Hi again, folks.Sorry for my silence during your posts, but I have just been admitted to hospital again for six days and just came home today.I will have a good read through your posts and I will also have a look at the code of the scripts and do a bit of testing (whenever I feel up to it, mind you), and then I will post a bit of feedback.However, I trust that you experts will get the code pretty much right.Thanks for the replies, gentlemen.

Same here, oddly enough.I usually stay logged in for quite some time, unless I clear the cache on my machine or something like that.(I rarely or never log out myself).

That was probably the reason, and, no, it was not the post you quoted.I noticed later on I was not logged in.(No idea why I got logged out, though, as I never logged out).Thank you anyway.

By the way, on another note, I also wonder why I was required to enter a security code in order to get my reply through, and even more, why my reply to this post has not appeared here.

Hi,I would like to achieve the following:If people submit data through a web form, and I let that form save the data into a .CSV file, how can Ia) Display the data in a table (that is simple enough), but omit the people's email addresses Automatically update the table when new data are added tot the CSV file and display the latest file data upon a page refresh.Especially with respect to point , as far as I am aware, there are no for-next loops in HTML (or there might be something equivalent in HTML 5) which can display row after row of the table and update the number of the loop when rows are added.The omission of the email address from the table might not be that difficult, but I thought I'd ask anyway, as i have not done anything similar for a long time, and at the moment, i am nt thinking 100% straight (See my other post "Hello everyone").I seem to remember I have done something like this in a grey past, and the solution is probably staring me in the face, but any help will still be very much appreciated.Thank you in advance.

Hi,hope this is posted in the right topic, as I was not sure which one to pick.I just dropped by to say hello to everyone, and to let everyone know I am still in the land of the living (only just, mind you).The thing is, I have seen my fair share of doctors, hospitals and inside of ambulances lately, so I have to take things very easy at the moment.About two months ago, I had another stent put into my main artery by the cardiologist, and I have had to go into hospital regularly (mostly on an outpatient basis) fr a number of examinations and investigations.Oh, by the way, I managed to give up smoking (by means of "cold turkey", no NRT or anything) and I am still sticking to it, although it can be very difficult at times (even after this amount of time).The only problem i now have is that i still have a number of issues, but i am getting no answers.(People in this country keep saying about their glorious NHS, and yes, it is nice if, as a patient, you do not have to pay your doctors or anything, but the saying "if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys" springs to mind.I have two main problems bugging me at the moment, one is that I have great trouble getting my food down, it just seems to get stuck in my throat, I am awaiting an appointment with ENT for this, as everything from gastrology, including a barium swallow tes, came back clear, but it is taking ages, it might have to do something with the fact that I have suspected sleep apnoea, I will find out for sure at the end of this month.The other one is that I have incredible trouble breathing.It looks and sounds like hyperventilation to me, but I am not getting any answers here, except, "everything is normal, your lungs are clear, your lungs sound normal when I listen to them".Do they think I am making these things up then???If everything is normal, then where on earth are the symptoms coming from, eg. when I keep waking up, gasping for breath???I have already mentioned hyperventilation to the doctors (more than one, as a matter of fact), do you think any of them listen?Well, I wish I could have come in here to say hello on a more positive note, but that was impossible, unfortunately.Anyway, hope my old friends on here are all OK, because, at the moment all i need is rest, rest and more rest, but I will try to pop by every now and then to update you on the situation and to see how everyone is.Speak to you soon.

Beat the olives or sundried tomatoes, garlic and almost all the herbs into the cheese, then season. Cut a slit along the side of each chicken breast, then use your knife to open it out into a pocket. Stuff each breast with a quarter of the cheese mix, then press to close. Lift onto a greased baking tray. Season the top of the chicken, then overlap tomato slices over the top of each piece of chicken. Season, then scatter with the remaining herbs. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 20 mins until the chicken is golden around the edges and the tomatoes look a little shrivelled. Serve with a green salad and crusty bread to mop up the juices.

