Ahhhh, one Coffee later, I see it! The error of my ways; I was calling 100%, which would only fill 'x' amount of width depending on the windows size. Should have been calling a min-width
-
I'm having a weird issue with any elements that are given a width: 100% or width: auto. If the window is re-sized smaller. It seems to cut a chunk off and wreck hell upon the layout. I thought it was my code so I borrowed a few from tutorials etc with the same results. I've just installed FireFox also, thinking it was a Chrome bug, but that gives the same result too.. http://shanesdomain.byethost32.com/ I might be missing something obvious from lack of sleep, but could anyone assist this? body { background: url(../images/background.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; -webkit-background-size: cover; -moz-background-size: cover; -o-background-size: cover; background-size: cover; } #topbar-navigation { width: auto; height: 48px; background: #080d10; position: absolute; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; display: inline-block; text-align: center; border-bottom: 1px solid #262b2f; z-index: 1; } #adblock-warning { width: auto; position: absolute; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; background: #344152; font-family: 'sinkin_sans400_regular'; color: #b6b6b6; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 49px; text-align: center; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10px; white-space: nowrap; } #maincontainer { width: 960px; height: 1000px; position: absolute; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 150px; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; background: #f2f2f2; } .user-icon-notif { height: 20px; width: 20px; position: absolute; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 15px; top: 0; left: 875px; right: 0; } .user-register { height: 20px; width: 20px; position: absolute; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 15px; top: 0; left: 815px; right: 0; text-decoration: none; font-family: 'sinkin_sans400_regular'; font-size: 11px; color: #99a0a8; } .user-register:hover { color: #c9c9c9; } .user-login { height: 20px; width: 20px; position: absolute; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 15px; top: 0; left: 700px; right: 0; text-decoration: none; font-family: 'sinkin_sans400_regular'; font-size: 11px; color: #99a0a8; } .user-login:hover { color: #c9c9c9; } <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="content-language" content="EN"> <META NAME="Rating" content="General"> <META NAME="Designer" content="Shane Wilson"> <META NAME="Keywords" content="Gamer, Community"> <META NAME="revisit-after" content="7"> <META NAME="Robots" content="index,follow"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" content="no-cache"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" content="0"> <META NAME="Author" content="Shane Wilson"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css"> </head> <body> <div id="topbar-navigation"> <a href="register" class="user-register">Register</a> <a href="login" class="user-login">Login</a> </div> <div id="maincontainer"> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://shanesdomain.byethost32.com/js/advertisement.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> if (document.getElementById("TestAdBlock") == undefined) { document.write('<div id="adblock-warning">Oops!

placing an element at the bottom of a page centered
Azercii replied to atlantis72's topic in CSS Help
Might be bad practice (not sure?), but on a layout I'm working on I use; position: absolute; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; left: 0; right: 0; Which would center the bottom_element, then it may require padding/margin to position it correctly. Here is a Fiddle -
Thanks for the great advice, again I am putting more focus into my HTML & CSS after your previous advice on my layout(s) and how I can improve them, rather than trying to jump straight into PhP or Javascript I'm learning Javascript little by little, maybe one or two lessons(?) a week. It's a nifty little app though, they take a 5 minute video, break it into 4 or 5 segments, then quiz you on each. You can only progress onto the next lesson when you pass the "exam" at the end of each lesson. They do have PhP but even that confused me, I struggled to take the information in still I'll bookmark your site man, started giving it a read and it seems to explain things clear enough, even for me
-
The current layout was created using a Site Builder, it's very basic HTML & CSS. Right now, there is no PhP or Javascript on the site. I've got in touch with her to find out who is hosting the site, they think it's 1and1, but don't know if they have cPanel or even the FTP details.. Might just transfer the domain in the end, that way I know what we have to work with aha
-
If only! Haha I gave PhP a break, I can't seem to wrap my head around it. I started learning JavaScript using an app I found, apparently learning one makes the other easier? I'm finding JS easier to grip at the moment
-
Hi there, Apologies if this is in the wrong section, not sure what would cover it aha I have a client who would like to be able to update her photos in the gallery weekly, and possibly update any text on the site herself (description etc). What is the best way to go about this? She used a site builder to get it up and running, but I don't have access to the host, so I don't have access to databases or know if they allow PhP. Would an admin panel be the best way about this? If so, would anyone mind talking me through a rough step-by-step of the process?
-
I'm trying to learn how to create a single page layout, I've tried to mimic other layouts just from looking at them, but I don't know how to style it properly so it works smoothly. I think I've made a huge boo-boo http://gamer-cafe.net/juliesjungle/index.html#About
-
#navigation { width: 420px; height: 110%; float: left; margin-top: -10px; ; background-color: #FFFFFF; } I'm now using the above, it's a fix and zooming the window out shows no issues either. Ignore this now
-
I've had this issue a while, whenever I use 100% to span a div, it doesn't quite fill properly Does anyone have any advice? This is the only thing on the page so far, and it's not inside a parent div either
-
I do not, every time I look at it my Brain dies aha I found an image gallery snippet that I took and examined, so now I know how to adjust that to my needs. All I need to look at now is the PhP stuff, like how to call the users uploaded image and link it back to their profile Do you have any good places/books to check out for PhP?
-
Apologies if this is in the wrong section, as I'm not too sure what I would need for the things I'm wanting, and I would like to constrain it to one topic if possible. I had an idea for a gaming community site (http://gamer-cafe.net/), and so far I have a bare-bones layout but I would like an image gallery, and a mod gallery. Problem is, I don't know what to begin learning to even get a basic version of either going This is what I hope to achieve at the end; Content uploads are member restricted Users can upload an image of their favourite moment in gaming Users can upload a mod to improve others games Users must include a minimum of one image, a title, a short description, and 4 tags with their upload(s) Users can then download, comment, and rate the content Site will automatically grab thumbnails of the content Content originating from the user will display on their profile I use PhPBB for the users credentials, so it would need to integrate with that so I could get the users names etc for comments I know it's a lot, and it's going to take a while aha but I'm up for it and determined, what would I need to learn to get something like these working?
-
I did indeed just take the code and place it in, I left the comments in so I can look over it and learn each piece, but the whole subject still confuses me. I might have to go back to square one and learn little by little, thanks for the help though apologies if I was a pain in the rear aha
-
I created the table and inserted the snippet you sent, with some adjustments as it was telling me to check my syntax around those lines. Then I got; All my pages use this PhP: http://forums.devshed.com/php-faqs-stickies-167/program-basic-secure-login-system-using-php-mysql-891201.html Minus the table, I created a new table for it as I couldn't see any of the users with the one provided I thought I'd start with a pre-made system and make small changes where needed to get practice at changing values etc. It isn't going too great, I admit that haha apologies if my previous post seemed a little, moody? I can't find video tutorials for the things I seem to want to do, and previous sites have given me the negative attitude because I'm new to it all

If you needed to see a different part, or if I got something wrong, you could have just said so before in the earlier post.. I did declare that I'm new to PhP, I'm not amazing at all of this like everyone else seems to be Below is the PhP for the registration page, I've removed the entities I added earlier so we can start from scratch here. <?php // First we execute our common code to connection to the database and start the session require("common.php"); // This if statement checks to determine whether the registration form has been submitted // If it has, then the registration code is run, otherwise the form is displayed if(!empty($_POST)) { // Ensure that the user has entered a non-empty username if(empty($_POST['username'])) { // Note that die() is generally a terrible way of handling user errors // like this. It is much better to display the error with the form // and allow the user to correct their mistake. However, that is an // exercise for you to implement yourself. die("Please enter a username."); } // Ensure that the user has entered a non-empty password if(empty($_POST['password'])) { die("Please enter a password."); } // Make sure the user entered a valid E-Mail address // filter_var is a useful PHP function for validating form input, see: // http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php // http://us.php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.php if(!filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { die("Invalid E-Mail Address"); } // We will use this SQL query to see whether the username entered by the // user is already in use. A SELECT query is used to retrieve data from the database. // :username is a special token, we will substitute a real value in its place when // we execute the query. $query = " SELECT 1 FROM users WHERE username = :username "; // This contains the definitions for any special tokens