I think that the public will need to be informed about using Linux first before such a move goes. This is because Linux is not that user-friendly if you are used to working with Windows. I mean, it looks like MS-DOS, because it is text-based.But it is a step in the right direction. And also, more programs are becoming Linux-compatible, therefore it shouldn't be too much of a problem. One thing is, Internet Explorer usage will start to decline

Instead of using include, you should use require, like this: <?php require('header.php'); ?><p>Look our header has been *included* above.</p> That means if header.php isn't found, then it will generate a fatal error, which ensures that your users don't see crap such as Warning: blah blah blah cannot be found in home/some file....

I recommend using Apache better than IIS. This is because it supports PHP, MySQL as well as other technologies better than IIS. Also, IIS is only compatible with ASP and MSSQL. This is ridiculous because PHP is easier to learn and manipulate than ASP.By the way, you can't run IIS on Windows XP Home Edition, but you can on Windows 98 Second Edition.

This is excellent advice for everyone.Be honest about your site, if you aren't, why should search engines give you a higher ranking? If you want a good search engine ranking, do the right thing, make your site better and worthwhile to see and you'll actually deserve the position.

The firewall is good, it asks you if you want to Allow, Block or Allow this time if the program connecting is updated or unknown.An annoying thing of Windows Live OneCare is that you have to restart your computer approximately every day. If you don't, the status will be Red and it comes up that:Windows Live OneCare could not download required updates for your computer. Please restart your computer. If the problem persists, contact Windows Live OneCare help.After a reboot, it will be fine though. My trial period is past the halfway mark, I'll be trying a new security suite in The Quest for Internet Security.

In the Operations panel, I don't see an option to enter cron job scripts. Where do I put this in?

I changed codebase because the codebase referred to in <applet> is actually the data of the object. And if I just change the element name from <applet...> to <object...> then it will still not function properly.

For most home users, you don't even reach the threshold of your 1st NIC. For example, my NIC is 10 MB/s. My lite cable connection is at about 30-60 kb/s (usually around 50kb/s). Therefore, even if I made the connection 200 times faster, my 1st NIC can still handle the traffic.Unless you have a connection in which the speed is higher than the speed on your NIC, 1 NIC is good enough.

I have heard of MoFunZone for quite a while, I used to play the game "Playing With Fire" and "Playing with Fire 2" there. Also, my friends enjoys Waffleboy's Mountain Adventure (or whatever it is called there).You should ALWAYS have the latest free software :ph34r:I don't have much time for it now, but for a game site, I would give this site an 8.

The example field is quite small, but it does get the job done.The Web Developer Toolbar in Firefox is an essential for live CSS editing of pages (with the use of DOM of course), very efficient in seeing which selectors you can delete to make the file smaller.I don't use the widget much, because I have can do server-side file editing with HTML-Kit. Save = upload there. I don't like it though because I get too lazy to back up anything. :ph34r:I use all of the popular browsers (including some lesser-known ones), don't be fooled by my name

This was discussed before in: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/91666-topic/?findpost=1064358877 Anyways, I submitted this security threat to Secunia a few months ago, but they didn't look at it. But this could make a limited account even higher than Administrator on the computer (it doesn't work on the Guest account though, my friend tried it out). But, yeah, someone could probably remotely trigger this command. It's not that hard to start and kill a task you know?

You should make a redirect from http://www.smcsbdc.com/ to http://www.smcsbdc.com/ . This is because we should start conforming to the no-WWW Class B (if not C) level. Currently, you are at Class C right now, which by their definition is the way the Internet should be but not recommended right now. Edit the .htaccess file that you see in the public_html folder and add this somewhere: RewriteEngine OnRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (.*) http://hightradegroup.com/$1 [R=301,L] That is how I redirect my site. So if people visit http://www.smcsbdc.com/, they will automatically be redirected to http://www.smcsbdc.com/ . Hope that helps.

I remember seeing it somewhere that Windows 98 can connect a maximum of 7 monitors if you have the hardware capability, capacity or even money :ph34r:I don't think it will maximize productivity by much. A Dell infomercial said that widescreen monitors can improve productivity by up to 37%, because you can tile windows vertically but that should be sufficient. Also, with blazing fast Alt+Tab switching key combinations, you'll soon notice that there is not much difference.Although the entire process is easy, I don't think it will be necessary for gamers, home users or anyone else, unless you need hardcore 12 windows visible at once.

I personally use Microsoft Office Word but I use OpenOffice.org for other stuff like OOo Impress (equivalent of Microsoft PowerPoint).The reason is that formatting issues and etc have came up when saving OpenOffice.org documents as ".doc" and then reopening them in Microsoft Office Word at school.If I'm sure I don't need to use Microsoft Word to open the document, by all means I use OpenOffice.org Writer.OpenOffice.org is better because it is free, open-source (more secure) and compatible with a lot more file formats than Microsoft Office software. Also, file sizes are a bit smaller when saving the same document in OpenDocument format (slightly, only sometimes?).I'm ready to use both if necessary

I know the attributes for <object>. I just don't know what to put in which attribute where.Here is the original code that the site gives you: <table border=0 width=500 align=center><tr><td><applet archive="http://http://www.freejavachat.com/java/cr.zip; codebase="http://http://www.freejavachat.com/java/; name=cr code="ConferenceRoom.class" width=500 height=300> (some alternate text)</applet></td></tr></table><br><center><a href="http://http://www.freejavachat.com/ Chat</a> provided by freejavachat.com</center> The main thing in there is the <applet>. I tried using: <object archive="http://http://www.freejavachat.com/java/cr.zip; data="http://http://www.freejavachat.com/java/; name='cr' codebase="ConferenceRoom.class" style="width:500px;height:300px"> (some alternate text)</object> But it doesn't seem to work.I have tried some other combinations of the <object> attributes but I haven't been able to get it right.