Thank you for those soothing words, Sheepdog.It has not gone as far as having to take tranquilisers to overcome my grief (thank goodness), but, the death of a pet you have loved and especially one you have had for so long (I don't think there are that many people who have been fortunate to have had an animal from puppy-hood until he was sixteen years old) does hurt a lot.And, as you say, it is a comfort that we still have animals around the house, and maybe even more so that two of the dogs (do not forget we also have four cats too) are still loveable, friendly and playful puppies themselves.I still think the fact that Mozart was a cross-breed rather than a pedigree dog might have contributed towards his longevity, it is a well-known and partly medically proven fact that dogs, stemming from different breeds might have blood inside them from dogs which spent a part of their lives on the street (I obviously do not know in how far that was the case for our Mozart), and that life on the street makes them stronger and more immune to certain infections than pedigree dogs, due to the fact they are more prone to come into contact with certain germs/infections than pedigree dogs would.And, (although this is a bit of a guess), the fact that Mozart had Staffordshire terrier in him might also have played a part in it, as that kind of breed is known to be tough and strong.Believe it or not, but not once in his life has Mozart needed the help of a vet, as he has never been ill at all in those sixteen years (apart maybe from the odd innocent stomach upset).We always got him through the odd minor ailment by slightly adjusting his food for a short while.And I also think he partly owed his long life (even if I say so myself) to the way he was looked after by us.Anyway, Sheepdog, thank you again for our kind words, they do manage to bring some comfort to us,and now we have to concentrate on Dad Lucky, Mum Dido and the two sons Gaston (the chocolate labrador) and Marley (the golden labrador) and try to make them as happy as we did their uncle Mozart.

Yes, Sheepdog, it was indeed the right thing to do (let us not forget, had our dear Mozart been human, he would have been 112 years old).What I mentioned in my previous post about him going round in circles and dragging himself along without really getting anywhere, I think he was looking for a place where he could die in peace.Although I know we did him a favour, and we put him out of his misery (no use letting your beloved animal suffer), it does not mean that we do not miss our old boy.The place seems so quiet and empty without him, even though we have four other dogs around the place, also four animals full of love, friendship and loyalty, and two of them being puppies who are very playful.It does, of course help a lot having their company and friendship, but it will take time to get over our Mozart, I clearly remember the days when we just had them and he was still a puppy, our children were very young too at the time, and they used to throw the washing basket over him, and he was running around with it over him, quite a sight that was.I am so glad I can still think about those happy memories our beloved animal left us with, but they also keep reminding me of the emptiness without him.Just goes to show, I thought I was tough (and in many respects I am), but I could not help crying over the loss of my best friend, and doing it more than once.Anyway, sorry if anyone feels I keep going on, but posting about my beautiful friend does make me feel somewhat better, just like talking about his memory does.

Above is a picture of our dear friend Mozart.Like Nanna said, we have had a lot of unconditional love, loyalty and affection from him, and although it was on the cards, given his age, and given the fact that he was deteriorating rapidly the last few weeks, it is still so hard to take it in.What had began to happen was: he had started to get very weak in his hind legs, he often had difficulty staying upright for longer periods of time.We had began to get used to that and hence tried to make him as comfortable as possible, and tried to help him to take things easy as much as we could.However, lately, he started to get slower and slower, and he even left most of his food on many occasions (of course, our labrador Lucky was always ready to help him solve that problem).The last few days, however, the decline went very quick, Mozart often had trouble getting in and out of his basket without help, he would sometimes lie down practically motionless so we often thought he was dead, and it also looked like he had hardly any eyesight left.The last two days, he would also lie in his basket, half in it, half out of it, being almost motionless, so, he onc again looked dead on occasions.We thought (and hoped) the decline was due (at least to some extent) to the changes in the weather and the heat we have been experiencing recently, as some dogs can be very sensitive to weather changes.However, today, some things began to become obvious.He had hardly any strength left in his hind legs, he dragged himself around with not going anywhere really, as if he did not realise where he was going.He needed help getting in or out of his basket, and he had even wet his basket and pooped in his basket, most probably without realising it, or because of his muscles getting so weak things just came out.He also cried a few times, as if he was in pain, so that was the final straw, Nanna decided there might be one option left, after all, you can't be cruel to be kind and let an animal suffer because of your own pleasure, so Nanna took our little boy to the vet, where they said he had the look of an animal on his way out, and if we did not have him put to sleep we would probably find him dead the same day or the day after.If that had happened, it would have made things even worse, imagine getting up in the morning and finding your beloved animal dead on the floor or in his basket.....So, Nanna decided it was better to go for the most humane solution.Unfortunately I had to stay behind to look after the puppies, but Nanna stayed with him until it was all over (I admire her courage), and that was the right thing to do, instead of running away from having to say goodbye, his mummy stayed with him until the end so he died peacefully thinking "everything is all right, my owner is here with me".A big thank you to Nanna for doing it like that, and to my beloved dog: Rest In Peace, my dear Mozart. We will meet again some day.

