I am not new to programming, I have done ASP and Java before. I am learning PHP together, but I have already set my mind on getting Larry Ullman's latest PHP book from Amazon. For now, I am just reading some tutorials on the web to familiar myself with how PHP works. This is a very good guide on what you might be looking for, not to mention fun to read too because the author doesn't bore with programming code all the time, there is a twist if you will. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ But then again, I would prefer a book and Ullman is a very popular choice by a long mile. Speaking of which, I think I would go and make an order now

I always believed in life, we should be satisfied with what we are doing. It is the same for working, I want to be able to be happy when I work, and money isn't everything for me though it is the basis of why we are working in the first place. My point is that we should aim for doing what we like, not because the job is paying you huge amounts of money. With that being said, I want to be a developer, dealing with coding, be it on the web or software. I have a very strong interest in it, and I have been dealing with it everyday, theme design for WordPress together with modifying code. During my free time, I also do some freelance programming to earn some cash. I just like programming in short, it really challenges you to think really hard about how you want to achieve something. The best part about it is that it is not fixed on how something can be achieved, there are many ways to it. And sometimes, you might just discover an even better way to do something which has not been documented. At the end of everything, when you have accomplished everything, you will feel a huge sense of achievement. That is undoubtedly the biggest reward you will receive when you are done programming.

I have submitted mine, I wasn't really active in 2007, so I couldn't really expect my name to be in that list. But nonetheless, a huge congrats to all those who made it.

I used to be using Filezilla when I was on Windows but after switching to a Mac, I began to use Cyberduck, very powerful FTP program which makes uploading files onto my server a breeze. Another reason which affected my opinion of Filezilla on a Mac is the keys to delete a file from your server. It does not make use of the command + delete, instead I have to use the delete key. I wanted something familar to the OS I am using, unfortunately, Filezilla could not provide that.

Please ignore my requests, I have login to the control panel and removed my hosting with Xisto and my credits have been reseted to 0 resulting in me not posting in certain forums. I will just have to get that out of the way and hopefully soon I would be participating in more discussions.

I have been in direct contact with this person for the past few days and we have been talking a potential advertising venture together on my site, she is offering to pay me but I don't know how much of this is actually legit. She seems to have a valid email and has actually seen my site since she has quoted some of my post URLs. If payment were to be made, which would be the most safest one to get across? I was thinking of paypal but I have heard some security vulnerabilities have been exploited with that. On the case with PrivacyProtect, I have never heard of this service until I received an email from them. I had no idea that my domain was actually registered with them. That brings back to my assumption that domains registered by Xisto - Domains are automatically binded to this service. Don't you think it is a little weird that a potential advertiser is contacting me through the Whois information of my domain instead of making direct contact to me on my site where I have listed down my email?

I think domains handled by Xisto - Domains are subscribed to this service since Xisto and my site hosted under Xisto - Web Hosting are in it. Is it safe to assume that the email I receive is accurate and there is indeed a real person interested in advertising in my site? I noticed that they have some spam protection but you never know with these things which may actually turn out to be fake.

I received an email from PrivacyProtect just yesterday saying that someone is interested in a potential advertising partnership with my site. I checked the website out and it seems legit enough to believe it but I want to know what are the opinions of other trappers regarding this site? Is it bogus or something fake? From the looks of it, it simply protects your contact information and people can contact the domain owner through them. That is supposedly how the person who seem interested in advertising on my site got the email through to me. What do you think guys?

I am not trying to bash ArsTechnica but they should be testing full running versions instead of betas and on top of that, Safari is already out with 3.1 and it is funny that they used 3.0.4 beta to actually gauge the memory usage of each individual browser. With regards to memory, with tabs it is bound to have a huge load on the memory usage because of the number of pages being rendered. But I do not think Firefox would be the low-memory solution once all the extension kicks in.

Yes please do. The credits do not bother me since I am not hosted but it is always good to have a positive value.

I am having some problems logging in. I have the logout link showed to me but it still prompts me for my username and password. What could be happening here? In any case, couldn't we retain the number of credits we have if we terminate our hosting? Seems like a system flaw if my credits are reseted to 0 after terminating my hosting with Xisto.

