Do you know what refutes this? Those who do remember about the time before they were born, also known as reincarnation or having a past life. But let us touch more on the implications of your statement. There are many things that it brings up, which mostly follows from the others, and what it allows. For one, we could emphasize the word "born." Did we exist before we were born? If born means coming out of the womb, then most certainly we existed before we were born. We did not have any previous memory before we were born and it will be like that after we die, you say? What does that mean? It means it allows for existence after death except without any previous memory. So then life doesn't end at death. If life doesn't end at death, then there is obviously some kind of dualism going on here, where the conscious or spirit is separate from the body and only the body dies. So what if you chose to define "born" as "before you were ever conceived"? In order to even ask such a question with such a presumption you would have to, again, assume pre-existence. Assuming pre-existence, again, allows for the same kind of dualism as the kind that was already mentioned, which, again, means life after death. Therefore, in either case, what is your argument? Instead, now, you are perhaps left to rethink things about death and existence, perhaps even on why these things exist. So, i shall ask you, Is there life after death?

Php Mail() Special Charaters How do I parce them correctly?
truefusion replied to Jonnyabc's topic in Programming
The htmlentities() function has a second parameter that allows you to pass a constant in specifically for quotes. Use ENT_NOQUOTES if you don't want both the single and double quotes to be converted to HTML entities. On another note, if you are building this feedback form from scratch, be sure you have taken measures to prevent header injection. You normally don't have to worry about the body (in this case $Message), since it is always at the bottom. -
But if this concerns earning profit, it would touch on a matter other than what was brought up by the topic starter. Even if new users find the wealth of forums intimidating, i wouldn't expect that to affect profit, mostly due to the fact that people who come here are focusing their attention on the word "free" in "free hosting." Yeah, those who aren't members can potentially be customers of Xisto - Web Hosting; but even those that are members are also potential customers of Xisto's paid services. I know that the back-up income deals with guests, since the pages Google indexes are usually the part of the forums that are filled with advertisements. But those pages aren't the forum's index. I could probably think of a user interface for the forum's index that may make things less intimidating, but we would not be able to know how well it will be received until implemented. Yeah, we could probably throw out some mock-ups to our members and see how they receive it, but functionality deals with interaction, and i have no idea how to make IPB themes.

The way information is laid out and how fast it is to reach a certain destination does not prevent GUI-literate people from using a website. This has been proven through MySpace's history and other websites. But you appear to be falsely comparing websites. Let us consider social media in general. Why do people use it? The most common reason for using any social media website is: "My friends use it." It's not, "Because the layout is just that good!"A lot of people for some odd reason have taken a liking to the way facebook looks and (or) works and therefore started riding the facebook train. The reason for it i am uncertain, but obviously they feel they're going to gain something from it. Social media websites like facebook and Twitter, et cetera, are geared for different things and do not contain the amount of content a forum is capable of, therefore making it easier to display and broadcast data. While this forum's purpose is to promote content, it is on a different level than the websites you have referenced.Digg is an online bookmark and their front page has a similar layout to that of any directory. There is nothing organized about it in the sense that you ambiguously bring up. Unless you choose to take notice of one of the categories at the top, then there is no organization that you ambiguously mention. Why can Digg afford to have such a simple navigation? Because the content on their site is minimal in the context of simple bookmarking. The fact that you are allowed to comment on each bookmark is an attempt on their part to keep visitors on their site, making the bookmarked site appear like a temporary reading.When it comes to a forum there is more of interest than that of the sites you mention. To use Digg as an example, visitors generally would not care about who bookmarked the site on Digg; even commenting on a bookmark does not require you to acknowledge the poster. Relationships, therefore, are less likely to happen. On a forum relationships can happen, of which may also extend to outside the forum. In this case it is leaning more to what facebook is. However, a forum is normally geared toward a specific interest, therefore you have more things in common with the other users.Chores, also, do not necessarily prevent people from using a site or service. But this area normally concerns the person's personality. Consider: Is it not a chore to sign up to anything? Is it not a chore to log in to anything? People will make these "sacrifices" if they are interested. Yeah, making the process easier to complete these tasks should always be a concern, but time will always be wasted for something. Concerning the forums' organization, what is it about it that makes it seem like a chore? The forums are organized no different than most other forums. Saying it is "unorganized" is not enough information.The technologies used by a website or service is itself a business decision, so though it may seem like a "cool thing to do," it does not mean that it is necessary to make use of it. What you bring up concerns mostly the design aspect of the forums, so the technologies that it makes use of is a bit irrelevant. Yeah, it may be nice to have a different layout, but what is it about the usual forum layout that disinterests you?

Assume you have been hired at a hotel and are working front desk, having to check people in and out of the hotel. Also assume you are working at night time. Your boss comes in and informs you that the hotel is entirely booked for the day (night) and cannot offer any more rooms for any new guests wishing to stay the night and therefore have to be relocated to another hotel under the same company. Upon returning to your post, a minute later a guest comes in and orders a room. The guest has not had a good day and is slightly tired, therefore increasing the chances of him becoming more upset. Since all the rooms are booked, you have to inform the guest of their relocation. How would you handle this situation?

If it'll make things easier for you, just focus on the steps numbered from 1 through 4 and forget about everything else on that page. Afterwards, you can acquaint yourself with the rules here in hopes of assuring hosting.

Forum Text Editor Problems Another query...
truefusion replied to 230359's topic in Web Hosting Support
You might be using the rich text editor (which i never use). Go here and scroll down a bit till you see Posting Settings. If you have the text editor set to rich text editor, change it to standard and see if that helps. -
To access your site's cPanel, just append "cpanel" to the end of your site's address. For example, if your site is located at yoursite.trap17.com, you can log in to the cPanel through yoursite.trap17.com/cpanel

Anyone heard of OpenShot? It is a video editor for Linux. I'd say it is new if it weren't for the fact that it is said that the project was started back in 2008. There are a lot of video editors for Linux, so what makes this one so special? For me, it is actually the first video editor i've used that can actually be called a video editor that has not crashed on me not even once, allowing me to actually finish any personal video projects. For those of you who have dealt with whatever video editors available for Linux, they've most likely have either crashed on you before even being able to get started, did not have the desired or expected features, or perhaps were not able to import your videos. OpenShot, by the way it is going, i am willing to say, is better than Windows movie maker. While the interface still requires a little bit of fine tuning, the features and stability are enough to get you to want to use OpenShot above all the other video editors for Linux. It supports a lot of video and audio codecs and allows you to pick whichever one you have installed, not necessarily favoring one above the other. The project appears to be under heavy development, version 1.1 having come out just a few days ago. Aside from some GUI quirks (which don't prevent you from being productive but can be slightly annoying before understanding how to work with them), the only other thing that was a bit off was the audio playback breaking up every now and then—but this does not affect the final product when you export the project to video. For Linux users who have been desiring for a better video editor that is easy to use, stable, and contains a decent amount of features, i highly recommend this video editor.

Normally you'd expect people to rush to log in to Newegg and give the product one egg for receiving a fake Intel CPU (perhaps even with a complaint that states they couldn't give the product 0 eggs). However, unless this one is not the one, none of the bad reviews mention anything about receiving a fake CPU. So, as i would expect from any company, it appears like the problem should have already been taken care of—though, in either case, you could always request for a replacement.

As rejected pointed out, it has been moved to a more appropriate place. The Xisto Answers forum is not the proper forum to be asking questions or bringing up queries about the service. The Xisto Answers forum is for guests, not users, to make topics in. If you ever want to view the posts you made, you can do the following: go to your profile and click on the word "Options" on the left side, near the top where your personal image is. A list will a appear giving you a few options. Pick the one you are interested in.

