That's what I meant. So yeah, entering that then. GL Notice from BH: Fixed forum permission so that guest cannot reply to this area (although I know it was Flow)

you forgot these ...so, .333...(3) = .999... (approx= 1.0)close enough for measuring plywood.

Can you outline your correct procedure in what did work for you to help others who may also come across this problem?I know I may have said it somewhere in what I wrote, but a more definite answer in what steps you took would help.Cheers,MC

Neverseen I think I answered your question with autoglobals/autoregister. Anyways, you'll need to look at your form and take down all the attributes of 'id' or 'name' depending on how you wrote your form. e.g. <form action="sendmail.php" method="post"> <p> <input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" /> <input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </p></form> As you can see in the above, I'm using the post method in the form, and it's being directed to the sendmail.php page. The input elements each have an 'id' and 'name' pair of same value. If I was going to write a script for this ('I'm also including your other variables): <?php include_once('config.php'); if(isset($_POST['submit'] && strpos($_POST['submit'], 'Submit')) { if(!isset($_POST('f_name') || !isset($_POST('f_mail') || !isset($_POST['f_message'])) { exit('All fields are required, push the back button to fill out the rest.'); }else{ $f_name = stripslashes(trim($_POST['f_name'])); $f_mail = stripslashes(trim($_POST['f_mail'])); $f_message = addslashes(trim($_POST['f_message'])); echo '<link href="forAll.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />'."\n".'<hr />'."\n"; } if(empty($f_name) || empty($f_mail) || empty($f_message)) { exit('Form fields can not be empty, push the back button to fill out the rest.'); } if(mail($email, $subject, 'From: ' . "$f_name\n" . 'Mail: ' . "$f_mail\n" . 'Message:' . "\n\n$f_message")) { echo 'Your message has been sent, thank you.'; }else{ exit('The message was not sent, please try again.'); } }else{ exit('You must use the supplied form.'); }?> Because I've got a submit button, and the id/name = submit and the value = Submit, I first check whether this was set when posted, by checking if $_POST['submit'] is set, and then checking if it equals the value of 'Submit', there should be another security check though, which makes sure that the form actually is from us and not some forged form, but I left that out. I then check whether the variables that we sent through our form exist, and if not, I exit the script there instead of waiting till the end. I then store those variables in easier names, which is what you would have to do with your script by using the $form_id_name = $_POST['form_id_name']; way, which goes into the page that processes your form. After doing some trimming and removing slashes, I then check whether the variables are empty now and if they are I exit then and there. Next I send the mail, but I'm also making sure it is successful, since the mail function will return a boolean of true or false, if it was successful or not. The last line, pretty much represents what to do if the submit was not set or it did not equal the value Submit. To add more security to the script, you would define a constant in your form and you would check to make sure it's defined from your processing page. It also stops people trying to view the process page directly, but I think all you have to do to fix your code up is to make sure you use ids = $_POST['ids']; in your processing page, just define the lot of them. Cheers, MC

Don't forget though, although you don't know the actual link, it's still a quote. Even without the link or source, you must quote it, or else you'll get marked and penalized a certain amount of points... banned if over done by the way.Anyways, about the article. I'm pretty skeptic about being able to let government officials to be able to actually read every single mail we have in our folder, and maybe even the ones we send too. I really don't want my privacy to be easily shot down by that realization. I don't know how hotmail works, but I've been using that forever. With that new NSA satellite thingy, I'm afraid every single email will soon fall to unprivatized piracy sooner or later. I'm wondering how it is even legal to do that, but a contract is a contract. If you make the account, it pretty much supposed to mean you read the terms of agreement. Damn... I hate hidden messages like that, that aren't hidden but just easily missed.

