INTERNET ANTI-VIRUS? your opinion please...
neylitalo replied to bilis_money's topic in Miscellaneous
It doesn't look to me like anybody's hating you, but that could just be me. I'm of the opinion that if a user comes back and behaves himself continuously, then there's no problem. Again, that's just me. But at any rate, I'm sure people don't need to know "your true story"; that's surely a personal thing. Getting back to the topic at hand: I've been a staunch supporter of AVG Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware. I've never seen it miss a virus, its interface is excellent, and it's free. I don't use it much these days, since I've been running Linux, but whenever I need to recommend an anti-virus program to anybody I ALWAYS go with AVG. -
I've attached a screenshot of where it is on my screen - the link says "Topic not solved" because it's currently marked solved.
-
I'm guessing that br isn't disabled because it's a fairly harmless tag, requires no closing tag, and really can't do much to break layout.
-
ok, that would explain it - I've never had to really pull characters out of a string, so I've never had call to use that particular notation. It's definitely good to know, though.
-
There should be a little link at the bottom left saying "Topic Solved" - click that.
-
Ah, dang - I just realized what the actual point of that post was. Most tags are disabled to prevent breaking of the actual layout, but some of them (br, as you've discovered) are left in to make it "easier" for people to format their post.
-
Please don't title your threads "HELP PLEASE". It's annoying when stuff is in all caps and it's a generic title that tells us nothing.

fert: I've never seen this, can you explain it? [code]$string1{$count}[/code]

If you use tags around your HTML, then you won't have that problem - like this: <html> <body> This is a test.<br /> </body> </html> It's always a good idea to do that anyway, it makes your stuff easier to read.

Internet2 - the biggest research project in the world
neylitalo replied to neylitalo's topic in Miscellaneous
I suppose I should give you a link: http://www.internet2.edu -
Whilst browsing my university's telcom website, I saw a link that said "Internet2 @ MTU". Enraged that my school would be falling prey to the nasty trend that is Web 2.0, I followed the link. I was pleasantly surprised to read the following: There are several questions that pop into mind at this point: "What is Internet2?", "How is this going to make a difference?", AND "What was I doing browsing my university's telcom website?" The third mystery may not be possible to solve, but the other two are merely problems of research. What is Internet2? Internet2 was started in 1996 when a bunch of university CIOs decided that they needed some way to fix the state of the national network, for the sake of education and global business. As it turns out, my university's quote of 205 entities is a bit behind the times: According to this December 6, 2006 Chicago Tribune article, it's actually made up of about 300 US universities. I may have exaggerated when I said "the biggest research project in the world", but if it's not, I think it's pretty close. The impact Internet2 is going to have Since universities are veritable beehives of ingenuity, the technologies and software possible on this network are only limited by the imagination. With some legs capable of 100 Gb/s, voice and video conferencing is being taken to an entirely different level, and new and improved networking technologies are popping up all over the United States. (That's NOT a typo. One hundred gigabits per second. Ah, to have a connection at home...) IPv6, QOS, and new fiber networking technologies are being used all over Internet2, so it's merely a matter of time until they make their way into "our" internet. Things like this make me even more excited to be a part of our growing global community. I would have never thought that during my career as a student, I would have a chance to help make a change in the world. Let's hear your thoughts and opinions on this - and maybe you can help me figure out why on earth I was looking at my school's telecommunication department website.

They're similar, but not the same thing. register_globals is much more serious in that you can over-ride an internal variable simply by putting one in the URL or POST data with the same name and the contents you'd like it to have. $_REQUEST just means that different input sources can over-ride other input sources, not internal variables.

That was precisely the problem for IE, and as it turns out, Opera was misbehaving due to a miscalculated height: I forgot to account for the padding. Thanks a lot - now I can ship this off and never see it again.

I'm converting a template I was given to something that will work efficiently in my employer's CMS, and have gotten it all straightened out except for one thing: I get some nasty ~2px spacing between all table rows in Internet Explorer, and a ~2px spacing between table rows 2 and 3 in Opera. And since two (or more) heads are better than one, I figured I'd let you guys have a try at it. Some quick notes for your convenience: 1) cellpadding and cellspacing on the table are both 0. 2) There is no margin between <tr>s. 3) I cannot remove the tables. A CSS or simple attribute change is perfect, as well as less than major modifications to the layout. 4) I definitely did not make this template. Sorry for the nasty tables. And thanks in advance for helping me with this one. Edit by me:URL removed.

You may have found something there. Flock looks very nice, and they're starting to build up their extensions collection. However, I suppose I wasn't entirely truthful - in actuality, it should have been "I would love to use something that doesn't use the Gecko engine." Flock has a Mozilla framework, and Mozilla, by definition, uses Gecko. It's still going to have a gargantuan footprint and take ages to build. Thanks for the suggestion, though, and I'll definitely suggest that people give it a shot.

I've been under the impression that The Web Freaks, Inc. is the corporation controlling the * Freaks network - so The Web Freaks would own Web Host Freaks, ServerPowered, PHP Freaks, Linux Forum, Apache Freaks, and MySQL Freaks. I'm not sure if it's good or bad that I know that.