For the obvious ones, look for the ones with the Linux penguin in their avatars. I started using it (i.e. Kubuntu) back when my first hard drive failure occurred. I was running off of live CD till my new hard drive arrived; the live CD made it possible for me to order things online and still use my computer (though limited use). Ubuntu, mostly for its ease of use and repository. I have in the past dealt with Knoppix, Fedora, Mandriva and Gentoo and some custom flavors of Ubuntu, like Mepis and Linux Mint. Mandriva would have to be my second favorite. I learned a lot when using Gentoo, though. Linux is my primary operating system, too. I had tried that a long time ago but gave up; i couldn't get passed a certain make error. Can't remember for what, but it was probably for glibc. If i tried again today, i could probably get by it.

Just use substr_replace() in combination with strpos() (unless you already know the exact position, then you can skip strpos()).

Disregarding the support ticket and the tech support responses, the only problem (information) you bring up deals with FrontPage, not anything on the server side. Tech Support is for server-side things, not for things that are out of their control. If you can log in to your site through cPanel, then everything is fine on the server-side pertaining to your log-in information. It sounds like you are trying to make use of FrontPage's FTP features. The last time i used FrontPage was back in high school, and even then i found it to be annoying and mostly inadequate for my purposes, so i'm not sure how to help you.But with any program like this, they (should) have the ability to bring up the log-in form via the interface, whether in the menus, tool bars or side panels. The manual should provide this information, perhaps searching for "publish" (the process for uploading files is normally called "publishing your site"), or similar, in the manual.

It's kind of weird for Newegg to have let such a thing happen. I can't imagine it was due to people returning a product, given their return policy—they even check for manuals (which not many read). I don't think a business would miss out on an opportunity to not refund a person. 300 fake Intel processors, that's too many to be just random people returning things. Rather, it seems more like it is something bigger. I don't purchase Intel processors anyway, but this seems like it can happen for any product, not just processors, and for any business.

A few words about iGuest and users with the prefix iG: These aren't regular, registered users. iGuest is a special account that allows guests to post in the forums without having to register with the forums.

Help With Html Redirection.
truefusion replied to Soviet Rathe's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Showing us the code won't help you, for there is no way to disable cache for certain HTML elements, only the whole page. The closest thing to what you are asking for is to shove the form into another page and load it from an iframe. Use PHP's header() function to inform the browser that it should not cache the page. Look at Example #2 Caching directives in the PHP manual for the header() function to see how to disable cache. -
Help With Html Redirection.
truefusion replied to Soviet Rathe's topic in Websites and Web Designing
The reason why it doesn't update is because of the browser, not necessarily the code you are using. The meta information anwiii provided should go on the page that you'll be redirecting to; the JavaScript, obviously, where you want the redirect to occur.If PRAMGA:NO-CACHE doesn't work, try CACHE-CONTROL:NO-CACHE <meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache"> -
Mkdir() Not Working In Php Help with php function mkdir()
truefusion replied to lnljamat's topic in Programming
Permissions deal with three things: read, write and execute. This does not mean you can delete the files. However, if you chmod a folder to 0777, you should be able to create and delete things in that folder from PHP freely—but so will everyone else. You can only change permissions to a file or directory from PHP if and only if the directory these files or directories are stored in allows you to. -
Mkdir() Not Working In Php Help with php function mkdir()
truefusion replied to lnljamat's topic in Programming
When you create a file or directory through FTP or through a control panel like cPanel, the owner (or perhaps group) of the files or directories are the same as the owner running the FTP server and the control panel, so they are both able to modify the files freely. When a user runs a script remotely that does similar tasks, the owner of the script being executed is different than that of the FTP server or control panel. Under an operating system such as Linux, unless other users are given permission to modify these files, then only the same owner as those files can do anything with them. -
I would put Kaspersky at the top as well, security wise. My reason does not include third-party reviews; rather, my judgment comes from this one website i came across a long time ago. The website for some reason was really hard to find, and i doubt i'd be able to find it again, but the website was some random, unofficial, online virus scanner. It only allowed a maximum file size but it would scan the file with at least 7 different popular virus scanners, Kaspersky being one of them. On the front page (or upload page) it would list the recent upload and the results of the scan. I would refresh the page every now and then to see new results. Out of all the ones i saw, Kaspersky had picked up the most out of all of them. Some of the free virus scanners listed on there did pretty good too. Performance wise, i would not put Kaspersky on the top, maybe the bottom or near it. Therefore if one is looking for a decent virus scanner that takes up less resources, they should consider other ones. Nod32 probably doesn't waste much resources, at least perhaps not as much as Kaspersky—though the ones with a high price tag tend to use a significant amount of resources, along with those you might find pre-installed on your system.

