Hmm, since when does a fire start after a hurricane?? One would think that the night one would have loads of water all over the place, but the exact opposite thing happened.

Hmm, doesn't stuff automatically stop when you're shutting down your computer? I mean, ultimately, they will shutdown anyway, right?I know a way to make your autoexec.bat run when you first start your computer if you're interested:Open your registry editor -> My Computer -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Current Version -> Run -> Right click on right pane -> New -> String Value -> Type "autoexec" -> Right click on "autoexec" -> Modify -> Type "c:\autoexec.bat"

Toi la nguoi Vietnam, nhung ma tien Viet cuoi toi khong co duc gioi lam I moved to the US when I was in the second grade, so that's why it's not very good.

Nice! I might actually used that for my site if you can make a smaller version or a vertical version because I've been trying to have some sort of banner to put on my site to give back to Xisto...Good job!

Hmm, I thought it was NYC in the final quarter of the 2001, but the file name says "chicagonightlife4rq.png"... Anyways, I like the first one better because it looks vibrant and uplifting while the second one represents the aftermath of a very horrible event...

That's all right If this tutorial becomes popular, and people start adding their own little snippets like you, then I'll add those to the end of my tutorial to make one big tutorial

I don't use shoutboxes on my site because it seems unprofessional. Instead, I just have a big chatroom... Anyways, there are plenty of shoutboxes out there, and Google can help you find the right one.

In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to test your PHP pages without the Internet or uploading the files to your Xisto server. This tutorial is similar to doom's, but the links he provided does not work, so I decided to make my own tutorial with working links. The program that I will be using for this tutorial is called XAMPP. XAMPP is a modification of the popular Apache server, and I'm using XAMPP because of its simplicity to install as well as maintain. The current version of XAMPP is 1.4.13 and it has the following bundled in the download: The Blurb Every web site on the internet, including your website at Xisto, is hosted on some sort of server. What is a server you ask? A server is basically a central processing unit (CPU), similar to the one you have next to you, that has a program installed, usually Apache or its variants. The main job of the server is to serve up web pages for you to enjoy. How do I get a XAMPP? Simple. The following are direct links to download XAMPP from various servers: * https://sourceforge.net/publish/ * http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ * https://sourceforge.net/publish/ * http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ * https://sourceforge.net/publish/ * http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ * http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ * http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ * http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ * http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ * https://sourceforge.net/publish/ * http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ * http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ If one doesn't work, try the others. Once you have downloaded XAMPP (25 MB), run the installer and install it in c:\apachefriends. Whatever name you choose, you have to keep in mind that XAMPP has to be in an upper directory, so c:\program files\apachefriends will not work. Congratulations! You now have your very own non-working server on your computer. Make it Work - The Harder Way Go to My Computer -> C: -> apachefriends -> xampp if you chose to install it in the apachefriends directory. You should see several files and folders in the xampp folder. The first thing to remember is not to get intimidated because the file names are very descriptive, so they're easy to understand. To start your server, find the file name called "php-switch.bat" and double click on it. Type "5" (without quotes), so the window should look somewhat like this: CONSOLE #----------------------------------------------------------------------# # Copyright © 2002-2004 Apachefriends # #----------------------------------------------------------------------# # Authors: Kay Vogelgesang <kvo@apachefriends.org> # # Oswald Kai Seidler <oswald@apachefriends.org> # ######################################################################## The working version in XAMPP is => PHP 5 <= The verwendete Version in XAMPP ist => PHP 5 <= Type number or 'x' (exit) for selecting your choice! Gebe nun Nummer oder 'x' (exit) zum auswaehlen ein! 4) Switching to PHP 4 (zu PHP 4 wechseln) x) Exit (Beenden) 5_ You now have PHP running on your computer! Now, press any key to exit that window. To get Apache running on your computer, find the file called "apache_start.bat". You now have Apache running on your computer. Congratulations! The most important part is running or testing PHP scripts on your computer. Making it Work - The Easier Way Go to your My Computer -> C: -> apachefriends -> XAMPP -> Double click on xampp-control.exe (should be the last file in that directory) -> Click the first two "Start" buttons (the last two are optional) -> Click on the X on the top right hand corner of the application. Congratulations! You have just started Apache with PHP and MySQL on your computer in less than 5 minutes, and best of all, the big black console/DOS screen is not there. Running PHP Scripts on your Computer Go to your xampp folder which should already by opened. Find the folder called "htdocs" and double click on that. Right click inside that folder -> New -> Text Document ( )-> Rename the new file to "testphp.php" (without quotes) -> Click Yes -> Double click on testphp.php -> Type:<?php echo "Whee, PHP!"; ?>Save the file (Ctrl + S). Open your favorite browser and type in "LOCALHOST/testphp.php" in the address bar. If you see "Whee, PHP!", then you did everything right! If not, then either I screwed up or you did not follow my instructions. Post whatever problems you have and I'll try to fix it. You can also allow friends to see your PHP script. Simply find your IP address, and give them this URL: http://youripaddress/testphp.php. If your friend complains that it's taking forever, chances are you have a slow internet connection. The faster your internet connection -> the faster your friends will be able to view the pages hosted on your computer. Now you know why most servers demand a fast internet connection such as T1. Closing Apache Go back to the xampp folder and find a file called "apache_stop.bat" and click on it. Apache is now turned off on your computer! Frequently Asked Questions Q: Will .htaccess work?A: Yes! Open a new file in Notepad and save it as a ".htaccess" file. Now, go to your File Manager in your cPanel. Go into the public_html folder and find a file named .htaccess. Click on it. On the right pane, you will see a list of things you can do with that file. Click on Edit File and a window should pop up. Copy everything in that box and paste it in the opened Notepad. Save Notepad (Ctrl + S). Q: Why is .htaccess important? A: No, but you can do some pretty cool stuff with it. For example, you can make custom 404 pages or, my favorite, you can make your server treat a file name of your choice to parse as PHP, so a file ending in .html will be parsed as a PHP script. This is really cool because it gives members the impression that your site is edited by hand. Q: How do I make my server parse .html files as a .php file? A: Make a .htaccess file as shown in the first question in this FAQ. Append this line to your .htaccess file: AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm In fact, ".html .htm" in the code above can be anything your heart desires. You can go all out and replace ".html .htm" with ".yourname", so pages ending in ".yourname" will be parsed as if it were a PHP script. You can also make your server parse files with no extensions as a PHP script. Just append this line to your .htaccess file:DefaultType application/x-httpd-php I like this, too, because it looks as if you store EVERY page in different folders. Q: Can't I just exit out of Apache without clicking on apache_stop.bat? A: NO! For some reason, this is very bad and will cause problems. apache_stop.bat has to run in order to shut down Apache correctly. [hr=noshade][/hr] That's all for now! Remember, if you have any questions about this tutorial, feel free to post it, and I'll do my best to answer it. Edit: Added "Making it Work - The Easier Way"

