actually, I believe mencoder is dependant on ffmpeg

dev machine right? I like zend core for the browser interface, but couldn't live without the debug server

I vote debian, or anything debian based for that matter (ubuntu, pyro, good os) gNewSense is a great completely free as in speech distro endorsed by the fsf note that ubuntu 8.04 has some serious problems with your main development tool...firefox. I'd stick with gutsy for now, or downgrade ff https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421482

to make new directories...use mkdir()

strip_tags does exactly that...use that otherwise if you want more control...use kses (kses kills evil scripts) ask google, kses has good documentation and is really easy to use.

rameshfaj: that looks like a subquery rather than a join. the l and i are aliases to reference that tables your selecting from. they get defined in the from line of the query...ie: logger l, identities i if you replace your 1st query, with the query I posted earlier, you should have everything you need in one resultset. You can then get rid of the 2nd query inside your loop and work with the results as normal. On 2nd look, I do have a couple columns missing from the query I posted for your script. be sure to add referer and time to the select line of the query. Use the aliases. l == logger table, and i == identities table

I've played around with ajax chat a bit, but I don't really have a working solution that I'm happy with. This is gonna be buggy and once you get in the code it should be overly dirty, yet as simple as I could keep it. I had planned on cleaning it up, fixing the bugs and then posting, but here it is... http://linardy.com/chat/ I still haven't even taken my own advice to slow down the setTimeout calls when a user has been idle for a certain amount of time. If I were you, I'd move the setTimeout function call to the callback function and do a bit of work to determine how long until the next call. The more amount of time since the user's last action, the longer the Interval. If they've been idle way too long for your taste...provide some sort of feedback letting them know they've timed out with a link or something to get back and dont set the next interval to happen until the user provides some sort of action (post, refresh, js_link, etc...) I haven't touched the code for a couple months and was just waiting for a bit more time to fool around with it. consider it lgpl and do whatever you want with it. good luck!

Yes, use a join. You'll make your life a lot easier and your app will perform much better. $query = mysql_query(" select l.ip, l.uname, l.date, i.name from logger l, identities i where l.ip = i.ip order by date desc, time desc ");

thebadbad's solution will be faster and better chance of getting the results you want...go with that. Never seen that before...very clever thebadbad

cool, I like to stick with what I know as well. Ginger's solution will work for sure as long as there are no subdir's in the folder as she said. Add recursion to her solution and subdir's won't matter either

Yeah, I just mention'd *nix since if they no longer need office, they might as well abandon winblows for something that owns 99% of server market for a reason. And *nix distros are usually free as in speech, you can do anything you want...even modify their programs. Since when did you have access to source code for stuff that matters on a proprietary system.

check your computer means run virus/malware scans to try to get rid of anything you don't want. Advanced users don't usually think they know what an infected system looks like (zero-day exploits, etc...), but if you know what a Clean system should look like...you can catch most garbage manually using hijackThis (ask google) Or, you could Abandon winblows for a better platform debian, ubuntu, and gNewSense all rock. All free of fee, but gNewSense is completely free as in speech. Have a look around. They're all also easy to dual boot so that you can dev on a *nix system, and still have winblows there for your games.

this line has an error: if(!strlen($_POST['year'] == '4')){ should be: if(!strlen($_POST['year']) == '4'){ see it?

I don't see your output, but trying to keep it as simple as possible: set your column's width to something fixed, and align your cells to the center.

That's quite the question. Try starting from the beginning and asking smaller questions along the way. 1st you'll need registration, then your auth/login script. From there, well...ask us again when you get there
