[attempt at not using tables on website]

That blue text is rather large.  I would reccomend using black text unless your are using a black background (then use only white text).  The Big Blue text looks really ... ugh.

 

I agree use 12px for text

 

You have alot of uneeded code at the end of you page

 

</span><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/></div></body></html>

 

You can easily fix this with css

 

Replace the above code with

 

 

</span><div class="bottom_space"></div></div></body></html>

 

And in your css file add

 

.bottom_space {

margin-bottom: 150px;

}

Nice logo.

 

Ive moved away from large logo images....slows the page too much, by using css and small images repeated you can achieve a very fast and sexy site....but its up to you

 

If you have multiple pages you might want to cache the images at least by adding this to .htaccess, you wouldnt believe the speed it increases

 

<FilesMatch "\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|png)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"
</FilesMatch>

 

Your html code is nicely set out but you can halve the code by using css and caching that too with

 

<FilesMatch "\.(css)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=172800, private, proxy-revalidate"
</FilesMatch>

Australia dosnt have too many bad crimes.......cause we dont have guns!

 

You don't need a gun to commit a 'bad crime', which is a relative term anyway.

 

Ppl who suffer from rage are extremely dangerous. Thats why personal guns need to be banned.....i mean buying a gun at wallmart WTF!!

 

How many ppl do you know who flip out over minor shit??

Imagine if this was a gun and not an axe...

[Revenue idea for phpfreaks]

I would not offer help on a paid board, unless I were somehow receiving some of that pay. 

 

Your "pay" would be the recognition. Anyway the amount would/should only cover server expenses and a little profit for phpfreaks owners

[is this legal?]

Dunno how your system works, but your money won't keep you out of a Danish prison.

 

Just to give you an example, in Australia where i am, a pedophile raped over 30+ kids over 5 years and he got 14 years with      parole after 11years. Ivan millat a serial killer, killed 40 ppl and got 20 years.

[how can i rewrite the url]

From my understanding (.*) means the rewrite will accept any type of input (letters, numbers, anything) If you just want letters off the top of my head I think it is ([a-z][A-Z]) but I might be wrong.

 

If you just want index.php to be rewritten to index/ it would be

RewriteRule ^index$ /index.php

 

If you want a trailing slash just change ^index$ to ^index/$

Thanks. A simple example is all i needed

[[SOLVED] lightbox]

echo "<a href=images/applications/\".$info[picname].\" rel=lightbox>";

 

Variable needs to be in <?php ?> tags

[is this legal?]

That depends on where you live. In Denmark you cannot bail out of prison no matter how much money you have.

 

Sounds like one of those countries that jail you for a parking ticket

 

Time to move to Canada - Land of the real Free!

So DUI is okay until you hit someone and kill them?

 

Thats for idiots! Rich ppl wouldnt be stupid enough to do that - except paris

 

I have a couple of rich friends and they do/have done stuff that would have commoners behind bars

 

Being rich == Freedom

[Revenue idea for phpfreaks]

Im using a points mod in my forums where users have to post/reply to topics to see attachments - helps expand new forums rapidly.

 

It can also be modified through paypal so ppl have to pay to see content.

 

Anyhow, considering phpfreaks forums is desperate for funds, and are now big enough to charge ppl for answers to thier problems, say only in help forums like php,mysql, etc. You could make a "solved question" to cost the user 50cents or whatever

 

Capitalization RULZ!!

[is this legal?]

everythings legal if your rich!

 

but seriously, who cares...have a contact form so authors can ask you to remove their content. itll only become an issue if your website becomes big enough for ppl to complain

 

95% of the shit ppl worry about neva comes true....so why worry about shit

[What is your webdev New Year's Resolution?]

There is no such thing as .htaccess coding. It's just a configuration file.

 

Figure of speech.....its all coding in my opinion.

[deleting selected items]

This is mysql command:

 

mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("dbname") or die(mysql_error());

// Delete row where 15 from the "example" MySQL table
mysql_query("DELETE FROM example WHERE anything='15'") 
or die(mysql_error()); 

echo "cool! all done";

 

Give me a table name and column names and ill adjust this for u

[What is your webdev New Year's Resolution?]

2) Since I am not very knowledgable in MySQL nor how PHP interacts with it, I want to learn that as well.