Hey venom! Welcome to Xisto! Go here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ for a visual tutorial on how you can check how many credits you have. Enjoy your stay at the forum and don't spam, or else I'd have to ban you

Yeah, I remember this, too. We were in the movie theaters, and all of a sudden, Kate Winslet's clothes came off, and I was like, "oh man, get me out of here" because my parents were there. They were not sitting close to me, but they were there nonetheless. If I'm watching a movie where someone talks about sex, and my parents walk in, I just get up. That way, they can't say anything because I did not see the scene. Once it's over, I go back to the TV and continue watching normally These scenes, or the entire movie altogether (if you know what I mean), are not meant to be watched with another person or else you get this awkward feeling.

That's exactly why a lot of Christians voted for Bush instead of Kerry in the November election - Bush has better moral values then Kerry.

As you know, there are quite a few websites out there, some are professional while others are not so professional. This is where you come in. Have you ever been to a website where it was so bad that you had to use your hands to cover the annoying content? I know I had. This website that I visited today, in my opinion, tops the list in annoying websites. The links (and there are a lot of them) blinks. That's right, this author uses the <blink> tag so all links blink. Because of this technique, the majority of the site is very hard to read which is why I nominate http://www.w3.discoveryvip.com/3w/ as the most annoying website. What is the most annoying site that you've visisted? Post it here and we'll all laugh at it.

I think it would because when I submitted my site, it took quite a while to see my name in Google, too. Anyways, if you don't want to appear in Google, you can always put a noindex meta tag between your <head> tags: <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

Hmm, did you by any chance submit your site to a search engine?

Yeah, you have a spyware on your computer by going to questionable sites. I know this because a guy in my computer programming class has the same problem - a window pops up even when Internet Explorer is not opened.You can try to get rid of it by scanning your computer for viruses or downloading a spyware/adware removal program.

Completely removing Internet Explorer from your computer is not recommended because there are some Windows component that still uses Internet Explorer, so if you get rid of Internet Explorer, then Windows will not function correctly.Also, there are some sites that will only work in Internet Explorer such as ASP web sites, so if you uninstall Internet Explorer, then you will not be able to see that site.

Yes, you are able to have streaming music on your site ONLY if it's not copyrighted. We don't want to have a lawsuit on our back because all member sites will be in danger.

Hmm, DivX should work...what is the exact error that you are getting? Post a screenshot of the dialog box error.If that doesn't work, you can try downloading K-Lite Codec (search on Google for it, and it's free so don't worry about paying), and that should work because I have the Codec pack, but I don't have DivX, and I'm able to play .avi files.
