A server is a computer. What is the problem? Post your code and any errors, etc. It's likely you have the path wrong or something.

that means you have a missing } somewhere. Line up your brackets.

<th> is a table header. HTML is a vast language, I'm sure there are many things you might not recognize - like fieldset and legend.

echo date("M d, Y", time()-(60*60*6));

First of all, I think you need \r\n instead of \n\n If that doesn't work it's because you're sending it as HTML. Try using <br> instead of \r\n

Set the upload_max_filesize to something higher.

the line before it needs a ; to end it.

Are you sure it's the file type, and not size that is the problem? Perhaps the files are too big.

Or: echo '<table border='5'> <tr> <th>Picture</th> <th><a href="results.php?sort=1">Price</a></th> <th><a href="results.php?sort=2">Baths</a></th> <th><a href="results.php?sort=3">Bedrooms</a></th> <th>State</th> <th>City</th> <th><a href="results.php?sort=4">Square Feet</a></th> </tr>'; If you want to use a " inside of a string, you need to either mark the string with ' or escape them like Fert said. Same for ' and \'.

$string = substr($str, 0, strpos($str, $chr));

Seconding wordpress - I use it for my blog and other things. If you use MediaTemple it's a one click install - otherwise you install it yourself, but it's very easy.

"Are you sure there's no simple way to redirect www.mysite.com/username to www.mysite.com/userpage.php?id=$userid" mod_rewrite IS the simple way. That's exactly what it's for!

i thought everything was done in the httpd.conf file??? No, it's done in the htaccess file.

Did you try using mod_rewrite? It might already be enabled...move on to the next step in the article, or call your host.

Put each story in an array, and use array_unique

echo '<tr> <td><span class="style3"> Local time in '.$time.'</span> </td> </tr>' or echo "<tr> <td><span class=\"style3\"> Local time in $time</span> </td> </tr>"

You never define $file.

Yes.

Finish it? I don't count enough closing } for the opening {. If that was all the code you got, I guess I counted wrong. The code is very inconsistently written.

I think you're missing some of it. I changed what was applicable, but like I said, I think the end is missing some code. Try this, and add what was missing if it was, etc. <? include "config.php"; if (!isset($_FILES['userfile'])) exit; if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) { if ($_FILES['userfile']['size']>$max_size) { echo "<font color=\"#333333\" face=\"Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">File is too big !</font><br>\n"; exit; } if(($_FILES['userfile']['type']=="image/gif") || ($_FILES['userfile']['type']=="image/pjpeg") || ($_FILES['userfile']['type']=="image/jpeg") || ($_FILES['userfile']['type']=="image/png") || ($_FILES['userfile']['type'] == 'image/x-photoshop') || ($_FILES['userfile']['type'] == 'application/photoshop')){ if (file_exists("./".$path . $_FILES['userfile']['name'])) { echo "<font color=\"#333333\" face=\"Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">There already exists a file with this name, please rename your file and try again</font><br>\n"; exit; } //generate random number $zufall = rand(1,9999); $fupl = "$zufall"; $res = copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "./".$path .$fupl .$_FILES['userfile']['name']); if (!$res) { echo "<font color=\"#333333\" face=\"Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Didn't work, please try again</font><br>\n"; exit; } else { ?> <br> <? //set url variable $domst = ""; $drecks = "/"; $imgf = $fupl.$_FILES['userfile']['name']; $thbf = $tpath.$imgf; $urlf = $domst .$domain .$drecks .$path .$imgf; //create thumbnails function createthumb($name,$filename,$new_w,$new_h){ $system=explode('.',$name); if (preg_match('/jpg|jpeg|JPG/',$system[1])){ $src_img=imagecreatefromjpeg($name); } if (preg_match('/png|PNG/',$system[1])){ $src_img=imagecreatefrompng($name); } if (preg_match('/gif|GIF/',$system[1])){ $src_img=imagecreatefromgif($name); } $old_x=imageSX($src_img); $old_y=imageSY($src_img); if ($old_x > $old_y) { $thumb_w=$new_w; $thumb_h=$old_y*($new_h/$old_x); } if ($old_x < $old_y) { $thumb_w=$old_x*($new_w/$old_y); $thumb_h=$new_h; } if ($old_x == $old_y) { $thumb_w=$new_w; $thumb_h=$new_h; } $dst_img=ImageCreateTrueColor($thumb_w,$thumb_h); imagecopyresampled($dst_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0,$thumb_w,$thumb_h,$old_x,$old_y); if (preg_match("/png/",$system[1])){ imagepng($dst_img,$filename); } if (preg_match("/gif/",$system[1])){ imagegif($dst_img,$filename); }else { imagejpeg($dst_img,$filename); } imagedestroy($dst_img); imagedestroy($src_img); } if(($_FILES['userfile']['type'] == 'image/x-photoshop') || ($_FILES['userfile']['type'] == 'application/photoshop')){ //No thumbnail }else{ createthumb($path.$imgf,$tpath.$imgf,$tsize,$tsize); } ?> <body bgcolor="#ffffff"> <center> <div class="support" id="agreement"> <table border='0' > <link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="style.css"> <FORM action="nowhere" method="post"><title>iMage-Net</title> <center><? include "ads.php"; ?> <tr><td>URL:</td><td><input type="text" name="thetext" size="60" value='<? echo $domst .$domain .$drecks ?>viewer.php?id=<? echo $imgf; ?>'></td></tr> <tr><td>DIRECT URL:</td><td><input type="text" name="thetext" size="60" value="<? echo $urlf; ?>"></td></tr> <tr><td>HTML:</td><td><input type="text" name="thetext" size="60" value="<a href='<? echo $domst .$domain .$drecks; ?>viewer.php?id=<? echo $imgf; ?>'><img src='<? echo $domst.$domain.$drecks.$tpath.$imgf; ?>'></a>"></td></tr> <tr><td>BBCode:</td><td><input type="text" name="thetext" size="60" value="[url=<? echo $domst .$domain .$drecks; ?>viewer.php?id=<? echo $imgf; ?>][img=<? echo $domst.$domain.$drecks.$tpath.$imgf; ?>][/url]"></td></tr> <tr><td>IMAGE:</td><td> <img src='<? echo $thbf ?>'> </td></br><a href="javascript:history.go(-1);" title="go back to previous page">Back</a> </div></tr></td></tr> <? } } else { echo "<font color=\"#333333\" face=\"Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><link rel='stylesheet' href='style.css' type='text/css'><div class='support' id='agreement'><p><center>You selected a wrong filetype!</font></center></div><br>\n"; exit; } } ?> </table> <br><br> </body>

Change HTTP_POST_FILES to just FILES, for one. Secondly, a psd is not an image, so PHP won't be able to create a thumbnail of it. It's a very complex file, not an image. On Preview: The GD Library is how PHP manipulates Images. The script could be modified to allow people to upload and host psd files, but not to create image previews (AFAIK.)

Google for Cross site scripting and XSS. You'll need to use things like strip_tags(), htmlentities(), etc. There are some good articles on how to stop it. Basically, sanitize ALL user input ALWAYS.

mod_rewrite is really the best solution for what you want to do. Here is a great article: http://www.sitepoint.com/article/guide-url-rewriting

Are you sure? It's in the users table? Are you connecting to the right database, etc?

You could write a game in PHP, I've done it a few times. You could use any web language, other good ones might be RoR or Java. If you want to make desktop software rather than a browser-based game, you'll want to use a language such as Java, C++
