We upgraded to SMF 2.0 today. It had some major changes including CSS changes and we lost some of our mods. Among these are: No topic solved Smaller code box/quote box font New font style The header is a bit messed up We know and we are working on it. Also, new stuff added: Warn system: Mods can now warn you and after so many warns you get auto banned by the system Cleaner layout WAP2 support We are still looking at what all was added/changed. Any question please post here. DO NOT START A NEW TOPIC! WE WILL CLOSE IT AND POINT YOU HERE!

thanks thorpe. I am so confused as to what he wants as well. If you want to be your own ISP you have to open a ISP provider business. But from somewhere you have to get internet (i think from the government) and it still has rules. If you want your own host get a POS computer and set up in your house, install linux on it, set it up as a web server, and make sure the outside world can access it (I do this and my unit cost me $200 one time fee, and all I pay for is my Cox cable and an added $30 per month that allows Port 80 and a static IP).

Supertrooper images were used to as restricted access images. We had that one first that if you tried to view an admin section on the main site you seen that. Then we changed it to one where a guy from supertroopers was flipping you off if you tried to access a restricted site.

I was a mod during the IPB era, and promoted to admin in the IPB era (near the end). I remember this because AJAXFreaks and such were on the old IPB system and PHPFreak and I had linked them up and gave me network wide admin access to the forums. Shortly before the change to SMF, or shortly after I can't remember, Ober was promoted to moderator. From there we decided that we wanted to do some work so PHPFreak promoted Ober to admin on the forum side, and then gave Ober and I server access shortly after. Before I was a mod there were two other admins with PHPFreak, who worked at The Web Freaks with PHPFreak. They were demoted to moderator around the time I was promoted to mod. From there we did a forum sweep, and they were demoted once more because it had been many months since they had visited the forums. Before that is ancient history that no one but Eric will remember. I think it involved two site design changes, I still have a snapshot of the VERY FIRST PHPFREAKS.COM DESIGN! Then we went to PHPFreaks 2.0 and then PHPFreaks 3.0. The original was in my member days, we went to 2.0 right before I was promoted to mod, and 3.0 right around the time I was promoted to admin. That is when Ober and I were promoted to become server admins as well as forum admins because 3.0 was just a new design with the old backend code from 1.0 ported forward and it was really buggy. Is that enough history for you? I don't think much more came before that. That was right around the time the site started kicking off. If you want more history, I can get nitty gritty. Nitty Gritty From how I remember it, Eric bought linuxforum.com. It was already an active site that he gained I believe through a purchase. From there we saw PHPFreaks, ApacheFreaks, and MySQLFreaks. From here you know the history all way up to the present. I will add though that right after 3.0 (and right after I was promoted to admin but before ober was promoted to admin) PHPFreak added AJAXFreaks to the mix because he had really gotten into it and wanted to provide a place of support for it.

Or maybe he knows some other language and his boss wants to give php/mysql a whirl. Man, he's lucky that I'm in such and understanding mood today because everyone else is doubting him

My manager/boss takes us to dinner when we do good. By dinner i mean goes to wal-mart across the street, buys a ton of cooked chicken and wings, and brings back to work and lets us eat it on the job.

This is from my old java class: * See PDF Attachment* [attachment deleted by admin]

Did you set up java correctly? I'd recommend Eclipse, also.

I think it is interesting how they bold the www.phpfreaks.com portion of the url and everything else is grayed out.

The "sandbox" feature of each time allows it to run faster, so i've read.

I'm posting now using Chrome. So far I like it, but I haven't used it near enough to give an accurate opinion. I'll post back later, and maybe a blog entry.

bah! how did i miss that? lol. i posted way to early in the morningl

Reading that article I get a feeling of it being some comical joke. Like something in the Onion. I mean it could be true, but things like Dark Matter and warp drives, and shrinking at the front and expanding at the back? I mean that last one there reminds me of Star Wars where the ship warps into hyperspace. The front kind of shrinks up, the back kind of expands, there is a pop, a sense of what looks like extreme forward motion, and then they are half way across the galaxy. Then again I could be wrong!

Everything fine on the arkansas/oklahoma border

can i see more of the code? Such as the rest of the form? and the PHP portion?

Where are you telling the difference between data and form? You should an if statment like so: if (!submit) { code for showing the form } else { code for showing the chosen category } On top of that, you need to grab the form data when the page refreshes using $POST['category'];, assign that to $category, and go from there. See if you can work with that. if you run into more problems, post what you have and I'll sit down and write up some actual code.

Can i see your Insert code? The block that inserts the value from the drop box into the database. Actually, you're using $PHP_SELF, so it should all be the same page, so can you post all the code here. If it is over 100 lines use pastebin.

When you call the page have it read the URL and match it against a database, and pull all the rows from the table matching the url column. What I would do is have a table called adverts set up like so: Table adverts: ad_id country city ad From the URL grab the .co.uk (or whatever) and match against country. If there is something before sitname.co.uk (or whatever...ex: london.sitename.co.uk) have it match both the country and the city. From there just pull down information and print it out. As far as file system goes, you'll probably only have files that are basic templates, and the entire site ran as a backend. For this, look into a framework. I really like Cakephp.

Try: <?php $categories=array(); $sql="SELECT * FROM client"; $result=mysql_query($sql); while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){ $categories[]=$row['type']; } echo '<form action="' . $PHP_SELF . '" method="post" id="type"> <select name="category">'; foreach ($categories as $category){ echo "<option >$category</option>\n"; } echo ' </select> <input type="submit" value="show" /> </form> '; ?> I think the main problem might have been your </select> was after the <input type...etc....>. Anyways, cleaned it up a bit, put it in order, and didn't break out of php so much. This way it is cleaner and easier to read and hopefully you'll be able to understand it a little better.

You can get it to highlight html as well. I forgot how, atm, but it is possible. Google it

For example, Eclipse. You make a breakpoint at line 3, and click the bug. It shows an alternate window in which there is another button called Step Over. Click it and it will execute just line three. Click again and it will execute line 4. Keep clickign and you'll work down as far as you want...plus it shows what was executed at each line.
