Here is a tiny bit of PHP that will better demonstrate the logic. Instead of a link, I used a textbox in a form so you could actually change the ID to see that the code works. Create a page named...

This is not the correct forum, but I don't see what the correct forum would be. Your issue would be a webserver-specific question--not a programming issue. HOWEVER, you could use PHP to redirect...

Building a stateful web application is possible, but not feasible for most application scenarios. As for why a person may want such a thing? LOTS of reasons. An obvious example is a browser-based...

The code is designed for PHP programmers to integrate into their apps. So if you are not very familiar with PHP programming, it will probably be difficult to understand my class. However, over the...

I'm sure the code is good, but I recommend the use of the popular ADOdb class library for database access. It is fast and robust and allows you to use the same code to connect to multiple databases...

Useful, clean, and simple. I like it.

This is a PHP script that allows javascript clients to request content they otherwise would not be able to. With the popularity of AJAX (using the XmlHttpRequest object in the browser), many...

That is not an error message, that is simply PHP code being dumped as output. That is what you'll get when you request a PHP-coded file from a webserver that is not configured to process PHP or a...

Thanks, DanceInstructor. That looks like an excellent reference. Brims, note that by quickly scrolling through the article, there are easily over 1,000 lines of code to create the system.

Don't fool yourself into thinking that you are going to find tidy pre-packaged scripts that fit nicely into your application.

I'm a nice guy, but I got to say, RTFM. The code examples in the PHP documentation are VERY good. It is unlikely that anyone here is going to explain it more simply than the PHP documentation.

What is your question? Please state a specific PHP-related question.

Do we assume you tried to install PHP on a Windows computer? Which web server? IIS? Apache?

You are creating both the dir and the file with permissions 755. This means that the owner ('nobody' in this case) can execute, write, & read. Everybody else can execute and read, but not write.

What version did you download exactly? I'll check it out. In any case, the conf files have always ended in the ".conf" extension. These conf files traditionally live in a "conf" dir under the Apache...
