Because the function max() takes an array, or series of values as its parameter, not a string. i.e echo max(1,2,3,4); echo max(array(1,2,3,4));

Someone posted a link to this site a few days ago on another thread. http://www.soundcloud.com Maybe you could use it rather than making something.

What information?

Thats also from Gears of War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gears_of_War_characters#Marcus_Fenix God i'm a geek. LOL.

What tool? Anyhow, do not waste your time purchasing SEO tools. If they are available to everyone then the search engines aren't stupid, they will quickly pick up on what the tool does if there are thousands using it, whether it post articles, blogs, etc. SEO is about staying ahead of your competitors, come up with your own strategies and develop your own tools around them. A strategy may work one month and then die another so it is an ongoing battle.

How long is a piece of string? Are the sites pointing the inbound links already ranked? Are they indexed? If you obtain a link from a high ranking site, the chances are that your site would get indexed overnight as Google will be revisiting the site daily. I would suggest using Googles webmaster tools, generate sitemaps, etc. Do the same for Bing, yahoo, etc. When you post articles / blogs to your site make sure you ping them to the likes of http://pingomatic.com/

Duplicate content is a bad thing. Inbound links with relevant keyphrases in the anchor text is a major part or SEO. I would write snippets for your articles / blogs and use them for inbound links on external sites. Generate an XML feed from your target site so you can use it for external sites. SEO pros will not give away their secrets on forums! There maybe forums with general chat regarding search engines, etc, you will have to Google them out. If you are interested in black hat SEO I would recommend https://www.syndk8.com/

This is Avant browser. The font looks a lot cleaner and readable than on Firefox. The CSS doesn't work. [attachment deleted by admin]

This covers redundant browsers. Nothing to do with IE8 which you obviously have issue with. This is your opinion. There are may IE users that are very happy. It is still the biggest browser in use. What if you have a disability such as impaired vision or are colourblind? Would you recommend the same browsers? I do not recommend any browser. Each one has pros & cons. It is upto each individual to try them out and see which one they like. It is upto you as the developer to ensure that you make your work compatible with all or the majority of browsers that are used on the web. You should not try to force users to change, they will just ignore and move away. I have and use all the major browsers on my desktop.

So where is the issue?

No, links should be relative, or if they are absolute use a url definition in a common include configuration file.

Sorry, lost me there a bit matey. Are you going back to the original query on the first page of this post.

Font is terrible. A plethora or spelling, gramatical errors. Colours clash. Who is this site intended for? These are your recommended browsers, not anyone elses! Microsoft were forced to display a message to Internet Explorer / Windows users giving them the option to choose from a variety of web browsers. This was a recent thing. This is ridiculous to have on your site: Can you imagine if you browsed to Google and a message was on the screen saying, "We couldn't be arsed testing this site for your web browser. None of us here like your browser so you better upgrade it to something else. Don't come back to our website becasuse we don't care about you at all!"

Why not just setup FTP users on your server. If you are setting up users, putting files into their directories, then just give each user you setup their ftp username / password and url i.e ftp://yourwebsite.com Restrict them from uploads.

Simple answer. Always use a dev environment and a live environment. 2 identical copies of the same application. Your live site is on http://www.mywebsite.com Your dev website is on http://dev.mywebsite.com Both are on the same server. When making modifications, make them only on your dev platform. When you are happy simply use a copy command to transfer the files into the document root of the live website. Do not go down the route of using test files in your live environment i.e index2.php, test.php, index-test.php, etc. This will result in your document root becoming messy, also direct changes to live files may result in unforseen errors to end users currently viewing your website.

Search engines use what are called spiders to crawl websites to obtain information on them. The majority will use the text contained within the title tags of pages, collect the anchor text from links from external websites that point to a particlular page as they contain keywords, read the content on pages and determine its relevence. Search engines use highly complex algorithms to determine what keyphrases websites rank and are returned under. When a spider returns all of this data it will be processed and used in what is called a search index. When you search the index is queried and the results are returned. Indexes can be searched very fast, this is why it takes less than a second for the likes of Google to return millions of results. You are going to have to come up with a method of crawling through each of the 10 websites you choose, extracting the data you require, keywords, etc in order to be able to build up an index that you can search. If this is a small project you may simply use a database. If you want to build a search index then the likes of Sphinx / Lucene can do the job.

Heard of the saying, "You get what you pay for". When you say, "shopping cart" I guess you are referring to an e-commerce solution. Do you realise how much work goes into a complete e-commerce system? You have to think about product management, payment solution integration, customer & admin reports, image manipulation, user management, the list goes on. if I see the offer of an e-commerce system for $500 I know it is either going to be utter garbage and would never satisfy a clients requirements, or it will be an off-the-shelf product such as osCommerce or Zen Cart that has been re-skinned. You may get away with this for simple clients, but as far as integrating into existing websites with products etc, forget it. You are walking into a mine field. $500 would not even scratch the surface. For the $500 target audience I would offer small websites for lets say startup companies. A simple site with x number of content managed pages, image gallery, contact form, etc, and possibly a newsletter solution. If you are no good at web design, then you will have to find a designer to work with. They will obviously want a cut. Clients will not pay for crap looking websites, even if they are cheap.

This query is slightly faster SELECT u.siteId FROM user u WHERE userId NOT IN(SELECT userId FROM submission WHERE bookmarkUrl ='http://www.xyz.com' AND scriptId=4) AND u.scriptId=4 GROUP BY u.siteId

It depends on your location as to what the going rate is. In my location I would charge a minimum of 4 times that for an e-commerce application. You must have existing work to demonstrate that you have the skills to do the job.

Any small website

It has nothing to do with your php.ini It is an application. Have you read the install instructions? You will require shell access to the server. A shared host will probably not allow you to install applications. You need a VPS at least.

good point

This script is a huge memory hog! I would not use it, took over 30 seconds to process a 12k image.

UPDATE tablename SET fieldname = REPLACE(fieldname,"\^69^",'"');
