I agree with the above poster that storing the url is a much better way of doing it.

Not sure if this will quite fit your needs but have you tried fireftp plugin for firefox. You can set up diferent ftp accounts and define which local folders to upload from.

I think this may be what you are after

I couldn't find a suitable forum for this so I have placed it here, sorry if this is wrong. Does anyone know where and how I can buy mobile phone games for re sell. Links and advice would be nice thanks.

Have a look at these two editors. tinymce fckeditor Those give you something similar to the editor you used to edit your post and you can customise the number of buttons shown etc.

One point I would make there also is learn the difference between standard ansi C++ and the little extra bits that creating programs through a windows IDE give you. On the whole an IDE that has project templates for a win32 application and then includes <windows.h> & <stdafx.h> (or whatever it is) is linking you to windows libs that are not part of the C++ standard. The same with the whole way that the winmain() method is created. On your windows machine it makes your programs simpler and getting a windowed application simpler but just be aware that this is not a part of C++. There are other ways of creating windowed apps and depending on where you end up working you may need to know the difference.

If I were you I would learn C++ and as you go along you will have learnt most of what you need to program in C if you ever need to. Most tutorials you come across will explain that C++ is an extension of the C language adding object orientation and generics to the language. The C libs are contained in the C++ library but with a C in front of their names such as <math> in a C program and <cmath> in a C++ program. So from learning C++ you will have a fairly good grasp of what is available in C also.

I think your problem may be that if you create a vhost your default host disappears. You will need to redefine the default one as a vhost also. I do something similar but with the Drupal cms so that I can create different sites on the same server through different domains but use the same code base. Don't know what OS you are on but I have Gentoo which sets up a vhost by default otherwise I would have had the same problem as you. Try redefining your default localhost (I assume) as a vhost to see if it comes back.

I am going to look into that thanks.

I have also used mysql, php, apache combinations on a usb drive. Installing the whole shebang has usually required at least a 1gb stick. The biggest problem I had was that different windows computers will map the stick to different drive letters, E:, F: etc. I found that easyphp was a good solution to this as it changes to the current drive letter when you start it up. Otherwise it can be a pain to go into the config files and change paths depending on the drive letter. It is based on wamp which I have also found very useful when working on windows computers.

opensourcecms is a good place to find a few.

Go for it you won't be disappointed. At first I would dual boot so that if you have something to be done immediately you can fall back to your comfortable Windows system where you know how everything works. After a while of using it you will find yourself doing that less and less. It is a good idea to learn the skills you will require to maintain your server in a safe environment. Once you have got used to the system you will also start looking at programs that run natively like Bluefish and the Gimp so that you do not have to mess around with Wine. Bluefish is a very good replacement for Dreamweaver but a lot of photoshop users do not like the Gimp at all. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the complexity of a Linux system in that you will probably find it quite useable. You will probably want to learn some command line skills though as I doubt your server has an X server installed. Good luck.

You use .htaccess to turn the clean one into the real one. mod_rewrite

Get screengrab plugin for firefox.

Have a look at CodeIgnitor which is a framework that gives you a MVC pattern to use. I know you didn't ask for this but using this framework really helped me to understand what the mvc is and how to use it. The separation of the three parts (Model, View & Controller) is really useful but I have also found that the model and controller can be blurred together quite easily but it is extremely useful to keep the view separate. If you haven't kept the view separate you will sooner or later come across a situation where some logic you are executing requires some setting to be made that you have past the point of doing. Say a script tag in the head section but you have already processed that part and can't put it there now. With an mvc all the logic for the page has been done before you start outputting the page itself so things like this become easier. There are many ways of implementing this pattern and purists would say that you must have all three elements to call it mvc. I say that you have the general idea if you are separating the view. In my case I have controllers for a member and another one for games (flash game site). The game controller also acts as the model but the member has a separate model file to handle logic so I have blurred the separation with the game controller/model but kept the separation for the member. Why? complexity of what I am doing in both cases. The game controller only has three entry points and just does some simple database queries so I haven't created a model for that and do it in the controller. The member functionality is larger and is more than just querying the db so I have created a model to accompany it. Hope this helps in some way.
