I didn't spot that piece of php code. Should be as follows:
<label>Username</label><br />
<input name="name" type="text" value="<?php echo (isset($_POST['name']))? $_POST['name']:''; ?>"/>
<?php...

Try attempt 4 the following:
<label>Username</label><br />
<input name="name" type="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['name'])) echo $_POST['name'] ?>"/>
<?php echo (!empty($arrErrors['name']))?...

Netbeans... It may be good for Java but I wouldn't recommend using Netbeans for php unless you find php terribly hard. Instead use a php text editor (Not IDE) and things will be a lot simpler as php...

Lets take into account the following code.
<?php
$message="This is a string<br>";
echo $message;

$message="variable";
$variable="This is the second string";
echo $$message;
?>
You will...

That won't work due to invalid syntax. The following would be more like it.
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "password");
mysql_select_db('my_database');
$query="UPDATE ".$table." SET...

I do not believe phpmyadmin has an option to startup or restart mysql and in fact will report an error if mysql is not started. The best way to startup mysql is via command line and can be scheduled...

Perhaps this:
$query="UPDATE ".$table." SET ".$sub_code."='".mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $marks)."' WHERE no='".mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $r_no)."' LIMIT 1";
mysqli_query($dbc, $query) or...

Just that the mysqli_query() function is not in the official documentation. Also you could try the following code.
$query="UPDATE ".$table." SET ".$sub_code."='".mysql_real_escape_string($marks)."'...

Also is there such function as mysqli_query(). Is it meant to be mysql_query() like the following?
$query="UPDATE ".$table." SET ".$sub_code."='".mysql_real_escape_string($marks)."' WHERE...

A bit like my first post. If you are meaning you want to program your own php site from scratch to look like a wordpress site then you will have to realize that this is no easy job. You will find...

Do you mean like this:
//data stored in $arr

for ($i=0;isset($arr[$i]);$i++) {
mysql_query('INSERT INTO `table` SET `column`="'.mysql_real_escape_string($arr[$i]).'"');
}
Hope it helps.

If you mean all of the values are stored in the one cell or variable then the following will do the trick:
$var='one.two.three.';
$var=substr($var,0,-1);
$arr=explode('.',$var);
for...

I'm no translator but I think that website is in Arabic. Impossible to read or understand. As for the question, the only oop I currently use is in php-gtk but hope to learn more soon. Also anybody...

The following should do the trick the the result being in the $res array
<?php
$var=$_POST['box'];
$i=1;
$res=array();
$var=(empty($var))?array():$var;
foreach ($var AS $val) {
...

Also if you want columns in the array then a 2 dimensional array will be required. For example
<?php
$htmltable=array();
for ($row=0;$row<21;$row++) {
for ($column=0;$column<6;$column++) {

Have you tried the youtube video player. Simply copy and past the code shown to the side of a youtube video and you can view that video on your site. Only problem is that method is the video must be...

Exactly and in addition to that your host may have turned off short tags in the php.ini file so you might need to use the full <?php.

except you didn't change the extension. For example to include the javascript file you should use the following:
<script type="text/javascript" src="xyz.php"> </script>
Then in xyz.php you can...

Simply give your javascript file a .php extension then php code may be used in the file. So for example your filename may be scripts.php and will display all of the required javascript using php.

I see how that can be handy but another thing I have noticed with sites like google and youtube is that they seem to redirect users to their country code domain meaning there is a separate database...

Just a note on that. Wikipedia receives 1,000 new articles every day and many more edited articles so it is possible to compare Wikipedia to ever changing websites such as Facebook. I guess it is a...

Didn't realize you were trying to get those two variables to work but the data from the result is stored in the $data variable and should be possible to use the preg_match_all function to find the...

Try this:

That is a basic mysql error which means mysql has been told to search for a column named id_tariffplan however no such column exists. A common problem for this is mis-spelling the column and not...

Are you at all familiar with the mediawiki cms. That is the same cms wikipedia uses and it does not spread into millions of tables. Instead it has hundreds of computers that just process the...

Well actually I have been told in the mysql forum that if you design a table so that it has indexing you shouldn't ever need multiple tables for the one job. That is when designed properly because...

Well cookies are designed to serve one domain only and google's login uses Java applets. So perhaps with googles login their Java applet could write to a file on the local system or something like...

Cookies and sessions won't work because they are separate domains so I would suggest having them both read a common mysql database where user data will be stored so when a user logs into each, their...

The only other option is the below. If that doesn't work then it means there is something wrong with the apache httpd.conf file. I have experience that myself but can't find how to configure it...

Just saw on your first post it is http://localhost/user/jack
Try the following although there are a number of possibilities for this error...
RewriteRule ^/?user/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/?$...

Try to make sure that it rewrites to the correct location. So could you provide a url link to your php page mentioned in your htaccess file including domain and all.

Try this
RewriteRule ^user/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/?$ profile/?uname=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^user/([^a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/?$ errorpage.php [NC,L]
And don't forget to make that error page.

Shouldn't those symbols be encoded. Try using the php urlencode function on those symbols to see what the translation should be. That would be the most likely solution because such symbols can't be...

You can take a look at this thread (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread239874.html) for a script that already has some of those abilities programmed in. But there would be a lot more programming to...

Also the second part the is where to needs to specify then entire address after the domain so for example the...

Although you could use regex it would be better to use the following:

$var=explode('?v=',$url);
$var=explode('&',$var[1]);
echo...

The reason why my script is a little more complex than that is because the script I wrote scans every page in the website specified. So in other words it will go to the specified page, grab all the...
