Hello everyone, I'm going to do business with a foreign company that offered me two methods of payments; one, through PayPal, and the other by a cheque sent to me. I'd much rather NOT get paid by cheques since they're an absolute hassle; they need time to arrive, time to clear, and then time to deposit. I live in Egypt and, unfortunately, PayPal doesn't support payments to it. Naturally, I can make a PayPal account with false information; everyone can, I suppose. The thing is, the account won't get verified. So my question now is, does anyone know of a service that can transfer money from an unverified PayPal to a MoneyBookers.com account? I searched for such a service, but I have to admit, the few ones I found don't look too promising, and I don't feel I could trust them. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance .

Actually, I like the last banner quite a lot. Yes, it still could be much improved, but as it is, it's not bad. But here's a couple of pointers:1) I'm not sure what that effect is called exactly, but you might wanna try to lessen the glow *sweep*. You know, try to make the "HTMLets-Made-Easy" a little less bright AND ease up a bit on the brush used.2) Perhaps it'd be better to either decrease the font size of the white text or increase that of the headline itself to make a distinction between the name and the tagline. I personally prefer decreasing the font size of the white text, since the text is of the headline is fine as it is, I think.Hopefully that will help out along the way . Cheers.

These are old knowledge... I miss them sooo!!

Normally, there is an option in the My Controls section that enables you to change your username and/or Display Name. A username is whatever you use to log into the forum, while a display name is the name that appears alongside your posts. You can choose have an identical username and display name, or you can have different ones. But at Xisto.com, the option to change the username and the display name has been disabled by the administrator. If you need to change your username and/or display name, you can simply PM any of the administrators with your desired new username and/or display name, and they'll change it for you as soon as they can . Cheers.

I most like and use eMule.Also I use lot: WinMX and bitcomet.Sometimes i use other p2p programs tho but not much.In Estonia is popular LimeWire at the moment, but i dont like it, it uses too much of my bad network connection and not much files in sharing.

Have you ever wanted to setup a domain which will directly point to your local webserver? Here's how: Step 1. Set up your DynDNS.com account. Register for a free account at DynDNS. Agree to the site's terms, and use a legitimate email address to complete registration. Once in awhile, DynDNS will email you at that address asking you to confirm that it continue your service. Log into your new account. Go to the "My Services" area on the left side. Under "Host Level Services" click "Add Host Services." There, click "Add Dynamic DNS Host." DynDNS will autofill your IP address (if you're doing this from your home computer). Choose a domain and type in a custom subdomain, which can be anything from lifehacker.kicks-*bottom*.org or john.is-a-geek.com or gtrapani.dyndns.org, like below: Step 2. Set up your computer to update DynDNS. Now that your computer is registered with DynDNS, each time your computer's IP address changes, it has to let DynDNS know. This can be done either with free updater client software or through your router. If your computer is connected directly to the Internet, download the DynDNS updater client for Mac or Windows here. Install and enter your DynDNS information so that your computer can update DynDNS's database regularly. If you are behind a router, you're in luck. Most modern routers support dynamic DNS services. Here's a screenshot from my router's interface (yours will look different) for with DynDNS settings: Step 3. You're done. Give your new domain a spin! Type your new domain name by entering it in your web browser's address bar. It should resolve to your home server. From here you can publicize or bookmark your server's new domain name no matter how often your IP address changes. Hope this helped you all out there! cya

I dont know alot about this tube thing yet. Ill have to inform myself more, but thanks for replying to my post.cya around

Yes I just visited that site and to my consent, it looks good on the first sight.Though, i meant that lissaexplains.com, is good for realll newbies... that have no idea about html whatsoever.It might not help everyone. So yea... thanks for replying though! Might c u around