I think there is too much expectation. People make mistakes, even people who you think would not, like editors of a news paper, book, etc. Everyone does, and I notice them. So then what can we do about it? Should we automatically force spell checking? We want to keep this a friendly forum, and not make it too daunting, the more actions a person has to make the less user friendly it will become. Should it be the members of Xisto's responsibility to correct any errors? We already have a lot to do, especially since a lot of us are more voluntary, and have lives outside of Xisto. Maybe we can do something, I was intrigued by the link to the spell_checker that was posted on http://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=antilost&e=com and my idea was using it, but instead of needing to press the spell check button, I was thinking that I could make it so that spell checking was checked while you were typing, and would be similar to MS Office with the squiggly red line and other Office applications, that notify you of errors while you type. It's just an idea I had, and it would be great to get something like this happening. If I can find any free time, I will work on this. As for correcting grammar, or making sure that the correct word is used, is still left up to the member of that post. Do we really need to hire an editor to check every post made here? Cheers, MC

CS2 caused me problems, which until it's fixed, I have to disable either my mouse or my tablet to have it working (in which I use both when drawing). I don't think I recall any memory leak, but I never really ran it much due to the above problem.I don't bother with CS2 now, I think I've had enough of these little problems that it's not even worth it's monetary value. Nor do I feel anything major has changed from it.Cheers,MC

Well, I'm glad you followed the tutorials, unfortunately the developers for IE5 on Mac were not the same developers of IE5 on Windows, hardly anything was shared between the two. Also IE will no longer be developed for Mac anymore, so support and updates will probably stop soon. The intended use of Favourite Icons, was to store an Icon in your Favourites Folder. Once you have stored it (bookmarked it), the Icon was to appear next to your favourites as well as in the Address Bar. This was the only time it would show, but someone, I'm not sure who, thought why not show it anyways, without needing to bookmark it. I'm not sure whether IE5 on Mac did implement the Favourite Icon or not. Maybe you'd like to give Safari Web Browser a go? I know it supports it. IE is strange, they came up with the favicon, but for some reason, their support for it seems broken now. I think it's safe to say png format is supported by most modern browsers, what you can do is have two images as favicon, and it comes down to what the browser picks to display, you could test which one it picks by making the png format one a different picture to the ico format one and seeing which one it chooses. <link rel="icon" href="image/favicon.png" type="image/png" /><link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> You can add as many <link rel="icon"... as you like with different image types, or image names, etc. The size still remains 16 x 16, using a larger size, will most likely be reduced, or in the odd occassion, not displayed at all. Cheers, MC

I take it you've come from a VB/MS background. Anyways, most notable problem is with scripts being transferred to another server is the fact that your script was not written in the most compatable method. Make sure you use <?php ?> instead of <? ?> <?php include_once('config.php'); if(!empty($fname) && !empty($f_mail) && !empty($f_message)){ mail($email, $subject, 'From: '.$f_name."\n".'Mail: '.$f_mail."\n".'Message:'."\n\n$f_message"); $msg = 'Your message has been sent, thank you.'; }else{ $msg = 'All fields are required, push the back button to fill out the rest.'; }?><link href="forAll.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" /><hr /><?php echo $msg; ?> I also hope you're not using autoglobals, if so, the variables from your form will take on $_POST['fname']; that's if fname is the id/name of that field and the method of the form is post. So you'll probably want to do $fname = $_POST['fname']; etc to set those variables you use. Just make sure, full PHP tags, <?php ...code here... ?> Cheers, MC

I want that mail

Hey, All this help and info is superb. Thanks to all of you who so freely give your time and knowledge to assist others. I wish more people would do it more often.I have followed all the instructions here and in the other Tutorial and have a few additional questions. first: does png format work favourably in most browsers? Or is it reccomended to have it converted to ico format? Any opinions?second: I have an iMAC running IE 5 point something under OS 9.1 and the favicon doesn't seem to want to show up. Is it an IE bug or an iMac bug? Does anyone know of a hack? or is there one? I tried the drag and drop, but it didn't seem to work for the site I was on.Thanks.

Or this Mo (mysty.nl)

You mean something like this?? Mo (mysty.nl)

I just read your tutorial titled chmod - part 1. Is there a part 2? Having some trouble finding it here on the forum. I understand how to set permissions on the files and directories via cpanel and / or ftp and all that, but I'm looking for some info about securing a file, yet allowing access to 'some' users. Ie: letting certain group members access the file via a web site. Can chmod allow only certain individuals access to a page on a site? And how to go about doing that? reference: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/82014-topic/?findpost= Thanks.

