It looks really clean.  When I clicked a link I expected the content area to reload without the entire page reloading.  You can do this with AJAX.  Slap up some AJAX and then it will be a clean, smooth, transtiition when people click links ;)  If you need help, check out ajaxfreaks.com

Apart from the freelance stuff I do in my spare time, and the video store I manage (my parents own :( ) I work as the System Administrator for the college I attend.  Baiscally I keep the firewall up, the ports forwarded/blocked, monitor online activity, ensure no one is doing anything illegal, monitor network activity, fix network/router problems, fix teachers computer problems, fix the problems in the tv classes, and manage four of the five computer labs on campus.  Primarly I am a linux user, but the person over the computer stuff on campus is a microsoft fan, so everything is run on windows.  It is an interesting job, and never a dull day.  Just yesterday there was a kid who had 100 connections open on one computer! I got to capture the packets, inspect them, see what was happening, send him a message over the network, and kill his internet access for one month...all done from a remote computer at my home :) Behold the power!

phpfreak, if I were you just make a fake email address or something for that...or an @phpfreaks.com email address.  Because when we recieve notifications from the forums, it says were really recieveing them from your email address. It might help cut back a bit if you made an email like noreply@phpfreaks.com or something and inserted into that.

This would be cool, but phpfreaks.com might be getting one very soon. Something Ober and I have asked eric about for some time. Now were just waiting on FTP access :)

Please be more exact on what you want to do.  Give us a greater detail. EDIT: Are you wanting to make it so if something dosn't exist a page will create it for you?  Just something that hit me that might be what you want.

okay just calm down. First, and for most, do you still have the PM? If so, forward it to me. I be able to see if it was from him or not, and if so as an admin I will take care of it.  So just send it to me, if you deleted it look in your trash, and I will take care of it for you. I would ask that you don't PM him back, as it could make problems much worse.  this is best if left to an admin or mod.

Yes. You need to learn the database structure for vBulletin and then create a query to bring out the desired information using mysql.

If I were you, I would code it all from scratch.  You learn more, you get a good feeling when you complete the project, it is something you can call your own, and best of all....when you want to edit or add something, you done know the code structure and don't have to go in and learn it.

Yes!  Good point SemiApocalyptic. I was just using those as examples, and I was in a rush. LOL!  But please do use a descriptive subject.  Sorry I didn't make them better.

I started this board for those who have questions about another programming language.  Are you having trouble with some Ruby code, Perl code, or other code?  Just post it here and someone will try and help you. For best results, include the langauge in your subject. Examples are below: Subject:  [Ruby] Not Working Right Subject  [Ruby on Rails]  Somethings Wrong Subject  [C++] Got a small question Subject  [Perl]  Help! Those are just a few examples, but you get the general idea.  In this way you can ensure that whoever reads your topic knows a small bit about the langauge your topic is about. 

serverpowered.com That is the best for VPS and Dedicate.... WebHostFreaks.com is the best for reseller hosting and normal web hosting.  Both sites provide CPanel, offer a lot, great uptime, and low prices.

go into your apache and add .xml as an extension that php will parse ;)

WINDOWS ME!!! I can't stand windows, but even I know that ME is the worst OS they came out with. Dude, downgrade to 98 if you have to, just get rid of ME.

backup your www file, uninstall your current wamp version, and download/install WAMP5.  The wamp version you have is a bit buggy.  WAMP5 is a bit more stable ;)

you could always do: RewriteRule /forums          /forums/        [R] RewriteRule /images        /images/      [R] RewriteRule /includes      /includes/      [R] So on and so forth.

HTML is the EASIER language to learn than PHP, but PHP is the EASIER langauge to work with.  HTML is all design. You have to know when, where, etc to put the tags to make the design pretty.  For PHP you just have to code it according to the guidelines and it either works or it dosn't.  PHP is not a designing code like html, so it makes it easier to work with PHP...but HTML is easier to learn.

I do.  Make a web site. ;)  The best way to learn is to apply it to a project.  You can't just sit down and start remebering tags...you have to use them.

If we did that people would just end up posting in it instead of AJAXFreaks. I will see if I can link a forum board to the AJAXFreaks site though.

HTML is pretty widely known. If your learning php it is assumed you know a bit about HTML.  That is why we provide a HTML board on this forum...in case you need a bit of HTML help here and there.  HTML is the easiest language to learn when it comes to web design.

Don't use FC...no offence obsidian.  With FC you have all of their images and logos and crap built into the GUI. Yuck!  Ubuntu is okay, but it is very...sluggish IMO.  With Gentoo, you need to make sure you get the download that matches your processor, etc.  They have a variety of different ones...and you only need the ISO boot disk...assuming you have your computer hooked to the net.  From there it is pie. CentOS is equally as easy to install, and is good for non GUI users.

GENTOO! I love it...It makes a perfect OS if you are going for X Server and all that jazz. If your installing it on a machine that you plan on accessing remotly and not using any GUI, go with CentOS

haha!  You can get an email alias, if he will set it up. Basically, everything sent to @phpfreaks.com will actually be sent to your real email account. Then you just set it up, gmail makes it easy, so when you send emails back it makes it look like it is comming from your @phpfreaks.com email addy.

if you need help learning HTML, what are you doing at a PHP site???

Yeah. I own NetGeekz Inc. and all its network sites...thus, my email will obviously be a netgeekz email ;) LOL!  Mayhaps I will ask eric for @thewebfreaks.com or @phpfreaks.com for us Ober.

Just email the article to netgeekz@gmail.com or eric@thewebfreaks.com
