I got an offer to make a site for a local main event, paying $1,000 to code and maintain...i mention the money not to brag or whatever, but to see if its enough for the work i will be doing. the advice, 1 grand...worth coding a +20 page site with php and mysql for users to log in/out and pages only viewable to them the members. i got the coding down with CSS and HTML/XHTML...etc. the problem comes (for me) when they asked for a members area...of course i said i knew how to work with it...when i really dont. but hopefully in a few days will. anyway they want the members area to send out coupons mostly (along with whatever else they want to send) to the members of that main event. now i asked my self why not a mailing list? well they wanted a members area for future use, how? i have no clue. anyway the help part. since i have no clue where to start...what should i go on and read. i dont want to waste my time learning the wrong stuff. any suggestion and help would be greatly appreciated it. for now i want to learn how to create the form for them to sign up (well the php, im sorta familiar with the feed back forms and such), how to store their data on a DB, and mainly make pages only viewable to members. if you think im taking the wrong approach please let me know -alex

Is it grammatically correct when you put it in? Because it's always worked for me. I've got a live site you can see that uses it, in fact. [/quote] yeah i got the ; at the end. however, i added "-type" to it and it seems to solve the problem as well as making a blank image. 'list-style-type: none;' is what i used thanks tho

that command doesnt seem to work for firefox...does anyone know a way around this?

I'm trying to code a page in which you can "chat" with a selected celebrity. For example; Someone goes to my page and they click the link to "chat" with Il Divo. Of course they're not really going to chat with any of the members. However, I want to make it to where they ask/comment and they get a LOGICAL response. I have done this before using Javascript. Using; "var i = Math.floor(Math.random() * 5);". [a href=\"http://itsallaboutplanetkidz.com/sample.htm\" target=\"_blank\"]Here's[/a] an example. But someone told me it would be easier and more efficent using PHP. They ask a question and upon submitting the DB is searched. EX. How are you? Then get the DB to search for How (*?) are (*?) you (*?) ? and generate a logical response. I don't know if all that made sense. Im pretty much trying to create a type of bot to give out logical responses. Kindda like I did it with Javascript, but much 'smarter.' Suggestion, help, comments are greatly appreciated it.
