I was under the impression that bots were against the twitter rules. I know for a fact that paying a company to get you followers and that they post get more followers on your account is against twitter rules. CanadaFred I wouldn't use a bot unless you were sure it wasn't against the rules. heres a link to their terms http://twitter.com/tos and if you want you can follow their spam account named spam and other accounts that are official twitter accounts so you know whats going on.

Posting your code would be helpful :)

what should i do? should i change that lines? please help im so confused

I'm still a novice at PHP. I don't know if that line is the culprit but it would be the one I'd suspect. What I would do is comment it out temporarily and test the script. Don't be afraid of commenting out code if you are on a testing server since you can easily uncomment it. I wouldn't comment out code if I didn't know what the outcome was going to be and the code was live online.
**********
I am referring to the line

$selected

that is within your if statement.

I'm not positive that this is the problem but it looks like the most likely culprit

if (isset($_POST['select']) && strcmp($row['id'], $_POST['select']) == 0) 
{

   $selected = ' selected="selected"';

}

I may be way off track here or I may be on the ball.

I found what I believe to be an error in your script on line 4 for the mysql password the variable is $passwordd . I'm not sure if that was on purpose or an accident... looks accidental.

I'm looking at designing something not as graphical as quake but much more advanced than tic-tac-toe. Is the references to games a metaphor? It is somewhat, I plan to design games in the future. My main question has to do with the mouse. What language does it use?

UMMM... I think, no I'm almost absolutly sure it is illegal to obtain another sites database without some type of contract with written permission. Then they would give you access to what you needed, most likely. I hope I didn't misunderstand your post We just don't support hacking here.

I'm sorry if my question seems odd. I know there are plenty of web games that can be written in Actionscript (flash). However I'm looking to build something for the computer like an exe file. Which language would be a better choice? Yes it is going to be graphical because it will be a game.

Do hours of research on SEO (Search engine Optimization) Or find the thread that I posted a bunch of SEO tips on... not exactly sure what the thread was called so just search my name and if something about SEO comes up click on it. Also you should really take advantage of technology like twitter. Twitter is a very powerful internet marketing site. I hope that helped you out.

If I'm designing something like a game with characters that uses the mouse would I choose c or C++? Also is the mouse in windows written in c or C++? I would guess C++ but I could be wrong because I'm very new to the world of C languages and programming. I hope someone who has been in this field longer than I have could give me the answer to my question :).

Thanks bob. I really hoped it was that simple but I wasn't sure.

I'm developing a program in PHP. I'm still a beginner in PHP thus said I may ask some questions that may seem basic. How would you go around compressing PHP into a downloadable file for redistribution.

Thank you so much for the help! I removed the bracket and noticed I put to Ts for isset on line 77 which was messing everything up! Thanks again.

Thank you! I will do that right away.

The code no longer needs to be displayed. The problem was fixed thanks to the help of adatapost.

Wow I am surprised at how of a heated debate this topic is! I have continued doing my research and I've had the pleasure of having a short conversation with the inventor of wordpress. He gave me some very good advice. I can see why some people think it is stupid to have your code under GPL but then again it is ingenius if you set everything up just right. It all has to do with the process.

w3schools.com is one of the best sites on the net! I can think of a couple good authors for coding books. I like books by david powers but most of them are about PHP. He has a new one coming out this fall all about CSS. He makes PHP really simple to understand so I'm pretty sure his CSS book will be easy also.

Hi;
I have been studying PHP and I'm coding it. I ran into an odd problem but I'm sure it is a newbie error. Whenever I run my php script on xampp I get parsing error line 103. I go to my code and the closing html tag is at line 103. I have found a few misbalanced braces and fixed them but still no dice. Any help would be really appreciated!!

I am well aware of Netscape going open source which ended the company. I am also aware of wordpress.com owned by automattic. That is also GNU. What is the difference between the two? I have an idea that I want to be GNU but I don't want it stolen. Wordpress has done very well while netscape didn't. Any advice would be very helpful.

I know there are a few glitches in the video I put online. I did this as a midterm assignment and fixed all the glitches before turning it in. I hope someone likes it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsGIhQ3ekOE

You mean BOB? I think thats illegal. I am sure microsoft still has a copyright even on old BOB.

so the winner gets 1000 cents? That isn't a big prize it would take longer to count than to spend.

Building an offsite link directory is okay but one of the worst design flaws in building a Website! You have to aim towards the search engines and then you can go after sites (if you feel that it is neccesary which I don't think you will.) I get plenty of unique visitors a month and most of them come from google.com.

