New css:[code]#toolbar ul { margin: 0px; padding-top: 10px; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; }[/code] ...nothing too painful :)

I agree. Good point! Just remember that there are all different kinds of levels here. Just because the solution might be obvious to you doesn't mean it makes sense or is obvious to the person that made the post. The world needs a little more compassion and understanding in it…let’s not put down a fellow programmer (or person) because that person could help YOU out someday. …food for thought

1. Very interesting concept I think a lot of new web/database builders will check out something like this to get a "good" example of where to start. 2. I do like the layout, it's pretty simple. I think you could do a lot more with it, but it looks fine as-is. You do have one xhtml error and a bunch of css warnings...but none really a big deal. It would be nice to clean those up though. 3. Thats a good question. I would say get it out on as many web, databse, mysql sites as you can and get more scripts on there. Once you are a "valuable resource" new users should be easy to come by. -Chris

I have the same type of set up for one of my sites - syracusebands.net my user profile page is profile.php my .htaccess[code]RewriteEngine  on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ profile.php?moduser=$1 [L][/code] I'm using the moduser as the "username" at the end of the url On the top of my profile.php page I have: [code]if(isset($moduser)){ $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE moduser = \"$moduser\""; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query mod failed: ' . mysql_error()); $userid = mysql_result($result, 0, 'userid'); }[/code] and that passes the userid down through the rest of the script for the other queries. So my page... www.syracusebands.net/admin acts the same as www.syracusebands.net/profile.php?userid=1 I hope this helps you out. -Chris

Yeah, that would be pretty cool if he makes it...you never know!

Thats pretty cool, I'll have to try to remember and catch that. :)

try putting spaces before and after the word that you want to search for, then just replace it with a space. Maybe something like this: [code]$search = str_replace(' and ', ' ', $search);[/code] But just with 2 arrays... This would make sure the item that you were searching for is an actual word and not a letter.

you have to output the header redirect before you output any information. Do you have any sort of header include before your redirect line?

the page is still not workin for me

I can't see your story, it's saying I'm not logged in. Do you have a public version of this?

Yeah, those are pretty funny. DUH!!! haha

why don't you just export the results to an excel spreadsheet and send that through a header? would that work? Then it would just be gone and you wouldn't have to worry about random files on your server, it would also give you organized output.

[quote author=Nameless12 link=topic=123688.msg514519#msg514519 date=1169862784] It is easy to figure out problems, "getting it to work" is never the best solution. I find beginners tend to want stuff to just work. There are two types of problem solving 1. the right way 2. hacking away at the keyboard until it works <-- beginner way [/quote] But if you don't hack away at it, you might never get it to work. I feel that once you get it to work then you can ask youself "How can I make this better" THEN you can do it the "right" way...if there is such a thing. With programming there are hundreds of ways to do one thing and get the same output...who's to say which one is right? I'll stick with obsidians 1-5 system and give myself a 2 or 3. I've been using PHP for a while but it isn't until recently where I've wanted to actually program in it and use it as my own. I don't have any formal training or classes so all of my learning has been through reading book or online, looking at examples, talking to others (like on here), and "hacking" away at the keyboard until I can get something done the way that I want. Once I get to that point I ask myself "What else is out there that might make this better?"

Hey everyone, I happened to come across this article and thought that I would share it with all of you. Hopefully it will help you out. BUT I would recommend this for learning or mockups ONLY. It is always better to make it yourself, but atleast this will start you off in the right direction. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/quickcssmockupswithphotoshop Hope this helps, -Chris

Pretty much just add a float style (maybe with some padding/margin) and your text will move around the image.

This is another way to do it: [code=php:0]//find total records $query = "SELECT * FROM your_table"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error()); if (mysql_numrows($result) <= 0){ echo "No Information Available"; }else{ // Printing results in HTML $x = 0; while ($x < mysql_numrows($result)): $name = mysql_result($result, $x, 'name'); echo "<input name=\"foo[$x]\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"foo[$x]\"/>$name<br />"; $x++; endwhile; }[/code]

if you really want to delete something you can use something like this:[code]$query = ("DELETE FROM your_table WHERE (TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(date)) > 30") or die ("Error in Update sql: ". mysql_error()); $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());[/code] This will delete anything that is over 30 days old

wow, talk about getting off topic! haha ;)

Here, check this out: http://www.thewatchmakerproject.com/journal/276/building-a-simple-php-shopping-cart

Check out http://www.belahost.com/pp/ and download paypal.php You can then edit the script to do what you want.

I don't think this can be done with htaccess. The best thing to do is to make two frames. One 1 pixel in size, the rest 100% in size. Then load the page into the big frame and the URL in the addressbar will never change again. Hope this helps, -Chris

The best things to start with is to use id's for everything and don't duplicate data. For example when you put in your messaging service on your site, don't use username_to or username_from, use id_to and id_from. So instead of: To: danger2oo6 From: cmgmyr it would be: To: 23 From: 64 ...or whatever numbers they are. Then you query the member name and whatever else you need. By making your database this way it will cut down a lot of space and your queries will be faster. -Chris

With IE I know I can use this:[code]<!--[if IE]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/ie.css" /> <![endif]-->[/code] Is there something like that for Safari where I can use a different style sheet, or is there some other hack? It is for a margin-top error if that helps. Everything looks fine in IE, FF, and Opera...just not Safari. Thanks

Try using background-position with x and y values. Check out http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_background-position.asp for more info.
