  1. Sorry... goddamn work proxy is caching too much. The business card/pen thing is definately a step in the right direction! Now we're getting somewhere.

    $this

    :( What does that say for me???
  3. 1) I don't suggest using ADO. Use the included PHP libraries. From what I've found, they're faster. I'd challenge anyone else to suggest otherwise. 2) I don't know about taking advantage of the Zend optomizer. I suggest you contact your host about that. 3) The second option is far more efficient. Keep in mind that everything you pass through a PHP function has to be parsed by the PHP processor. If you send just HTML with PHP mixed in, it will ignore the HTML and hence parse your document faster. And just as a side note, the parenthesis are unnecessary for echos. 4) <input type="text" name="username" size=30 value="<?PHP echo ($_POST[username]); ?>"> is faster, but it can be done even easier: <input type="text" name="username" size=30 value="<?=$_POST['username']?>">
  4. Honestly... bad. The photo is blurry. The text along the bottom is hard to read... a CD just doesn't provide a valuable/professional feel as a logo.
  5. Have a look at this and let us know if you have any issues getting that working: [a href=\"http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php[/a] Also, may I suggest another graphing package that I've found to be quite spectacular? [a href=\"http://www.advsofteng.com/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.advsofteng.com/[/a] If you don't register it, it just adds a small yellow line under all your graphs with a link to their site. But it is truly powerful.
  6. That worked. And yeah, that looks better.
  7. I get a "remote linking of images not allowed" error.
  8. There are more powerful engines for sending mass emails. I suggest looking into something like the Pear engine or Curl. Using mail() with that many emails is going to bog down your server and will hang the script until the process completes. You could also consider doing batches of emails instead of doing them all at once.
  9. For something like that, you should really consider AJAX, or loading the entire JS array with calendar events before the page is loaded (not really preferred, but is an option). If you're not familiar with AJAX, might I suggest our sister site? www.ajaxfreaks.com
  10. You need to create a loop that will build the radio button groups for you. The name of the group stays the same, and as long as the values are fairly uniform, you can put an if statement inside the for loop to check to see if the database value is equal to the loop value and if it is, echo the checked part, otherwise don't.

    Help again

    Unless there is a really good reason for doing this, and you can PM me with such a reason, this thread is going to be and will stay closed.
  12. You have control over that entire document before it gets to the client. I suggest you move your calculations within the document so that the value is calculated before you echo the link.
  13. But you are your own client in this case. You can do what YOU want.
  14. #%(*@#&$(*&@$#% bastards I work for block photobucket, so I can't really tell you.
  15. Are you trying to post code or just a text response?
  16. Are you trying to post code or just a text response? There are some permissions errors that could result in that error that the admins are working on. In the meantime, may I suggest [a href=\"http://pastebin.com/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://pastebin.com/[/a] as an alternative for posting code?
  17. Where to begin? 1) weird nav styling... your links only have an underline when they've been visited, the hover effect is alright, but I'd make the hover color "pop" a little more. 2) Contact page is nothing but a mailto: link. Why? If the contact page is only going to have a mailto link, why create an entire page for it? Just have the nav link handle the mailto. 3) I'm surprised to find that you didn't use tables, but it doesn't even come close to validating and you include your CSS file instead of linking it. Bad idea. 4) What's the point in all the information in the lower left column? That could be added to the nav with a link to more content. 5) Your welcome message at the top of the main page says "Welcome to Plantofthegods.net". Shouldn't that be "Welcome to PlantSofthegods.net"??? 6) Always have your header image link back to the index. 7) The photos in the nav on the left... either put a hover border around the whole thing or not at all. I also think all photos should react the same to a hover. Your photos on the index page don't really do anything on hover.
  18. I'd say you took a step back with the latest version of the logo. Buildings and cds don't go together, and you just have 2 blocks up there... it needs to be fluid. I'd also drop the idea of using flash. IMO, flash for nav is a bloated and unnecessary option. I quickly found out the other day that flash is used for the dumbest and smallest parts of some sites. When you don't have flash installed or it's not working, it shouldn't hamper me from using your site.
  19. Either I'm having caching issues or the change hasn't been made.

    QMail

    postcastserver can be used locally... that's what I used on my development machine.
  21. Just make sure your "teamwork" doesn't turn into "hey, I don't know how to do x, so you do that part". At that point, you're not learning anything, just adjusting what's already in your toolbox.
  22. Blue text on a black background... not my first choice. And fire usually isn't associated with computers or programming. You might want to find a picture that represents what you're doing (random people sitting at a computer... something involving a computer... artistic shot of a keyboard... something along those lines). And if you're going to use a black background, use white text.
  23. fopen() with fread() should get you headed in the right direction.

    Striking?

    Umm... what about Opera? Or Netscape? Or Safari? Or Konqueror? IE is far from the only other browser to check.
  25. The photo looks stretched, the text is hard to read, and it generally doesn't look professional.