It is quite correct that genetic elements may play a part in people having heart attacks. Also, many people suffer from a heart condition without realising it, some of them lead a perfectly normal life with a heart condition going undetected, However, there might come a day when some of those apparently perfectly healthy people all of a sudden get an unexpected heart attack. Most heart attacks occur as a result of coronary heart disease, a condition in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside of the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart. (as was mentioned earlier in this thread). This build up of plaque occurs over many years and is called arteriosclerosis. Eventually, an area of plaque can rupture (break open) inside of an artery. This causes a blood clot to form on the plaque's surface. If the clot becomes large enough, it can mostly or completely block blood flow through a coronary artery. If the blockage isn't treated quickly, the portion of heart muscle fed by the artery begins to die. Healthy heart tissue is replaced with scar tissue. This heart damage may not be obvious, or it may cause severe or long-lasting problems. There is also Coronary Artery Spasm,which is a less common cause of a heart attack, it is a severe spasm or tightening of a coronary artery. Because of those spasms, the blood flow through the artery is cut off. It is not always clear what causes the spasms, but they might be related to: Using certain drugs, eg. cocaine. Emotional stress or pain. Exposure to extreme cold. Cigarette smoking. The blockage in the artery can also cause severe chest pains, and getting out of breath, this concition is called angina pectoris, or angina for short. However, there is never any guarantee that, no matter what a healthy lifestyle someone leads, a heart attack will not occur, also due to the fact I stated in the beginning of this post. An example: lately, a number of football players (for the non-Europeans here, I mean soccer) have died on the pitch as a result of cardiac arrest. In this case we are talking about people who are not overweight, who (usually) do not smoke and who take regular exercise. That is why plans have been made in some countries to set up screening for young football players. There is obviously a lot that can be done to prevent a heart attack, but there is never any guarantee.

Now that spring seems to have come in (a bit sudden, I must say, we still needed the heating on five days ago and now we have to leave all the windows open) I am going to give you some recipes for foods which are nice in weather like this. The good thing is, you can prepare all the dishes in advance as they are eaten cold, so any cooking involved can be done beforehand and then all the ingredients are to be mixed cold. The three recipes are a variety of pasta, rice and potatoes and vegetables, also fish and meat. Here we go: COLD TUNA PASTA Ingredients: 700 grammes (24.5 oz) of pasta (I prefer spirelli). 2 cans of tuna. 2 eggs. 1 can of sweetcorn. 5 dessert spoons of mayonnaise. Method: Boil the pasta. Boil the eggs hard. When the eggs and pasta have gone cold, do the following: Slice the eggs. Drain off the tuna. Mix the pasta, tuna and sweetcorn together. Put in the mayonnaise and mix well. Put in the fridge until nice and cool. Delicious. COLD RICE MIX Ingredients: 400 grammes (14 oz) of white rice. A tin of mixed vegetables. 2tins of hot dog sausages (or 10 frankfurters). 2 hard boiled eggs 5 dessert spoons of mayonnaise. Method: Boil the rice. Boil the eggs. Let the rice and eggs cool off. Slice the hot dog sausuages into thin slices. Slice the eggs. Drain off the mixed vegetables. Mix all ingredients together. Put in the mayonnaise and mix well. Put in the fridge until nice and cool. COLD HAM, VEGETABLE AND VEGETABLE SALAD Ingredients: Half a lettuce. 2 eggs 1 kilo (35 ounces) of salad potatoes 4 tomatoes 400 grammes (14 ounces) of ham. 5 dessert spoons of mayonnaise. Method: Boil the potatoes. Boil the eggs. Let potatoes and eggs cool down. Cut the lettuce into thin strips. Dice the ham. Slice the tomatoes. Slice the eggs. Mix all ingredients together. Put in the mayonnaise and stir well. Stand in the fridge to let it get nice and cool. All these dishes are for 4 persons. None of the dishes need a lot of preparation time nor a lot of work. They are great to be eaten in hot weather, delicious and very filling. They can all be eaten on their own, or, if so desired, with some (French) bread.

