Hey All, I need to track the time online of my users on a site. Just like on here where you can see how many days/hours/minutes you have been logged in. I'm a little stuck on how to start. I've done some searches for this sort of thing but I haven't come up with anything decent. Any ideas or places that you can point me to? Thanks, -Chris

haha nice, I like that

Hey All, I need some help with some javascript. I have a site with a shopping cart set up for jewelry. Customers are able to add multiple ring styles. On the confirmation page I need them to select ring sizes. Say if a customer came and added 2 rings of one style and 1 ring of another style. I need the 2 rings that are the same in an expand/contract box and the other single ring by itself. The customer should have the ability to change the sizes of the 2 rings that are the same with 1 dropdown...but still have the option to change them indevidually too. I hope I'm making sense here. When you register domains at GoDaddy you will see the same thing. I have uploaded 3 demo images to make this a little more clear. demo1.jpg - the ring styles that are the same will have the + sign to expand or contract as well as a dropdown to control those 2 ring sizes demo2.jpg - shows you the expended version. If I change the top most dropdown it will change the inner ones to the same value demo3.jpg - shows you that I can change the inner dropdowns indevidually So, does anyone know of any online tutorials/examples to show me how to do something like this? Thanks, I appriciate it! -Chris [attachment deleted by admin]

Thanks again for the input thorpe, I appriciate it. Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks!

Hey thorpe, thanks for the input. Right now I haven't really decided what technology I want to use. I've programmed in C++, Java, and VB.NET before, so atleast I'm familiar with them...that doesn't mean I have to stick with them though. If you don't mind explaining more...What don't you like about VB.NET? What makes C# more elegant? What would you use for this type of project? Thanks again.

So recently I've been tasked to create a Windows desktop application for a business. This will be pretty much an "all-in-one" - sales, purchasing, inventory, reporting, etc. This will also possibly be connected to an in-house server (Server 2003, MS SQL) and a website server/database (MySQL, PHP, Apache). I need something that can interface with both easily. So pretty much my question is: What technology should I use to do this? I was thinking VB.NET but I just want to make sure that is the right path to take before I go down it. Your thoughts? Any resources that you can give me? Anything else that can point me in the right direction? Have you done something like this before? Thanks! -Chris

Well I gave you the break down about how it would work. Then if you download that zip file from belahost you will see a query in the paypal.php that inserts the information into your database from paypal. Just add another query after this to insert the "amount" into your site tokens table.

I just PM'd you with some info.

well it's all done through the backend, so you can't really see any of it.

yeah, it was launched last year for my client. I haven't heard any complaints yet

You would have to put all of the money in your account and track what you owe people. In my site I've tracked this by month and create a report at the end of the month and it spits out how much I owe each user. Then I transfer their funds to their paypal account.

You have to call your host ASAP. I got this same error a while ago on one of my servers. It happened to be the MySQL log getting too big and filling up a directory (set to 2GB), they had to move the log to a bigger directory and delete the old log. ...The error pretty much means you loaded up your hard drive or something on your hard drive.

http://www.belahost.com/pp/ click "Download paypal.php" you can also test it through their site.

hmmm, very interesting. Close too. But the problem that I'm seeing with a lot of scripts is that I can't "use" the pop up. Meaning...I need to be able to put html, images, text, links, pics, anything else in that "pop up", I also need to be able to move the mouse over onto it so that I can use the elements in it. Thanks for the script though!

haha, i just think it looks neater

MS strikes again...

correct

that would be for my mysql class.

try... SELECT t2.latitude FROM table2 t2 INNER JOIN table1 t1 ON (t1.tableId = t2.tableId) WHERE t1.signId = $_GET['id'];

Instead of using just "JOIN" for some try "LEFT JOIN" this should do what you want it to.

cellspacing="0" ?

This all depends on the application. I recently re-programmed one of my membership sites to all OOP and my other newer "styles" of programming. I started off the project with 700+ files to work through, now since I'm done with it I only have about 150 files. It took a few weeks for me to do this. This is with working on it a little here and there, and a few full days dedicated to it. So it really all depends...

I usually do this: "class.mysql.php" ...even though I usually keep all of the classes in /includes/classes, but I just think it's neater. Whatever floats your boat!

This came up with quite a few things: http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=php+get+youtube+data I would look into the YouTube/Google API

Look up Paypal IPN. Here is what I did with one of my membership sites. 1. User logs in 2. User uses a certain dollar amount to purchase "tokens"...this can be just a simple paypal button 3. Once the transaction is complete paypal IPN sends a signal to your script 4. Your script sees if the signal from paypal is "approved" or not 5. If approved take the dollar amount from paypal and add it into their "token" account on your site ...now you can just make an internal purchasing system with your tokens.
