I think this could look real good if you just use the left navigation links without the cut and repeat of the C4D render. I personally think its an over kill to do that. The layout is good as for the main render on the right hand covering below the content you can have a boarded layer with some transparent background to cover the render for a glassy/transparent look. I think if you come up with a great border it will work. that way you can keep the full size of the render but it wont get in the way of content. You dont want to lower the content just to keep the render because it wont look right if its offset too much down.the footer will work with the current design. Also is this going to be a fixed width? probably easier if it was but if it was expandable it would be neat. good job just those two things I think needs changes.

I was in your shoes a few years ago, I ended up buying a book and went through the tutorials in them. It helped but then I was way to busy and never even did any PHP for a year or 2 and then I never progressed. The only advice I can give you is keep doing it. Thats how I improved, You know the old saying hard work really pays off and it does. You may not pick it up in a few days/weeks/months but you will pick it up eventually. And also if your stumped you can always post here.Good luck.

You can control what gets processed in index.php by taking the tagged get variables at the end of the URL and using it in your code.For example if you have a file called index.php

<?php$do = $_GET['do'];if($do == 'option1'){ // do what ever you need to be done here}else if($do == 'option2'){  // do what ever you need to be done here}?>?>

so now you can make links that go to index.php and add controls to it by adding to the end of the URLi.e index.php?do=dothis

I have to say I'm not a big fan of hers and I'm sick of hearing about her on the news. You might say its not her fault shes losing her kids if its not then who's fault is it? If you have kids that should be your first priority in life and obvious it wasn't for her if it got to the point where shes going to lose custody. I think hes very talented and a good artist/performer but I don't like her for anything else to be honest. She was fat at one stage and when I saw that video I think it was called gimme more lol I almost throw up in my mouth. Flabs everywhere.

I use VLC player because it plays most formats and a lot quicker to load up than default quicktime player from mac. Quicktime for me is sluggish and buggy. Maybe it was because I had so little ram. I have not tested it out again yet but it was like that when I only had 512MB memory, now I have 2GB of memory so yeah its a huge difference. too bad thats the max my macbook pro can handle my mates one is 17inch model and can support 4GB.I've got other players as well like Divx player and Real player but they don't play a lot of formats so I always end up back using VLC player.

wow running at 1950MHz for GDDR3. I didn't they got up to that speed already.. amazing. I am definitely building me a gaming machine with one of these when I get the money. about 3000 grand would build me a nice system I think (keeps dreaming) something with dual video card a must.Anyway thanks for the heads up.

I highly doubt laptops today are housing their graphics cards/chip in a slot where you can take them out and replace them easily. I think the room is not big enough to house such mechanisms. I think they are just mounted on the main mother board them selves I could be wrong. The only thing I know for sure that you can take out are the memory, hard disk drives, some cd roms. they all got be replaced with the same interface/connection/size, type of device.Oh yeah another thing too is if they were replaceable then you would see them being sold. i.e Radeon mobile Graphics Card xxx amount of dollars, but you don't so thats probably the case.

I like the overall design its pretty solid. The banner is great. CC fan huh lol, its a great game I loved it too back in the days. Great job!.

In effect what your using kansuke is a template. Thats what how I do my webpages at the moment. The only improvements that I think you can make are include the full HTML in your layout.php. That way you can contorl everything such as headings, javascripts includes, CSS. now when you need to make changes to the site you just edit the layout.php template and it will affect your whole website.when you use it you can create a page (example.php) and pass it variable specific to that page.

example.php$title$content = "example_content.php" (I always do this as in include in the actual template)include('layout.php');

So first thing you would do is create a plain HTML layout you like and set where you content and items will be. Then identifiy what changes and make place holders in your template for it. Then when you are happy with it you turn it into a PHP file being the templat you will use for all your pages.Now when you need a page or extra one you just create one and pass it the variables appropriate to it. Heres an example of my index.php page

<?phpsession_start();include('includes/db.php');$title = "Welcome";$location = "index.php";$content = "includes/home_content.php";include('_core.php');?>

and heres my tempate

<?php/*Core template==============$titleinclude('menu_list.php');$content*/$title = $title." - Si Web Portfolio";echo"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN\" \"http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ xmlns=\"http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\" /><title>$title</title><script type='text/javascript' src='js/si.js'></script><link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"main.css\" /></head><body>   <!-- Begin Wrapper -->   <div id=\"wrapper\">         <!-- Begin Header -->         <div id=\"header\">		 	<div id=\"header_leftside\"></div>		 	<div id=\"header_rightside\"></div>		 			<div id=\"header_center\">				<div id=\"header_logo\"></div>			</div>		 </div>		 <!-- End Header -->	 		  <!-- Begin sub_heading -->         <div class=\"container\">    		<div id=\"sh_center\">    			<div id=\"sh_block\">    				<img src=\"images/si_15.png\" alt=\"\" />    			</div>		    		</div>    		<div id=\"sh_left\"></div>    		<div id=\"sh_right\"></div>		</div>		 <!-- End sub_heading -->		 			<!-- MAIN CONTENT -->		<div id=\"content_container\">			<div id=\"leftsidebar\" class=\"leftbar\">				<div id=\"left_nav_container\">							<ul class=\"navigation\">";					// include menu list					include('menu_list.php');				echo"				</ul>				</div>				<div id=\"left_nav_footer\"></div>		    </div>  		  <div id=\"maincontent\" class=\"centerbar\"> 	      		<div id=\"center_content\">"; 	      			// include Content					if($content != "")					include($content);					else					{	// default notice						echo"<h1>No content</h1>";						echo"<p>";							echo"There has been no content added in this section yet.