The question I want to ask here is mainly about an experiment I want to conduct in order to learn a bit more abou networking, network management and networking software:in my house, there are 4 machines, two laptops and two PCs.All those machines are running Windows 7 and they are on a home network in order to share the use of the internet and the use of the printers between all of them.For the time being, the users (2 or 3) just start up the machine they usually use (two are allocated to me), in other words, in the normal way things usually go on a home network.What I would like to achieve now is the following:I would like it to be possible for every one of the users to log in from any machine, and have access to their own files, settings and emails ec. from any of the machines.I know that I could (since there are only four machines and a maximum of three users) set up separate user accounts in Windows 7 on every single machine, but, for the sake of learning about the more advanced side of networking, that is the way I do not want to do this.Imagine a system manager in, let's say, a school, a school with 1,000 pupils, 250 staff and 350 machines around the building.I cannot imagine the system manager having to go around the building at the beginning of the school year, and setting up a separate user account for 1,250 people on all 350 PCs around the school, I assume he would probably do that via his server.I would probably do it the same way (if I knew how) by letting the most powerful PC (the one with the fastest processor and largest hard drive, the one to which both printers are connected too, function as a "server" (be it only a modest one, of course).I seem to remember having been told in the past there is a certain program around (by Microsoft?) to achieve this, but I do not remember the details nor the name of the software (although I would imagine there are probably a number of programs about to get to the same result).So, if any networking specialists on here could guide me further, I would love to hear about it, and I would, of course, be very grateful for any help received.

Hello Karel,welcome to the Xisto community.This is an interesting place, where you can share your knowledge and experience with others and where you can also find help with problems you might have yourself.Apart from that, Xisto also opens the way to top quality web hosting, provided by Xisto, you can accumulate MyCents credits by posting in the forums here.These MyCents credits can then be used to pay for your web hosting, you can also purchase a domain name with them, and more.Check out the Xisto web site to see what they have on offer.I have one final question for you: why do you have a Dutch Christian name?Karel is a pure Dutch name, the equivalent of Charles in English (although I don't think I need to tell you that).Anyway, I hope you have lots of great experiences and make lots of friends here on Xisto.

I too must say it is a pleasure having pets around. The first point I was going to make is just as sharmiladevi states above: when an animal shows you it loves you, you can be sure that sign of affection is 100% genuine and heartfelt, unlike some people, who will smile in your face, and when your back is turned, they will stick a knife in it (a figure of speech in most cases, thank goodness). They can also (another valid point of sharmiladevi) prove to be of therapeutic value, it is true that the company of their beloved pet can prove to be of therapeutic benefit to certain patients, especially because of the love and emotions those contacts can generate. I also know of some places where they have bought and trained a dog (in both cases a golden retriever, just like those are often chosen as guide dogs for the blind, among other things), in one case the department of palliative care in a hospital (the department where people are staying who are dying, who are kept in the hospital to make there last months/weeks/days on this earth as pleasant as possible), in the other case the dog was acquired in an old peoples' home, where the inhabitants who so desire, can have some time with the dog, which can be a sort of "pleasure therapy", where the friendly vibrations between the human and animal generate a sense of pleasure for the patients, thus pushing the negative thoughts to the back of their minds for a while. I have even seen something (on the television news) about a person who was in the palliative care unit, and he had requested to have his own pet dog with him in the hospital, a request which was granted to him, I thought it was a great decision by the hospital. Then, there is also the other side of the coin (it is not a pleasant one, I know, but I feel it must be said): so far I have talked about the animal giving the human love, friendship and pleasure, and even support in thir dying days). However, when a pet has reached the end of its life, in a way where nothing further can be done for it medically, and the only solution is to make sure it does not have to suffer unnecessarily, please, do not run away from your responsibilities and let your pet down in its last minutes, only to avoid the pain of saying goodbye (and, yes, it DOES cause pain, a lot of pain sometimes). However, do not let your pet down, the one who has given you his unconditional love and loyalty for who knows how many years. What I mean is: stay with the poor animal until at least he has had the sedative before the final injection, the dog will see you are there and feel much more comfortable, thinking "my owner is here with me, so everything is all right". But, PLEASE, do not run away cowardly from your responsibilities, only to avoid the pain you will undoubtedly feel at the letting go of your pet. Believe me, if you do decide to do that, there might be a time of torture when you will say "I wish I had been there with my pet" or "I wonder if my pet went peacefully", and believe me, these thoughts can cause more pain than being there when your pet goes out peacefully and painlessly, feeling comfortable because of the thought of its master being present. Never forget what your pet has given you without ever asking for anything in return. I know, the last bit of my post contains some morbid words, and I do apologise if I have upset anyone or have caused anyoneany discomfort by them, nevertheless, I think they had to be said because they do make a lot of sense.