I think they will follow up with a gig of space or whatever. Hotmails been with me since the day I got on the internet to get an email. There's a percentage of how much storage I'm using of mails, I thought I would have like at least 40 percent full, but amazingly it's less than 1 percent! No reason for me to really care about 2 gigs if I can't even fill up a 250 meg huh So no worries for me.

Hm.. I never considered ever making my own font, that's a cool idea. You should do one if you think it'll look amazing. I'd love to do one too, but with my creative skills in doing one, I bet I'd make one of the oddest ones available >_< Anyways, great job with that above. Keep up the cool work.

Kinda like saying the Playstation copied super nintendo's buttons and justa dded two more top buttons :/ It's like what -plot- says the mouse is, inevitable. Same thing goes for the controllers. There are always copies of things everywhere, in games, products, just everything that is made out of matter is a copy somehow >_<

They're pretty decent for an hours worth of stuff. But I don't know, I have a thing against patch work (the design-wise) for some reason, so I'm biased towards that. It's pretty cool though. Like the 2nd one, the red one, looks like it's 2d to me. In the end, that Santa one in your sig is better XD

I would use "image/favicon.ico" and not "/image/favicon.ico" but it's totally up to you, except "/image/favicon.ico" would most likely be interpretted as domain.com/image/favicon.ico http://forums.xisto.com/ when the abosolute URI is referenced, and you can see that it'd contain an additional forward slash after the domain. This won't cause problems though. Cheers, MC

I really think you should have partitioned your drive into many parts, than one great big partition. Also formatting on Windows for something that large would have taken ages.Windows XP System files requires at minimal 4GB (it was 3GB), I usually opt for around double the amount.You should also have created a seperate paging (swap) file partition (using FAT32, larger blocks than NTFS and slightly faster for this type of swapping), so that fragmentation is reduced, plus try defragging 300GB!!!Then you could set up partitions for your Program Files, Your Documents/Downloads, etc.Your hard drive won't be used efficiently and will result in your system becoming unbearably slow.I think you should reconsider your option.Cheers,MC

Thanks for the response.So, ratherthan the "images/favicon", you would use domain.com/images/favicon/? Is that what you mean?

The Blu-Ray can hold up to like 50 or whatever gigs and I agree it certainly will be better than anything else at the moment. The only problem is how much will each product cost? blank media, games, and movies, how much will those be >_< I can only speculate it'll be quiet the money because of the storage.

Warcraft III and its expansion is a strategy game I believe, so that's my bet here. I would say Starcraft and it's expansion, but it's overdue on that now. Warcraft III seems to be the upgrade so that works much better. So fun playing the mod DOTA and having sorta like a World of Warcraft game but with less people and a normal WCIII view from top. A roleplaying game to say.

So not only does it try to fix the problem, it also creates another? Man, Microsoft need to hire some reliable programmers these days who can make something that doesn't cause problems back. It's like one of those advertisements you see on tv with a million side effects, so annoying to hear them say it so fast at the end too. Anyways, I hope there is a patch for this patch that patches everything ;PI kind of don't understand how this was never seen in the first place, the small exploit I mean. Did they know about it, but just waited for it to first be noticed? Or was it because they wanted more time to try to find a way to patch it in secretcy? The enigma I tell you!

Well if your drive is formatted in NTFS, then unchecking Simple File Sharing should do the trick. I just tested it by re-enabling it, then disabling it. Maybe you need to reboot, I recall that when you uncheck it something happens, but I'm not sure what. You do not need to be a Super Admin, any administrator account would do in Normal Windows. Sometimes rebooting in Safe Mode and logging into the Administrator account will give you the Security Tab. If you can figure out how to get this then all you have to do is Go to C:\Documents and Settings\ Right-click on the User, select Properties, select the Security Tab click advanced click on Owner and Add yourself as the owner of it, remove the other owner. Then you should be able to remove it. Cheers, MC I'm rebooting back into Linux, that's all I can tell you that should work, but knowing XP... need I say more.