Hope this gives you some ideas on how to do things. Theres always more then one ways to do something but what ever is easier for you and works should be good enough. This is the method I have just picked up while doing websites. I used to copy and paste the whole layout to each page not too long ago lol.

Wow.. All the games there look amazing, I will probably get one or a few of those games when they are out. Time to save money no more coffee, eating out, taking a bath and anything else that cost unnecessary money :E. They will probably end being 100 dollars or more here when when they come out. Thats kinda sad considering our exchange rate to the rest of the world is getting better. My definite picks that I'll get for sure are Starcraft 2 and Final Fantasy XIII. What ever comes out first I'll be getting asap. The rest look ok but I'll just wait and borrow it off a friend if they own it, or maybe even rent just to try out.Thanks for sharing the links it was awesome.

One of my dads friend reckons that it will be since the Chinese are becoming a more developed country and they are doing more business more and more with more people around the world. He even went on to say things like screw other languages go learn Cantonese or some other Chinese language. It was something along the lines of that anyway. Now this is coming from a non Chinese person (Hes white) but I don't know anything about business of economics so I don't know. With more news reports of china appearing on news about their development it does seem to make sense. They are a country with so many people. So imagine you sell a product to only .5% of the population you'd still make millions? that depends on the product of course but yeah they have so many people its insane. Cheap labor and high productivity I know of one guy indirectly who gets work done in china for dirt cheap and hes a million air here. He just has an idea and gets designers to design it then gets it built in china. One product I know of was his spanner apparently it was a super spanner that did not break and could grab any nut. The other was those boats they use to shoot movies in the water. It was large enough and stable to hold their camera and what ever gear. I know some Chinese people who go to my university they are rich. You gotta be to be paying for international studies. Theres so many of them. Yeah so go China.

I think this code will do it

<?phpheader("location: newlocationname.php");?>

Yeah that does not sound right, I know there are so many crocked businesses out there. When rules or ethical practices aren't followed like this that gets to me. I'm sorry for your loss but like truefusion said it may pay to try and get some of your money back. You have nothing to lose other then a few minutes of your time talking to them?good luck with getting your money back.

sorry to hear about your loss dude, but its too late I have already won . by the way....

 

 

I dont know what it's called but I came across it somewhere.. cant remember that either lol. anywhere here it is and this is what i use

echo"<span class='header'>Title</span> {$rs['title']}";

if I don't use the {} around the array/resource, it won't work. hope that helps ya out and if anyone can shed some light on its former name and use of the {} in this case, it would be appreciated.

Thats strange that we get PHP 5.2 with free hosting but you guys who pay for hosting don't get it. Maybe its something to do with upgrading procedures, the risk of something going wrong during it and affect your hosting account too great ? I dunno just something I thought about.Maybe we are the test dummies at Xisto with php 5.2?

Thank you for the links. I've download and in the process of trying out bambooinvoice. it looks promising and easy on the eyes. Update: - Tried BaboonInvoice This is a very neat little package. I love it its so simple to use and has nice reports on all aspects of invoice. You can see which ones are opened and find them easily. Its PHP and MySQL based and allows a neat backup. The only down side is it doesn't include any payroll facilities. I guess I will keep this one and let my brother use it for his solo business and I'll keep looking for another one with payrolls.

At my university we have some experts running our system, I think there was one time when we discovered net send wasn't disabled and it was abused for about a few days then I think someone reported it. Now it doesn't work at all. There was also a flaw with their login system where they would log off their computer and the next user who logged in could just open up the browser and their account was still logged in so they could use that persons internet until that session ran out. I think they fixed that as well. At high school level don't expect your schools system to be secure. Its a different thing at universities where you have so many smart people working there who are responsible for securing the network. They run windows xp and a combination of novell networks or something. I would of thought the combination of a windows server and client would be enough. I don't know why but yeah I'm no expert in that field. The facility they offer is pretty amazing I can access my files from anywhere with an internet connection and a browser and its SSL encryption too.

smart move, I think this way they can retain and gain more windows users as more software will like me made for windows. I think they only decided this because it had some benefit to them. It will be interesting to see how this turns out, I cant wait.

I personally am too used to adobe software to move on to gimp, I see no reason as to switch to gimp or open source when I am already proficient enough in adobe. The learning curve might be small when switching but like I said why switch when I have adobe PS already to gimp. I can do things in photo shop that I can do in Gimp. Yeah the price tag is a bit high but its an investment if you look at it that way. Most schools you go to will teach you adobe photoshop because it is the standard, most companies probably already use photoshop also so it makes sense to stick with the standard unless your really good at gimp then it wont matter what you use.

welcome, Its always great to have more web minded people join our forums. this hosting here is great and there are some very knowledgeable people here if you have any problems maybe we can help you out. Looking forward to see more work from you.

Hi all, I'm looking for an open source web based accounting software, preferably a PHP-MySQL based one if possible. I've already started searching but so far no luck.Many Thanks

Yeah I saw that on the news it show him looking real sick and old, He feel flat on this face one time after walking off from the stage ouch. What about his brother then? I don't know what they are both like but I don't think it will be much different with someone close to him in power.

hey there joomla expert, welcome to Xisto. There are alot of people who use joomla here so having someone who has good experience to help out would be nice. I'm interested in trying it out myself when I have time so hopefully your still around when I have some questions about it.Enjoy your stay and good luck on your hosting if thats what your after.sone.

If by adding your own design you mean just changing the banner and default colors that shouldn't be too hard. Changing it further with relaying the format and layout of elements would be a nice touch but can be difficult if you don't know how to properly access and modify the existing design. This is something I've considered I wanted to do if I have some time since writing your own forum would be too much work and most likely fail unless you are real good. If you have time and determination give it a shot but I doubt it will be an easy task.
