ok i was wondering what happened to and if they changed the way to mark it thanks for the answer though

can someone tell me how to mark a topic solved thanks in advance

no it drops a cookie in your visitors cookie file in the home computer

i have a internal mail system and maybe a few other thing at [a href=\"http://tfws.dynu.com/software/\" target=\"_blank\"]T.F.W.S Downloads [/a] just click on the php button

if you do not preview it throught a web browser by typeing [a href=\"http://127.0.0.1\" target=\"_blank\"]http://127.0.0.1[/a] or your ip address or webpage name you will see the code because php only parses it through a web browser

your mysql connect should work fine once you put your userid and password in [code]<? mysql_connect("localhost","userid","password") or die ("Unable to connect to MySQL server."); mysql_select_db("snipelegends") or die ("Unable to select requested database."); ?>[/code]

did you configure the apachi httpd config file to listen to your ip address if not you can open you page by localhost or by [a href=\"http://127.0.0.1\" target=\"_blank\"]http://127.0.0.1[/a] and you wont beable to open it by your address

if i am understanding you correctly you can go here [a href=\"http://tfws.dynu.com/software/\" target=\"_blank\"]T.F.W.S Downloads[/a] click the php button and scroll down to mini messege board

I took it out of the while loop and it works right now thanks for the help

this is the part of the code that is inserting twice [code]$cat=$_POST['cid']; $for=$_POST['fid']; $user=$_SESSION['user']; $date=date("n/j/y g:i:s A"); $title=$_POST['title']; $subject=$_POST['subject']; $post=$_POST['post']; $sql="INSERT into posted(forum,cat,user,date,title,subject,post)values('$for', '$cat', '$user', '$date', '$title', '$subject', '$post')"; mysql_query($sql) or die ("Could not Post");[/code]

str generaly means string you friend probably mistyped it he probably meant to type str=the rest of your code because str=str=the rest of your code will cause a parser error it would actually caus an error in any scripting language

sorry i forgot to remove .php from your i frame [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]<iframe id="upcomingmain" src="<? echo "gotopage($urls)";?>.php" width=302 height=225 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=yes></iframe>[/quote]with this code it would be calling for a page like this yourpage.php.php so it it wont work unless your page had 2 php extentions sorry about that try it like this [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]<iframe id="upcomingmain" src="<? echo "gotopage($urls)";?>" width=302 height=225 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=yes></iframe>[/quote] this should work if it doesnt try to change because that code should do what you want

try puttin youyour if statement into a function [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--] function gotopage($url){ if ($eventdate >= $systemdate) { $url = 'upcomingmain.php'; } else { $url = 'noupcoming.php'; } } ?> <iframe id="upcomingmain" src="<? echo "gotopage($url)";?>.php" width=302 height=225 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=yes></iframe>[/quote] or something along that line hope this helps it might need some tweeking but in the end it should do what you want

validating is checking to make sure it is right (useing the right characters) if (!ereg("^[A-Za-z' -]{1,50}$",$value)) if(!ereg("^.+@.+\\..+$",$value)) if(!ereg("^[5]{1,1}[0-9]{15,15}$",$value)) and this is the code they are validating with so if there input doesn't match any of the characters listed the form will return false and they will get an error message something like your name contains invalid characters. i dont know if that is what you are looking for but i hope that helps

do you have any code started so we can see what you are working with because no one here is gonna want to write out a long and really coplex code for someone else to use but if you have a code that is started or just needs tweeling you will get alot of help and for future reference if you have a problem post your code in your first topic and you will get helped if help is possible for the code much quicker sorry if that sounds like i am comming off rude i am not meaning to

try this [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]<form method="post" action="mail.php"> <input type="text" name="subject" value="Subject goes here" /><br /> <textarea name="body">Message goes here</textarea><br /> <input type="submit" name="send" value="Send" /> </form> <pre> <?PHP if($_GET['send'] == true) { $from = "from@address.here"; $subject = $_POST['subject']; $sendto ="address@one.com, address@two.com,address@three.com"; $messege="$_POST[body] r/n Sending message to: $sendto r/n"; mail($sendto, $subject, $message, From: $from); } ?> </pre> [/quote] hopfully this helps

ok try this <? $today = date("Y-m-d"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gigs WHERE date='$today' ORDER BY date ASC"); while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $date = $myrow['date']; list($year, $month, $day) = split("-", $date); $date = date('M d, Y', mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year)); echo "$date - <a href="?pg=gi&id= $myrow[id]>$myrow[headline]</a></b><br>"; } ?> hopfully this helps
