@scootstah, you are so awesome, THANK YOU! I will give it a try.

Thank you guys SO MUCH for your help and for being so nice to explain the Git stuff ! Unfortunately my hosting doesn't support Git, however I will start to study it ( for now I only know as much as to publish and commit repositories in GitHub ) and I will try to kick FTP and use Version Control. Thank you again to all of you!

Thank you, I will try it then. I didn't realize how powerful it was.

May I ask, is version control helpful to a project? Because now I am still using CTRL + Z, hehe.

The private repo's idea is awesome!!! Thank you guys so much!!

You need to write a lot of code to get used to it. It is normal that it seems that way to you. It's like learning a language. When you have been learning it for a long time by speaking and writing and what not, you suddenly have this " feeling " of what verbs or adverbs to use without thinking. Same with PHP and programming in general.

Howdy, I am currently re-writing some of the code of my history blog and I am thinking of uploading it to GitHub, since the newest codes seems very well written, in a way that I have gotten way better at programming. Since all of the future employers look at GitHub and they keep complaining I have merely tiny programs there, for some reason. Do you think this is a good idea, or my website will get hacked straight away? Also that will motive me to document it well and stuff. Of course I will skip the login script and all DB info. I am mainly doing it for my future employers to see the code I write, generally, without having to send tons of .rarS via email. Many Thanks in advance.

With lots of cursing, that's how...

OVH are lame. They asked me to send them my ID card and paid bills for my house. I mean, WTF?

Fixed the problem. It turned out that the PATH was NOT included, I thought it was, but that path turned out to be the one of composer for its CMD commands, not the Laravel ones. So I ran composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1" and then the message appeared " Changing directory to C:\Users\Stefany\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin " So I went to that directory and I saw that laravel.bat file WAS THERE, so I copied the path and pasted in in the system variavles windows, then ran the Laravel command: laravel new blog And it worked! Many thanks for your help!

As @Cronix said, I find FPDF to be the best - http://www.fpdf.org/ It is very simple and powerful at the same time.

Thank you very much, but laravel.bat is not in this directory I restarted the pc without luck :(

Yes, unless I did it wrong. Here is a pic:

Hello, I installed composer and then I tried installing the laravel command line functions as it was described in their website, namely I ran this command: composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1" Taken from directly from the official website - http://laravel.com/docs/4.2#install-laravel But when I run: laravel new blog I get an error: C:\xampp\htdocs>laravel new blog 'laravel' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Please help! I really want to use the "laravel" command lines from the CMD. I am on Windows 8.1. I searched a lot in Google for help but with no luck Many thanks!

Many thanks. I will try this.

Thank you. What about the header height? Should I use media queries for it too? Or is there a another trick? Because now the background image is scaling, but the header is always 339px. Cannot remove it because then my background image will not appear.

Howdy, I want to make this background image in the header responsive - www.studyingthepast.com/mobile I kept trying and trying and trying and trying to no avail. Here is my code: #header_container{ background-image:url('../images/studyingthepast_smaller_banner.png'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-size: 100% auto; color:#F3F3F3; } header{ width:950px; height:339px; } Many Thanks!

No need to use strip_tags - sanitize the HTML only on output. Like when you want to display the given information to the user, then use htmlentities();

Are you asking how to update rows in MySQL? Then use the UPDATE statement UPDATE tablename SET column = 'new value' WHERE some_column = 12

RewriteRule ^item/([-a-z0-9]+)$ /item.php?pid=$1 [NC,L] Try above.

How exactly do you want to replace it? You want to put the value from the one button to the other, or...?

^^ Many thanks! EDIT: VPS for merely 3.00$ per a month??? Is that for real?

Github.

Howdy, So I have been using my current hosting for 3+ years, however it has PHP 5.2 which was made in 2006 and it has gotten kind of pathetic. It didn't bother me until I tried to upload my Laravel project, and well, after a couple of hours trying to make it run, it turned out that the minimum for Laravel is 5.3.17 PHP so I guess the time has come to change my beloved hosting to another one. I looked over some options, but I am confused and need your help. Any hosting to recommend with the newest PHP version support? Since also that way I could test my PHP 5.5 programs and of course soon, I hope, PHP 7! Also would be great if the hosting supports Perl 5.16 at least, but not too important. Many Thanks!

+1. I think the enter problem only exists in IE 10 and below, but still it is better to be on the safe side. Also I think older browsers would have the same problem too. To stay on topic, I am with the author - I too, use the HEREDOC syntax, I love it. Breaking out of PHP constantly is annoying and I am not sure exactly how faster your program will be. Also, the HEREDOC forces you to store the values of all functions inside variables which in return would make your program faster, since you couldn't be lazy that way. Well technically you could put a function in the HEREDOC but it is quite complex.
