Hi all, Ok - there's nothing like a BIG challenge to start off my exploration into programming. Given that I'm a complete newbie with more build errors than a builder having a bad day (bad pun!), what I'm really looking for is someone to hold my hand a bit and …

I have been reading about pointers, which IS confusing. I'm sure there is a purpose, but I don't know why I need them yet. For example [CODE] [COLOR=Red]var1 = 23;[/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue]// assigning 23 to var1[/COLOR] [COLOR=Red]var2 = var1; [/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue]// assigning the value of var1 to var2[/COLOR] [COLOR=Red]var3 = &var1;[/COLOR] …

Hey, Right now I'm using XP, and I was thinking of getting a laptop. Now, I've heard a lot of bad stuff about Vista, but most of the things I heard are "It sucks." Or "don't get it" or "it's extremely slow". Now, except for the last one those are …

Does anyone actually use the .hpp file extension for C++ header files? I've never seen it used, but I was just working with geany, and I noticed that it only syntax highlights C++ specific things if the file extension is .hpp (or .cpp, obviously, but not .h). So what's the …

Does mysql_real_escape_string() escape HTML character entities?

Those of you running vista know what I'm talking about. Mine is currently 3.6 but that is because my video card doesn't have drivers, I expect it to goto at least 5.6 once I get those installed (as that is the next lowest number on the page) :cheesy:
