whilst it may not make much difference, the fact that you are getting no errors for Jpg's and you are for gif's indicates SOMETHING wrong with the file format. try making a simple gif file using mspaint or something other than photoshop. also, can you post your code that youre using to display image files?

Why would the cookie not be available on other pages? [/quote] did you try setting the cookies expiry and path like i suggested?

you could do with using a few extra parameters in setcookie - one for the expiry date, and one for the path. this will make the cookie last for 30 days and allow any script within the domain to access it: [code] setcookie('policyusername', $username, time()+60*60*24*30, '/'); [/code] [b]EDIT[/b]: otherwise, make sure that $username has been set correctly before trying to save it as a cookie, and also note that cookies are only available when the page that first sets it has been reloaded or from other pages.

I don't think I fully understood what this site was. Maybe you should have mentioned this is a study tool in the first post? [/quote] it shouldnt really make a difference to the feedback he's after whether it's a shopping site, study tool or a personal homepage. if it works and looks good, great. if it don't, not so great. i think it's starting to look alot better. i still think though that you could make the bottom container larger and the others smaller, just to bring it into view a bit better. this becomes most apparent on the homepage, where it runs off the page totally - all it does is creates a browser scroll bar AND a frame scroll bar, both of which need to be used to get things into view properly. you've freed up some space in your right hand box now, so i reckon you've got enough space to do this.

[/quote] hmmm someone else will need to help on this one, but you basically need to test for an end character (such as a space, new line, etc. can't quite remember what the character is. something like: [code] $match = preg_match('/[0-9]{2}\/[0-9]{2}\/[0-9]{2}[\ \n\r]/', '01/01/2005', $matches); [/code] may work but i'm sure there's a better way to check for the end of line. either way, you just have to check for a non-numerical character DIRECTLY after your year. [b]EDIT:[/b] the bit i added is [\ \n\r] - the 'space' does not appear clearly in my code snippet.

yes but it IS true. preg_match will use your pattern to find something ANYWHERE within a give string. so your match is actually matching correctly, and ignoring the 05 bit of your '2005' and matching with '01/01/20' which fits your criteria. you could put 2000000532 as the year, and it'd still come back true. try it: [code] echo 'matching 01/01/2005:<br>'; $match = preg_match('/[0-9]{2}\/[0-9]{2}\/[0-9]{2}/', '01/01/2005', $matches); print_r($matches); echo '<br><br>Matching 01/01/12547612345:<br>'; $match = preg_match('/[0-9]{2}\/[0-9]{2}\/[0-9]{2}/', '01/01/12547612345', $matches); print_r($matches); [/code] both of which will come back true. the first will show '01/01/20' as a match, the second will show '01/01/12' as a match.

modified from an example on php.net/imagefilledellipse. you'll need to change it again to suit your needs: [code] // break up color into its RGB parts $color = $_GET['color']; $r = hexdec(substr($color,0,2)); $g = hexdec(substr($color,2,2)); $b = hexdec(substr($color,4,2)); // fill the background color white $bg = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255); // choose a color for the ellipse $col_ellipse = imagecolorallocate($image, $r, $g, $b); // draw the ellipse imagefilledellipse($image, 200, 150, 300, 200, $col_ellipse); [/code] hope that helps. i've not tested it but should work or set you on your way... Cheers Mark

you have two problems, both in the same block. you need to treat array values differently to normal variables when putting them in double quotes (use curly braces {}), and you also need a closing bracket for your while loop. so: [code] while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {    echo "<option value='{$row[0]}'>{$row[1]}</option>"; <-- curly braces } <--- you forgot this ?> [/code] that should do you Cheers

uploading files is done in binary, so the language within the file wont make a difference to anything. my guess is that you've got an error, but have error_reporting too low or display_errors set to off in your php.ini file, so you arent seeing the problem. but you have a missing ; at the end of your line: [code] if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedFile']['tmp_name'],$file_path))    print "file insert";  <--- here else    print "file not insert"; [/code]

pretty much, yes. if they have further problems, then a line like: [code] ini_set("SMTP", "smtp.celebcars.co.uk"); [/code] or whatever their outgoing mailserver is next to the other ini_set line should also help.

I couldn't get the link you provided to work, but the code in question, ini_set, would go before the 'mail' function is called. i normally stick things like that right at the top of my page, after my includes and session_start(). the mail function's manual, ( [a href=\"http://uk.php.net/mail\" target=\"_blank\"]http://uk.php.net/mail[/a] ) will probably shed some light on what you want youre tryign to achieve, but when i change servers, normally the only setting i need to alter is 'SMTP' if i havent got a mail server set up on the same server as the php. otherwise, i can't really see many reasons why the code you've posted still wouldnt work as it is. did they give you any info in terms of the problem they were having?

you're on the right track. now you just need to compare the date with the range.

unenergizer, thanks for your help. you've made me think a little harder and come up with a few solutions, anyway. for the benefit of anyone that's interested, these are the ways i've got working or partially working, both off my own bat and from suggestions here: 1, ftp. their ftp credentials are programmed into their database and when an update is required are posted to my server (without me being able to get access to them) to check for the files needed. my scripts on my server interract with their server and give them the required files. this appeared to be the best method. however, because of a few reasons (i'm stubborn, wanted to stretch my knowledge a bit, was determined to do it without passwords, etc) i have come up with this: 2, on my server, i have a file which prepares a file ready to send. literally by sending the php file to the browser in it's actual state, without the server parsing it first. this done with fopen, fgets, echo (i'd post the code, but for some reason phpfreaks doesn't like it, with or without the [CODE] tag. either way, the script on their server is almost identical, using fopen to read this file, and saves a local copy on their server. 3, mysql. possibly the most likely way i'll end up going with, if i can set up a remote connection from their site. but if they can connect to my 'updates' database from their site, then they can literally download the required files, which will be stored as BLOB type (it would be TEXT, but sometimes the files will be images and other filetypes, etc). their server sends a request to mine for the latest login credentials, which mine responds back with. their server uses these to access the updates database, downlaods the relevent file, and then puts it in the correct place. obviously my biggest fear is that of security, but i think that i can make either of these 3 quite watertight as i would with a login/membership system. if anyone has any thoughts on any of these, or could elaborate on why/why not to use any of them, then please feel free to comment. Cheers Mark

actually this maybe right also. i just remember i have a plugin on firefox called 'Reveal' which, when you hover over the browsers back or forward button, shows a thumbnail preview. size of the thumbnail can be adjusted, etc.

[/quote] without literally going through the entire code, there are 3 things to deal with. first is to set up the <FORM> with the necessary elements: [code] <form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1"> ...stuff here <input name="imagefile" type="file" id="my_image_file"> ...more stuff here including a submit button [/code] once the form is submitted, the file is automatically uploaded to the servers temporary directory. to deal with it from their, you need to use the $_FILES superglobal array to get the info you need about the file, and move_uploaded_file to move the file from its temporary location to where you want it to be permanently [code] $result = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['my_image_file']['tmp_name'], $newfilepath); [/code] all you need to do then is use some of the info from the $_FILES['my_image_file'] array to store info in the database for later. - the file size, $_FILES['my_image_file']['size'] - the file type, $_FILES['my_image_file']['type'] - the original file name, $_FILES['my_image_file']['name'] and for error trapping, use $_FILES['my_image_file']['error'] in terms of database retrieval, you just pull the filename from the database and put it within the IMG's src. hope that helps.
