  1. I've just voted, and good luck to everyone who has been nominated.To stop people voting twice just get the submit script to check for their IP address. If it is found, it doesn't count the vote.
  2. Considering the monitor on my PC has just decided to break, and has now been replaced with some old pile of junk, this game is a great stress reliever! I went one step further than you, mayank Great fun, thanks for the link DarkFlash.
  3. As far as I can see you have some extra braces. You have one extra { at the beginning that is never closed. Also, try not to break out of PHP into HTML in the middle of a for loop, as it can sometimes cause problems. Just put each line as an echo.

    What Is Flash?

    Flash is a technology developed by Macromedia that makes animated and interactive movies for web pages. It is often used for navigation, games, buttons, movies, presentations and other forms of interactivity, generally in web pages. The main software is developed by Macromedia and can be found here. There are also various freeware applications, but those don't have very many features and are quite limited in their uses. To find them just put "freeware flash creator" into a search engine. If you want to learn Flash there are loads of tutorials on Pixel2Life and tutorial eBooks and training videos available for download or on eBay. Hope this helps you.
  5. If you're monitor shuts off at the same time I presume it is taking its power from the PSU, rather than having a separate power supply?It's probably a problem with the power supply if everything comes on then off again. Try the monitor on a different PC and see if it still works, and you could start removing various components and replacing them with ones you are certain work until you find the problem.
  6. I think what you're looking for is called AJAX. I haven't really used it much, but theres some information about it here. It allows the information to be changed without a full refresh of the page, like the links in GMail.
  7. It also seems to be getting the amount of space and bandwidth used wrong, as I have supposedly used only 17MB of my web space, yet my FTP client says I have used 78MB, which seems more likely.Or maybe it is a late Christmas present
  8. I think there is a modification that adds a BB code to create a box similar to that the mods use here. You need to install a mod first that allows you to add extra BB codes. The links are below, tell us if its any good. Install this one first: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=821728 Then this one: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  9. The problem with law on the Internet is that everyone is governed by the laws in the country they are in at that time. On the Internet there is a wide mix of people from all across the world, and they each have their own laws. For example, here in Britain anything you create, type, draw or say is immediately copyright to yourself, whether you put a notice on it or not. However, in other countries you have to put a notice clearly visible on the work, or even register it, in the same way as a patent.What may be legal for someone is illegal for someone else, and as it is very hard to tell exactly who anyone is on the Internet it can be difficult to prove that anyone has done anything illegal.Also, as you are faceless on the Internet, there is nothing to identify you except an IP address. If you're behind a proxy or have a dynamic IP it can be very hard to trace it to a specific computer, and then there is no proof as to who was using the computer at the time.
  10. I've read all about these disks. Supposedly in Japan they already have Blu-Ray players and disks on sale, and people have been buying them and enjoying them. I also saw a demo once of the new disks versus DVDs, and the picture quality is a lot better, especially on larger screens and projectors.I just get annoyed that the technology moves so fast, and mass corporations can always keep up with new technology, but its slightly harder for the home user.
  11. The thing a lot of people seem to get wrong on Trap 17 is that when you enter the database name, you have to prefix it with your username. For example, if you created a database called info the database name would be psychiccyberfreak_info. This only applies for T17. If you're running it on your own PC then you don't need to prefix it. Also, make sure you have done everything in the 'step-by-step' process. Connect to MySQL Select the database Carry out the query Loads of people miss out one of the first two, or both, and just expect it to intuitively know all your MySQL login data. As many people have said, having a copy of the script would be helpful.
  12. Merry Chirstmas to everyone here at Trap 17!You have all been very helpful to me, and this is a great community. Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year
  13. You need to change the variable 'pausebetweenimages'. it is on line 12 of the first section of code, the bit that goes into the head section.By default it is set to 3000ms (3 seconds). Simply change it to suit your requirements. Remember it is in milliseconds, so multiply the time in seconds by 1000 to get it in milliseconds (e.g. 2.5 seconds is 2500 milliseconds).
  14. I think the host is 'localhost'. Thats what I have always used for all my database stuff, and it has always worked. I think most hosts, because they run their own MySQL service locally, can use 'localhost' as the host name.
  15. Up until recently I was using some generic, unbranded stereo speakers that came free with my old computer. When I got a new PC I got an excellent Logitech 5.1 surround sound set, and the difference is very clear. The sound is much clearer and more involving and realistic. They also look pretty good in a black gloss, with silver speaker cones. The sub-woofer creates a clear and loud bass, but doesn't distort at all.They are about ?50 in the UK and I would recommend them to anyone.
  16. I haven't tested this, but it should work $max_length = 25;$title = "This is the title which is a little too long so it needs to be shortened.";$title_length = strlen($title);if ($title_length > $max_length){ $title = substr_replace($title, '...', $max_length);}echo $title;It's pretty self explanitory. If you have any problems or it totally fails to work then feel free to ask!
  17. It is using a database on your Trap 17 hosting. The database can be accessed by clicking on the PhpMyAdmin link in cPanel, and it works like a spreadsheet, with tables holding various bits of information in rows. When it says it is using your database, it is using one on your hosting.If you installed it using Fantastico in cPanel then I am presuming it set all the database stuff up for you, and as long as it works then you don't really need to worry about it
  18. Well, it's not exactly Opera friendly at the moment: https://imageshack.com/static/go?id=d6sngfxtrap6fsp The general design looks great however adn I look forward to the final version. Notice from KuBi: Fixed BBCodes.
  19. Why would you pay for Google? Everything they provide can be found in various other places. Yes, it's nice to have everything in one place, but I wouldn't pay for that advantage.
  20. According to most people, symbolics.com is the oldest registered domain, registered on 15th March 1985. Some people also say that http://info.cern.ch/ is the oldest site, although you can no longer access it. That was Burners-Lee's test server. Microsoft obviously claims it was them, supposedly generating help pages that were fetched off of the Internet. The military is also an obvious choice, and although some of the original information is probably still available, the general public can't really access it! I don't think anyone really thought of documenting it at the time, so I don't think we will ever know the true answer, we can only guess.
  21. The first site I ever made was about 4 years ago, and it was basically me testing a load of HTML code, JavaScript and a little bit of PHP eventually, and putting all my scripts up for download. That was on Lycos, and I have since migrated to the excellent Trap 17, but I didn't copy my old site, I decided to start a fresh site with a new design. Just to make my life easier at the moment I'm using Wordpress, but that may change when I have the time.
  22. You can use an SQL command to list all of the table names in a database. For example: <?phpmysql_connect(localhost,username,password);$query = "SHOW TABLES FROM database";$tables = mysql_query($query);?> The variable $tables will then contain all of the names of the tables. Hope this helps you.
  23. Have you got a link for this service? It sounds quite interesting.
  24. I live in Britain and there are loads of complaints about the government's plans to put CCTV cameras everywhere, literally. They want every single square inch of the country covered, supposedly to make it easier to catch criminals. There have also been stories of people setting up loads of CCTV cameras around MPs' homes just to get their reaction and make a point.This paper does make you wonder if there is someone, or something, watching you .
  25. Well, the error 404 page looks very nice, but thats all I can see. Are you sure thats the right link?
