If you want a custom contact for you'll either have to create it or pay someone to create it for you. I don't you'll find a pre-made script that meets your requirements, but I'm sure you could search for a php contact form and modify it with a little effort.

My best guess would be that you are probably not escaping something correctly in your buildHTML function, but sherlock combs doesn't know that without seeing code

The quickest and easiest solution is usually to set the overflow attribute of the container. You could set it to overflow: hidden or auto.
I don't know why you are setting relative positions or why you are using left:/top: Use margins
You are doing some pretty strange things with your widths/heights as well. I'd like to see your html.

Zero Dollars. At least, that is how much it is worth to me. I don't know what kind of answer you really expect.

If you just want to create a diagonal line pattern, create a small square document, say 5x5, then use the 1pixel pencil tool and zoom in to create 1px squares diagonally. You can then save that as a pattern, edit > define pattern. If that is what you are asking.

I've been happy with CakePHP. The documentation and community is pretty good. I've always been able to find information when I run into a problem. The conventions are pretty easily to follow and you can get up and running pretty quickly.

There are plenty of problems with macs, especially some of the older ibooks, but they have come a long way. I support a mixed network environment of both mac and windows and there are some active directory integration problems. Lately I've been using Open Directory which actually isn't bad. I'm really not a fan of the hardware but the software certainly has come a long way.
I just recently had to swap some hard drives on older ibooks and I had to completely disassemble the laptop to get the the drive. That is just poor design and a trap to customers in my opinion.

Are you allowing null values in your database? What I was saying is that "5" != 5, but I think PHP may be forgiving and cast it as an int for you when doing the comparison.

ok... so now that I have the while loop going how do I echo out just one of the tables?
I can print_r($row) all day long, but how do I access just one of the DB tables?
That depends on your query and the method for retrieving the results. If you are using mysql_fetch_assoc, you would do something like
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) { echo $row['fieldname']; } -
Have you check the value of $ratedavg to debug your code. For one you are setting it to a string and then checking against an int.

Please explain why you repeat the menu text. Doesn't make sense to me. Sometimes you see something like About (about the person) or something to that extend, but not the same exact text repeated, serves no purpose. Then you repeat the same menu down the left column. You have taken redundancy to a whole new level.
The design itself isn't that bad, but it can use some work. The little ribbon/flower type design at the top/left I think should extend beyond the actual container.
At first I thought your gallery only had 2 images. You should find a better way to showcase your work. That should be the main area of interest for your website and seems like not much attention went to it.

Once you actually upload the file and set the path you just have to insert the path into your mysql database.

Yes Corbin, that was a random example, the urls don't actually have numbers. It seems I found the problem. I had to disable multiviews for the rewriting to work correctly. I couldn't figure this out, because my rules worked in a production server, but I just recently set up my testing server and it was giving me problems.
This was a good few hours of aggravation.

I have a basic directory structure that I want to use with a rewrite rule. Here is the basic directory structure
/ /info file1.php file2.php /schedules file1.php /staff file2.php info.php schedules.php staff.php
So you see I have php files with the same names as the directories.
In info.php for example, I will have a switch to include a file inside the info directory. Something like
$page = $_GET['page']; switch($page) { case 'file1' include('info/file1.php); break; ... }I want my URL to look like this [mysite.com/info/file1]
So, I thought I could write some pretty basic rewrite rule ( mind you I don't really know much of anything about mod_rewrite )
What I have is this
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} RewriteRule ^info/([a-z]+)/?$ info.php?page=$1 [NC,L]But if I go to the url [mysite.com/info/file1] , I get file1, but not included as part of info.php
If I simply change the rule to
RewriteRule ^somethingelse/([a-z]+)/?$ info.php?page=$1 [NC,L]
and then visit [mysite.com/somethingelse/file1] it works fine. So, I'm having a problem with the rewrite matching the directory name.
I could just be doing this all wrong, so if anyone can give a good example and explanation of how to accomplish what i want, that would be great

I agree with NRG. You can barely even read your personal information, and I'm sure at scale on print you will not be able to read it at all, at least not clearly, which is a big problem for a business card.

FSCKeditor is now CKeditor. Looks like a pretty nice WYSIWYG. Think I'll try this on my next project.

A book title is something different, you could follow the same rules if that is what you like.

There is definitely too much 'white' space. I fail to see the point in ads unless you are generating a lot of traffic, which you certainly shouldn't have at this point because I don't really see why someone would come back to your site? If this is a portfolio site, you DEFINITELY shouldn't have ads. A portfolio site is to gain clients and present your work, not gain ad revenue even if you receive a lot of traffic.
What exactly is the donate button for? Why would people send you money? At this point you don't even have any tutorials. Check out http://gotoandlearn.com/. This site has a wealth of video tutorials and I don't see any ads or donate buttons. You also shouldn't try to scale up your paypal button.

I agree that the first thing I think when I see the logo and colors is baby. Aside from that, nothing seemed to load when I tried a search.

Functionality should probably go in "Beta test your stuff". This critique board focuses mostly on aesthetics.

There is not standard as far as blogs are concerned, but there is if you want to use correct grammar. Why would you want to capitalize other letters? I just don't understand any rationale behind it.
Advanced Event Calendar
in Application Design
Posted
I've created some pretty simple event calendars that output a monthly table and query the database for daily events. I'm looking to create a much more advanced calendar like you would find in a desktop app like outlook. I need recurring events and floating events and probably times because people will be submitting requests for schedules.
I'm really just trying to wrap my head around the basic database design to handle the floating and recurring events. I don't to be limited to a weekly recurrence pattern. I would like options like daily, weekly, monthly, or maybe even biweekly, etc. How do you account for a recurring event that has no end date in the database?
Maybe this is something easy to create, but I would like some direction on the database schema that would work best to help get me going in the right direction.
Any thoughts or references on this would be very helpful.
