Yes, you can request a username change. There is a sticky in this forum for making requests.

Then delete my account, or just edit the code out in the reported threads. We don't delete accounts either. Again I would ask you to read the rules. But as a show of good will, I did edit out a url and some db info in one of your posts (we don't really have to do even that, btw). But yeah...we don't delete content...we are here to provide help and resource for others. It's anti-productive to go deleting stuff...especially stuff marked as solved...on that note...you really wanna repay the free help you got by asking for it to be removed? that doesn't sound very grateful...

p.s. - I see 2 entries in the "report to mod" section by you, both less than an hour ago (one of them was actually timestamped after this this thread...)...even if it were something we do, less than an hour by no means constitutes being ignored.

We do not remove posted content, please read the rules for further details.

this question has been asked a lot of times, please try searching the regex forum.

The non-regex approach: $string='http://maps.google.com/maps?q=46.055603,14.507732&num=1&t=m&z=12'; $parts = parse_url($string); parse_str($parts['query'],$params); $q = explode(',',$params['q']);

$data does not exist within your getText() function. You either need to pass it as an argument or declare it as a globally scoped variable within your function.

You just don't know how to use it right. I know, because I've watched you use it no i'm talking about the actual web developer addon, not the built-in web developer tools stuff. But yes I do readily admit I'm not pro at the built-in chrome developer tools quite yet...It wasn't all *that* long ago since I finally gave in to you bugging me about using chrome more!

main thing that keeps me using firefox is a couple of web analytics addons that make it easier to do my job, that are FF specific. Also, the chrome version of the web developer addon isn't as robust as FF's

"Cloud computing" from an average user's perspective (not a developer or company offering a service) is really more about having less actual hardware and software physically in front of them, being able to access their personal stuff (email, games, whatever) from any device anywhere, not just sitting in front of their computer at home. Rewind the clock a couple decades when a lot of "computers" at businesses were really just dummy terminals hooked up to a single computer... that's IMO kind of where I see the future going...going back to the principles of the past, only better technology involved.

Looks pretty impressive, could have come in handy for a few projects I've done in the past...

Meh, I still use Firefox 100%. Chrome is getting there, but the addons for Firefox just make it unbeatable. I'm in the same boat...I really wanna switch to Chrome but the addons keep me on FireFox

aaah I guess chrome doesn't have it. I did find it in FireFox...pretty cool

well i found the rightclick > inspect element but I seemed to have lost my "3d" ...

Did they do it? who knows. Far fetched? Certainly not. Big companies and institutions are not shortsighted like the average retarded monkey teenagers who can't see much farther into the future than the time it takes to microwave a hotpocket. It's not even a particularly complex plan, either. The fact that people don't give the people who run this world anywhere near as much credit or caution as they should...

A "CMS Dashboard" is like any other web page in principle. The basic GA implementation is to slap some javascript on a page and it will report to GA a page view, along with some other "top level" stuff like what browser was used, etc... GA does provide custom coding options (populating certain GA object properties and/or calling certain object methods) that let you record events on a page. What those events are and how you choose to implement the code for it is up to you.

what realm/faction do you play?

And there is also the country code (1) to consider. In the US, you usually do have to include the country code in order to call a number in the US that is outside of your area code - or even calling someone in your area code but you want to specify the area code for some reason. For example, if I want to call my friend Texas and I'm up in New York (different area code), I would have to dial a full 1-555-444-4444

Hello All, Most of us on the staff like the idea of hosting contests here. In the past, we've tried to do it, but our attempts were fail. We have more or less been in agreement that the reason the contests failed was due to lack of prizes that anybody really cared about. Well we've been talking about it and we think we have enough people willing to chip in towards handing out some decent prizes. Nothing substantial like thousands of dollars...but enough to hand out something smallish but cool like books or $20 amazon or thinkgeek giftcards etc... So first off, we'd like to see how many people would even be interested in competitions around here. So cast your vote in the poll! But second, we'd also like to hear from people about contest ideas and suggestions, so please post your contest suggestions in this thread. To give an idea of scope, back in the day, we tried out two contests: one was to make a graphing calculator and the other one was to make a text based fighting game. IMO both were pretty cool ideas, something that has room to have cool bells and whistles but not take months on end to make, etc... so let's hear it! One last note: If you are interested in donating to the "prize" pool, please PM me! Your generosity may be rewarded with things such as joining the Supporter Membergroup (Supporters get a badge under their name to distinguish themselves from regular members, and they also have the site ads removed), or other benefits such as being a judge in the contests, etc... .josh

How did you make fire? Through the sheer force of will. Don't you mean...the sheer will of the force? *.josh busts out lightsaber

Yeah...our previous attempts were a whole lot of fail. Not a whole lot of interest in coming up w/ contest ideas/details (We did IMO come up with some good ideas, just not a whole lot of people participated in the brainstorming/hashing it out). Maybe a dozen people signed up tops, only 3-4 actually submitted something, judges didn't really wanna judge. And we actually did offer prizes, but the prizes TBH kinda sucked. If I remember correct, prizes were along the lines of something like subscription to some no-name online publication. Nothin' really substantial like "Free copy of xyz book! Personal robot! Free t-shirt!" And that probably made for a downward spiraling lack of interest for every step of the way... But we really liked the idea of having contests and we even approached the owner asking if he would be interested in ponying up real prizes, or maybe a percentage of the ad money and donations made here. But we got shot down on that count (Owner basically said that money is barely enough to keep the lights on (and sometimes isn't enough). Soo... we do have a desire to do this sort of thing, but no resources to offer prizes substantial enough to interest anybody or be worth it. Also, I do like the idea of some kind of badge/title for winners and that may be enough for a few people, but not really enough for most people....

Your intentions are good, but being able to help others and teach them is a learning process, same as anything else. I remember when I first started coming here, I would try to help people and...someone would ask how to do xyz and I would give them like 20 lines of code as an answer that *technically* worked, and then some seasoned member would come in and give them a one-liner ...the important thing is to not get mad when someone "1-ups" you on answers (even if they aren't particularly nice about it); instead, be humbled by it, learn from it. There are plenty of people who are badass coders but fail to teach others how to do what they do, etc.. it is a learning process, best learned by experience, same as anything else. The more you help out around here, the more you will not only learn php itself, but you will also learn how to better respond to questions. As others have mentioned, the important thing is to throw out a disclaimer when you are not sure or are stumbling with words, etc...

You can work yourself up to at least Guru membergroup status and be able to post tutorials yourself. Or you can submit to can submit the tutorial to us for review.
