yes i know that it would be a domain normally. which is why i said for arguments sake... and i also know just /main.css would work... but im trying to do what skunkbad said and simply learn how to do it. that actull setup i have is completely different to this, i just made a quick example on here. i want to have 1 global variable page called global.php with something like this to be used on each php page. $url = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; would i have to use include to include the global file on each page. or is there a way to just make the variables accessible from all pages sorry if this isnt making much sense.

Hi all, So im trying to improve on my PHP as my knowledge isn't that great. lets say for argument sake my ip is: 192.168.0.1 im trying to set a external variable to set this as the url. so on each page i use, for each link instead of typing out the ip address i can simply type: <a href="{url}/index.php">Home</a> and then if it is possible, to do something like this: <link rel="stylesheet" href="{url}/main.css" type="text/css"> all in one file so in my php pages i can simple include 1 php file and it will have all of the relevant stylesheets ect linked to it.

Im not interested in learning to program though. i simply needed the database for something else. as soon as thats setup i wont be using it again. couldn't you just help i im guessing you know how to do this stuff.

Ok the only problem is. i dont really know much about databases. Im simply following a tutorial. and this hasn't happened in the tutorial :/ sorry i know it must be frustrating getting people who dont truly know what theyre doing

ok i have loaded a .sql file into PHPmyadmin. it is giving me this error :/ what can i do? im using this version: Server version: 5.6.16 - MySQL Community Server (GPL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SQL query: /*!40000 ALTER TABLE `group_members` ENABLE KEYS */; -- Dumping structure for table bc.help_subjects CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `help_subjects` ( `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `caption` varchar(100) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; MySQL said: #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `help_subjects` ( `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL A' at line 6
