  2. I think graduation from any level is a particularly important event. It marks a milestone in the path you have chosen.Phd Grads right down to Kindergarten graduates each share that 'special' moment together with each other and also they tend to reflect on where they have been (what they went through), where they are (presently), and where they are heading (moving on).Graduating the Sixth grade is no different than graduating High School, College or University, except for the fact that one graduation needs to be completed and passed through to get to the next one.Congratulations on achieving this milestone, good luck in the next phase of your journey and best wishes in the adventure.
  3. I sent you a message from the site. Check for the receipt of same.

  5. Google Sketch Up is a software available from Google Services that allow you to Draft, Layout, or generally 'sketch up' designs in two dimensions or in a full 3D mock-up format. The 'Pro' version also allows for exchanging data and designs with other more professional software packages, like Autocad, Turbocad, and many more. Similar to a drafting program in that you can do a layout of a design and then extrude it into a 3d shape. As you design 'parts' for the design, you can then orbit around the 'part' and check all 6 planes. 'Parts' can be joined into composites that Google calls 'components and groups so you can copy and paste assemblies of repeating items which consist of other smaller parts. Changing the smaller components then alter all occurences of the assemblies. The software also allows for 'subtracting' areas from the 3D element, so it displays as a void in the design. The 'Sandbox' is a tool that will layout a topographical 'map', or terrain. You design the terrain and it will map the ground for the sketch. Another really cool thing about the software is that once you have built a Model, you can then link it to Google Earth. Imagine your house showing in 3D on that... awesome. Google Sketch Up: http://www.sketchup.com/ Download: http://www.sketchup.com/?section=downloads Warehouse of Shared Designs: https://www.google.com/sketchup/3dwh/ I plan on using the software to develop 3D Models of houses that i work on/design. There seems to be quite an active Support Community and Tutorials abound on the Internet. It will be cool to see what the Xisto members design with this package. Please upload your designs here to this sub-forum. Open a new Topic for each one, in keeping with the Policy of not hi-jacking threads.
  6. Have you read these links/tutorials yet?
  7. I suggest you review the list of available CMS packages.An example of a simple one is mylittlecms (google it), or snews. More complex ones would be Wordpress or Joomla.It would avoid having to re-invent the wheel (cms), although it might be a good practise for learning php, it can be frustrating and will definitely take longer than installing from a package.
  8. Having the xml declaration in the first line of the page will put IE into Quirks mode. I'd suggest removing it and see what happens. You might need to adjust the heights a little, or margins/padding, etc, but get all the Browsers into Standards Mode will/should make it easier to control. Quirks Mode is a crap shoot. You never know what you will be able to control or how.
  9. The download link in the opening post is the place to download the newest Safari browser from.They must do some Browser sniffing, because that gave me the Safari (windows) version. And it works a treat.
  10. A truly "retro" computer would take up the space of an average house and weigh a few tons... The first "main-frame" I wrote any programs on took the space of a basketball court and had a bazillion feet of "tape" to spool every day. And it was a small one (at the time) An IBM 360. Go do some research on them. It would likely struggle to keep up with your wrist-watch for speed and accuracy. And to think that they sent a man to the Moon using that technology... fantastic work.
  11. See your other thread. http://forums.xisto.com/topic/56706-demonlords-db-topic/ Also notice that I have closed this topic. You have 3 about the same issue.
  12. Would a Comment script help? The Users could ask you questions and then you reply?Display all the Q's & A's on a page?Do you have a link to a site which uses this script so we can see it in action? I'm not certain I understand exactly what you need.There are other cutenews-like scripts out there. Xnews for instance.
  13. Wow, fast doesn't say it all...Quite impressive response time to queries. Man, I wish Safari and Opera had the FF Web Developers Extension.
  14. Assuming a database structure as per this SQL: ---- Database: `test`---- ------------------------------------------------------------ Table structure for table `users`--CREATE TABLE `users` ( `name` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, `date` datetime NOT NULL, `message` varchar(100) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`name`)) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci;*edit* changed the datatype of the date to better reflect the needs of the program. It now saves date and timestamp.I assume that you will be able to adjust the Database (or this code) to suit.Here is a page that will request the user's name and their message, then INSERT the information into the 'users' table of the 'test' database.You will need to change the Database information to suit your particular set-up.<?php // Send NOTHING to the Web browser prior to the header() line!// Check if the form has been submitted.if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {// require_once ('mysql_connect_test.php'); // Connect to the db. DEFINE ('DB_USER', 'username');DEFINE ('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');DEFINE ('DB_HOST', 'localhost');DEFINE ('DB_NAME', 'test');error_reporting (E_ALL); // set error reporting to all// Make the connection.$dbc = @mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD) OR die ('Could not connect to MySQL: ' . mysql_error() );// Select the database.@mysql_select_db (DB_NAME) OR die ('Could not select the database: ' . mysql_error() );// Create a function for escaping the data.function escape_data ($data) { // Address Magic Quotes. if (ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')) { $data = stripslashes($data); } // Check for mysql_real_escape_string() support. if (function_exists('mysql_real_escape_string')) { global $dbc; // Need the connection. $data = mysql_real_escape_string (trim($data), $dbc); } else { $data = mysql_escape_string (trim($data)); } // Return the escaped value. return $data;} // End of function. $errors = array(); // Initialize error array. // Check for a first name. if (empty($_POST['name'])) { $errors[] = 'You forgot to enter your name.'; } else { $n = escape_data($_POST['name']); } // Check for a message. if (empty($_POST['message'])) { $errors[] = 'You forgot to enter your message.'; } else { $m = escape_data($_POST['message']); } if (empty($errors)) { // If everything's OK. // Register the user in the database. // Check for previous registration. // Make the query. $query = "INSERT INTO users ( name, date, message ) VALUES ( '$n', NOW(), '$m' )"; $result = @mysql_query ($query); // Run the query. if ($result) { // If it ran OK. // Send an email, if desired. // Redirect the user to the thanks.php page. // Start defining the URL. $url = '/' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); // Check for a trailing slash. if ((substr($url, -1) == '/') OR (substr($url, -1) == '\\') ) { $url = substr ($url, 0, -1); // Chop off the slash. } // Add the page. $url .= '/thanks.php'; header("Location: $url"); exit(); } else { // If it did not run OK. $errors[] = 'You could not be registered due to a system error. We apologize for any inconvenience.'; // Public message. $errors[] = mysql_error() . '<br /><br />Query: ' . $query; // Debugging message. } } // End of if (empty($errors)) IF. mysql_close(); // Close the database connection. } // End of the main Submit conditional.// Begin the page now.$page_title = 'Register';// include ('./includes/header.html');if (!empty($errors)) { // Print any error messages. echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Error!</h1> <p class="error">The following error(s) occurred:<br />'; foreach ($errors as $msg) { // Print each error. echo " - $msg<br />\n"; } echo '</p><p>Please try again.</p>';}// Create the form.?><h1>Input Area</h1><p>This is where you'll put the main page content. This content will differ for each page. This is where you'll put the main page content. This content will differ for each page. This is where you'll put the main page content. </p><form action="insert.php" method="post"> <p>Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="15" maxlength="15" value="<?php if (isset($_POST['name'])) echo $_POST['name']; ?>" /></p> <p>Message: <input type="text" name="message" size="15" maxlength="30" value="<?php if (isset($_POST['message'])) echo $_POST['message']; ?>" /></p> <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Register" /></p> <input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE" /></form><?php// include ('./includes/footer.html');?>You will need a thanks.php page to go to if there are no errors during the INSERT. I'll leave that file up to you to write. Or it could go back to the Index.php, even. Adjust that to suit your situation.Hope this helps.
  15. The required Css file (style.css) is missing from the themes/default folder on your Hosting account.Click the link I posted up there to 'snag' the file, then cut and paste it into another file on your desktop, then FTP it to the location specified on your hosting account. Or go into Cpanel and copy it yto the correct location.
  16. You are missing a CSS file, or at least the Server can't find it. This is where it should be: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. If you are using the default theme, let me know if you require a new css file and I can send you one. Actually, here it is: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. I modded it to centre the heading and make the shoutbox taller, but you can find the changes near the top of the file and alter them to suit your site easily enough.
  17. Try Board as lower case "board" and you seem to lacking in the CSS department.
  18. Here is a link to the best php Author I know of. He refers to this as a 'sticky form' and this also includes the code for the Redux method so you can have the Form and handling of the Form on a single PHP page. redux sticky forms in php
  19. I use NOD32 and simply love it. The database of threats is updated automagically a few times daily and causes zero degradation of my system. Award-winning heuristics. Yes, it costs about $40. per year, but it is well worth the price. I formerly swore by AVG, but I find the NOD32 is far less obtrusive on the machine.
  20. Thirty five Gigs of FREE Web space will be a tough one to find, especially without Ads.I wish you all the best of luck, of course, but I doubt very much that you will be successful.
  21. Use 'localhost' and that should be fine.Database name, User name and password, too, of course.
  22. You should be fine.the rule in the TOS are to cover situations where a Member is using a copyrighted name, (ie: google) as their log-in.Obviously, google is too busy indexing our sites to bother making posts on the Trap.
  23. You will need to study the PHP manual and learn about the "GET" method. start here The basic are that you add a 'query string' to the URL in the Anchor tag, like so: <a href="target_page.php?info=this_information">Send Information 1</a>In the above example Anchor tag, "this_information" is the information being sent, and it is named "info" in the $_GET array.Then you need to write a php script that handles the information in the receiving file. The php.net site can be your best friend.
