    Could my php be making my html invalid?

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I am having trouble getting this page to validate. Would any of you mind taking a look at it and giving me some very very basic advice?

    I am very new to php code so i'm easily confused lol.

     

    I have just been pasting my code into here

     

    http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input

     

    Alot of the errors look like they are from the php tags and the body and html tags are in the footer so thats why they are showing up.

    You try it out here

        </tr>
        
    <?

// now you are connected and can query the database
$request = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM common_traits

    Please correct me if i'm wrong but i think my next step in the project is to create a form that will submit data to my database so that I have something to search?

     

    I need to add a all of the database field values for genus there are a lot for them. I think about 113 give or take

     

    in this pic I have 4 of them added already.

     

    fv.jpg

     

    I know there is a way to past them into my sql and submit them all at one time but I don't know the format. What I would like to do is creat the file in a .txt file and then copy and past it to the database once its all compiled.

     

    Is there any way you can give me any example of the code I would need to submit that to the database?

     

    I have also added a species field that will be typed in by my users when they submit a new species into the database. but before I start doing all this I just wanted to check and make sure it was necessary.

     

    Just to explain how the submission form will work you select a genus from the drop down then type in the species name in the text box. Click one of each of the bullet points and click the tarantula submission button.

     

    This is the submission form

     

    I want that to create a new tarantula in my database under the selected genus. Is this adding up?

     

    Thanks so much for all the help and advice.

    This is kinda what I have been playing around with for php If this is working I can see how it works a little.

     

    I haven't been able to get connected to the database I did find out that to make a table I go into my cpanel then into phpmyadmin. I made a table with 1 feild but I don't understand what format I need to use.

     

    Will i have 1 table for each spider or will i have 1 table called Tarantula with 1 field called Housing and so one like this.

     

    Table called Tarantula

>Housing
>>>>>>>>Arboreal
>>>>>>>>Terrestrial

    This is a little background on what my goal is.

     

    I have been trying deferent search engines from here for my Tarantula website and I haven't really come up with anything for the search function it just needs to allow users search by all or any of these options.

     

    1. Scientific Names = genus + species----------Will be added over time

    2. Genus = 100+ different tarantulas-----------Can be added upfront but may need to change or add to over time

    3. Species = 800+ different species------------Will be added over time

    There are 800+ different types of Tarantulas and 99% of the time, you decided you want a big one or a small one or a blue one or a extra harry one before you find out what Tarantulas actually have those traits. I would like my site to be a place where you can search for blue and find all the Tarantulas that are tagged as blue. You could mix and match and search to find all the blue Tarantulas that are Old World and so on.

     

    I also need a system that will allow users to submit Tarantulas to my website using their scientific names along with any other information or pictures they have. There also must be a way for me/admin to approve/deny/edit all the submission before they are posted into the site or made search able. So there will need to be some type of admin login panel that will allow me/admin to be the only ones able to approve/deny/edit the submission.

     

    There must also be some way to upload images and data about the Tarantulas that are already existing in the site. I also need to be able to have a good looking results page.

     

     

    Well you've got to start some where right?  ;D Please forgive me for the following vague questions but being a beginner its really be a challenge to explain everything I need the search function to do.

     

    I would really appreciate it if you guys would be so kind as to help me figure out what sets of code/database or program will allow me to accomplish this?

     

    My most important question is how a beginner should go about starting a project like this?

     

    I was advised to check out regex, php, mysql, and ASP (I think it only works on windows server and mine is on a Linux) ???

     

    This is a link to my site. The only thing I care to keep is the design the form's not connected to anything and for all I know I'll never need them but I made them just to give myself an idea of what I thought it would look like.

    Thank you all so much for trying to get me started on the right path.

    I haven't started building the page yet I know html and css but thats about it. This will be my first attempt at learning php.

     

    I know of a page that has the kinda tag system I want, it even shows the most popular searches. I just don't know the name of it or how to recreate it on my site. The down side is that its an adult site. If you want to take a look at it shoot me a pm

    Well I have been trying deferent search engines from here http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Searching/Searching_Your_Web_Site/ for my Tarantula database and I haven't really come up with anything that will allow me to submit Tarantulas to my web page using their scientific names and also allow them to be search able by color, size, housing type, old world, new world, humidity, male, female and/or anything else I would want to search them by.

    Can you guys tell me if there is anything already out that fits the bill that I should look into?

     

    If not I'v been given this link http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/ Is it a good place to start? I really don't know anything at all about php or mysql.

     

     

    Thanks so much for all the advice

    Up for a challenge? Multi font sizes for 1 block of text on different fonts.

    in CSS Help

    Posted

    I think I have a tough one.

     

    In dreamweaver I have the option to pick more than one font so that I make sure any user that views my page will use one of the fonts. I guess the browsers check to see if the user has the first font in my list and if they don't it checks to see if they have the 2nd in my list and so on.

     

    I can't get this to work my dreamweaver. I am trying to make the same block of text have different sizes depending on if the user has the first text or not.

     

    Like for example

     

    My pc has Text1 and Text2 but not very many people have Text1 but everyone has Text2

     

    At 100% Text1 is this size

     

    Text1Text1Text1Text1Text1Text1Text1

     

    and at 100% Text2 is this size

     

    Text2Text2Text2Text2Text2Text2Text2

     

    So what I am trying to do is set Text1 to 170% so that everyone one who has Text1 on there pc can see it at a large enough size but in doing this it also sets Text2 to 170% which makes it way way to large. It's the same paragraph. The only reason anyone would ever see Text2 is if they don't have text one.

     

    I can only test this in dreamweaver without uninstalling and reinstalling fonts. If you look at my site and the text is normal size and matches my images you are looking at chiller. If you look at my site and the text is HUGE and doesnt match anything then you don't have chiller. I would like to make that really huge text smaller and look better on my page for you :D

     

    Do you guys have any ideas on how this could be done?

    How to add alt text to css rollover images?

    in HTML Help

    Posted

    It used to be alt text that I needed but not that the images for my links are in the css nothing shows up when images are disabled.

     

    If you use a text only browser you cant hear any of my links because when the images are turned off nothing displays.

     

    I can still click the links if i know where they are but there is know way to tell what link I am clicking. It only matters to blind users and I have no clue if I will have any but I don't want one to come along and never make it off my home page.

     

    This text doest not need to display unless the images are disabled.

     

    Any ideas?
