If you go to this page, they have step-by-step instructions on how to configure, compile, and install Apache and PHP. And for MySQL, if you go to this page, they'll walk you through the MySQL configuration and installation. One last note: You'll need to install PHP last. To enable MySQL support in PHP, MySQL has to be installed before you configure and install PHP.

What's preventing you from installing packages from the repository?

People who only know one language often have a mentality that "theirs" is the best one. Unfortunately, the old saying rings true: "When all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail."

That looks pretty efficient to me - you're dealing with two separate entities there (videos and images), so it's good that you have their logic separated.

Can you connect to other databases?

I suspect you don't understand the idea behind INSERTing data in a table. When you INSERT, you create an entirely new row, and WHERE clauses aren't used except when you're working with pre-existing data. If you're trying to create a new row with a book's review, you're probably going to want something along these lines: INSERT INTO nbc_bookreview (reviewText, bookISBN) VALUES ('$formComment', '$bookID'); And when you're describing to us what you want to do, you need to describe it in your own words, not just show us your code. Your code may be (in this case, it is) faulty, so we can't tell what it is you're trying to do.

HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET is a request header that's sent by your client, and has nothing to do with PHP, or anything on the server, for that matter. In Firefox, you can change it by navigating to about:config and changing intl.accept_charsets.

You should probably redesign it so you only have the user ID in the database table, not the whole URL. MySQL sorts it that way because it's sorting strings, but if you only store numbers, it can do numerical sorting.

Yes, my laptop has that feature, but it didn't fix the problem. The wedged dime was a last-ditch effort to solve the problem, after all other solutions had been whittled away.

A few months ago, the screen on my laptop stopped working. (I suspect the fluorescent light at the bottom of the screen; the inverter board is good.) So I had to hook it up to an external LCD, and to make my laptop not try to use the built-in LCD, I wedged a dime between the display and the switch that shuts off the LCD when you close the lid. I'd just shut the lid, but I still needed access to the power button. But for some reason, the switch stopped working today, so it was always trying to use the laptop display instead of the external output. After determining that there was no way I could use the switch to disable the LCD, I racked my brain to think of a way that I could remedy the situation. The fix? As it turns out, these things are pretty easy to take apart. The bottom half of the laptop (the keyboard, etc., everything that matters) is sitting on my desk, and the display is sitting in a box. On a similar note, if you have a working 14.1" LCD panel for an Inspiron 600m that you could sell, send me a PM. They run $70 on ebay, and I can't quite afford that.

I thought Ron did as well... I stand corrected.

I would like to point this out to be also relevant. Some changes requested are those that require mods to be installed, and others are changes that require administrator action. Unfortunately, only one of us (ober) has the privileges to install modifications, and ober and steelmanronald06 are the only admins that have actual permission to make forum-level changes. This is not something we've overlooked, it's something that phpfreak has done on purpose. So when these suggestions come through, they ultimately go to ober and steelman for their approval or rejection - they're the men that have to implement them, after all. And it's not an easy thing to do. They have Actual Life to deal with, and I'm fairly certain that ober's family and Ronald's instructors wouldn't like it much if they started playing second fiddle to a website. I guess we have an unofficial policy that is, to use a huge cliche, "if it isn't broken, don't fix it". Unless things are seriously broken, the administrators are probably going to just leave it be. And, please, don't suggest that we add more administrators, ones that have fewer pressing matters to deal with. It's been discussed, and as you can see, it hasn't happened.

Here's a tip/trick for google searches: when what you want isn't showing up, try adding terms that won't match the pages you're seeing. For example, "terms of use" will give you a whole lot of websites' TOS agreements. However, if you search for "how to write terms of use", you stand a better chance. Almost half of the results on that search are in the vein of what you're looking for. The two pages I looked at seem to be in agreement that you should read some existing ones and compare them. The other pages may have other ideas. And in the event that you do start to compare pre-existing TOS agreements, you should find a dictionary so you can look up any words you don't know. (http://www.dictionary.com is excellent, and free, as is http://www.merriam-webster.com/.) When it comes to legality, you really don't want to make assumptions. (For the record, indemnity is defined as "protected against future loss".)

I just learned this today. And in my search for a keyboard, I actually ran across their website, but decided against it after comparing their prices to the ones I could get on eBay. I got two 1994 Model M's for $10 apiece. They're technically "Made by Lexmark for IBM", but that's good enough for me.

We also know that if people don't initially present arguments valid enough for us to consider the change, they probably aren't going to come up with them later. And members of the administration team often have ideas, and present them to the rest of the team, so there have been many suggestions made that the users don't see. This might explain our quick rejection of suggestions in some cases.

I think I can say with some certainty that Andy wasn't insulted by your question, and that he wasn't insulting you. He is, however, expressing curiosity as to how a fairly standard business practice is stupid to you. They are a business, after all, and they are in it to make money. And if you foresee customers needing to pay $0.30 or less for something, you could always just raise your rates for those items by $0.30.

We're aware, and planning on fixing it as soon as we can. Thanks, though.

It appears as though our IPS has been put up again. Take a look at the thread below. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,96050.0.html

Take a look at this one. I haven't used the MX 610, but I would assume that it comes with the standard Logitech excellence. And if that doesn't suit you, I can say with some certainty that the G7 and the MX 1000 would be comfortable for lefties as well as righties. They're designed fairly symmetrically, with a few curves and twists here and there. They don't feel exactly the same in your left hand as in your right, but they're still comfortable.

RSI affects any joint that experiences the same movements over and over, so your mouse hand is a very likely target for RSI. (Let's face it, there aren't very many different ways to click.) I have only felt the symptoms of RSI once or twice, but I remember how painful it is. The standard (very effective, too) way to alleviate RSI is to take frequent, short breaks, and to vary your movements frequently. (You can find tools to help you remember to take breaks, and even force you to.) The proper work tools can also help considerably. Ergonomic human-interface devices and a well designed work environment can go a long way in making your workday more comfortable. In your situation, you may want to try a different mouse. I've been using a Logitech G7 for a few years, and I've had amazing luck with it. (It's very technically amazing, too, but that's for another time.) The MX family is very similar to the G7; I've used the MX700 and MX1000, and can vouch for them. It's also possible that your chair placement is putting your arms at an odd angle to the desk. I don't know what the best angle is, but you could try changing it and seeing if it helps. And take a look at http://www.rsi-relief.com. I've only discovered it now, but after a quick once-over, it looks like they have a lot of valuable resources.

An IT manager that doesn't know what FTP is? What school do you go to? (I could use a steady job. ) (I'm not actually that interested in knowing what school you go to.)

No, it's because there was an overwhelming negative response to magic_quotes_gpc. Magic quotes were, as has been said before, the lazy way out, and more often than not, were responsible for breaking more stuff than they fixed. Anything that eliminates poor practices is a good thing, in this man's opinion. No such word. Regardless is what you're looking for.

The site creator discovered vulnerabilities that he didn't have time to fix immediately, so he decided to lock it down until he finds time to get it fixed. Which, I should add, might be indefinitely.

Please don't post with every question - odds are good that it's already been answered. Search first.

Ah, yes. And then have a getInstance method to handle the first instantiation, right?
