not entirely sure what youre after but ill take a shot and hpefully i can help abit. i think i get what you mean. for example with the image code you posted you want the imnage to change depending on what the user inputs? so you could have a link that goes to a page like https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/overview/page1.php?image=1 and image one would be loaded up, but if they clicked a link like https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/overview/=2 image two would be shown? right? if so you could do what i have done on my website. First of all follow the link given to you and learn about the include function. it will make things easier to learn and understand. then you would need code something like: (assuming that you use the url like https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/overview/page1.php?image=1) //get the value in the url into a variable$image = $_GET['image'];//use include to put this file onto page1.phpinclude($image); im not sure how well include handles images as ive only ever used it to include php and html files. but if you wanted to use this to load different content (eg like Xisto.com does with index.php?act=something and load a different content depending on the act. EG act=post lets the php know its looking at a forum post.) then you would use the code above but add something to it like: //get the value in the url into a variable$image = $_GET['image'];// add ".html" to filename$html = ".html";$image = "$image$html";//now $image is something like 1.html//use include to put this file onto page1.phpinclude($image); so if 1.html was a picture gallery the user would see a picture gallery. And if 2.html was a contact form they would see the contact form. for better explainations check the link given to you, i just hope this is easier to understand because i sometimes find php manuals and such like to be hard to understand.

Well technically it could be a problem according to what google say but the website is related to google and is positive for google (mostly positive anyway, im sure someone has a negative opinion somewhere there). I agree with what Plenoptic said that its probably mainly so people dont make random sites like goggle.com (which i belive is a real site) in the hope that people might miss type the URL or make websites to rip google off. Im sure google would be happy to reply to any questions opaque might have about it all, they seem like alright people

I think it comes down to getting your name across to people and to show that youre good with computers and such. I really want to make some decent php stuff and get people to know it was me who done it and people to see that i can do it. I cant do much else so i want some recognition! And i think that a lot of people are the same but some get recognition by making malware. Course some people have a vendetta against software companies and exploit their products, which is fair enough but they exploit software that innocent people are using which isnt good. I know what you mean though, its stupid and childish most of the time.

Yeh ill always be there for her. She knows im interested but she has done for the last few years and at the moment we both know our relatioship is just friends. and ive explained to her that i dont actually want them to split up i just want him to get his **bottom** into gear. And i would love to beat him to a pulp if he carries on like this but then she would hate me and i cant let that happen! ITs so frustrating not bein able to do anything.

To cut a long story short one of my friends who i have feelings for has a boyfriend who in my opnion and others veiws is abusing her. Ive psoted something similar beore so some people might get de ja vu but this is a bit different.i just cant take all the anger and intense hate he is causing me to feel. HE has told my friend that no-one else will ever love her, that any other boy would dump her within a day and generally degrades her. Now to me thats a classic abusive relationship starting. In every film or anything on TV ive seen with an abusive relationship it all starts mentally with that. And ive read it on the net too, all of which i know isnt concrete evidence but hewy its a pretty good sign right? Well as i have feelings for her and im not afraid to express them or my hate towards him he doesnt like me very much which doesnt bother me, infact the more people that dont like me the easier my life will be, but the problem is what he does about it. He has dumped my friend about 4 times now eac htime going into some wild raving rant and endin up with him going home and leaving her standing in the cold to go home on her own. or sometimes storming out of her house. Well one time he dumped her and as always she was very upset and he got back with her, as always. But this time one of the conditions of them getting back together was that me and her would no longer be friends. I only just found this out for sure but i had suspicions for a while. And although we are still friends, she just lies to him about it, it really P***** me off because i hate lying and liars and i hate people trying to exart control over others which is exactly what hes doing! He ordered her not to drink at a party, low and behold she "didnt feel like drinking" that night (alcohol!) Ordered her not t take her PJ's off at a sleepover and she didnt, strange that" oh and she is extremely reluctant to have any photos done with me and on one day out asked another of my female mates to be between me and her so that she could be "between the girls" so basically incase he saw this photo. i mean i cant take this! what can i do? i actually feel like killing him, literally, i think of him gargling on his blood as he chokes on it and dies, before this happened i used to go for bike rides in the forest, sit and watch the sunrise/set, write poems, stories and would do anything for anyone now i hate the world. I hate everything, and its because i cant express this anger towards him. Last time i did that he dumped her!! and i got the god-damned blame for it! i cant even text her when they are together, damnit she doesnt reply if i do anyway, she replies to his texts when shes with us though (us being me and friends) i really cant take this!!! its driving me mad, i need to control my anger and somehow get rid of it but how?! im arguing with teachers at college, annoying one ofmy other friends for the fun of watching her getting annoyed (in my defence she is pretty annoyin) I dont want to take tablets because they dont solve the cause of the problem. As it goes this whol situation has made my friend take stress releif pills. its really affecting us! what can i do?!Thanks and sorry for the long rantified post. But the problem is nothing without the background.

Well its hard to know which it is but it doesnt really matter as we know its damn bad! TRy what hadi said, ive never used that route before but it seems like a good idea, in the meantime, or if you dont try that then what anti virus are you using? and as said is it up to date? if it is up to date then you need to get a second anti virus, id reccomend avast as it seems to find alot of malware and is easy to use, search the web, its easy to find anbd free for home use. once youve got that open the anti virus main window and over to the right looks like an eject button, click that (this assumes you are using the simple interface found by right clicking the A icon in the icon tray and clicking "start antivirus") Once you see the menu click shedule boot time scan and do as it asks, then reboot and it will scan the entire hard drive and hopefully find that virus and destroy it while it still thinks the computer is turned off. That should do the trick. If you already use avast then update the virus database and scan using a thorough scan. if that doesnt work try finding AVG anti virus and trying the same steps with that.

