Hey all!. I was wondering if there was a way to process information from major websites using php? It seems I am running into issues. Here is what I am trying to do: I need to pull the full list of companies from pinksheets.com that are listed on the exchanges. I can download the list via XLS format, but I need to do this for all the exchange websites such as nasdaq etc. Is there a way to do this where I can comb for the information such as CEO name, ticker , company name and any companies that get taken off or added to the list? The lists I am already talking about are on the sites I mentioned and you can look them up but I am adding 40,000+ companies to my site it manually entering them would be a huge issue,. Do any of you have any fixes? Sorry if this is in the wrong section. Thanks!. Smash.

Hi All. I am putting a mock up of a project that I need done, so the mock up will be the best way to do so in my case. I have Header @ top. Left sidebar area (that has links) and a right sidebar area with links. When you click on these links either on the elft or right... I want the middle area to change only with the info instaed of the whole page. How would I go about doing this? Thanks.

Hi everyone! This I hope is in the correct spot. I have a few choices here and was hoping some of you php coders could chime in. I am looking to build a forum among other php projects for my personal use. however I don't know exactly where to start. I know HTML, CSS and limited php. I would like to learn php from the ground up so i can do these things on my own instead of paying someone thousands of dollars to do the work. How should I go about this? I was thinking a degree would be goos since the GI bill pays for it at no cost to me. I enjoy doing it.... but do I need a degree to get good at it? and where do I start to start making my own projects? I have done a ton of research and it is difficult to grasp. Thoughts? Thanks.

Was curious how everyone starts a HTML project. The basics of any project is index, css and outlying pages. I am wondering if when you start a project, that you build your tables first and then place your information in if that makes any sense. Funny thing is, CSS was cake

right. (I have /tmp in my main directory as well) so if the the tmp folder is in my public_html then how do I set it to save in that directory? Thanks.

ok, before I was getting an error where it said could not write session function something or other. Anyways, I went into the php.ini and changed the session.save_path from C:/tmp to /tmp because I use hostgator now and not my own server. Problem is, the error is gone form the page, but when i look where the session files are saving, they are not in the /tmp folder. Any ideas on how to check this properly to make sure its working? Thanks.

Hello All! I am very new to the php world but I am working on fixing things that a previous programmer screwed up for a site that I have. Let me explain what the current issue is. I believe it had to do with sessions: On my site, I can go to login page and log in with a name I made just fine. If I use an older one, it says that the password or username is wrong, but when I click on boards, im logged in. (weird) On the sign up page, when all the info is plugged in, the page hangs like its looking for something, then 2 min later it logs the person in. Any help, advice or whatever would be appreciated thanks. As we get into this discussion, I will supply code that I have when I figure out why it's not working properly. thanks! Th

I need someone to border in everything on my front page. I am in the army and I dont have much time to code. I am ripping my hair out on this. I just cant get it right!!! If you have skype please add jeffrey montange and will see if you could help me. Thanks so much!

Where do I put that exactly? And I dont understand how I have a open /p with nothing in it. Am I wrong here? Thanks. </style> <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td width="39%" rowspan="6" align="left" valign="top"><p>{{top20}}<br /> </p> <div> <div align="center">{{middlead}}</div> </div> <p>{{featured}}<br /> {{top15}}</p> <p> </p></td> <td align="left" valign="top"><table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="top"><div align="center"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#009900"><span class="psthdr">Interview Schedule</span></td>

if you look at investmentnation.com please you will notice this: My top 20 stock message boards header bar is not lining up even with Interview schedule. I have been tweaking it but cant get it right.. Can someone please explain to me what I need to do to fix this? Thanks!

I know how to put it up on the site, but I can't make it dissapear when not logged in.. Sorry if this sounds dumb

Hello all, I am new to using PHP and I am trying to learn as much as I can so I don't have to pay my coder for simple things lol. Anyways, I am sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I am ripping my hair out. I want a "Interview Room" button to only show when the user is logged in to get to interviews. My last coder has it as "Join Chat" and when I look in the header to find out how he did it it only shows as {{Join Chat}} and I can't find where that is anywhere on my site lol. Anyways, if someone could please help it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
