    Thank you! :-)

    I don't believe I'm following your post. I tried copying/pasting your exact text as-is (just to see what would happen), and nothing echoed. Where/how do those $1 come into play? Thanks!

    Hello - I have a long string that may or may not contain a full web URL in it. I need to post/echo that string, and if there is a web URL in it, then I need to add: <a href="$url_string" target="_blank"> ...before it, and then after it I have to add: </a> So far, I was using the following code to see if there was a URL in it: $has_url = strpos($my_string, 'http'); if ($has_url) { ...and here is where I'm lost. I get that the logic would be that I need to: 1) Go through the string and pull out all the characters from the "http" until either the string ends (if the URL were the last thing in the string) or until there is a space (since no URLs have spaces, and every URL would be followed by a space, unless it is at the end of the string). 2) Put the text from step 1 above into a variable ($url_string). 3) Find where the "http" starts, and append the following text before it: <a href="$url_string" target="_blank"> 4) Find the end of the URL, and append the following text after it: </a> Unfortunately, I'm far too novice at PHP to figure this out. I've tried some stuff, but none of it seems to work. Hoping someone here can help. Thanks!!! (P.S. - I understand that not all URLs start with "http", but for my purposes the assumption that they do should be fine)

    Hello - Suppose I had a MySQL result set that was something like this: ITEM: COLOR: ball red ball blue book red book green book black If I were to use the code: do { echo $row_myQuery['item'] . " - " . echo $row_myQuery['color'] . "<br />"; } while ($row_myQuery= mysql_fetch_assoc($myQuery)); Then I end up with this: ball - red ball - blue book - red book - green book - black MY QUESTION: What I'd like to know is, how could I re-write that php code so that I could get an output like this?: ball - red, blue book - red, green, black Thanks!

    Yeah - I have virtually no experience with JS or JQuery. But I was fudging with some CSS workarounds, and I am SO close, but can't figure out this last part... ...I have the main three divs in my three-column layout spanning towards the bottom now. But where I'm stuck is that the middle div/column has ANOTHER div inside it that ALSO needs to span to the bottom (and is not). If you could offer a final solution based on my code, that would be so amazing!

    Hello. I have a main container div with three sub-container divs (left, middle, right) that I would all like to extend to the bottom of the page, regardless of how much content is in them. They all extend INDIVIDUALLY, but they will not expand TOGETHER (so if there's a lot of content in the left side, that side will expand down but the middle and right will remain "short"). You can see the example here: http://www.stacykaiser.com/NEWSITE/index.php Here is my HTML code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Stacy Kaiser</title> <link href="includes/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="leftside"> <div class="hr"><img src="images/hr.jpg" style="margin-top: 30px; margin-botton: 0px;" /></div> <h1>Biography</h1> <img src="images/bio_headshot.jpg" class="fleft" /> <p>Stacy Kaiser is a successful Southern California based licensed psychotherapist, relationship expert and media personality.

    Hello - I'm still very much new to AJAX and jQuery. I'm pretty proficient in PHP. Anyway, what I'm trying to do (wildly unsuccessfully) is this... A user clicks a link, and a little popup window appears (using jQuery's thickbox - http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/). In that popup window is just one text input box (in a form named "form") and a submit button. That all works fine. But now I need to get that text input submitted to a mysql database. I've done countless applications using only PHP to submit forms to mysql databases, so I'm quite sure that my mysql code is correct (because it's so simple). But I'm not sure if my methods need to change (since I am kind of using jQuery/AJAX now), because the data is not submitting. I'm not getting errors, per se, but it's just not submitting. Also, after the form is submitted successfully I'd ideally like the user to either: A) Stay in the popup window with a message saying "thank you!" and a button to close the popup OR B) Be taken back to the screen where they originally clicked the link to open the popup, which would now have a "thank you for submitting!" type message. I can't get that to happen either. Basically when I click "submit", the page changes to the popup window (but in a full screen now - like, it just goes to that page in a full browser window), and nothing gets submitted. Here's what my <form> tag is (this is probably wrong): <form action="pop_add.php?height=250&width=350&modal=true" class="thickbox" method="POST" name="form"> In the above, "pop_add.php" is the page that contains all the popup code (the HTML form, PHP/MySQL submittal code, etc). Also, in the <head> of that same page I put the following alert (for testing), and I'm getting the results that I expect with that: <script type="text/javascript"> $("form.thickbox").submit(function() { alert("beep: " + this.action); var t = this.title || this.name || null; var g = this.rel || false; TB_show(t,this.action,g); this.blur(); return true; }); </script> (alerts "beep: pop_add.php?height=250&width=350&modal=true") Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to be detailed. I'll shut up now, but if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated!!!
  11. ShootingBlanks
    Got it! I found something called "thickbox" that seemed to work. Thanks for the help! Now to figure out how to get this thing submitted properly!
  12. ShootingBlanks
    Much of this may just be my limited novice knowledge of jQuery. Basically, from what I can tell they use this as an example: $(document).ready(function() { var $dialog = $('<div></div>') .html('This dialog will show every time!') .dialog({ autoOpen: false, title: 'Basic Dialog' }); $('#opener').click(function() { $dialog.dialog('open'); }); }); That gives a popup that has a div that says "This dialog will show everytime!". I don't want a div, though. I want a whole other page to show up (the page with the form). Or, is that stupid? Should I just have the form on the same page in a div? Anyway, using the code above I can get the dialog box to pop up, but I can't integrate that "modal" code to have the fading in the background. Thanks!
  13. ShootingBlanks
    Thanks! I think that's what I'm looking for. Well, particularly this: http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#modal-form. But the documentation for doing that is pretty bad. It shows that example, but doesn't really explain it or even show how to associate it with a link/button. I copied/pasted the example code onto a page, and all the HTML of the popup form just showed on the page (flat - not popped up or anything).
  14. ShootingBlanks
    Hello. I'm wondering how to make it so that when a user clicks a link, that link will open a kind of "on-screen popup window" (I say "on-screen" because I want it to sort of overlay the current window contents - and even ideally sort of "fade out" the original page's contents in the background like you may have seen on some sites, but that's not a necessity). The window would have an input box with a "SUBMIT" button that would feed the input text to a database. There would also be a "CANCEL" button to close the popup window. Because the input text would feed to a database, and the database table that it feeds to would be dependent on the link that was clicked to open the popup window, I would need the on-screen link that initiates the popup window to pass a variable to it. I'm thinking jQuery can accomplish this somehow, but I'm way too novice to get this going on my own, so I'm looking for some startup help. I wouldn't need any help with the database insert code. Just with getting the popup window open and pulling in a variable from a clicked link. Thanks so much for any help that can be offered to get me going on this!!!
  15. ShootingBlanks
    Oh - I had no idea about any of this! How can I rectify what I've done, then? Should I just unzip the whole 5.3 package into the "php5" folder and start over, just not doing anything with any of the .dll files? Yeah - I did that.
