    So when would you use... /SomeFile.php as opposed to... SomeFile.php OR /MyFolder/SomeFile.php as opposed to... MyFolder/SomeFile.php TomTees

    Because the tiny_mce directory is obviously in the same directory as your calling page not the web servers root as you had used previously. I thought you needed a "/" to go into a directory? TomTees

    Its a client side address, so the first / points to the web servers document root. But yeah, its likely the path is incorrect. Yep, its the same pain-in-the-arse as the Rel thingy in HTML... This is the code that works... <!-- TINYMCE CODE --> <script type="text/javascript" src="tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script> Don't ask me why?! Also, I tried adding some text that I added formatting to, and while the entry was saved in my database, none of the formatting was captured so I'm not sure what the issue with that is?! TomTees

    Paths really screw me up in PHP. (Particularly with this author and his procedural style...) In my Web Root (in NetBeans), my main file is "index.php" (Then the series of includes starts) Index.php includes footer.html in the "includes" directory. Footer.html has this code... <li><a href="add_page.php" title="Add a Page">Add Page</a></li> "add_page.php" is in the Web Root, and it apparently appears as part of index.php by way of footer.html. (Convoluted if you ask me.) In the Web Root I have the "tiny_mce" directory. In that directory is "tiny_mce.js" which is supposed to run everything. In "add_page.php" I have this.. <!-- TINYMCE CODE --> <script type="text/javascript" src="../tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script> I also tried this... <!-- TINYMCE CODE --> <script type="text/javascript" src="../tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script> I *thought* I understood navigating paths pretty well, but I know that rel=... in HTML always screws me up because it doesn't work like regular paths. It works from the parent file's perspective and not the file the actual code is in. *Maybe* that is the issue with this JavaScript code which I know nothing about?? TomTees

    You're pretty smart. Someday maybe they'll make you a Global Moderator or something?! Thanks, TomTees

    I am in my motel room right now. If I disconnect from the Internet (i.e. turn off my Internet Connection), and then fire up MAMP, instead of getting the splash page, I get... If I then open up NetBeans and try to execute a PHP script, I get the same message as above. So that says to me, that without MAMP (likely Apache) having Internet access, it acts all retarded and refuses to serve up PHP pages?! That makes no sense, because all of my files are local, so even though I'm use a webserver (i.e. MAMP/Apache), it shouldn't need any Internet access. (I think I asked this question a few years ago, and someone mentioned something about a "Loop-Back Issue"??) Regardless, this is a real pain, because it means that with a live Internet connection, I can't do any development/testing (e.g. on a plane, at work, etc) Any ideas what the deal is??? TomTees

    I am using MAMP on my MacBook and don't understand why MAMP and my code in NetBeans will not run if I am offline? If I am trying to execute PHP files locally on my laptop, why should MAMP or Apache of NetBEans care if I do not have an Internet connection?! I wanted to show someone something at work where there is no Internet access, but that won't work as it currently stands. TomTees
  10. TomTees
    Like after I run the PHP script? TomTees
  11. TomTees
    Already did that. It is kind of lame. There is no editor, so that is pretty bare bone... It must be something simple. TomTees

    I am reading a book that shows you how to use TinyMCE so that you have an editor to use in a TextArea in the webpage. I am followed the example in the book but it isn't working. My book told me to place this code after my <form>... <!-- TINYMCE CODE --> <script type="text/javascript" src="/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> tinyMCE.init({ // General options mode : "exact", elements : "content", theme : "advanced", width : 800, height : 400, plugins : "advlink,advlist,autoresize,autosave,contextmenu,fullscreen,iespell,inlinepopups,media,paste,preview,safari,searchreplace,visualchars,wordcount,xhtmlxtras", // Theme options theme_advanced_buttons1 : "cut,copy,paste,pastetext,pasteword,|,undo,redo,removeformat,|,search,replace,|,cleanup,help,code,preview,visualaid,fullscreen", theme_advanced_buttons2 : "bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,|,formatselect,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,blockquote,|,sub,sup,cite,abbr", theme_advanced_buttons3 : "hr,|,link,unlink,anchor,image,|,charmap,emotions,iespell,media", theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top", theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left", theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom", theme_advanced_resizing : true, // Example content CSS (should be your site CSS) content_css : "/css/styles.css", }); </script> <!-- END TinyMCE code --> The form with TextArea appears like it should in the main page but there is no editor. What am I doing wrong? TomTees

    So when you are building a website, is there any logical reason to name a file as HTML? (It seems to me that it would be easier to name HTML, HTML+PHP, and PHP files just as .php for simplicity?!) TomTees
  14. TomTees
    Okay, but to be more correct - as I found out last week - you can have 100% HTML in a PHP file and it ill run okay, but if you have any PHP in an HTML (by your webserver default) the PHP won't run. Right? Same if it is an HTML file. That is where I screwed up. (Of course it didn't help that NetBeans tricked my into thinking I could do this... <?php <!-- Comment grayed out in NetBeans but invalid when code runs!! --> ?> Yeah, GOD FORBID someone actually tried to make their code WELL-DOCUMENTED and READABLE!! (What w-a-s I thinking?!) TomTees
  15. TomTees
    I know that. And since it is an HTML file, I figured I could use them. But back to my question... TomTees
