go ask microsoft. windows wouldn't be without dos. Maybe they don't 'develope' it any more because it does everything they need from it. Maybe they'll take up the developement again at a later date. Do you believe them? If you do, then you believe that windows XP was and still is the best way to access the web and to do all the things you do on a daily basis with total security in mind. But hey, they said that about Vista and again about 7. They also said that the new windows virus scanner is the first ever in their systems. Check out DOS 6.11 Sounds to me like you all believe Gates' lies. Too bad you haven't the years behind you to see what's really happening. But then, the blind lead the blind. Go into an XP machine. Delete all the DOS files you can find, if you can! Try rebooting the machine. YOU CAN'T!

try running a win95 program in xp. Sorry, wrong dos!

Frow where does the NT come? Where did Gates begin? What language did Gates study and drop from? Do your own research. Even NT comes from its humble beginnings in DOS. check out system32 remove the files and see if windows continues or crashes to the usual halt!

NOPE! DOS is a new format of UNIX, ........ FOOL! Maybe 'derivative' would be a better word.

try xcopy try mem try move try format try any dos command I'll wonder if this will prove to be the most visited thread in the history of the site.

Thorpe. Think of it this way. When you were being born, I was entering my first classes in computer science. You may be a fine programmer but knowing what to do in PHP won't make you a Dr. in computer science and won't give you all the background into the evolution of computers since thier outset. I don't scoff at you or your abilities but in this case, do a little research. Check out what I've said and let the evidence speak for itself. I too am not a Dr. in this game. My brother is. I too wouldn't have believed it but the proof is in system32. Like you said, "'nough said!"

go find a widows computer. try what I suggested above. You'll find all the old DOS files in system32 Windows won't exist without DOS. Ask MicroSoft! I too prefer Linux. Far better system but if you believe everything Gates tells us, you'll be hacked, virused and off line each time you log on. Windows is rubbish but why? It all comes down to the incompatabilities of the shell running in DOS! So they modify DOS and the shell to find something else goes haywire. Go on! I dare you! Go find a win system and check out windows/system32. IT IS DOS!

go to your command prompt in any windows version. type dir and press enter DOS! Go to your c:/ list all the files in windows/system32 DOS! You young pups know everything but in reality, you don't know a lot! Oh, by the way. I'm doing all this in XP. If you want PHP to run in dos, do it under apache for windows (DOS)!

do your homework. Windows is dos is windows. Windows is the shell for DOS. Windows is what made DOS so darned popular. Without windows, DOS would probably died the death same as DrDOS and all the others. Now we're talking history, facts! Run the windows terminal and you'll need to know your DOS commands. Windows is nothing without DOS.

Don't be so silly! There's a bin version of Apache to run under DOS. Been there, done it, didn't like it, etc etc .... Win32 is DOS in a shell. Get it here ..... http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/README.html ................ and he calls himself a PHP Freak !?!

Email Probs? Look up the posts by chauffeur. I put up a complete working scrip in the last 2 weeks. Search things out before asking the 'same old' again and again please.

"he will be a Rooster due to Japanese Horo, and a Capricorn for Zodiac"?????? Get it right before you start! Rooster = Chinese = Zodiac Capricorn = Western = Horoscope or Sun Sign

Use $_getdate and use it to auto-fill the field 'if' left blank ("");

What the heck? Here, have it! Make it work. while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($select)) { $birthdate = $row["birthdate"]; $seperate_date = explode("/", $birthdate); //Seperate Bday into seperates and remove the / $day = $seperate_date[0]; //Seperate Birth DAY $month = $seperate_date[1]; //Seperate Birth MONTH $year = $seperate_date[2]; //Seperate Birth YEAR $day_count = strlen($day); $month_count = strlen($month); if($day_count==1){$day = sprintf("%02d", $day);} if($month_count==1){$month = sprintf("%02d", $month);} $chinese_format = "$year$month$day"; //Combine into format yyyymmdd } $lunar_file = "../java/year.txt"; #for ease only. Set it up as you want. alter the file at your peril! $year = file($lunar_file); #puts file into array for($x=1;$x<count($year);$x++){ #loops through the array $data = explode("=", $year[$x]); $date = explode("|", $data[1]); if(isset($date[0]) AND isset($date[1])){#looks for two dates to match with or between if($chinese_format>=$date[0] AND $chinese_format<=$date[1]){ $sign = $data[0]; #stores star-sign only. This is passed to chris' site } } } if(file_exists('http://horoscope.netfirms.com/horoscopes/new/'.$typo.'.php')){#check file exists AKA Chris-Critchlow.com you'll also need this as a txt file ox=19010219|19020207 ox=19130206|19140125 ox=19250125|19260212 ox=19370211|19380130 ox=19490129|19500216 ox=19610215|19620204 ox=19730203|19740122 ox=19850220|19860208 ox=19970207|19980127 rat=19000131|19010218 rat=19120218|19130205 rat=19240205|19250124 rat=19360124|19370210 rat=19480210|19490128 rat=19600128|19610214 rat=19720215|19730202 rat=19840202|19850219 rat=19960219|19970206 See how they are piped? You can work out the rest foe yourself. I might return with a new site but for now, enjoy! Ray CC

PM me and I'll help set you up with a bit of code I wrote for a dating website. Ray

You'd be better of here. get answers quick and plenty of them http://forums.devnetwork.net/ucp.php?mode=login

Get_date method + if (date in date_set) { go to here; } set up date set to look at dates ie 22/11/ - 22/12 = Capricorn Would be easier as piped dates I know, I was a well known astrologer in Asia

try "touch("new-file-name.txt"); //copy contents - you know the code for this - read-write unlink("old-file.txt");

have you tried putting it a bit like this? print "words words words " var "words";

at the top of your screen now, you can see the address of the page. The URL and directories in which this page resides. I need to go to a page from my website but don't want anyone to see where it is stored. I don't want anyone to be able to bookmark and return to the page. I want them to pass through the website's terms-conditions.php page before they can access it. Is there a script for this or can you write it for me? Please help .... but then, I don't think anyone here can. Prove me wrong please.

ok, i found this (on another site while awaiting Sue Hanson (Crossroads miss dianne), but hey?) but it doesn't do exactly what I want. http://user:password@website.co.uk/protected-secure-directory/index.html This still opens a user interaction panel, asking if you wish to proceed. How can I stop all panels poping up and just go to the page? Please help.

Cmon! Help us out here mates.

Hold tight mate. I may still have a mail script in Perl that allows attachments and works well. I'll dig it out asap. Fret not. I'll be back!!

can your servers use and allow use of perl or cgi-scripting?

Hi all. Too busy driving celebs about lately so I hope someone here can help me out. I need a script that will allow a user to access an HTAccess directory automatically, without the need of intervention of the user other than click the link. Can you help me? Then, once the user is in the HTAccess directory, another small script that will strip the coding params from the link and allow the user to access just one .html (php) script. Hopefully blocking the 'bookmarked' return to the page. Why? I want my customers to be able to access the payment page but not allow them to bookmark it for return without first going through the terms and conditions page. Got an Eastender onboard today. Webcams are coming soon. With permission, maybe they'll allow questions and chat on-route!
