  • Python is a Welsh ninja??? I don't have any recent images of me that are on my computer or which I can scan (I don't have any decent pictures because I hate having them taken... I prefer to be behind the camera).
  • Well, depending on how you coded it, the results should be listed accoring to the "ORDER BY" bit of your mySQL query unless you're going for something more complex such searching for individual words and the whole search term (so "I h…
  • mySQL isn't case sensitive, so it should get the same results no matter what case they are in. The web directory script I'm working on brings up results for "web" without bothering about if I searched for "WEB", "wEb" o…
  • I never really kept track but I'd say it's been since about 1998, 1999, so about 6 years or so... I basically started as a typical n00b with HTML, but managed to pick up HTML 4.01. CSS was easy to get to grips with and updating my HTML skills to XHT…
  • It's true that you can't completely protect your images because of the print screen thing. JavaScript is of little help too since the user can turn it off in their browser. Using PHP, you can make a script which will only allow images to load if the…
  • Bleh... Some people on Gamingw.net (where Felix and I came from) have called me one of the best designers there, but I really don't think that's true despite my knowlage of XHTML, CSS and such. I don't like to be called a professional level web code…
  • (Quote) I think so... Did you make sure the following lines point to the right places:define("fontdir", "/path/to/images/ttf" ); define("font", "hlmc____.pfb" ); $witty_file = (ABSPATH . "wp-content…
  • Hmm... The font error might be caused by you not having the TTF font uploaded and the directory set up in the script. I'm not sure about the first error since I hac only see one place that sends headers in the code I did. The second one is caused by…
  • Try this (my PHP skills with GD aren't brilliant, but it may work): [php] <?php // image_header.php // Generate dynamic text banner images using TTF fonts and PHP. // Copyright 2003, The Johns Hopkins University, All rights reserved. // Author: …
  • If you haven't told PHP to change anything in the database, it shouldn't. I have never heard of this happening before and it's never happened to me. The only things I can think of would be a code error, which you pretty much ruled out, a problem wit…
  • Linking to your site usually helps.
  • Stan, I was making the point that the only way you can properly encrypt the flash file so that it couldn't easily be cracked would be to use such cumbersome and dibilitating algorythms and techniques. Any encoding abilities Flash has itself have bee…
  • Erm, I was talking about the crap code you've used. Firefox has a W3C validator, based on Tidy, a tool I highly reccomend if you don't want to keep using the W3C site validator. With it, Firefox (a highly W3C compliant browser) found 10 errors and g…
  • Yeah, that shows along with half a million other errors. Also, the logo text looks awful as there's too much white around it (makes it look like you use M$ Paint).
  • SSI is ServerSide Includes. CGI is Common Gateway Interface. Perl is the correct spelling as this quote from the FAQ on Perl.com shows:(Quote) Perl was called Perl because there was already a product available called Pearl. Perl.org thinks Perl is t…
  • You can communicate with flass apps using the Flash fscommand() function. I used this in an old Delphi app I was building so I could have a partly flash based GUI, but I'm not sure how you'd go about doing e-mail attachments with it. fscommand() is …

  • Sorry, but I think you need to go and hit the guys at Avatar Systems because there's more holes in the code than even a complete newbie would cause. On your main site, there's no apparent end to the code, which seems to make Firefox 1.x display ever…
  • It's true, you cannot encrypt Flash files. The reason for this is that the Flash player on the end user computer has to be able to interpret what's going on in the animation so it can run it. SWF files are compiled to a kind of code that's not reall…
  • PHP stands for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor. It's a recursive acronym, meaning the acronym is featured within itself. PHP did stand for Personal HomePages, but it changed. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and was developed by Tim Berners-Lee,…
  • My first impressions are that the site is well designed. It looks professional and is pretty easy to navigate although there's little on the main page that says anything about your product other than an image with a few brief feature descriptions. T…
  • Oh dear, three and a half sheep is a big waste when you can do it with as little as one cat and some lime juice. There's little point in writing a fully functional CMS tutorial with XML feeds and compliant code as if you can't simply tie two smaller…
  • My posts usually end up too long. I thought it was more like: IIS: unicicle with a sqare wheel and a flat tyre. Apache: McLaren F1 (record holder for the fastest road legal car you can buy, or it was, at least).
  • Hi. I would agree with CBG that it'd be a nice idea to do as others have and give more information about yourself. Doing so will enable other members to hep you out more, should you ever require our assistance :/
    in hi guys Comment by Nuvo August 2005
  • Personally, I have never bothered to pay for advertising, even when I owned my biggest site (tsmedia.org) which was where I put stuff up I had made, such as web design tools and scripts. If you know what you're doing, it's quite possible to get peop…
  • (Quote) I sure hope you were kidding about using IIS >:[ The only two servers I have ever used are Xitami, which is good sor a simple localhost if you have no experience of using a server, and Apache, the best server available... EVER. Apache wou…
  • Costs $60 without the DDR RAM (something like £30-ish here). DDR333 RAM UK prices range from £10 (128, excluding VAT) to £1794.99 (4GB, excluding VAT) from Crucial.com. This is pretty much useless if you use Linux since it clearly says it'll only…
  • Erm, what I meant was that rather than having the form go to $PHP_SELF, you could try $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]. I don't actually know much JavaScript, so you'd need to look up that code yourself.
  • I'm not entirely sure what you mean. If you mean that the form doesn't update when the combobox changes, that's a JavaScript issue. PHP doesn't work like that, it only runs through a script when it's loading, not when it's already finished loading (…
  • My site is currently down, as it the site owned by the guy who hosts me (leafo.net), but I hope to either find a decent free host or a cheap one since I am currently working on a web directory that's focused on computer use and design in general (no…
  • For keeping line breaks, you'd just need to make the script look through the content for instances of \n and change them to <br> or <br /> depending on what version of HTML you're using. You can do this easily like so:/* say you have the…
