Re: XAMPP database

If you're using XAMPP, its easiest to "export" all databases from phpMyAdmin, and then "import" them on your new machine.

.htaccess url problems

Hi all,

I am using an apache web server, and this is the raw url:

http://localhost/mysite/index.php?view=contact

how do I convert that to:

http://localhost/mysite/contact/

My current .htaccess is saved in http://localhost/.htaccess, and reads as:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^mysite/(.*)/$ /mbs/index.php?view=$1 [L]

and I get a 500 internal server error?

Thanks for the help :)

Re: center all my webpage

When you are trying to center the .navbar ul, the header, content and footers serperatally, it is VERY hard to center them properly at all zooms. Here is probably the easyist way:

<body style="background:url(mainbg.jpg) repeat-x;">
    <div style="width: 1002px;margin:auto;">
    <!-- stick EVERYTHING in here, so its centered. -->

        <div style="background:url(header.jpg);">...</div>

        <div id="content"><!-- content --></div>
    </div>
<div id="footer">...</div>
</body>

If you sort of see what I mean (haven't explained very well), the mainbg.jpg will be the header, nav and content bg's all put together and repeated.

This is the esiest example: here

Re: PHP SESSION Help

Your code above doesn't actually include anything on your sessions? Theres just session_start()? because my guess at the minuete is that there is an error either writing into your session or echoing out of it. I need to see everything concerning the sessions to help on this.

Re: PHP filtering Options via dropdown boxes

Well first you need:

<select name="city"><option>...</option></select>

and the PHP:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM sellers WHERE city='".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['city'])."'";
$res = mysql_query($sql);

echo '<table>
        <tr><td>...</td></tr>'

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)){
        echo "<tr><td>".$row['some_colmn']."</td><tr>";
}

echo "</table>";

The above will generate a table populated with every row in the database with the selected city... :)

Qt MingW10.dll

Right everyone, here's my problem. I have just paid £45 for a book on Qt, have had a nightmere getting it sorted, and finally I can build apps to this extent...

I have an app, test.pro. I have built it using qmake test.pro -> make which works. I am using the MingW library within CodeBlocks on Windows 7x64. I have the exe all ready when... the file mingwm10.dll is missing from your computer, try re-installing and I have checked that in C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin\ there is DEFINATELY a mingwm10.dll file.

I am completely stuck, any help greatly appreciated!! :D

Re: Interactive timeline tutorial

Going on your link, are you looking to do the 1940s, 1950s etc, or the individual years and popups over at the bottom?

The 1940s, 1950s etc bit would be easy to set up, and so would individual dates, but placing them accross the images at an accurate distance would take a fair javascript. I cant seem to find many tutorials, but I'm more than happy to help if you want :)

Re: Count down function not working

Right no worries ;)

First you put <span id="timer"></span> wherever you want to display the timer

Second you put the following in the <head>

<script type="text/javascript">
var count= 2700; // will count down from 45 mins

var counter=setInterval(timer, 1000);

function timer()
{
  count=count-1;
  if (count <= 0)
  {
     clearInterval(counter);
     return;
  }

 document.getElementById("timer").innerHTML=count + " secs";
}
</script>

You can google it and expand if you want on converting seconds to mins etc

and there you have it :)

Re: hover menu not working correctly with Chrome, or ipad/iphone

I've tried to look into it for you, but just to confuse you even more, I have firefox and I cannot see any differance, so I cant fix it until i know what it should be like...

It seems to be a fault occuring in both: First you need to work out a way of removing the display: none; style off the #pup div when the user hovers over the appropriate link. (thats why we cant see it) ie getElementById("pup").removeAttribute("style");

Then the x offset must be at least 200px too large.

Finally, you need a way of inserting text into your div, ie document.getElementById("pup").innerHTML= "Your text";

Sorry to be a bit grouchy on that ;)

Re: Count down function not working

The PHP date is when the server generates a date and sends it to the user for viewing. The only way to do this is by using Javascript:

Get Javascript to refresh the page
Get Javascript to just do the count down (click here)

Re: database insertion problem.

Just as a quick note I believe that your HTML locating the jQuery file should go as (Using the http:// to locate the JQuery file:

<script src"http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

Aside from that (and actually answering your question), we are still clueless to why this is happening, so I suggest testing to diagnose the error by:

echo $_POST['name']
mysql_query() or die(mysql_error());

1 so we can see exactly what we are trying to insert and 2 so we can see if mysql has an error message that can solve the problem.

Please reply with what the results are so I can help, sorry to be a pain ;)

Re: What to start with...?

When I started out, I used NVU. Its a good suite but a pain for coders.

You really need the HTML and CSS first. You can do this with a text editor to really practice this the hard way if you want (but I would recomend and IDE). Try downloading a free HTML template and editing it (I personally find altering someone elses work helps me learn best).

Following that, get in there with GIMP and PHP/MySQL. For PHP/MySQL I cannot reccomend XAMPP more!

As i say, if you edit a pre-built template (add bits and change stuff) and just google any problems as normally there is a solution, w3-schools are really good as well, but feel free to PM me if you need help ;)

Re: Website Linking Help

LastMitch is correct on both the css hover and the links.
The reason they are not working as there is no <a href=""> link, but as you are using a div, I would reccomend trying <div style="" onclick="window.location='mypage.html'"> - otherwise you might have a nightmere with inserting an <a>

Router convert to sortof FTP server

Hi all,

We have just upgraded our btinternet router, and they gave me the old one to experiment with. The router is identical to this one. A friend thinks a script would have to be written in C++.

The router has all of its config stuff on a web interface, so I wondered if it were possible to have files stored on the server, accessible via the web interface, possibly building up to doing it with a wireless connection. I am guessing something like an ftp server?

What do you think guys? Possible? Any hints to get started?

Cheers

Re: website with word

Are you sure you can't use an IDE for this: as something vaguely like cnn.com provides a lot of problems for something like office. Word is by no means designed nor capable of working with html pages. Maybe try something like NVU which is a simple IDE that works nicely for non html users like yourself...

I would highly suggest using this route if you want to build a half decent project

Re: What's basic knowledge to learn PHP?

I agree with the others: its easier learning when you work it into an existing site...

Personally, I learnt PHP through tampering with opensource projects. You definately need HTML, CSS and maybe JavaScript but jalpesh has named all the languages to make the best sites. I use XAMPP and its a great suite!!! Perfect for learners!