Well, when you get to the point that you are competent enough in PHP for making the complex scripts you mentioned, you will be using at least require(), for you can't have everything all in one page. As you should have received some insight from already in this topic, one of the things you should be learning is how to structure your script. require() and include() help bring things not only within the global scope of your script but also the local scope (depending on how you include them and are put to use). A hint to structuring your script: Try to separate whatever seems reasonable to do so. For example, say you want a lot of specific variables, even constants, to be accessible throughout your entire script, you could place them in for example, globals.php; or functions, functions.php. The point to this is that it will be easier to maintain your code. When including scripts, i would recommend using require_once() or include_once() instead of require() and include(). These not only help prevent unnecessary inclusions but will also help prevent recursive inclusions. While the recursive inclusion may be due to the fact that the script layout was laid out improperly (at least concerning PHP), there may still be a case where two files depend on each other. In this case, require_once() and include_once() may prevent you from noticing any flawed layouts, it at least allows you to continue being productive without having to worry about the potential recursion. Also, there may be a case where you would want to include the same script twice on the same page. In this case, require_once() and include_once() would be unreasonable.

Although by the time anyone provides any advice you may have already installed the thing, here is some advice anyway: Put on your wish list an AM3 motherboard (even if it is a micro ATX one). Aside from perhaps any extra megahertz gained from this new processor, the most you will likely be able to get anything else from it would be perhaps that it uses less energy than the other one did.And although i don't recall hearing about AM2 motherboards being able to support AM3 processors, if it is the case for you, you may or may not require a BIOS update. In this case you'll have to retain the AM2 processor (since the computer won't boot with the AM3 processor) and update the BIOS with the AM2 processor (or 939 processor, whatever it is you are replacing—i can't remember what you had).

Mkdir() Not Working In Php Help with php function mkdir()
truefusion replied to lnljamat's topic in Programming
The permission you want to CHMOD the directory to is 0777 (i.e. give full rights to everyone). The reason why it worked on your local computer is probably because you are running Windows (as someone from a Unix background shouldn't of had this problem). -
That method of inclusion does not allow for multiple pages (though it may allow for multiple templates of the very same page if you were to change the content of layout.php and layout2.php). Currently your structure implies a layout of three sections (though they may not be named in this way): header, body and footer. The problem about your structure is that you are using your index.php as the body also. The index is better off being the one that joins everything, where the header, body and footer are all separate from the index. The header and footer may vary depending on the complexity of the system. However, your system seems to deal with mostly HTML and does not appear to make a lot of use of PHP's other features. For that reason, the header can be used to include everything that would appear in the <head> element; the body for the <body> element; and the footer doesn't seem to be of any use in this case, so you may leave it out. In turn, your index will contain the <html> element and will include the header and the body. Of course, if your body only contains HTML, then this method will also only work for one page (unless you change the content of the body). The difference now is that things will be easier to work with in the long run, but this only if you choose to make the system more complex. If your system will only be including plain HTML without any dynamics provided by PHP, then there is no need to include anything, and all that requires being done is placing all the HTML in your index. However, if you choose to make the system more complex, then you'll be basically attempting to make your own content management system.
