Devoted Hosting

I still design/code to ensure maximum compatibility with IE6 - some of my sites still have as much as 25% of visitors using it. I think that within a few years I'll *start* to use HTML5, but at the moment I see no major reason to use it just yet.

Glad to hear it's been sorted :) Whilst I'm sure neither would like to admit it, I doubt that Google pulling out from China would benefit either company/country.

An awesome thread :) Some amazing bits of advise here. I guess it depends on the application. For basic login systems which don't protect sensitive data, something like a double-hashed randomly salted string (with sha1()) will work fine.

Just one character? So "a" or "3", but not "ab" or "3r" etc? If so, just do: [code=php] if( strlen($val) == 1 ) { // Fine } else { // Error } [/code] Or do you mean something else? :)

Do you want to have a specific download link depending on the customer (i.e a secure download system), or simply mask the download link? If it's the latter, you could always have a script like: [code=php] <?php header('Location: http://www.example.org/path/to/download/file.pdf'); ?> [/code] And then link to the PHP file. This way …

Okay, which bit are you getting stuck at? No worries if you are stuck at the very start, although it'll help us if we know where to start suggesting things ;)

What is the output when you run: print_r($out) Knowing that output can sometimes give a great insight into where these sorts of problems lie (or at least it has been useful when I've been doing regex work :))

To delete a file (i.e. image in a folder), use the PHP function unlink: [CODE=php]<?php if( unlink('/path/to/file/imagenn.jpg') ) { // File delete worked } else { // File delete failed } ?>[/CODE]

As above, more information would help. Have you started anything yet? If so, what have you done, and where are you doing wrong?

Switch statements? They would be the best way to do this, IMO, since you're just considering *one* variable (i.e. the %) and outputting different values (i.e. the grade) depending on that % variable.

A domain name registrar allows you to register a domain name. A web host allows you to host a website, and 'link it' to that domain. Meaning that, when someone visits your domain, your website files (hosted via your website host) will show up. I'm a little confused though - …

As above, it's not possible using PHP. You'd need some sort of program running on your computer/server (or network of computers/servers, etc) which can query websites on demand, taking a print screen of that website, and then upload that print screen image wherever's necessary.

Erm, well you just create the new pages as normal, and then hyperlink to each new page on that main News page. The HTML code for a hyperlink is: <a href="PageFilenameHere.html">Title To Show As Link</a> So, if the page name was AsalStoryTrue.html, you would set the hyperlink as: <a href="AsalStoryTrue.html">Asal …

Assuming I read your post correctly, wouldn't it just be basic SQL? For example: SELECT * FROM table WHERE shoe = 'Nike' AND size = '7' AND continent = 'Africa' AND country = 'Kenya' Where exactly are you struggling? Is it with how to carry out a SQL query in …

Will check it out, thanks :) I've used Ubuntu mostly, although I've heard lots of good things about Mandriva.

GoDaddy's hosting can be pretty weird. Can you create custom php.ini or .htaccess files? If so try adding either into your public (web-accessible) folder: A file named "php.ini" containing: session.bug_compat_42 = 1 session.bug_compat_warn = 0 OR A file name ".htaccess" containing: php_flag session.bug_compat_42 1 php_flag session.bug_compat_warn 0 See if that …

Hello there, I am curious as to whether there's any 'easy' way of creating 3D models (e.g. animals, Humans etc) via a Java applet? I know in a full-blown application one could use Java 3D (with the Java 3D libraries being installed with the application), but is there an 'easy' …

As cguan_77 says, could you be more specific? Did it randomly stop working? Or was it working fine, but now your computer won't boot up? Do you get any diagnostic errors? Is it a brand new HD?

[QUOTE=kulrik;1040800]i dont know what im doing wrong. You think you can help me?[/QUOTE] Are you getting an error message? All you've said is the question, and your code. Is there a problem, if so, what is it? :)

I don't *think* it will be a problem (i.e. I think it will still work), but it'd be somewhat of a waste of cash since it'll only run at 667 MHz.

Do you know any programming languages? A 2D (or 2.5D) game can be done in C++, C, Java, etc. Just depends on what languages you know?

A full HTTP request would look like this: GET /file/loc/here.html HTTP/1.1 Host: [url]www.example.org[/url] User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;en-GB; rv:1.8.0.11) Gecko/20070312 Firefox/1.5.0.11 Accept: text/xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en-gb,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive Referer: [url]http://www.somewebsite.com/example.html[/url] Which, of course, is longer - that is, I think, what the question was saying.

Granted I'm fairly new to Java, but could you not declare variables as synchronized to help solve this problem?

Are you sure you created the boot CD correctly? What program are you using to burn the CD?
