  1. What err? You should have mentioned that to begin with
  2. Everything was wrong with it. Try taking it apart and then ask us.
  3. You best bet is to use Regex for this..so I´m moving this to that forum.
  4. woot...PHPFreaks is yet again reborn!

  5. Awesome work Philip!
  6. Just a suggestion, but would it not be easier to make this changes on blur rather than while the user types. If you insist on doing it as the user types, you should have this text mirrored in another div so people can fix their typos and such as jesi mentioned.
  7. I used a debit card so my dispute was much more .....uh... ..stronger...idk lol I've never owned a credit card..
  8. Unbelievable! It worked like a charm. I got my money back instantly. Then a few hours later, Lenovo decided to actually issue my refund finally. So now, I have double my refund, of course I'll have to close the dispute and give them back the other half, which I wish I didn't have to do... they deserve not to get it back. Anyway, thanks for the idea.. My frustration is gone....
  9. That is absolutely what I did. Thank you xyph, for the information. I have still yet to hear anything from Lenovo though, much less about my Disputed Transaction. I have been waiting to chat with Lenovo for about 30 minutes now. As it turns out, the best way to get a hold of them is through their forum. Even still, they claim that their forum is a peer to peer community NOT a support station. But it seems to be the lesser of all of their evils. Someone came into my thread and mentioned he has waited for 88 business days for his refund, I relayed to him the same info you gave me and he was thrilled. http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-my-refund/td-p/856059
  10. Simply put, it is the use of javascript that allows a page to change instantly on a condition and/or user event. It allows you to asynchronously send and receive data from other scripts. jQuery is a framework for Javascript and is widely used. I suggest you look into jQuery as it is the solution to your problem.
  11. Seeing as it does no good to complain on the Lenovo forums about their customer service, I thought it appropriate to start an anti-Lenovo thread here, where it would possibly rank higher in Google searches and overall give Lenovo worse of a name than it already has. I made the idiotic mistake of purchasing a Lenovo product while in Mexico. I had it shipped to my father so that he could ship it to me. As it turns out from our research, mailing things to and from Mexico is no different than throwing money into a black hole in space. So I decided I should cancel the purchase before it is shipped. To my misfortune, my order was shipped not 2 hours before I got ahold of a representative, which took about an hour to get a hold of. So, I had to wait for the product to be shipped to my father who then shipped it back for me. Just from the experience I have had with Lenovo, I would like to inform everyone to STAY AWAY from them. They are thieves and liars. They will give you numbers to call for support in your local area, but unsurprisingly, no one ever answers. Even if you call the number every hour on the hour for a week, no one will ever answer. The people that you can get a hold of have absolutely no English language skills. Every time you do actually get a hold of someone, they will either tell you the exact same templated apology or they will transfer you to another black hole phone line. Even if you asked not to be transferred they will ignore you and do so anyway. I have been told 4 times that my refund will be processed within 3-5 business days.... all on different days. It is as if they are only paid to say a few phrases. They might as well be robots. A few days later I was told that it would take 5-7 business days.. then on the next day, when I waited an hour for customer support again, I was told it would take 1-2 business days for the quality check and again, 3-5 business days for the refund to be posted. To put it shortly, every day you call, whether it has been 5 business days, 1 month, or 6 months, they will always answer with the same bullshit response. By looking through the Lenovo support forums, I realize that I am not the only one to be shafted. I am curious to read the experiences of the PHPFreaks community with Lenovo. Has anyone actually had a "good" experience? I will honestly never buy from this company ever again.
  12. We used phpBB once, and were hacked. It definitely didn't leave us with a good impression. Even if it has been improved...IMO phpBB would be worse than sticking with SMF.
  13. Fuck yea, cupcakes fo' ME..!! house, tree, castle, water...
  14. Here's some kind of game like that I found while googling http://www.eyezmaze.com/eyezblog_en/blog/2005/09/grow_cube.html#more
  15. What everyone is getting as is that you should not modify the information before you put it in the database. Although, you DO need to sanitize it before hand. Wait until you take the information out from the database to modify its look and feel. Otherwise, it would be like pouring milk into a cereal box, and then putting it in the cabinet so you don?t have to add milk later. Be normal and pour the milk in afterwards.
  16. Welcome back to the cool club, where the beer flows like a brand new catheter.
  17. It also wouldn't hurt to read up on superglobals before that. I wouldn't recommend someone researching santization of input before they even know what a superglobal is and does. Make sure you get a grasp on the following vocabulary as well: - a query string - a query string parameter You can learn an awful lot about these things from a simple phpinfo file.
  18. It shouldn't if it is declared outside the function first.
  19. In order to do that you would need to declare all those variables before-hand... with null values. $first_name = null; $last_name = null; ....... Then, in you're function... you would pass it a string argument then use that string to create a variable variable assignment. function fromuser ($variable) { ${$variable} = trim(htmlentities($_POST[$variable], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')); } At that point, you wouldn't need to return anything in your function. fromuser("first_name"); fromuser("last_name");
  20. Not hardly. Care to elaborate some more?
  21. screenshot? or link?
  22. I decided that instead of paginating, I would use a fixed position filter. Since they are selling nation-wide, I figured it would be easiest. Thoughts? http://reallycheapfloors.com
  23. you need to set it for both body and html body, html { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width:100%; }
  24. The client is teeter-tottering on the credit card transaction fee percentage. Paypal and Google Checkout have a 2.9% + $0.30 fee, while their Merchant is (somehow?) hooking them up with a 1.58% fee. I went ahead and set up a sandbox account and used the SIM integration method just to check it out. There are still a few variables I need to figure out, but it seems I may be able to get away with no getting an SSL. The form action posts to a https address hosted on Authorize.net, which is exactly what I need. Now I just need to make sure I meet the requirements.