that we place in // our SQL query. In this case, we are defining a value for the token // :username. It is possible to insert $_POST['username'] directly into // your $query string; however doing so is very insecure and opens your // code up to SQL injection exploits. Using tokens prevents this. // For more information on SQL injections, see Wikipedia: // http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_Injection $query_params = array( ':username' => $_POST['username'] ); try { // These two statements run the query against your database table. $stmt = $db->prepare($query); $result = $stmt->execute($query_params); } catch(PDOException $ex) { // Note: On a production website, you should not output $ex->getMessage(). // It may provide an attacker with helpful information about your code. } // The fetch() method returns an array representing the "next" row from // the selected results, or false if there are no more rows to fetch. $row = $stmt->fetch(); // If a row was returned, then we know a matching username was found in // the database already and we should not allow the user to continue. if($row) { die("This username is already in use"); } // Now we perform the same type of check for the email address, in order // to ensure that it is unique. $query = " SELECT 1 FROM users WHERE email = :email "; $query_params = array( ':email' => $_POST['email'] ); try { $stmt = $db->prepare($query); $result = $stmt->execute($query_params); } catch(PDOException $ex) { die("Failed to run query: " . $ex->getMessage()); } $row = $stmt->fetch(); if($row) { die("This email address is already registered"); } // An INSERT query is used to add new rows to a database table. // Again, we are using special tokens (technically called parameters) to // protect against SQL injection attacks. $query = " INSERT INTO users ( username, password, salt, email, ) VALUES ( :username, :password, :salt, :email, ) "; // A salt is randomly generated here to protect again brute force attacks // and rainbow table attacks.

We do not // store the original password; only the hashed version of it. We do store // the salt (in its plaintext form; this is not a security risk). $query_params = array( ':username' => $_POST['username'], ':password' => $password, ':salt' => $salt, ':email' => $_POST['email'], ); try { // Execute the query to create the user $stmt = $db->prepare($query); $result = $stmt->execute($query_params); } catch(PDOException $ex) { // Note: On a production website, you should not output $ex->getMessage(). // It may provide an attacker with helpful information about your code. die("Failed to run query: " . $ex->getMessage()); } // This redirects the user back to the login page after they register header("Location: login.php"); // Calling die or exit after performing a redirect using the header function // is critical.

I would prefer a better solution than the one I came up with haha That error was linked to the added parameters I told it to include, I didn't include them further down the code so it mismatched. The password row has always worked and is fine for inputting the users pass into the table without errors, why would I need to change it? You can view the site here: http://cloudgaming.byethost7.com/
-
That's not where the error lies, that line works fine as it's inputting the users password into the database. I eventually got round the errors for all this by defaulting it to say Member and adding a drop-down list for the users to select "Member" from, they're not linked but they'll think it is
-
I can't seem to find an edit option to add to my previous post, sorry. I've tried; $query = " INSERT INTO users ( username, password, salt, email, user_group ) VALUES ( :username, :password, :salt, :email, :Member ) "; To which I receive this error;
-
Aah okay, I thought it had to be done via the submission form. As for the query, how would I phrase it?
-
Firstly, I'm new to PhP, so I truly apologize if I'm a headache and make you want to put a fist through your screen haha I'm slowly creating a community site, and need some advice on something, if I may? I would like users to be put into the user_group database as "member" by default upon registering, but I can't seem to get my head round it Currently, I have a table on my "memberlist" page with; <td width="115px" class="Members" align="center"><?php echo htmlentities($row['username'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></td> <td width="115px" class="Members" align="center"><?php echo htmlentities($row['user_group'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></td> But I'm having to edit the database each time a new user signs up because it's not in-putted via the form (Forgive me if I now seem a little newbiie) I was thinking that it might be an if function on the register page? Something like; But in PhP obviously I already have user_level in my database, which is default to 0 anyway, I would just like the users to have a "group" like forums How would I go about this? I'm okay with creating databases, and/or inputting data into them via MySQL. PhP might need a little dumb down though