Hello tomgat.Welcome to Xisto where you can do a lot of things, such as meeting new people, find help with problems (technical or other) you might have, you can also join in interesting discussions or put your own knowledge at other people's disposal.Furthermore, like fermin said, you can build up your credits here to pay for hosting of your website(s), and you will get all you need here to help in putting up a brilliant website.So, get posting to get your hosting in place and to make your presence on this forum known.Have a great time here.

Hello Ananya,welcome to Xisto to you too.I ned to make the same remarks to you as I made to rezanonymous, when you post an introduction, please post a bit of background information about yourself, and also, post it in a separate topic.You are nevertheless very welcome here, and, yes, as you say, you can exchange ideas and knowledge here, gain knowledge and even discuss your beliefs.Hope you have a great time here.

Hi, rezanonymous.Welcome to Xisto, but could you post a little bit more about yourself, like, where you are from, your likes and dislikes, hobbies, wha you are good at and more.Also, when you introduce yourself, you are supposed to start a new post in the Introductions thread, as a reply (which is what you have posted) is just hat, a reply to someone else's post.You are nevertheless very welcome and I shall look forward to reading your contributions here.

Hi Chelsy,welcome to Xisto.That was quite a complete introduction, listing the things you like, interests, things you are good at and the likes.I hope you will have a great time here.I also assume that, since you list web designing as one of your hobbies, and since you have posted some comments about a hosting provider in a different topic, you also wish to host your web site(s) here, well you have come to the right place.Not only is it good, fast and reliable hosting, where you get everything you will ever need for building and maintaining your websites, the price for all this is right too.All you need to do is build up your MyCents credits, and then use them to pay your monthly hosting bill with, but I guess you knew that, as I already see your name appearing in quite a number of topics.So, have a great time here, and if you need help with anything, just look through the topics, or post about your problem, and you will always find helpful and knowledgeable people who are willing to help.

Well, in the mean time, there has been some change there.The eleven labradors did not get reduced to three, but rather to four. Also, (don't know what happened to my mathematics ability) there were not eleven, but ten labradors, namely, the father and mother and eight puppies. The excuse for the confusion might of course be that I owned eleven dogs in total, as said above, and our other, non-labrador dog, our trusty sixteen-year old Mozart. Anyway, coming back to the subject of the four dogs, we kept a chocolate labrador, a boy we called Gaston, and a golden one, amother boy which we called Marley. So, with the parents Dido and Lucky, we now have four Labradors, and, add to that our Mozart, that means we have a total of five dogs. For completeness' sake, let me add that Mozart is a cross-breed dog, who seems to have some Staff inside his bloodline. Add to that the four cats we have too, and our zoo is complete.

Thanks for that information, Jim.On another note: long time no see.It is good to see you again.Hope we are going to see a lot more of you again now.

That is exactly what I like about what i have seen of it so far, the simplicity of the software. That is exactly what I am going to do.I do not particularly need such a script at the moment, however, as I promised k_nitin_r, I am going to upload the script on my website and help him test it. Projects like this are always worth encouraging, especially since we are talking Open Source her (and hence free). If you see what some companies charge for commercial shopping cart scripts, I think most of us would look at open source scripts first. However, it is not only the price that appeals to me, as i said before, the simplicity and user-friendliness of the script is well worth recommending. So, dear Xisto members, help out and start to test when the script is released, and you will reap the benefits in the end.

You have to post in the forumsWhen you have made about 10 posts, you should have enough to get the Logic plan.That Logic plan costs $1.95 per month.For the features you get with this, see the Xisto website.There are, of course, other plans available too, once again,have a look on the Xisto site tosee what is on offer.As said in the beginning, when you have made about 10 posts (not oneliners, of course), you should have about $2.00, which is enough to pay for your Logic plan.After your hosting has been set up, just keep posting here to pay your monthly hosting bill.Simple, isn't it?

OK, Bikerman, I shall give that a try.Thank you very much for your input.It is well appreciated.

Thanks again for your reaction.No, that is not what I want,However, I was thinking, it probably will not work unless the file is scanned in Landscape format, where, instead of, as you can see in screenshot #1, which is a normal portrait file, but when printed in landscape, it appears just like you see it, but small and in the middle of the page.I want it to be spread evenly from left to right on the page, but, as I said, the file probably has to be scanned in landscape then.(Can't find a file to provide a screenshot of how I want it immediately, but I think you get the idea now).I find it difficult to explain, but, organ books are usually printed horizontally, meaning the book's width is bigger than the height.That is how I would want the printed file to appear.Anyway, thank you for your help so far.PS. I did find a file which sort of shows the format I want.I attached another screenshot.
