No you don't need a header in this case.

<?php define( "DB_DSN", "xyz"); define( "DB_USERNAME", "username" ); define( "DB_PASSWORD", "password" ); define( "PAGE_SIZE", 10 ); define( "TBL_", "abc" ); ?>

There is no standard format available to store phone numbers. Also there is no max. fixed length. You can use international code along with phone numbers, so phone numbers will always be of variable length. Just use 'VARCHAR' and fix the length according to your application requirement.

use 'SELECT DISTINCT......' query to fetch unique rows.

or just break the long string using 'nl2br' function.

You can achieve this using .htaccess files. To learn more about .htaccess files, follow this link - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html

because local and server configurations could be different. And if something works on local environment, doesn't mean it will work on server environment too. For e.g. your could be using windows locally while the server platform is Linux. Also there could be different versions of PHP and one version may not be compatible for your script.

You have 2 possible solutions - 1) Use IP address to detect the identity. 2) Use cookies.

Minimize the size of your table to fit the size of printer page. Also make use of 'print preview' option to make sure rows don't break out.

Yes it's a good practice. Although your title can be of any length, Google will only read 60 character.

Although you can also use addslashes and stripslashes, using 'mysql_real_escape_string' would also help you prevent any sql injection attempts.

Can you please let us know how did you figure that out ? It would be helpful for others.

Thanks for you valuable insight on the design of our site nrg_alpha, Axeia, waynewex and cs.punk. I've already started working on the shortcomings you guys have highlighted so far. Here's the improvement: 1. The mail culprit of slow page load were the thumbnails. The thumbnail were not the actual thumbnail images and in fact were scaled down from the original images. This was causing the full images to be loaded, hence increased time in page load. I now have proper thumbnail script in place. And only the thumbnail images are fetched were thumbnail images are required to be shown. Furthermore, if you want to see the original images, you can see them in the photo gallery of that member. 2. Alxeia, although there are some inline CSS applied on the site, the actual styling on the 'whole' site is done through external CSS. Though, I've also started working on your suggestion and will clean up the unwanted and inline CSS soon. 3. Regarding the table structure: Well the site has been in development for more than 2 years now, since it is a very big site and when I took over the developement of this site, the basic design structure was already in place and it was hard to change that at the time, so the best thing I can do now is to speed up the table rendering. 4. nrg_alpha, the site is very much optimized for SEO as far the development is concerned. For e.g. the profile page has the URLs: www.buzz2hype.com/parv (no registration required to view the profile page) Blog page: www.buzz2hype.com/blog/billy (registration required to view a blog) Downloads: www.buzz2hype.com/download/games etc... (registration required to download games/ringtones/trutones for you mobile) and several other urls like that. But yes, I need to use the <h1><h2> for my templates and I'll do that surely. Finally, the home page is just the highlighting of the stuffs which you get inside. Please try to review that as well as I believe the design and features are very elegant. Keep you valuable feedback coming guys. It's very helpful.
