FROM `phpmyadmin`.`pma_bookmark` you named your database phpmyadmin?

i think that's your own browser settings or plugin or something.  i type kilbad into my ff address bar and it brings up a search list.

I used to dabble in electronics. I can buy some parts and make my own tape player or radio if I [i]really[/i] wanted to, but the ones I bought at the store work just fine, so why bother?

anybody happen to use/know of a good (and free) truetype font editor/creator out there? I've been searching google haven't really found something worth mentioning.  i know windows has a built-in font creator but from what i understand it's only good on the system you made it on unless you make it into a file which i don't think window's built-in thingy does that..from what i can tell, anyways. maybe someone might know how to do that and then i can live with that. anyone?

i bet that guy got a visit by the yakuza before the end of the day ;D

[quote author=jcombs_31 link=topic=109711.msg442508#msg442508 date=1159378439] Hmm, I guess the next question would be about the download interface.  Never done anything like that.  Also, moving files around the server server seems like it could get pretty heavy, especially if the site becomes big, so I'm not sure.  [b]This is on a pretty big scale for me and I wish I could see an example of a company that has already done somthing similar to get a better idea.  Once I have a clear picture of the correct process, I'm sure I can code this to work.  [/b] I didn't know my sig was screwed up, guess I can fix it. [/quote] I'm sorry, I took that to mean "If only I could go to some company's website, look at their process and see what they do, I can figure out how to code it myself."  So I gave an example company that for you to go to their website and go through their download process and see their 'process', and then go and make your own code based off that. Is that not what you meant? Then I am sorry. p.s. - replying to a misunderstanding with sarcasm is childish.

You asked for a company that is doing it, I gave an example.

isn't that what napster is doing these days?

SMF is the forum software we use now.  Just like phpbb or invision, etc.. except so far SMF has proven to be much better than them.  As far as I know, we have no official affiliation with the SMF team. Although, some of the SMF dev team and other SMF people did come here to help with the move to their software, as well as help out on setup and features and stuff, cuz you know, we're the shiz :) 

there is no way we can even begin to tell anything about this script unless we see code (please don't go posting hundreds of files).  i suppose you could write a script that searches for things like everywhere a global is used, things like the mail function is used, url addresses, etc.. but when it comes right down to it, your going to have to look at it and determine for yourself whether it's a "spy" thing. 

i played the stock market earlier this year. for about 3 days i owned 5 shares of google. i lost about 50 bucks before i decided to sell and get rid of it :(

wow i totally forgot about the newline thingy. :( my bad

sounds like a lot of extra work and space being used for a program on all your computers, rather than just going to gmail.com and logging in.  or maybe i'm just lazy. well i'm definately lazy. it's just a matter of [i]how[/i] lazy.  cuz my laziness does distort whether something is truly lazy or not.

hmm. i assume that since you aren't getting your die message from your connect, that it's connecting.  add a die statement to your db select: mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error()); maybe the db is not being selected.  also make sure your table name is spelled correctly in your query string.  you might also want to try echoing $query and using one of the echoed strings directly into the database like through phpmyadmin or something. also, your query is using $line which is your actual data; are you sure that's what the id is supposed to be, in your query? i think that's what you're shooting for, but i'm just making sure.  i saw that you originally had $line_num in your query and then you edited your post.

coding does seem to have a "magic" feel to it, kinda like a magician doing all kinds of crazy hand motions and speaking wierd incantations to weave a spell that does something. At least, that's how i look at coders: the new age magicians. 

..yeah i just go to gmail.com or hotmail.com or whatever.  i used outlook in the past. i wouldn't say it sucked, but i wouldn't use it again.  i like sticking to web-based mailboxes because then i can check my email and also have access to old emails from other computers.

hi. yes, as lots of others have mentioned, using $_GET/$_POST (and properly checking for them) is what you must do. but i think people kind of skipped to step C and forgot about point B. since your register_globals is set to ON, when you pass a variable through your addressbar like [b]index.php?id=123 [/b] you can access it by simply doing something like this: [b]echo $id;[/b] well when they turn register_globals OFF, you can no longer do that. when you pass a variable through the address bar like above, you now have to access it like this: [b]echo $_GET['id'];[/b] same thing with posted variables from forms.  with register_globals set to ON, when you had a form and had a text input tag called name='blah' and you click submit, you can then access in your processing script by simply using $blah.  Well now you have to use $_POST['blah'] or $_GET['blah'] depending on your form's method.  $_POST and $_GET are arrays.  treat them like arrays, because that's what they are.  They are arrays of your variables passed to your next script from forms or address bars or whatever, and each array element 's name is the name of your variable. $_POST['variablename'] from here, you can then go back to the previous posts as far as checking to make sure they exist/are legit/convert them back to regular $variablename for your coding pleasure. 

str_replace, ereg_replace, substr_replace just do www.php.net/insertoneofthosehere

you sure that $file exists or that $lines holds the file that you are expecting? does your echo statement in your foreach loop echo out 2000 lines from the file, saying "blah deleted 0" "blah deleted 1" etc... ?

nono, it's all about understanding the nature of the paper.  just lay the paper flat across as a bridge.  do not think of it as the paper bending, for that is impossible.  think of it as everything else bending around the paper.  you can put 100lbs of books on it, and the paper is not moving, rather the space around the paper.  Your eyes are just fooled into thinking the paper is bending because even light bends around it.  problem solved.  A++ in my book.

i honestly don't think there are really any good schools out there that teach you things like flash and php and ajax and stuff, right now.  I could be wrong.  I haven't looked into it a whole lot, but I know that none of the community colleges in my area really go into it.  And I've talked to several people going to college for comp sci degrees and they pretty much concur.  Hell, even a couple of high school kiddies i know complain that their computer classes teach you a few basic html tags and that's it.  I'm sure there's got to be some good "online colleges" out there.  But at that point, you may as well do what virtually everybody else does - buy a book and/or read the manual and come to places like this.  I suppose I could go into some really long winded theory/explanation as to the nature of web development and the correlation between lack of formal school training and freelancing market, but I'd probably even put myself to sleep.  If you're looking for a teacher to stand in front of you, then I would look into some trade schools like ITT tech or DeVry or something.  Go for the cisco, network and a+ classes.  This isn't spot on to what you are looking for, but that would teach you things like [i]how[/i] the internet works, so learning to do web development should become a whole lot easier on the software level.  especially if you get into things like sockets.  my 2 cents.

i tell you what. how about we trade.

hahaha that's funny cuz you were like LOL OOPSZ and you're asking about OOP. OOPSZ....OOP..OOPSZ...OOP.. get it? HAHahahHAHaha, ermm, ahem. yeah. <goes away>

haha. hahAHAHahHAA! Build a website for a new grill? haHAHahaHAHahHAHA! classic.

[code] $query = "SELECT SUM(number) AS total FROM records";             $result = mysql_query($query);             $r = mysql_fetch_array($result);             echo "total is: {$r['total']}"; [/code]
