He was simply conveying: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html

Truthfully? Here is what i would do...if I were you a) goto >oscommerce.com b) SEARCH addons > Reports c) You will find one, that has ALL THE ROUTINES needed, that will create a "yearly" in which drills down into "Monthly." "monthly"... d) You can then copy the code...and modify to your DB and Tables...etc...but take the time to read it...also ;-0...then you'll have the concept. Jim

Yes, you can yourself!! break it down into individual files and save them on your computer

The first step is along the lines of: // Welcome the user (by name if they are logged in). echo '<h1>Welcome'; if (isset($_SESSION['first_name'])) { echo ", {$_SESSION['first_name']}!"; } As Pikachu2000 mentions... You might would like to research 'sessions & user tracking' Jim

Yes, i am...lol...just way too many people install things (canned programs )...not even knowing what the background code does....etc...like sending out "hidden mail" about your install envioroment, looking for exploits...to use as mail servers....for spamming

I'm confused...can you outline the goal? What "else if", would be involved? (would sure help)

Take Longer than what? From the sound of your post...you are trying to do, what has already been done? So, that's what I would do? :-) Why reinvent the wheel...is what I am trying to convey...

Well, what I would do? Is simply go to google and do a search for: a) "open source facebook clone" b) Install it? c) And see how it's done !! There are many available..and that would be your best approach I feel from my standpoint..

Based on time? (when added)? How deep will you drill down? LOL...

Howdy Dragen,

Truthfully? I word take this to the wordpress site forums.. as I am sure...web cowboys have done what you are needing to do.

re: The developers are a legitimate company so I suspect this is a security oversight on their behalf, as opposed to anything malicious carried out by one of their team. Either way, they now have some serious questions to answer. First off, you are welcome... 2nd? Show me, they didn't write the code...and are outsourcing? To India? (wink) Let alone...smart enough to "read between the lines) as you have... Before "selling it and making a profit" in a PM, it's be great if you could send me a link to them?... Just curious, as I'd like to just see? (how legitimate) etc.

re: Well of course all the kids have cell phones and most adults do to so it hit me that with all the texting everyone does maybe we can harness the technology. OK, I am starting to read the whole thing, but need to interject this...from the 'get go' :-) a) Yeah, amazing...and the parents pay for them...and kids love to text for sure.. ME Can't stand it b) Many, could have "family plans" etc...BUT? Depending on "the plan"...the NUMBER text messages, per plan or account any times have "caps" on nuers of messages. c) Hence, my reasoning of first? Having the opt-in/opt-out CONTROL, as face it...Once BILLABLE TIME is attacked to your Cell phone bill, You are HOSTAGE to that 'financial contract'...and MUST pay up... d) Think along the lines off 900 numbers etc....as for what i mean in C) e) re: I think I would do an op/out option on a third form which would just require first name, last name, and phone number or email address depending which one was used to sign up. How fluent in php are you? 1) As you'd have to build all this, using cookies and sessions to track who's-who during the "form experience" 2) You for sure, would want to run it "secure" https;// 3) Why? Heck, I'll log in and spam the heck out it...just kidding> All, food for thought...lol And, it can be done...but? Not on a simple/cheap shared hosting account...as you'd have to install modules for the SMS onto the core OS you other option...and I am sure you know you can...is subscribe to a service etc... Jim

I got the 'jist' of what you are trying to do...and yes, a long time since I have been also...but had some time to kill...and looking for help on what i need...lol a: Youth Group", "Parents", "Deacons", etc. Well, first off? (and these are my personal thoughts of flow) a) I would think the 'church' has a website b) What you "plan on doing" is actually a 'spam list' BUT? So, with that said... and again...if it was me? Well, i'd want to be able to control the access etc...of what I get in my email etc. c) This would take? We'll a user registration form...with "opt in/opt out" etc...and tracking.. d) Then the "user type" would be defined there, and thats tossed into the Db e) HAve you built the database yet? Jim

More than likely, you are correct in your assumption > $s='<a href="http://vopharmacy.com/">viagra online</a>'; WHO? Was the '3rd party" :-) Jim