Please no more! it hurts to laugh!that list is fantastic! haha! So true!

Well as i understand it NO sound atall can ever travel in a vaccum because the whole point of sound is it is made of particles vibrating and in a vaccum there are no particles to vibrate, so therefore no sound. But if scientists are right that space is made of anti-matter then ould it be that anti-sound could be used there? In whic case its possible but im not sure how it could be used as propulsion. I think it is due to some kind of gravitational or magetic force to oppose that around them...but in space there is neither so again a problem there....Ask the military they know but they are determined not to tell us...they hide so much and we need to find out the truth!

Well people the deface are most likely after attention as they like to "tag" the websites thewy deface, unless of course its some sort of protest or whatver. My advice to hackers/crackers is not to give up what you are doing but put it to a good use. Dont hack or crack good people. im definately not sticking up for people that are starting wars, causing cruelty to other people and animals etc etc etc do what you like to them who cares about them?! :Pi used to be interested in hacking i admit i didnt get far as i got bored with it but scince then ive continued to learn about computer security and i think that all hackers should turn their knoweledge towards enforcing security rather than destroying it, i know that watching a security system crumble at your finger tips is great fun but there are so many hacking websites that allow you to practice such skills legall and safely. hacking is like a kinfe, in the right hands it can help many but in the wrong it can be deadlly (well in the case of hacking it can be a pain in the a$$!) So use your skills to help people. One job i would love is to work for the government, as much as i think they stink it would be great to being down people who think its "cool" to comit credit card fraus, send massive spam mail etc..love to watch them cry! and to skript kiddies its simply...we dont have the electricity to waste on you and your "activities" If you want to get involved in the hacking cmmunity sort yourselves out! Its not about guessing your mates hotmail password its about destroying people who do wrong and helping yourself and others with security. Hackers arent all bad, im not really into hacking as much now but i know that there are a lot of good hackers out there and just as many bad unfortunately.

Yes for the session global variables to be avaliable you need to use session_start() im not sure if it was the way my script was set out that allowed it to keep track of sessions basically it is this: include("check.php");if($_SESSION['loggedin'] == "1"){//if user is logged in make html content}else {//give an error} check .php was the only page where i used session_start so perhaps because it was controlled on one page it kept track of things. Otherwise it could be a problem with the installation you as using as youmight need to fiddle with directories to allow sessions to be stored and/or make sure cookies are enabled. I dont see a problem with the script myself as i thought that session_start simply brought back the global array $_SESSION[' '] for use and to overwrite a session you had to destroy it first. Check that you have a "tmp" or "temp" or similar directory in your server root, if using a hosting company it shouldnt be a problem but if using a development environment it might need tampering as if this directory exsists sessions cant be saved on the web server and this could cause problems if the ini file says that all sessions must be saved on the server. but other than that im afraid i dont know what to say, like i said ive not had much experience with sessions Good luck though

to be honest if google employed a huge team of psychologists they could build up a detailed profile of the population of the world just from the searches we do on the net! the amount of clicks on their ads and the searches they good give them so much data, they could probably sell it off as market research to firms everywhere. And we all let go of our secrets online so google knows a lot about us thats for sure!

Hum it all seems a little complicated to me so ill show the code for my login script ive used before and see if it is of any use to you. this is as i remember it anyway... <?SESSION_start();if($_SESSION[loggedin] == "1"){// any code to be executed when logged in.else{//anything to do if they arent logged in, usually an error message or login page redirection.}; to check sessions i used a seperate php file that was included on every login protected page including the login page, the session script set a variable which i used in the login page something like if($loggedin == "1"){ echo "you are logged in already";}else{echo <HTML>login page data</HTML>";}; it worked for me! ive only used sessions once so its fairly basic but i tried basic attempts at bypassing it and i couldnt. However there was an issues with using session_start(); to continue a session which you should check out on http://phpsec.org/ i cant remember it so its probably best you read it, its in the articles section if i remember rightly.

i been there too, i loved a girl for 3 or 3 years, figrued id stop pestering her to go out with me, then she gets a boyfriend, bit of a bummer...then i found out she really liked me and wanted to get with me but he asked first and for reason he got her. that hurts so badm still does and it was over a year ago, i will never forgive myself So ill say it too, dont miss an opportunity in life, i belive everyone deserves a second chance but it doesnt mean you will actually get one. on a more positive note id say next time you go out dont try anything drastic... keep it so that you can explain it away if you need to, be really nice to her as you already are do all the thnigs a gentle man would like you said you do. compliment the way she looks, you can easilly explain that away as a freindly thing if she asks. as albus said probe a little about this other guy but as said it doesnt seem serious. When you take her home give her the usual hug but hug her tightly, as you probably already do anyway, and then give a kiss on the cheek. That way if she likes you it could turn into a propper kiss and if not say its a friendly thing and nothing more will be said about it. Then as time goes on drop hints that you like her and then tell her one day providing everything goes smoothly! im only 17 so i dont have that much experience but just dont miss a chance!