 

its friggin easy. if youve learnt .htaccess coding youll know what i mean, its about as "hard" as that

 

....for me my 2009 resolution is to FINALLY learn ajax......making me a full programming guru!

[PHP HACKIN ?? what the!]

Is there such a thing as php hacking...never heard of it!

 

And using php to affect a database isnt php hacking its DATABASE HACKING duhhhhhhhhh!!

[7am EVERY F&*%ING DAY!!]

Guy i used to know keep coming around my house at 7am EVERY F&*%ING DAY!!

 

Knocks on my bedroom window to "chat" about crap, its really pissing me off.....but i cant tell him to rack off cause he let me store my furniture in his shed till my house was built.

 

I know hes just bored....but im gonna flip out if he keeps buggin me like this!!!!!!!!!!

[AJAX AHHH YES...]

Ajax ahhh yes, my last language ive yet to learn....

 

 

 

[SEO is boring]

SEO IS BORING!! Its so yesterday.

 

You want top rankings its simple:

 

Create a dynamic website (content that is changing all the time - thats CONTENT CHANGING not page changing) by rotating it with cron.

 

*Also if your domain name has been registered less so many months google will give u shit ranking no matter what - glad all mine are more than a year old

[Go back to any page *TIP]

Um, okay . . .

 

That's a pretty well known JavaScript function. You can also go forward in the browser history using a positive integer (assuming the user, or javascript, has gone back in the history)

 

yeah. i was using php code to tell where the user came from.....this is simpler though

[Go back to any page *TIP]

Just wanted to share the best javascript for page history return.

 

A lovely and simple line anyone can remember:

 

<a href="javascript:history.go(-1);">previous page</a>

 

You can set this to return to any page the user has previously browsed set "(-1)" to how far back you want the hyperlink to take you

 

 

[INSERT INTO]

Im trying to seperate the 2 tables just in case i screw something up.

 

Once i have the info in example2 table i can use another script to work of that table instead of the example table.

 

Of course example2 table will have extra columns so this will make it easier when writing scripts

 

I scrapped this idea and just addedd the extra columns to the original table

[INSERT INTO]

I have 100 rows in column1, how can i make this transfer all rows over instead of just one.

What are you trying to accomplish???

[INSERT INTO]

mysql_query("INSERT INTO example_2
(column1, column2) VALUES($row['column1'], $row['column2']) ") 

I think it's a problem with your $row['column1/2']; mysql values need to be in quotes.

 

mysql_query("INSERT INTO example_2 (column1, column2)
VALUES 
('".$row['column1']."', '".$row['column2']."'));

 

Thanks that was it!

 

Can i ask one more question about the same script...

 

I have 100 rows in column1, how can i make this transfer all rows over instead of just one.

 

Ive tried the while command but no luck:

 

mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("dbname") or die(mysql_error());

// Retrieve all the data from the "example" table
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM example")
or die(mysql_error());

echo "ok";

// store the record of the "example" table into $row
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{

mysql_query("INSERT INTO example_2 (column1, column2)
VALUES 
('".$row['column1']."', '".$row['column2']."'));
or die(mysql_error());

}

echo "ok2";

[INSERT INTO]

im just learning mysql and im trying to use variables in the "INSERT INTO" command

 

can anyone tell me what im doing wrong here:

 

mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("dbname") or die(mysql_error());

// Retrieve all the data from the "example" table
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM example")
or die(mysql_error());

echo "ok";

// store the record of the "example" table into $row
$row = mysql_fetch_array( $result );

mysql_query("INSERT INTO example_2 
(column1, column2) VALUES($row['column1'], $row['column2']) ") 
or die(mysql_error());

echo "ok 2";

 

Im basically just transferring:

 

Table: example
Columns: column1 and column2

TO:

Table: example2
Columns: column1 and column2

 

any help would be appreciated......

[SImple solution....]

Thanks for the help...

 

I want to take it a step further and add ifelse, i feel like im close but still chasing my tail

 

Heres what ive got so far:

 

$days = 2;
$hours = 0;
$minuets = 4:

if ($days == 0) {
  echo 'Added '.$hours.' hours and '.$minutes.' minuets ago'; 
} else {
echo 'Added '.$days.' Days ago';
} elseif ($hours == 0) {
  echo 'none'; 
} else { 
echo 'Added '.$hours.' Hours ago';
}

 

My goal is to make it so if there is "0" in any of the variables only the variables with 1 or more will display in a message
