[any idea on whats going wrong calling this property?]

There is no $u_name property in this object.

 

Maybe you want something like this:

 

class register{

//Setting up Variables, you can add more, for example EMAIL.

private $_username;
private $_password;

//Giving the variables values
function __construct($u_name, $p_word)
{
    $this->_username = $u_name;
    $this->_password = $p_word;
}

  public function getUsername() {
    return $this->_username;
  }
}

//then

echo $reg->getUsername();

 

[Need best mysql configuration of My.cnf]

key_buffer_size = 64M

Start by increasing that to 512MB-1024M, see what's the effect on your performance (might improve database, but impact negatively on other services)

 

table_cache = 100M

???? do you have 100 million tables in your databse?

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_table_cache

 

key_buffer = 16M

what's that? documentation doesn't mention such variable

 

sort_buffer_size

See here for some tips:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_sort_buffer_size

 

read_buffer_size

Again, this is something you must consider yourself

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_net_buffer_length

 

myisam_sort_buffer_size

This is only used when creating/altering or repairing tables (table indexes specifically). Shoudln't affect normal operation

 

Also consider enabling query cache

Use date function to get current hour. Then you can use different banner when hout is between 6PM and 6AM (night) and different when it's between 6AM and 6PM

 

<?php
$h = date('H');
if($h >= 6 && $h < 18) {
  echo 'display daytime banner';
} else {
  echo 'display nighttime banner';

[Not random enough,know how to improve this random play code ?]

Hi,thanks

 

I know some play more often because i refreshed the page many times to see the results and out of a bank of about 25 videos, the same 3 re-played over way too many times, bad random.

 

Sorry,but until you actually have measured that over several hundreds page loads, I'll remain unconvinced.

['com_exception'. The message filter indicated that the application is busy]

Do you get this every time, or only once in a while?

[Not random enough,know how to improve this random play code ?]

First of all, how do you know some videos are chosen more often than others? Do you have something that counts that and analyzes the frequncies?

[OO mysqli]

Would this do the same?

 

Not really. More like this:

 

class myMySQLiAccess extends mysqli {

  public function __construct($host = null, $username = null, $passwd = null, $dbname = null, $port = null, $socket = null) {
    parent::__construct($host, $username, $passwd, $dbname, $port, $socket);
  }
}

 

if you want to hardcode your access credentials (not really a good idea) it would look like this

 

class myMySQLiAccess extends mysqli {

  public function __construct($host = null, $username = null, $passwd = null, $dbname = null, $port = null, $socket = null) {
    parent::__construct('localhost', 'root', 'password', 'mydatabase');
  }
}

$con = new myMySQLiAccess();

 

closing is done like this

$con->close();

 

but in most cases you can safely let PHP close the connection for you (it does it automatically when script ends, or when the scope of $con is destroyed)

[OO mysqli]

When you use OO interface of mysqli you do

$connection = new mysqli(..);

 

so with more connections you do

$connection1 = new mysqli(...);
$connection2 = new mysqli(...);

 

where $connection1 and $connection2 are MySQLi objects, that 'know' which connection to use.

Unless your DBA tells you otherwise, don't use it.

[Differences in php scripts functionality between 32-bit and 64-bit Win7]

Regarding "File does not begin with '%PDF-'. issue: try opening the pdf in notepad and seeing what it starts with. It's likely a PHP's error message.

2. post actual error messages

 

[MD5]

No problem.

Take special attention to mysql_real_escape_string function. It's there to protect you against SQL injections. Learn how to use it, and use it.

[MD5]

Did I tell you to use $_POST['mypassword']? I guess not. The field in your form has name="password" so you need to use $_POST['password']

 

<?php
//connct to database...

$password = md5($_POST['password']);
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$email= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);

mysql_query("INSERT INTO members (username, password, email) VALUES ('$username', '$password', '$email')");

[MD5]

[edit]

Gah... too sleepy

 

$wagwoord = md5("password"); //this is what I added 

 

should be

 

$wagwoord = md5($_POST['password']); //this is what I added 

 

also make sure a field in database is able to store at least 32 characters (that's how long MD5 hashes are)

[PHP & MySQL joint forum]

One thing PHP lacks is a formal specification of the language. There only is a Zend's implementation, which must be taken as a point of reference by anyone who would like to create their own interpreter. Since this implementation in turns hasn't got a roadmap, or a set of goals to achieve, it's always a moving target.

[PHP & MySQL joint forum]

Also PHP-MSSQL, PHP-Postgres, PHP-Oracle, PHP-SQLite...

No... I can't really see it coming.

 

Just try to decide, if the issue is more on scripting side, or on database side. As a rule of thumb, if your question concerns PHP code, you should ask it in PHP section (even if there's also MySQL involved)

[See results of update query before executing it]

You might have been thinking about transactions (available for InnoDB engine), where you can execute a query, but need to COMMIT it if you want the changes to actually take place, or can ROLLBACK it when something's not right.
