Hi, I'm stupid and have no clue whats going on, I just want all of you to do all of my work for me. Don't bother asking me to research anything or assuming that I know anything about php. I'll tell you now I do not know anything about php. Maybe one day I will grow up to be just like darkwater but chances are I will never accomplish such a great feat. I wish I wasn't such a 'prick' but I apparently cannot help myself.. I also like to go around to random forums and ask questions then be an arsehole to everyone there. I don't know why I do this I just do. I guess thats just the kinda person I am. Which if you ask me isn't a very good person. I hate myself. I wish I would just die. Its too bad I'm not as cool as darkwater. Then I guess I would have good reason to live. Darkwater is so awesome. He's like the most wonderful person I've ever spoken with ever. He's like a php genius and knows everything about php. I do not. I know nothing about php. Its probably because I'm lazy and stupid and I can't read. He however can read very well and he is not stupid. If only I was darkwater... :'( So where can I start learning php so I can be as good as darkwater? thanks, ~ag3nt42

yea, Thanks, akitchin. =/

thanks again rev

wtf ever.. i'm not coming here anymore if this is how its gona be.. I've done nothing but be nice to ppl and this arse dark comes and starts being a prick to me and all of sudden i'm the bad guy.. w/e

everyone else that helps me I thank because they don't sit there and say things the way dark does.. and I'm tired of his respones.. everything he says to me, he says with some notion that I'm retarded and never research things before I ask questions. personaly I think i'll be better off he just doesn't respond to my posts. @discomatt I have no reason to be upset with you but this has nothing to do with you.. if he was to just say: PHP has a built-in ZipArchive class. thats fine.. I have no problems but when he adds the smartarsed "Look it up." that to me implies he thinks i'm too stupid to figure out I should "Look Stuff up" before I post. and that is being a "Jerk" in his words

omg dude don't respond to me anymore if your gona say stupid crap like that.. I DID look it up smartarse if you READ the page you might see that it says nothing about CREATING a zip does it @revraz and vicodin - Thanks for you responses they were helpful tho I did read the page at w3 vic

You might be better off using a text file to do this rather then in a database.. point being because.. if your storing it in a database then the only way to retrieve it is by putting the DB value into a variable hense screwing up the whole idea of it in the first place.. if you use a txt file instead you can simply read in the lines from the text file.. well i spose it would work best this way with the .php extension instead of .txt but the theory is still the same.. then include these. When you need to update.. you can either write some functions to read the file line by line and change things..or you can simply use the already setup variables residing inside the file and recreate the whole thing. otherwise whats the sense in creating a variable to hold a variable? TEXTFILE.txt: $Week1_Q1_Winner = $NameVariable;

Hello all, Just wondering if its possible to create a .zip file in php.. Like say I have a list of 5 files.. that I want to give to a user to download.. He chooses 3 of those files.. How could I then "Zip" those files up so I can serve up the download? thanks for your responses, ~ag3nt42

lol

thats just what I thought you'd say.. :-\

sure you can.

its not always what you say man its how you say it and if you want to get "makes sense" on it.. then yes it DOES make sense cuz i'm not updating any information.. I'm INSERTING brand new information.

dark.. I like the fact that you try to be helpful.. but I can't stand how arrogant you are about it.. really irritating.

i spose i could use update.. but i'm not updating anything

thats how it is in the DB and my DB wants me to use it.. also your sposed to be able to use a WHERE in insert statements \/ http://www.sql-tutorial.com/sql-where-sql-tutorial/ The WHERE keyword can be used to insert, update and delete data from table(s

can anyone tell me what is wrong with this query <?php $Inject[$y]="INSERT INTO [ClientsEmails] WHERE CompanyName='".$Company[$y]."' (username, password) VALUES ('".$username[$y]."','".$password[$y]."')"; ?> keep getting error saying syntax error near WHERE on line /\(that line)

See but thats what I'm saying tho.. if thats the case why isn't it in the explanation? I get the feeling everyones like "DUH! IDIOT" But yet stuff like this never gets explained.

Sooo your saying if.. I was to say nl2br(' Something or other this. And then something or other that. '); the above would not work?

well then they shouldn't put it in the examples.. cuz its just confusing.

well i guess really all it needs to do is keep the file exactly as the user wrote it. hold line breaks and spaces. the nl2br() is working without \n well thanks guys.. i guess this will just have to do and I'll have to make up some bbcode or something... quick question how would I do the thing where, like on these forums, you could highlight a string of words then click on the bbcode button and it wraps tags around it... how can I do that?

nice dark.. so get_contents($FILE); format_for_web($FILE); right?

I don't know I know i've tried before to get something like this to work and it never looks right on the page.. I mean I have people who have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how to code for the web.. basic HTML So my only option for them is to let them make a .txt file and drop it into a folder which then I'll have to have code setup to format it and paste it to the web. the nl2br() function won't work because you have to enter in \n for your line breaks. they do not want to have to do ANY coding.

Hello all, I've got a need to build a web app that will automatically format txt from a txt file.. I'm just wondering if there is already something out there that does this or if somone thinks this cannot be done.. Thanks for your thoughts, ~ag3nt42

how do you know that the people who DO have access arn't just putting it up for DL somewhere else?
