Okay I don't think my organisation of this was the best way to do it but here is my problem. I have a MySQL table which lists of load of 'pages'. (My website is CMS based and each row is a page.) I have two types of pages. Main or Child. Child pages have a Parent (which is one of the main pages). You can probably see how this is going. I have a navigation that lists all the 'main' pages and when you mouseover it you see a dropdown of sub-pages (all the child pages for that parent page) I would like to create some sort of tool in the CMS Cp that allows the admin to drag and drop the pages so they are displayed in a certain order. I've tried ordering them by ID but it gets too confusing when switching orders and switching IDs. Hopefully you will understand this and somebody has had this problem before? - Thanks in advance!

AlexWD Thanks, I thought I did? I'll have to check... EDIT: Yes, I have...

AlexWD Thank you so much!!! However, your script doesn't work completely because a fatal error is returned. Fatal error: 'http://thewalkingtree.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/children-1.jpg' is not a valid image resource on line 11 [/home/www/byrom.freehostia.com/smclc/image.php] line 11 is: $image = new Image('http://thewalkingtree.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/children-1.jpg');

Thanks, I've had a bit of a brainwave... all the scripts to similar things to what I want but I can't seem to find one myself, looks like I'm going to have to hard code it... Thanks anyway !

Hey! Well I have a little dilema, hoping I could find some guidance. I have a CMS and on the actual website I am building I have a nice little slideshow script that runs through all the images in a certain directory. The dimensions of the slideshow are 900x250. (Obviously not all images come in this size straight from the camera so I need a little resize crop and save script to do this for the user) I would like the 'admin' to be able to upload an image (or more than one at the same time, if it's not much more hard work) and then PHP simply takes over from there. At which point the images would be resized to 900px in width (keeping the aspect ratio) and then cropped to take the middle 250px out. then this image is saved in "images/slideshow" as a 900x250 pixel image? The format it is saved in isn't that much of a problem. Thanks a lot in advance! Any guidance is appreciated! For example, this image: http://thewalkingtree.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/children-1.jpg Would become: http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/4315/kidsl.png

Okay well I am trying to make a 'dynamic' calender image with PHP. I have images like this: and: Obv I have an image for each day of the month (1 - 31) and I have images for each month. if i created a file named, cal.php i want to be able to use that in an img tag and it will mix two images together (month with day below it) and will show today's date. Any guidance, links to tutorials etc? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks, and like you said it's only for simple stuff (like the date!) Plus, the only people able to edit the content is the site admins so they can destroy their site if they wish... Thanks alot!

whaaaaaat an idiot. Thank you so much!!

Hey, right I wouldn't say I'm a complete beginner but I'm definitely not the best. I am making a website, with a fairly basic CMS. Each page is stored in a row in a table (shown below) id name content 1 Home <b>HELLO</b> there <u>welcome</u> to the site. 2 About us <b>HELLO</b> there <u>welcome</u> to the about bit. hopefully you can understand how the basic principles work, by going to mywebsite.com?id=1 you would see the first 'page'. mywebsite.com?id=2 would give you the second 'page' and so on... Plus, the html stored in the database has all the characters converted as you can see. Using html_entity_decode i convert all these characters back. Right, here is my problem. I want to have some PHP code mixed in with the HTML stored in the database. I have looked at eval but that appears to just handle PHP code, not PHP and HTML? Unless I am mistaken... Here is the actual code I have (including PHP) <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"><table border="0" align="left" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" background="images/qouteback.gif" width="260" height="165" style="background-repeat: no-repeat; top: 5px; left:5px;"> <tr> <td width="229" align="left" valign="top"><table width="52" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" height="5"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><div class="newsCal"> <div class="newsCalMonth"> <?php $month = date("M"); $day = date("d"); echo $month; ?> </div> <div class="newsCalDay"><?php echo $day; ?></div> </div></td> </tr> </table> <font size="+1"><u>New Website!</u></font><br /> We'd like to welcome you to the brand new website we have. Hopefully you will find the site easier to use and more informative.<br /> <br /> There have been lots and <strong>lots</strong> of changes so let's hope they were for the best!</td> </tr> </table></td> <td><div style="text-align:justify;"> A City Learning Centre's purpose is to promote and develop new and exciting ways of learning through the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

Okay well I have no idea about this so I could sound really stupid or really inquisitive but here goes... Obviously, in PHP you can pass a variable by using "doman.com?name=robert" then get that by saying $_GET["name"]; But, I have noticed some websites use, what looks like, folders and that seems to be some sort of variable passing? I am assuming this is PHP... how and why do people do this? A good example is GoolyMyWay.. http://googlemyway.com/PHP http://googlemyway.com/Frogs http://googlemyway.com/Hello http://googlemyway.com/Joe http://googlemyway.com/Bloggs Now, it isn't possible that they made folders for every single one so, how is this done and why? Thanks...

Okay well I have a bit of a problem... it's not major but it's enough to annoy a perfectionist. On my website I have set up a table (100% wide) with three columns in, the middle column is 700px wide. (I presumed this would balance out the two side columns placing the middle column in dead center. It does(ish). I am guessing this might be a way that is frowned upon but, I am thinking of adding extra little bits of info in them outside columns later on... In safari (my main browser) it works fine and places it exactly however, in firefox (on mac) there is a slight one pixel nudge to the right which stands out significantly. (In fact, it was the first thing I noticed!) The background image is obviously the problem but this seems like the only route as I have found this error half way down the line and I do not want to go back and do a load of HTML code editing! Screenshots below: Firefox: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/5249/picture7mfq.png Safari: http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/4269/picture6kpd.png Is there any possible fix to this solution? Only logged in users can see this page so I could store a users screen width in a $_SESSION variable using PHP and then adjust this on each page? Just an idea I thought of but I doubt... any help is highly appreciated!!!!!! P.S: I have not tested in IE yet... I will in a minute... UPDATE //////////////////////////////// I just tested it in Firefox on Windows Vista.... there was no problem. And as for Internet Explorer.. everything is fine..

Well I read everywhere MD5 is some super safe way on encrypting data and it is virtually impossible to decrypt... http://www.md5decrypter.com/ How is it still secure? Just out of curiosity...

I have a user system that works fine and I have a couple of PHP pages that handle registration... my only problem is I want to use flash. I have Adobe Master Collection so I have Flash and the 3459873485 other programs that ship with it... I also know a little about it.. I would like basically a tutorial that explains how to retrieve information, check that information with what the user has entered (to check if a username already exists for example) and then if not, insert that information into a MySQL table. P.S: I have just noticed, I use MD5 encryption... does flash even offer a form of MD5 encryption?

Thanks, the only problem is it doesnt tell me how to do it.. it's just teasing me. I'm trying to copy the source but it doesn't look good...

Thanks! I added a hidden field named go and changed the value to editAbout... same principle.. guess it works better. Thanks for the help!
