[My First Code In Php]

well if you need your main file to be .html

[Photo Upload Service]

well you could look at a java solution

 

e.g. JUpload

[htmlspecialchars_decode]

the "code" for a pound sign is £

 

note the semicolon, your feed is not terminating the character reference correctly

the 'funny symbol' represents &#163399, i assume the last bit '399' is the missing part of the price

 

if you can't correct it at source, maybe you can do a search and replace

[Storing Clicks on a Button - How?]

rewards based on storing info in cookies?

 

i think you need to rethink this and do it with php and your database

[never mind]

Headers MUST be sent before any output is started.

[php include with varying number of variables]

forget the $imagei stuff

 

put the refs in an array

loop through the array

[Trying to get PHP&MySQL with Lightbox JScript working]

you might have better luck asking in the javascript subforum

first you can get the variable 'q' containing the coordinates using

$coord2 = $array_coords[1];

 

for further info google;

$_GET

explode()

arrays

as far as i can see it's doing what it's supposed to

 

pointing to page.pl.php

why would you want it to be different? looks workable to me

[AJAX Call not working in Safari]

i seem to remember that safari has/had a problem with 'innerHTML'

setting it (the 'innerHTML') to an empty string before giving it a new value may be a solution

 

 

[Upload image, and add path to MySQL database]

well i for one wouldn't bother reinventing the wheel

 

have a look at

http://www.uploadify.com/

and

http://www.verot.net/php_class_upload.htm

 

uploadify is jquery

it needs a 'script' to do the actual uploading,

i use a file i call upload.php

this uses the php_class_upload class to do the work, at the end of this, if the upload succeeds i put the mysql update bit

 

so, i use the jquery / uploadify bit on my main entry page

this calls upload.php to do the lifting

if the upload succeeds the database is updated with the file name

uploadify can then, via a javascript callback, refresh part of your page with the newly uploaded image

 

this lot takes a little understanding of using jquery/javascript and php together

but you end up with a nice reactive file upload

 

oh, and i'd use two tables as you suggest

if in the future your going to need two or more images for the info, your good to go

[How to Search in Text File and Feedback result into MySQL (Newbie)]

$pos = strpos($logfile_text, '>', 1);

$rtrv-ls = substr($logfile_text, 9, ($pos - 9));

[Foreach vs While loop in PDO Database retrieval]

there's a benchmark page at http://www.phpbench.com/

 

which suggests that foreach is quicker

(scroll down to find)

although whether it's actually noticable in practice would probably come down to how complicated the code in the loop was

in this case i'd go for ease of reading the code over marginal speed gain

 

there's a number of other rather interesting comparisons here too

[Need help with displaying MySQL data]

$resuts

 

$result

[How do secure the input on this baby]

assume $profile is an array

[Open file in protected folder.]

if i understand what you want to do then instead of

 

header('Location:script/Script.jar');

 

you need to look at readfile

 

and protect the folder with htaccess, to prevent direct navigation

[Resizing uploaded image from server]

or for a full php script look at timthumb

 

resize on the fly with local cache etc etc

 

[making TD value BOLD]

not to solve the main problem, but

 

you shouldn't be using id="bold" in that loop, but class="bold"

and amend the css to reflect this

 

ID names should be unique to 1 html element

[Why does my sidebar shift downwards when I add content?]

you'd be better putting the sidebar and content in separate divs, like this

 

	
<div class="content">
<p>the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
</div>	
<div class="sidebar">
<p>stuff in the sidebar.</p>		
</div>

 

then your css goes like this

 

	
.sidebar {
float:left;
left:0px;
position:relative;
width:200px;
}
.content {
float:right;
position:relative;
right:0;
width:590px;
}

 

don't go adding padding / margin to these unless you can deal with possible box model problems

 

 

as regards the way you've got the code right now, it's behaving just like it should

if you wanted to go with it like that you'd have to float you're sidebar left

then either give the <p> in the content a 200px left margin or float it right with a 590px width

[Custom fonts in CSS [afm, pfb, sitx]]

well it looks like a problem with 'photo' somewhere

[Problem with "If IP equals wildcard"]

in this case you could remove everything after the last . in $ip giving 10.44.6.

 

then this would work

 

if ($ip == '10.44.6.')

 

this won't work, because for instance, '10.44.6.' does not equal '10.44.6.1'.  You use something like strpos() instead.  Alternatively you can use regex to match it, if you want to match ranges. 

 

but i wasn't sugesting comparing '10.44.6.' with '10.44.6.1'

I was suggesting that if you take $ip, remove anything after the last '.'

you will then effectively be comparing  '10.44.6.' with '10.44.6' no matter what the last part of the address is

 

'10.44.6.' does equal '10.44.6.'

 

there are obviously othe similar approaches, the point was that the check could be made without involving wildcards or netmasks etc
