  1. i learned HTML when i was 14 (1999) and played around with that for a few years, then picked up PHP in 2003 the summer following high school. since then, any work i've done with web programming has been freelance. it was frustrating at first, but once you get a few good, consistent clients, it's not such a nightmare anymore.

     

    i still do it part-time (VERY part-time), as i earned a BSc chemistry and am now working in specialty chemicals for oil&gas. it certainly comes in handy, especially for making useful little personal applications here and there.

  2. .. and is that script currently not working? you will only get the value of the radio button once the form has been submitted. are you receiving errors? one thing i might point out is that i'm not sure you can use slashes in the name of the input.

     

    if you want it to stay checked after submitting the form, this is merely a matter of checking whether the POSTed value matches that of the radio button when you're echoing it:

     

    <input type="radio" name="colour_print" value="1"<?php if (isset($_POST['colour_print']) && $_POST['colour_print'] == '1') echo ' checked="true"'; ?> />

  3. note your use of single quotes here:

     

    TIMEDIFF ('period_length' , 'clock')

     

    this tells MySQL to treat "period_length" and "clock" as string literals, rather than their column names. and of course, it will falter on trying to compute the time difference between the strings "period_length" and "clock". the computer doesn't know that the answer should be roughly 42 seconds. thus premiso is using backticks (`) to surround the column names in his query, and alternatively, you can eliminate the quote delimiters altogether.

  4. you're going to need to give us more than that. have you written the radio button element into the form yet? if so, what values are you expecting the form to return on submission? and how do you want the price to be calculated - is it just a static add-on to the price of the item?

  5. I keep getting owned by people with the dual 1887s too, at what point are they unlocked? Think I'm only at 22 or something, don't have time to play it much... Those Semtex grenades are hilarious when you can successfully stick them to someone!

     

    better yet is when you stick one to someone and they go running into a crowd of their teammates without thinking. i once took out an entire team because a guy i stuck with one retreated behind cover where the rest of his team was defending.

     

    i'm not really that far ahead, about lvl 27 - i only play a couple of nights a week, for a few hours at most. lately i've been doing pretty well with the thumper and mp5 akimbo.

     

    i used to be keyboard+mouse hardcore, but honestly, i've gotten used to using a controller with sticks, and i have a hard time warranting sitting at my computer desk rather than on my couch when i'm just killing leisure time anyway. but i still play CS:source every now and then with the good ol PC.

  6. Pffft.. these days, Google should be smart enough to know in which context words are used and search accordingly. C'mon Google! get with it!  :sarcastic:

     

    it is, actually ;). search "belt on waste" and it says:

     

    Did you mean: belt on waist  Top 2 results shown
  7. Is that study available somewhere? Preferably with the chemistry gibberish.

     

    unfortunately not, it was a rather informal study done by some undergrads as part of a project. i can point to some papers or textbooks that cover the topic though, if that's what you're interested in?

     

    i'll be honest, some of the terms that were probably considered "jargon" were some simple science or technical terms that weren't chemistry-specific, just sufficiently buried in the dictionary that your typical social "sciences" student wouldn't have come across. if you can't tell, i don't place much stock in the "science" portion of most social sciences.
