You could run a query like:

<?php

// don't forget to create a connection to database first!

// i.e.:
@mysql_connect('localhost','username','password');

// and choose a database
@mysql_select_db('database_name');

// fetch the info from database
$myrow = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table");
// make it so that it's like $myrow[0], $myrow[1], etc.
$myrow = mysql_fetch_row($myrow);

?>

Just turn on the option that 'shows template names in HTML' so that you can view the source code and see which templates are being called on every page ;)

PHP files can go anywhere on a web server that is running the PHP Server Module. If the web server is not enabled to host PHP pages then they will not work. I found a list of free php web host here.

Nice list there :)

Although it's not complete, it's pretty good; but I strongly suggest simply paying a $3 / month or so fee for a paid host and you get much more than a free host :)

One of these might help as well: http://www.hotscripts.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?bool=AND&query=stocks&catid=all

Also I find this handy if I want to completely block users from viewing the contents of a folder; just put deny from all in a .htaccess file to block all users! :) This is great for a folder that contains include files that are included by other scripts but are never seen directly :)

I think one of those will help :)

And I believe & is not a valid character; you could just try by signing up with hotmail.com and using something like jack&jill etc. to see if it works, or try creating email accounts with your ISP.

Yep, character case is extremely important both in MySQL and in PHP - I suggest most of the time to keep things in lowercase ;)

whats a php nuke?

Google it :)

It's a CMS basically (content management system).

The way that I learned PHP was by immediately creating scripts that people requested, at different websites, such as www.vbulletin.org (vBulletin addons and mods).

That helped me to learn things and give me new creative ideas to script.

Also if you need additionnal help, I suggest searching the www.phpbb.com support forums - lots of people have had the same problems you have had in the past :D

You just bumped a really old thread you do know that right? :)

nope; check that page again, I made a response there about files working fine but folders are still taking a while

I think I found my answer :) http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/WinXP/Q_21082854.html#11723247

It happens all over my computer, even in My Computer which I'm unsure if Indexing affects that part.

If I disable indexing, how much performance do I lose when searching? I'm guessing I won't get an exact response, though.

When I click on the 'delete' button on a file/folder then it takes about 5 minutes for the delete dialog confirmation to show up (and while it's waiting, the window is frozen.)

I can't see what's going on; CPU isn't being used, and neither is much RAM; any ideas?

For now, I enjoy Knoppix a lot :)

That's all for now :p

Hacking what?

Would be REAL sweet :D

Hey it's my hack :p
Anyhow yeah try that and if you need help with it, just reply back to that support thread :)

Yep UT is great :D

Ragnarok your signature image filesize is HUGE.

Cool I better check this out too :D

Then I suggest Invision I suppose :)

phpBB isn't that bad as well.

All hail vBulletin! :D :p

only idiots have register globals enabled. And obviously it's best to be content specfic, eg $send_mail or whatever.

Most webhosts have register_globals on, but I always use .htaccess in my root to turn it back off for myself anyways :)

Strange, that's weird especially if it works on other PCs :eek:

I guess you could try re-installing?

MSN has been having many problems lately, finally working for me again.

anime -> Japan

You know, the music industry makes plenty of money from ringtones and not as much for albums these days. Go figure :rolleyes: :p

All I have are PC games and I'm happy with them :)

Yep ;)

Please don't ;)

Change

php_sxlt.dll

to

extensions/php_sxlt.dll

Takes alot of time and effort to port correctly

Not ALWAYS; anyways I offer services to port vB 2 skins to vB 3, PM me if interested :D

Cool I like this new 'system' Dani :D

Me too :)

The actual time is how it is right now ;)

IFRAMEs are still used in several CMS related web apps. When dealing with a lot of data, it's wise to use them rather than scrolling through 1000 records of information. The reason why they are used is so you have menus and other tools visible to the user, otherwise, as soon as you scroll, you'd lose visibility of them. I'm using IFRAMEs in a project manager right now I'm doing in PHP. ;)

Yep very true :)
Also, making a project manager eh? Could I have some more information? I'll send you a PM ;)

Yep CSS is the way to go :D

Generally, frames suck (just my 2 cents :))

I'd suggest not using frames, if you can.

Tweety :D

cartoons

Oh okay.

Possibly it is a Poll thread, and someone recently voted on the poll.

The lights went out exactly one second after I turned my computer on. Freaky. Maybe it was all my fault.

Nah, just blame it on the Americans (hey it was their power plant! :p)

I haven't seen a successful web site without them, so I highly recommend them. As long as you don't have a megabyte of pure metatags it should be ok. Company sometimes abuse the heck out of them and spiders don't even bother to crawl them because they see the abuse.

You get moved down if your keywords are way too generalized (like this website having keywords such as "computers,tech,animals,food,pie,simpsons" you get the point :p

And you can't post a new thread when viewing another thread :)

self help

Agreed :)

If they exist, then leave them. Otherwise, I don't think you should bother too much about them.

Google AdSense rocks :p