If it wasn't for vujsa and HandyPHP.com, or the discussion over at Xisto.com. I would have had no reason to make this function more flexible and act more like a PHP function. So this is why I have done this, though I would have contributed it to Xisto.com, I was not a member over there nor does it benefit me in anyway. None of the code has been taken from HandyPHP.com. It's a complete rewrite in a way I felt works better for most people, it could do with better error handling though, but that can be discussed here if needs be. So here it is: day_sort (To use this function needs: PHP 4 or PHP 5. It is not part of PHP) day_sort -- Sort an array by day of the week. Description bool day_sort ( array &array [, int sort_flag[, int order_flag ]] ) This function sorts an array that is prefixed by day of the week from Sunday to Monday including abbreviated days when function has completed. ????[/tab]Note: This function assigns new keys for the elements in array. It will remove any existing keys you may have assigned, rather than just reordering the keys. Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. Function day_sort() source { define('__FUNCTION__', 'day_sort'); } $argc = func_num_args(); if ($argc < 1) { echo "\n".'<p><strong>Warning linenums:0'>function day_sort(&$array = NULL, $sort_flag = SORT_REGULAR, $order_flag = SORT_ASC){ if (!defined('__FUNCTION__')) { define('__FUNCTION__', 'day_sort'); } $argc = func_num_args(); if ($argc < 1) { echo "\n".'<p><strong>Warning:</strong> <em>'.__FUNCTION__.'()</em> expects at least <em>1</em> parameter, <em>'.$argc.'</em> given.</p>'."\n"; return false; } if (!is_array($array)) { echo "\n".'<p><strong>Warning:</strong> <em>'.__FUNCTION__.'()</em> expects parameter <em>1</em> to be an <em>array</em>, <em>'.gettype($array).'</em> given.</p>'."\n"; return false; } if (count($array) < 2) { return true; } if (!is_int($sort_flag)) { echo "\n".'<p><strong>Warning:</strong> <em>'.__FUNCTION__.'()</em> expects parameter <em>2</em> to be <em>integer</em>, <em>'.gettype($sort_flag).'</em> given.</p>'."\n"; return false; } else { switch($sort_flag) { // For PHP > 4.3 // case SORT_LOCALE_STRING: // case 5: case SORT_STRING: case 2: case SORT_NUMERIC: case 1: case SORT_REGULAR: case 0: break; default: $sort_flag = 0; break; } } if (!is_int($order_flag)) { echo "\n".'<p><strong>Warning:</strong> <em>'.__FUNCTION__.'</em> expects parameter <em>3</em> to be <em>integer</em>, <em>'.gettype($order_flag).'</em> given.</p>'."\n"; return false; } else { switch($order_flag) { case SORT_ASC: case 4: case SORT_DESC: case 3: break; default: $order_flag = 4; break; } } if ($argc > 3) { echo "\n".'<p><strong>Warning:</strong> <em>'.__FUNCTION__.'()</em> expects at most <em>3</em> parameters, <em>'.$argc.'</em> given.</p>'."\n"; return false; } $days_pattern = array('/^sun(day)?/i','/^mon(day)?/i','/^tue(sday)?/i','/^wed(nesday)?/i','/^thu(rsday)?/i','/^fri(day)?/i','/^sat(urday)?/i'); $replacements = array(' ! ',' !! ',' !!! ',' !!!! ',' !!!!! ',' !!!!!! '," !!!!!!! "); $tmp_array = array_map('ltrim', $array); $tmp_array = array_values($tmp_array); for ($i = 0, $j = count($days_pattern); $i < $j; $i++) { for ($k = 0, $m = count($tmp_array); $k < $m; $k++) { if (preg_match($days_pattern[$i],$tmp_array[$k])) { $replaced = preg_replace($days_pattern, $replacements, $tmp_array); break; } } } if (!array_multisort($replaced, $order_flag, $sort_flag, $array)) { return false; } $array = array_values($array); return true;} [tab]Note: This function has not been tested with the int sort_flag being set yet. It is only there for when I expand this function. Example 1. day_sort() example <?php$days_to_sort = array('tuesday34','nottoday','fri382','monday1234','thu384','string_key' => 'Sunday23402', 'su32');$tmp_str = '';day_sort($days_to_sort);foreach($days_to_sort as $key => $value){ $tmp_str .= 'days_to_sort['.$key.'] = '.$value."\n";}echo $tmp_str;?>The above example will output: days_to_sort[0] = Sunday23402days_to_sort[1] = monday1234days_to_sort[2] = tuesday34days_to_sort[3] = thu384days_to_sort[4] = fri382days_to_sort[5] = nottodaydays_to_sort[6] = su32The days_to_sort have been sorted by Sunday to Saturday order and those which aren't day names get sorted after. The optional second parameter sort_flag may be used to modify the sorting behavior. For more information on sort_flag please visit PHP: sort - Manual The option third parameter order_flag may be used to modify the order behavior. For more information on order_flag please visit PHP: array_multisort - Manual Warning Be careful when sorting arrays with mixed typed values because day_sort() can produce unpredictable results. About the code It has been brought to my attention that this code maybe hard for everyone to follow so I will go over it. function day_sort(&$array = NULL, $sort_flag = SORT_REGULAR, $order_flag = SORT_ASC)This is where we have created our function, it takes 3 parameters but only the first parameter is needed and it must be a reference to an array which means the array must come from a variable e.g. $var = array('something'); day_sort($var); because we are altering the variable itself and returning TRUE on success or FALSE on failure, so we can also check whether this function performed correctly or not. if(!defined('__FUNCTION__')) { define('__FUNCTION__', 'day_sort'); } __FUNCTION__ did not exist till PHP 4.30, I've tried my best to make sure this is PHP 4 compatible, this is just a simple workaround for this. $argc = func_num_args();Stores the number of arguments sent to the function. $argc stands for argument count. From then on the code should be self explanatory, it's just simple error checking until we get to the switch statements which I'll explain. If you read the Warning messages, it'll explain more about what those checks do. Brief explanation: Must have at least 1 argument. First parameter must be an array If there's only 1 item in the array, there's no reason to sort. Second parameter must be an integer Third parameter must be an integer If there's more than 3 parameters, we've sent too many arguments. Now all the switch does is make sure that the integers correspond with what has been defined already, and if not, we give it the default values SORT_REGULAR and SORT_ASC. $days_pattern = array('/^sun(day)?/i','/^mon(day)?/i','/^tue(sday)?/i','/^wed(nesday)?/i','/^thu(rsday)?/i','/^fri(day)?/i','/^sat(urday)?/i');This creates our days_pattern, which is case-insensitive. It works with either 3 letter abbreviated day names or whole names. e.g. Sun or tuesday, etc. $replacements = array(' ! ',' !! ',' !!! ',' !!!! ',' !!!!! ',' !!!!!! ',' !!!!!!! ');This is what we will replace our day names with, I chose this characters because they come before any alphanumeric character and it's just after space, I also use space to make sure it's seperated for easier ordering as I left trim everything in the array to remove space characters. $tmp_array = array_map('ltrim', $array);Removes leading space characters and stores the results in a temporary array, since we passed an array by reference if we changed it, those changes will affect the referenced array, so we don't want to change it till it's completed the function. $tmp_array = array_values($tmp_array);Changes all array names/keys to numbers, maintaining the value positions. Next we have the for loop with another for loop nested inside, what happens is we create an array called $replaced, which changes prefixed days to one of the corresponding replacements, if no replacement is need, it will just store the string without changes. if (!array_multisort($replaced, $order_flag, $sort_flag, $array)) { return false; } This sorts the array, and updates $array, if it fails, no changes are made and it returns false. $array = array_values($array);Does the same as explained in $tmp_array = array_values($tmp_array); but for our referenced $array. Function completed true is returned and the array we passed has been updated. Things to discuss Should array keys be preserved? If so, it's possible to do this, though I may need to add another parameter to the function to allow it. Should prefixed day strings and non-day strings in the array be seperated or mixed? The main reason why I'm thinking this is the ordering, imagine the days at the top SORT_ASC ordered, then the non-days after it SORT_ASC ordered, that's how it would be with just setting SORT_ASC. But what if you would like to reverse the ordering for days only, or non-days? and place days either before the non-days or after the non-days. Maybe showing an example would explain this better but only if it's requested will I do that. And my last idea is, should we order it even further so that abbreviated names come before whole names, etc. Doesn't matter, what I mean is, should they be grouped seperately too, and can also be ordered seperately? Well thanks for the opportunity to do this, and thanks to vujsa, Xisto.com and HandyPHP.com. Cheers, MC

The pros:The Creative Zen Micro features an FM tuner/recorder, a voice recorder, and a PIM that syncs with Outlook. You can choose from 10 colors and easily replace the removable battery. The Zen Micro is also compatible with subscription-based online music services and has excellent sound.Though it has some bad things to it like:The Creative Zen Micro's touch-pad navigation won't impress everyone, and the fact that it records voice and FM tuner in only WAV format is a bit of a bummer. There's also no dedicated volume control. I myself have one and think they are very useful to hear music on the go.Ipods...phfff...Creative has better sound quality I think.Well they are quite expensiv.200 euros i think mine cost.