That looks kind of like one of my first web pages. A few things that would make it better: 1. A solid background! 2. Valid HTML 4.01 Frameset (at least!) 3. Actually, it should get into XHTML 1.0 Strict and don't use frames at all! 4. Better organization of navigation 5. A better use of images and color. I don't think it will ever conform to WAI Priority 2 but it will definately be better if it is fixed. On http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/, I really didn't get how that #1 site sucked. It had nothing on it!

I already use that method to incorporate Flash into my pages. I need help implementing a Java applet, not a Flash object. It doesn't work that way, I already tried it.

I have a Java Applet for a chat room that is using the <applet> tag. It looks like it was from HTML 3.2 but I am using XHTML 1.1 (application/xhtml+xml), so I have to use the <object> element.For now I have forced that page to load as XHTML 1.0 Transitional in text/html MIME type because I don't know how to fix the problem. I have tried many suggestions from many sites but they don't work in Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera (some of them are IE-only but they still don't work in IE).Is there any way that the <object> element can be implemented with cross-browser compatibility? I thought it would be as easy as <object> for Flash, but I guess not.

I give Runescape a 2 out of 5.The graphics aren't that bad actually.The game doesn't really do anything and you get bored of it quickly. I stopped playing it a few months ago (probably almost a year) and have never stopped to visit their site again.The customer support is quite poor, they never responded to an email for improvements.It is quite slow loading, even with my broadband connection. The recommended worlds are actually not what I would recommend. They are the slowest worlds you can play in.The game progresses way too slowly because you have to explore a lot (time-consuming) to progress in the game.

I need an operation that involves increasing the MySQL field value of all records by 1 every 15 or 30 minutes. Since hundreds or thousands of records are present, there must be an automatic script/program that can do this. Think in terms of game sites which increase your army/gold every update. Basically I'm doing the same thing.How do I setup my database/table to do that?

Thank you! That automatically made it work! I thought variable names didn't need to be enclosed in quotes, but I guess it is necessary when you have them in MySQL functions. Now I need to add about 30-50 some more fields! :ph34r:Topic solved.

I am deciding to make a Multiplayer Online RPG type game. I will be building it off of PHP and MySQL to ensure makimum compatibility with Xisto's services (and it makes it easier ). I have a database setup with 1 table to hold user data and I have the login system setup properly as well as the registration form (obviously). All games of course have something similar to gold, units and points. Because this is a turn-based game, I have turns. Now for the problem: I am trying to echo the points, gold and turns to the main page of the game. I tried using mysql_result, mysql_fetch_array and also mysql_fetch_assoc. It doesn't work. Here is my code: <?phprequire("db_connect.php");$username = $_COOKIE['xtech_user'];$zbits = mysql_query("SELECT `zbits` FROM `players` WHERE `username`=$username");while($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($zbits)) { echo "zBits: " . $row1['zbits'] . " | "; }$turns = mysql_query("SELECT `turns` FROM `players` WHERE `username`=$username");while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($turns)) { echo "zTurns: " . $row2['turns'] . " | "; }$zpoints = mysql_query("SELECT `zpoints` FROM `players` WHERE `username`=$username");while($row3 = mysql_fetch_array($zpoints)) { echo "zPoints: " . $row3['zpoints'] . " "; }mysql_close();?> The required file is the database connection file, it is just a $con variable along with mysql_connect and mysql_select_db("gameDatabase",'$con'). I use that for everypage that requires a MySQL connection. I store the username in a cookie, so therefore I will retrieve the cookie value and put it in the variable $username. Now I want to get a column (field) value from the players table where the username is what that was declared in the cookie variable. When I run the mysql_query in the mysql_fetch_array, this error occurs: Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/portal/public_html/game/head.php on line 13 Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/portal/public_html/game/head.php on line 18 Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/portal/public_html/game/head.php on line 23 I don't know what is causing this! I tried using SELECT * also, but the same error comes up. I would like to get this working soon. Please help with this.

Many sites have a ~780px layout because it fits well with a 800x600px resolution monitor. The problem is that I want the whole thing centered in the middle of the screen with equal margins at the sides. My CSS is at (Gone, this was MY site - 404)http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and as you would probably guess, my site is at (Gone, this was MY site - 404)http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ It is centered in Gecko (Firefox) browsers, but in Internet Explorer it isn't centered. No matter what I use, whether it is a container <div> or centering the <html> and <body> elements, it just doesn't work in Internet Explorer I use a table for layout (yes, I know it is a bad habit) and I serve my pages text/html to IE and application/xhtml+xml to Firefox and Opera. Maybe that might be the problem? NOTE: This problem was also posted in the W3Schools forum, but no one found a solution yet

Sure! You can even apply CSS when designing and previewing your site in your own browser. CSS is compatible with almost every browser (although not fully complaint) but whatever works on your PC, works on everyone else's (unless they disabled CSS).