What do you think of GoDaddy's hosting service???
neylitalo replied to rantsh's topic in Miscellaneous
I'm not sure how you've determined this, but I'd like to hear the facts behind it - it's always been my impression that GoDaddy was the hosting company. They run ads during the Super Bowl, for Pete's sake. :| -
[quote author=AXiSS link=topic=124732.msg518583#msg518583 date=1170298456] it is much easier to build a website that will display right in IE7 than it is with Firefox. [/quote] Remember that you still have to accomodate for IE6, Firefox, and Opera, the top three browsers in use right now. IE7 is still going to be the odd-man-out for a while. Unless, of course, you know for certain that your users are going to be using IE7 - a corporate environment, for example, where IT updates your computer whether you want them to or not. :) I would think it would be easiest to write standards-compliant code, first, to make sure that it works in Opera, and then hack for Firefox and IE, but that's just me. And now for my turn: If I were to calculate my average Windows usage per day over the past year or two, it'd probably be measured in minutes. I don't use Windows if I can help it. However, I am relatively impressed with IE7. They've fixed many rendering bugs, particularly in CSS, and tabs are a feature I've grown dependent on. (look at [url=http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer.html]these demos[/url] in IE7 to see just how many of those bugs they've taken care of. If it looks right, they fixed it.) However, since I'm a Linux user, it's a hassle to use IE day-to-day, and even using the [url=http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page]ies4linux[/url] adaptation of IE7 (under Wine) isn't worth it. As of right now, they've got the rendering engine implemented, and that's really all I need as a web developer. I guess my browser of choice would be Firefox, simply because of the sheer number of extensions it has. I actually have quite a few bones to pick with Firefox and anything Gecko. Anything based on the Gecko engine has a massive memory footprint and takes up an unholy amount of storage space. The Mozilla browser is just an interface wrapped around the Gecko engine, and the source is a whopping 30M. Subtract a generous 5M for the interface, and you've got a rendering engine that uses 25M worth of source code. When it's compiled, Mozilla Firefox 2.0 takes up 51M, whereas Opera uses only 16M. As for memory footprint: Mozilla Firefox 2.0 uses nearly 100M of memory, and Opera uses just 25M. If I had a choice, I would LOVE to use something other than Firefox, but nothing else has support for the extensions I love. [b]Change of mind:[/b] I can't remember the last time I tried Opera, but its ad blocking support has improved by leaps and bounds since then. I'll be using Opera from now on. It's lightweight, VERY functional, and free. You can't beat that.

If you're a (blogger && Linux user && Gnome/GTK user) there's a really nifty tool to let you edit your blog without using your web browser. BloGTK is a free (BSD license) blogging tool written in PyGTK that supports Blogger, Movable Type, Wordpress, and others. To quote the website, "BloGTK won't make you more attractive to the opposite sex, it won't create world peace, and it doesn't make julienne fries. It does make updating your weblog from Linux much easier and more efficient." This will probably only affect about 12 of us, but I figured I'd post it anyway.

Feel free to reference the sticky in the Miscellaneous forum for a list of hosts, and also feel free to ask for recommendations in the Miscellaneous forum - but make sure to look for existing threads of that nature. There's not much demand for a section like that, so I don't think we'll be doing that any time soon.

It all depends on what kind of threading and multi-tasking the server uses. If the server doesn't use real multi-tasking, then you're fine. However, if it's possible that two processes could be started at the same exact time, then there's a possibility of overlap. It's highly unlikely that duplicate threads would make their way through the whole system in complete synchronization, and maybe impossible, but I'm not very well up on the low level stuff. In order for there to be a problem, Apache would have to handle the duplicate requests at the same exact time. However, the likelihood of that happening is next to nil. In the off-chance that it is indeed possible, your idea of updating the timestamps first thing would be an excellent idea - then you could throw an error for the next request, even before you waste any time and energy running useless queries.

You're declaring a class inside of a function? I'm not sure how that's going to work, and if it does, what it'll provide. To carry objects from one page to another: In the first page: [code]$_SESSION['object'] = $object;[/code] And in the second page: [code]$object = $_SESSION['object'];[/code]

Dreamweaver never comes into the equation, he's just telling you how he determined the HTML entity. (Þ) Whenever you want to use that character, enter Þ or run the input through htmlentities() before putting it in the database. [code]$input = $_POST['input]; $input = htmlentities($input);[/code]

[SOLVED] Passing a variable (with variables in it) to a function
neylitalo replied to jeffery1493's topic in PHP Coding Help
[quote author=simcoweb link=topic=124831.msg517838#msg517838 date=1170227540] that it wasn't something belligerent or against the rules [/quote] It's against the rules. Don't PM members with requests for help, for two reasons. One: Your problem has the same priority as every other problem. We'll help you if and when we want to. Two: Solutions determined via PM are useless to the community. Nobody can benefit from a solution that they can't see.
