file:/// and http:// are different protocols. When you say file:/// it will automatically search the file system on the computer for the path. When you say http:// it will assume that it's a file on the internet. It's just how stuff is recognized- http:// doesn't work because C:\ isn't a website.

Have an archaic or really new term that you can't find the definition for? You can search "define:(word)" to search for some definitions of it. It also gets definitions from multiple sources, including encyclopedias, so you get a lot of information on an otherwise unfindable word (including slang and common internet acronyms).

Raises an interesting question, though-Does inactivity have anything to do with your site staying up, or is it only the number of hosting credits you have?

I like heartless creations - it sounds like it could have several interpretations.

That's not what I said. I said that if you're going to close the php tag in the middle of an if statement, use a colon and endif instead of brackets.

As for the images, if you're going to close the PHP tags and do other stuff I'm relatively certain you need a colon ( instead of braces ({}) <?phpif($x == 1):?>something...something...<?phpelse:?>something...something...<?phpendif;?>

Someone on my bus last year said "The school sure looks different when you can't see it."I should have more but I'm braindead right now.

I'm not sure I completely understand, but I think you could do this: 1. Get the data from the form ($a = $_POST['a']; $b = $_POST['b'] 2. Redirect with the data in the url (header("Location: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;);http://forums.xisto.com/ die;) 3. Use $_GET to get the data ($a = $_GET['a']; $b =$_GET['b']

Did you read it? The first and last letters have to be in the right place.

For one thing, bgsound only works in IE. If you want something for multiple browsers, use embed: <embed src="music.mp3" width="0%" height="0%"></embed>

For Cox Webmail users: 1. Click "Options" 2. Click the button that says "Display" 3. Find "Message Headers" 4. Select "Full" 5. Click "OK" at the bottom

I'm making my own forum right now. It's reminiscent of the old GameFAQs layout and a site that must not be named, but it's not quite done yet. It's also really simple because it's my first big PHP project, but I'll probably just steadily add stuff on as I think of new things. http://echo.cx/ http://echo.cx/ http://echo.cx/ http://echo.cx/

My school pwns. We're pretty famous, the best public high school in the U.S. You might've heard of The Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology Governor's School of Northern Virginia. Bragging aside, though, I love it. All the people are nice, and a lot of the really nerdy kids are considered cool. We have a lot of freedom, because apparently smart kids are also responsible (cough). There are also a lot of programming courses, and we have a UNIX lab and a supercomputer (we won one, then it broke, then we begged CRAY for a new one until they broke down). We don't get as much homework as everyone says we do, either.

A job in straight programming isn't usually the best idea. Programmers are a dime a dozen. Some might know how to do a specific task better than others, but usually programmers are expendable. Not doing your job well? Your company could probably go get a kid of the street who'd do it just as well or better for less money.But that being said, programming is an important tool. For most jobs now a days, some knowledge of computers and programming is a must, but it should be seen more as a way to do parts of your job, not your job itself.It's just that given enough time, pretty much anyone could be taught to program, and most programs could only be made in a couple ways.

Also, if your site it pushing it (like mine - beeseven.trap17.com - trying viewing it in IE and you get 2 scroll bars), but you know nothing goes offscreen that you need, you can use "overflow: hidden;" and it won't put the scroll bars there even if something goes off (or it thinks something does).

Ahh, DOS, back in the good old days. So what if I was like 4 when died, I still used it anyway, I'm just that h4rdc0r3. The registry method worked, thanks for that snlildude87. And I don't really worry about my computer pwning itself, I'm pretty good about it and my neighbor is like this tech support guy at a big company.

Something's wrong with your code. That happens to me a lot, too. I can usually fix it by just messing around with how I do the query. It's also sometimes a problem with variables getting lost. Try making it echo the query ($query = etc.; mysql_query($query); echo $query;) to see if it's doing it right.

You can use a BLOB or TEXT, but to specify length you'd have to check it in the PHP. Actually, all the length does is specify a cutoff point. If you put "abcdefghijk" into a VARCHAR(5), it'll be stored as "abcde".

I meant for the shutdown to automatically end something, but it makes sense that it'd do it when shutting down no matter what >_>As for the autoexec, we'll see tomorrow if it worked--I'm too lazy to try it now.

When I start Apache, it runs in a new window that just sits there. Is it possible to make it run in the background or system tray?

How can I get stuff to automatically happen with XP Pro? I tried putting stuff in AUTOEXEC.BAT, but it didn't happen. Is there some environment variable that I can edit or something I have to change to get AUTOEXEC to work, or is there another file that would have the same effect? Also, is there something like that for shutting the computer down--that will automatically do/stop stuff on shutdown?

One thing you could do is save all that in another file, then use the PHP include statement: <?phpinclude 'table.html';?>

Are you kidding? Reading makes you a boring geek? I know someone who reads whenever she has 5 seconds to spare and she's the least boring person I have ever met.I don't think you were trying to start a war or anything, but it seems like you've certainly gotten people to talk.

The explode worked, but \n didn't. I made it do nl2br and then explode the <br />'s. Thanks for the idea, though.

Bah, same here. I was actually planning on working on stuff, too.
