Would it be safe to assume that most Perl programmes are like that?

Why would you say that? Programmers who program in different languages are sometimes more careful and sometimes not, and same with devoted programmers, etc.

I don't see where you getting at with that question, it's very confusing as there really isn't much basis to put that statement on :confused:

http://www.altavista.com/ works for me - do you get a 404 error?

It's dynamic, meaning it changes websites based on certain events and data, which makes for a more interesting and more dynamic website, than a website that is written in pure HTML and so it completely static and never changes unless manually changed (which is done much less than updating a PHP website I can tell you that.)

Please show a screenshot - a picture is worth a thousand words.

PHP is much faster than slow as heck Perl. Perl must run in /cgi-bin/ folder I believe.

PHP has much, MUCH better integration with the other free, open source database, MySQL.

PHP + MySQL are like buddies - when you think of one, you immediately think of the other.

Also, with the new release of PHP 5 - what is there to NOT like? :D

Well I use www.flashfxp.com

Don't worry about it, heh

We are all equal :)

Code revision, then :)

That's not called fixing, that's called improving.

I don't think you can, I can't remember if you could do this off the top of my head; tell us what exactly you are trying to do instead of being so general.

To turn off notices, you should set error_reporting() to something else; check www.php.net/error_reporting for more info :) Your level is probably way too low; you should NEVER see Notice messages, they are only if you really want to debug things but about literally 95% of the time, notices are worthless.

You could also just try running your code on PHP4 and then fixing all the errors; generally that's easier for me to do since I know what works and what doesn't instead of fixing things that aren't broke ;)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I believe that being a 'colleague' is a special status and is only given to you if you know Dani (founder of TT) very well; as you can see, there is only about 10 or so people who have this special status.

I install all my WAMP on C: drive so that shouldn't be a problem :(

sounds great! and please don't double post :)

Yes that would be best :)

Is the hosting site already supporting PHP, or is it a dedicated server and you are trying to install PHP yourself remotely? :eek:

I think you can get support from templatemonster if you purchased from them can you not? I'm sure they have a detailed tutorial about installing their stuff somewhere :D

that's good to know :)

For me, a Chinese one that probably most wouldn't know :)

He's too old now, though. His latest movies bombed real bad :(

I once used their site for a problem I needed solved via their trial and I rated someone a B because although their answer was the most helpful out of all of the ones I got it still didn't solve my problem and the thread was going nowhere, then the next day I got a PM from the person I graded saying "Why'd you give me a B?! Don't be surprised if no one's anxious to help you next time.", and I've never used them since [IMG]http://daniweb.com/techtalkforums/techtalk-images/icons/icon13.gif[/IMG]

weird :eek: sorry you had a bad experience

I'd feel all out of date and out of fashion if I had one of those I reckon. I haven't seen a 'BSOD' since Windows XP was invented ;)

My WinXP gets BSOD once in a while (of course I fixed them though, but it doesn't mean that you don't get them when you have WinXP :))

Nevermind I'm in.

never mind before i could not figure out how to config because I could not see the admincontrols link at the bottom. Well here is my very crude forum willpull.remnetworks.com/phpbb

Website seems down to me.

You know, I'd actually buy one of those shirts if they made 'em.

Yeah it's not like it's fake :)

no problem, any time - Killer_Typo: experts-exchange.com not only barrages you with ads everywhere you look but requires you to pay for a decent view ratio [IMG]http://daniweb.com/techtalkforums/techtalk-images/icons/icon13.gif[/IMG] IIMO any place is better then them, especially since you can get the same help they offer if not better for free with alot less ads

I have a year membership there (I'm using a friend's account, we share it) and it is pretty decent there. They are a direct competitor of our website over here, though, and daniweb is more of a community-based website than their's.

I think this is basically the easiest it gets. Maybe you could try ezboard.com if you want a complete, idiot-proof BBS :) I've never used it myself personally but it should be easy to setup.

geeks.lotsofadshost.com

That URL is not registered yet.

I already have an account.

Nice links I'm sure it'll help a few :)

Are you sure? Where'd you hear this? Got a news link or something?

I don't want to even touch leaked Windows code, because sometimes it's hard to find this kind of stuff and when you get a hold of it, then you are unsure if it's safe or not because many people launch bad copies on the internet.

Jackie Chan hasn't been doing good in his latest movies; IMO his good most recent movie was Rush Hour 2.

Gmail invites are flying all over the internet now :)

www.neowin.net for more general discussions about more technology-related stuff. This site I would say is more of a community, so you get less help there than here anyways ;)

For an online shop i recommend looking into oscommerce ;)

I do not normally run shopping websites, but my best bet would be oscommerce as well.

If you want to setup a forum, you most likely cannot run it on geocities.com since they do not support any scripting languages such as PHP.

I would suggest going with another free host, or at least finding a host that supports both PHP and MySQL.

If you would like to install a forum software such as these free ones: www.invisionboard.com www.phpbb.com then you should check their documentation for more installation instructions, they are very detailed and yet simple. They will get you on your way. Arguably the best paid BBS is vBulletin, located at www.vbulletin.com

I hope this has helped you out!

Right :rolleyes:

Hey there welcome aboard!

Same with me ;) But I have had stranger dreams as well.

$7.95 seems to only be if you pay for the entire year.

Interesting, thanks YoungCoder ;) If I had the time, I would look through the whole Apache doc to learn more things - but sadly, I don't :p

Yep, .htaccess is only for Apache; and that's the only webserver I know, sorry ;)

The founder of this site made it herself; you should just go to www.vbulletin.org and request for it there.

Well CSV just means that you separate things using commas; but it'll be real hard to be able to read off data from certain rows and manipulate the data in the CSV.

Adding data is not a problem, but reading data from the CSV will be much harder I believe.

What I would suggest is to use MySQL, then use phpMyAdmin to output the table(s) in CSV format ;)

Alrighty then :)

I remember instructions along the lines of:

In order to reformat as NTFS, you have to make the drive you want to format, a primary drive, then stick the Windows XP CD in and then use that to begin the Windows installation process. It will have an option to reformat drive first as NTFS, once you complete formatting to NTFS - STOP the installation process, then it should be back to normal (don't forget to switch the drive to wherever it goes as usual!)

You lost your Windows XP password?

If so, here are some solutions:

Run it to create a boot floppy then follow the instructions. If you choose to do this then you are doing this at your own risk. Just change the admin pw and login then change the account pw's that you desire.

Make sure you have a floppy disk in the floppy drive and let the program create the boot floppy. Now restart the machine a let it boot from the floppy. Now follow what it instructs you to do.

Use it like a bootdisk.

NTAccess can replace the administrator password of a Windows XP, Windows NT or Windows 2000 system by rebooting the computer with a special set of boot disks or CD-ROM (XP only). This is useful if you …
