  1. Html cannot handle somthing like a forum becasue you need a database, with php it can access your databases (mysql) and then take that information and display it on the site. Eg this forum, each post is a database entry being shown to you in a php based environment. Html makes a static site which to have anything changed, eg having a new post, would require you to add it in the code, however with php you can have a form (the add reply form) which will enter your post into the database (,mysql) and will be shown on the forum.What i would reccomend is downloading some free web templates which are basicaly websites ready made which you can change to your liking and look at the code, you will get the hang of it through that, if you dont understand somthing check on w3schools
  2. I have realised how bad i am at php all i tryed to do was add a county line and it doesnt work! Here is the code: .Htm<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>RC Track Information Form</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><!-- This is very plain and boring but you can easilly change the layout and colours, if you need help im sure I can give it and so can many other people at Xisto :-) --><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><form action=submittrackdirectory.php method=POST> <!-- submit.php can be changed to a different name if you need to. --><table border=0 cellpadding=0 rows=35%> <!-- for alignment purposes--><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><TR><TD>Name of Track:</td><td> <input type=text size=70 name=trackname align=center></td><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><TR><TD><b><u> Track Address </u></b></TR></TD><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><TR><TD>Street Address (First line only):</td><td> <input type=text size=100 name=streetaddr></td></tr><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><TR><TD>Town:</td><TD> <input type=text size=40 name=town></td><tr><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><TR><TD>County:</td><td><input type=text size=40 name=county></td><tr><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><TR><TD>Country:</td><td><input type=text size=40 name=country></td></tr><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><TR><TD>Postal/ZIP Code:</td><TD><input type=text size=15 name=postal></td></tr><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><TR><TD><BR><B><U>Contact Details</b></u></td></tr><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><TR><TD>Track Email address:</td><td><input type=text size=40 name=email></td></tr><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><TR><TD>Track Website:</td><td><input type=text size=40 name=website></td></tr><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><TR><TD><B><U>Track Description</B></U></td></tr><TR><TD><BR></td></tr><TR><TD>Description:</td><TD><textarea rows=10 cols=60 name="description"></textarea></tr></table><BR><BR><p align=center><input type=submit value="Submit"></form></p>[.php]<?// this page proccesses the information from the information form and gives an output which the user will see.//first get and set variables from POST$streetaddr = stripslashes($_POST['streetaddr']);$trackname = stripslashes($_POST['trackname']);$town = stripslashes($_POST['town']);$county = stripslashes($_POST['county']);$country = stripslashes($_POST['country']);$postal = stripslashes($_POST['postal']);$preemail = stripslashes($_POST['email']);$email= str_replace('@', '@', $preemail);//stops spambots finding email address and spamming the address$website = $_POST['website'];$description = $_POST['description'];// got variables so do something with them. make an output for the user as a html document//but first check if there is a website for this trackif($website == NULL) {$web = "There is no official website for this track at the moment.";} else {$web="This track also has an official website located at:";}//Now we can tell the user if the website exsists before we try to give them a URL$html = "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>RC Track Information For $trackname</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><!-- again colours and layout can be easilly changed! --><BR><p align=center><h4><U>$town, $county, $trackname</h4></u></p><BR><B><U>Track location details</B></U><BR><p align=left>This track is located at $streetaddr in $town, $county, $country, $postal.<BR><BR><B><U>Track contact details</B></U><BR><BR>The track email address for primary contact is: $email<BR><BR>$web <a href=$website target=new_window>$website</a><BR><BR><B><U>Track description</B></U><BR><BR><HR><PRE>$description</PRE><HR></p></body></HTML>";echo $html;?> But it seems as though it doesnt understand the new field and gets it confused with the town field/variable. What have i done wrong?
  3. $2 per day is good, mine makes basicaly nothing per day, it gets views but basicaly no clicks which is annoying. $4000 per day from adsence is amazing. They must get alot of click, alot of clicks. Wow
  4. The only time i have been hacked was by my friend who saw my password, that night he went on and added products to my shop including a "sack of $?%^" and a "Pickeled horse testicle" i saw this the next day and immedetely changed the products and my password. He isnt much of a computer guy and didnt understand what kind of damage that can cause, my site with those products on reciever a few hundred views and probably all those people will not/have not come back. I was extremely pi$$ed off with him
  5. It will load faster with Xisto geocities is always slow especialy since your site is using flash.
  6. Excluding the hosting (it took a long time to load) and the content aside (i dont understand dutch) i would give it a high 8What could be improvedThe blue bar to the right in my opinion should be extended down to the bottom of the pageThe title welcome to easy euros is in white on the blue background is quite difficult to see, mabe change it to grayLast thing is i realy like those flash animations in the title bar but i did not immediately notice them, i would make them a bit bolder. What did you make them with?
  7. I just saw that list of mods they have installed. all i can say is $?%" i about 1 week ago installed my phpbb the lazy way through fantastico and ever since then have been manualy installing mods, some of which are in those lists, is there any way i can upgrade without having to install the mods again which arnt included with that fully modded version???
