Those two functions will counteract each other It accomplishes nothing except wasting resources.

And turn them off when the script is running on a live site. Expose as little information as possible to potential attackers.

Try $encrypted_password = (string) $db->getOne("SELECT password FROM users WHERE username = '$_POST[username]'"); If that doesn't work, then (on your original code), try to put var_dump($encrypted_password); before the if and post what it says here.

No offense, but I find it rather strange when people have a question like "What did company X do to do Y?" and then decide to ask us instead of the company.

That is essentially what a cookie is. Take a look at the HTTP protocol again and try to monitor the headers sent between your browser and the server. You'll notice that when initializing a session, the server will have a Set-Cookie header which sets a cookie called PHPSESSID. On the following requests your browser will send a header called Cookie containing that (and possibly other) cookies. If cookies are not available, then it will be passed in the URL.

Not quite. See my post above and then check out my stats. If it was like you explained, then I have used over 100% time on PHP Freaks - something which is not possible.

Whether there is an error or not depends on what the expected behavior is seeing as there is nothing syntactically wrong with the snippet. Sometimes infinite loops are what you want, so they are not per definition errors. However, in this case it would be questionable whether an infinite amount of "Hello"s should be outputted. Furthermore, the usage of the HTML line break tag indicates it's to be on a web server and be served to a web browser. Seeing as the response would never be able to be sent to the client if the code never stops executing one can conclude that, yes, there is an error in the script.

Where does it store it?

If you use Linux, then you can use ffmpeg.

Just convert them to flv on the server.

I think it's talking about how many of the total posts in that particular board are created by you. The two top ones for me are PHP XML (a temporary tutorial board) and Forum Maintenance (a recently created hidden board). For me it says respectively 100% and 28%. That fits perfectly with the percentage of posts I've created in those particular forums.

That will use twice as much bandwith. First your server will download it from the remote server, then it will upload it to the client requesting it.

Well, you just don't have direct access to them at least.

I'm sorry that I offended you. I still believe that you have that opinion because you lack the sufficient knowledge about the subject. I was, and am, trying to give you part of that knowledge. At the end of the day, what this site is essentially about is learning. I don't know if you use or have used Gmail, but if you try to compare the responsiveness and overall experience I'm certain you'd be much more pleased to use the Javascript version than using the basic HTML version.

Well, I meant that just because there is something you cannot do, then it might not be the language's fault but your fault. As demonstrated above, the example script works both with and without Javascript, but it's more sleek with Javascript on.

Tom told me we ran out of diskspace. We're trying to work out a good solution for backing up the database without using all the diskspace. We're sorry about that.

Right, so I forgot to tell WHY the above would be a good idea. By completely separating the Javascript and HTML you'll have easier maintainable code as it will not be all mixed up. Also, if you look at the Javascript and the link, then you'll see that the link actually has a href, but the Javascript attaches a click event to the link and returns false so the link will not be followed. This means that the users who have have Javascript off or are using browsers which are not capable of handling Javascript will still be able to use the application. However, the users who can use Javascript will experience the application as being more responsive and will probably have an overall better experience. It will also save some bandwidth seeing as in this case the response from the AJAX will be something like {"success":true,"new_number":18} which is 32 B long, where as a loading the page will be 551 B (approximately 1722% larger). On a very busy site with many such things, the savings could be significant.

Actually they'll be where moderation actions are located. I.e. if you see the blue bar where there is the "Jump to:" option, then the button is attached to the top of that bar.

I'll put up a live example later today.

As I said in the other topic, it depends on how the programmer uses it. Sure, if you program it in a way so the site is dependent on having Javascript on, then it's not a good thing, but as I also said, it's not the language's fault that the programmer uses it poorly. If you properly separate the layers (content (HTML), presentation (CSS), behavior (Javascript)) and use unobtrusive Javascript then I believe Javascript can lead to richer user interfaces. I believe that the picture redarrow has of Javascript is more a shortcoming of himself rather than of the language itself. If you want me to elaborate further, please say so and I'll be happy to give you a working example.

I suppose you're referring to me. For someone who claims to have nine years of experience with Javascript and 20 years of experience with creating websites (source) it shouldn't be too hard to overcome the "problem" redarrow explained.

No offense, but the programmer's incompetence is not a shortcoming of the language.

Yes, but you cannot download it using synaptic (or aptitude or apt-get) if you do not have a working connection.

Care to elaborate on that? Why?