It is a shock, it has been almost a year since I moved to Xisto - Web Hosting but I just realized that I am still in the hosted group, could I and my website (used to be http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/) kindly be removed because I am not using my Xisto account anymore and the space could be given to someone who has been contributing well on the forum and is a regular. 1 quick question: will my credits be deducted daily if I am no longer being hosted?

Your situation is very vague, I have no idea what you are asking but will try nonetheless. So you want links to be displayed in a page? To do that, you can always use CSS to align where you want your links to be displayed combined with the use of DIVs

Basically, it is using the concept of displaying a certain number of records from your database. This article should help you: http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/error.htm?aspxerrorpath=/php-mysql-paging.php

You could use a simple if else to handle this. For e.g. if the user is entering for the first time, use the insert SQL statement, if it is for subsequent visits, you can use the update statements to actually modify the existing values in the table. But then again, you have to determine whether or not the user is entering values for the first time or not.

Very nice and clean. Absolutely love the mask you put over your name, very apple-like. The only drawback I would put is the lack of styling on your text. Times New Roman is hardly the font you want to use on a website, and images and links could also be customized to suit your site's theme as well. I am not a very good designer, I just can't translate the kind of creativity designers have in my work, I am more skilled in programming and coding, though I do a lot on websites, I just don't design them.

Actually, there is a JavaScript error console in Safari but it is hidden, you need to do some modifications to make it appear. Here is the link from Apple: https://developer.apple.com/safari/ I don't see any reason why Safari should have themes, the default browser is clean, sleek and posh. It is elegantly beautiful and I won't ever get bored with Safari's appearance. The last time I used the windows version of Safari, it was 3.0 beta if memory serves me correct. After installing it, my iTunes crashed and the text display isn't as beautiful as you would get on a Mac. In anycase, I am not sure what kind of upgrades the windows version brings and whether they have fixed the iTunes crashing bug.

More often than not I would use the {} instead of the endif statement. It is just redundant in my opinion. So it would look something like this: <?php if ($number == 1) { ----some code here----}<?php>

Not sure if I understood your question right, by values do you mean what kind of datatype you need to use for your specific columns in your table? If that is the case, a good choice to use would be varchar, but then again it would be wise to set limits on the number of characters which could be stored as it would cause some huge process overhead in the long run when there are a huge number of users using this form.

The database solution is the ideal one you can look to because it is the only one which stores the user's values without being changed due to any actions on the user's part. Of course, it may take a little time to load but in the long run, that is what you are trying to achieve.

Interestingly enough, I did not receive a notification in the software update on my Mac. But probably I saw this news when I had went to work, would give it a try when I reach home later. Safari is lightning quick, the loading time is much better than FireFox and that is probably the reason why I am using it since I have gotten a Mac despite being a FireFox user for my entire Windows experience.

I am not sure about $60. I am running a blog and I am using Text-Link-Ads, I get paid whenever my posts are bought. And up till today, I have earned about $18 off them which ultimately goes into upkeeping my hosting with Xisto - Web Hosting. Of course, I only average around 25 unique visitors per day, so don't take my blog as a rough gauge of how much you are getting. The more viewership you have, the higher rank your site would have and that in a long run could probably get advertisers to buy your posts.Another way is to Smorty. You write a review and you get paid $6 instantly but then again your viewership plays a part in increasing that amount.

I think we have somehow strayed away from my initial question but I appreciate the feedback nonetheless. So do you mean to say that if I am using the SQL tables and database on my Xisto - Web Hosting account, I just need to use 'localhost' and there isn't any remote IP address I need to use? All along in my programming assignments, I have been used to connecting remotely to the server. In any case, thanks for letting me in on this minor detail.

I want to be able to connect to my site's database and not my local one. Does localhost apply to my site's database connection as well?

I am not new to programming.I want to create a form to add some values into my tables, the code are all working. But I am not sure what is the URL to connect to my site's database. All along, I have been testing through MAMP, which provides a local copy of mySQL.Can anyone lend me a hand?