  8. Shadow you understand completely that is exactely what i want, i havve also been looking for a way on google but i cant seem to find one but im sure there is a way to do it and somone on here knows i am sure
  9. That is very very good shadow and very very nice of you to do that, the only think that needs modifieng is what it outputs the title as since we have to have it by town first so when people are looking through the posts alpibeticaly (how it is going to be) they can find their towns track. thank you very much your help is greatly appriciated.P.S. as an added not realy neccesary perk is there a way that i could add in the code so that it would automaticaly copy and paste what comes out of the form into a post on the forum?

    Forums?

    What you can do is have a php based forum and use a portal, they usuly dont come with the forum but is a mod/hack you can add on, a portal looks somthing like this (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/) as you can see on the right there is a navigatiion bar which you can put links to anything in.OrYou can code it so that you create a navigation bar in html and then put the whole php based forum next to it. I cant realy exokain that well but basicaly if you are using frontpage (i know you are using dreamweaver but i have never had any experience with it) you would drag a cell and then enter the html code link to your forum. Im not sure if that makes sence, sorry
  11. Add it to forum directories and have links in your signature on all the forums you are on, i am in a similar situations with my forum (10th aug 2006) http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/, you could also use a forum promotion company who do payed posting services (since nobody likes an empty forum) also paying members to post Eg First 5 registered users once they reach 200 posts will recieve $20 Or somthing similar to that.Hope this helps some, any other ideas from other members will help me also since my forum is just starting out aswell
  12. I think that they wont make a console but they will make a handheld media device, maybe branded xbox
  13. Buffalo or opaque or someone please could you revert my domain back to simcards-r-us.co.uk, it is creating too many problems Ok i just changed my domain and made it default using trap 17 proccess page and now i cant add an addon domain, i am concerned because i have 2 other websites hosted off this account using addon domains and they are not appearing on the cpanel but they do have folders and are currently working. When i try to use the addon domain tool i get this error. EDIT Now my whole site isnt working, i have it all thearoticaly correct but when i try to access the files eg defaultsiteindex.php it doesnt work! I need help EDIT 2 Figured somthing out, my site is only available if you go to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ how do i fix this!?
  14. I like it but have been having a few problems perticuly in excel with graphs. I have also had one problem with word when it currupted the document and i had to retrieve it using winzip and taking it piece by piece, my advice is back up your work as much as possable.When is frontpage 2007 beta coming out?EDIT Ohh i see sharepoint replaces frontpage, is there a way i can download that for free since i have the rest of office beta?
  15. Basicaly that us correct, what i want is a form saying Name of track (____) Address of track Street address (____) Town (____) County (____) Post code (____) Track website (______) Track Email address (_____) Track description (_____) Obviousily i want the boxes much bigger than i implicated, and the description box to be multi line. Then what i want it to do is take that information and put it all in the description box And i want the title box like this Town, county, name of track Any idea how to code that anybody? Im lost
  16. Ok i did that with my signature by accident fixed now Anyway what i wanted to do is for the posts to be taken to what used to be portal.php and now is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ but i have diched that idea now and what i want now is to make a form similar to the trap 17 free webhosting request form but i dont know how to go about it. Is there a generator or somthing because i realy dont know how to code it.
  17. Well i have kindof diched the elaborite idea of moving the posts to a directory but i would like to do a form similar to trap17s free web hosting application form, could somone guide me on how to go about this?
  18. At my school in england we had to choose 5 classes to take along with the "essentials" which are English, Maths, i.t., r.s., p.e. and games. But of the classes you have to take one language and one science (or combined science)
  19. Games - Xbox 360 has a much better veriety of games at present Cost - Xbox 360 is cheaper Graphics - From the Real ps3 graphics both consoles graphics are about the same Power - Yes the ps3 has more power Screen Resolution - Same for both of them Online Capabilities - Xbox has xbox live Xbox 360- 3 PS3 - 1 Draw- 2 I like my xbox 360 and i think the ps3 is very overrated. Just my opinion
  20. Are there going to be more catagories added or is it just going to be a directory of music and programming because i would like to add my sites but they dont fit into any of those catagories.
  21. I like Project gotham 3, call of duty 2 and test drive unlimited (not out yet but the demo is amazing)
  22. Well not realy basicly i want it to convert posts and add it to the "track directory" which i named portal.php
  23. Ok here is what i want, i want it to take the posts off of http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ then take that information and put it on http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ in alphibetical order with just the title of the post which is a link to the text ripped off the post on http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Eg. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Title of post = Example city, Example track title Content of post = This is description Blah blah blah blah ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  24. I havnt seen this posted but i wanted to look at how the forms were constructed etc. but found that the forms arent working.
  25. For information there are alot of exotic pets forums (I was going to get a bearded dragon) as for names i think server has a great pair. I like this, it is quite helpful. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ It has full schedules and keeps track of cage cleaning, food dusting etc.