Are people open to completely new online communities? Something that isn't one bit like anything else around? I am curious as how people will respond to it's originality.

Will need a little more info could you tell us what OS you are using? Have you checked the startup folder to see if there are any programs there?

sorry. my bad. that wouldnt have put a password on the user,

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mydb.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass';

i advise setting a root password. major security risk.

heh; yeah like what happened with david mckinnons and the U.S Miltary.

thank you; however I am not sure what database language I should use.

I am designing a site with a javascript login that leads you to a flash actionscript site.
What language would I be looking at for a database? Mysql? I can use any feedback.

I have been reading up on ASP, ASP.Net, and wmlscript. I still am not sure which one to use for mms uploads and need some advice. With my bad luck I most likely posted in the wrong forum *sigh*.

You can't "buy" an IP address. IP addresses are assigned to different parts of the world.

I would like to thank everyone for their help. I am not the hardware dude of the household my dad is. My dad and I went over the problem and we did switch out the power supply. I am more software and coding than hardware. I wish I could do hardware but my fingers don't work well with small parts.

My computer is now running the primary drive and I have not yet put in the drive I want to save. The main problem that caused all of this was my surge protector! It may have not been the power supply; after swapping out every component in the computer that was the actual cause!

Update: I am turning my primary drive into a secondary and I am installing windows vista as the primary. I have found out that it may have not been the OS after all my power supply seems to have gone haywire it starts smoking so much that I am afraid of my pc catching on fire. I don't know if web expressions and silverlight could have caused any problems to my OS I am just going over what I have done in the last few days.

Hi;
I usually try to help on boards like this and now I am making one.. heh. Well I left my computer on sharing bandwidth with the stanford folding@home daniweb team overnight and came back the next evening to find my OS toast. I tried to repair it via windows recovery disc with no avail. I then called my computer repair friend who told me to install BARTPE via a cd or dvd to troubleshoot it. I did that and to my surprise bartpe worked; I then tried to run checkdisk with bartpe where it tries to recover any bad sectors and on stage 3 the computer just powered down and wont even turn on! I get a little flicker from the hard drive light and then nothing. I hope someone can tell me if stanford folding@home cause this since they were using my bandwidth and cpu power or if it was everyday hard drive failure. I am really upset because I had a song on the computer a band was going to record and a book I was writing. I was stupid and backed up to a partition *bangs head*

Fred is correct; I have to say the SEO of your Web content is whats most important. I do however work on the 1 percent of creating links and when I play flash games I put my websites url on the high score board instead of my nickname. I do not spend to much time doing this because what fred says works! I only had under 100 people seeing my site a month in november. In december I started doing seo in the middle of the month and by the 17th I was getting 40+ people per day. I know that isn't a lot but I only have about 3 pages right now. Anyways this month I estimate that I will have over 1200 unique visits because of SEO. Next month I plan for that to go up to 10 thousand+ in a month because of some stuff I am working on.

Man you really want to challenge me don't you john? a storage device like a server is what the EULA says. Yes you could consider a hard drive a storage device but it is an active in use storage device. I think you may have copied that EULA from a multi licensed version cause I don't think thats what the one license per computer version says. They don't want you running two versions at once with the same license. Yes you can make a backup every company allows that. A backup in no way means backing it up to another hard drive that also runs it; it means putting it on a form of storage (like a cd or dvd) for later use in case of a emergency.

I know that windows only allows one activation key to be in use at a time.

John: cloning is illegal if the manufacturer doesn't allow it.

Nick I hate to bust your bubble but it is illegal to "clone" XP or any microsoft products.

You can always be a myspace developer but that only makes you money if you get advertisers yourself. You can always make an app where you charge for something extra; though I don't like those. I am a myspace developer.

If you have read the "fine print" of skype they use some of your bandwidth not just for you to chat on skype but the whole time you have it on they take a small portion of your bandwidth to help the large amount of people on skype chat. I am fine with it I have skype but other people may not be okay with that.

the windows vista official homepage should be of some help :)

No Desmond; he is incorrect. I have researched how dual cores, triple cores, and quad cores work and this is an excerpt that may help you out "Each "core" independently implements optimizations such as superscalar execution, pipelining, and multithreading." My source is wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple-core I have learned that wiki is usually correct in some tech areas. Since we have confirmed it is NOT your processor causing the problem. I would be interested in how much of your memory is free and not being used by other programs. Go to your task manager and click performance and then look and see how much available physical memory you have.
_____________________________________________________
I did some research on your game and it requires a 3.00 gigahert processor; you may have a 2.10 gigahertz triple core processor but the game will still lag a little. I wouldn't reccomend buying a new processor because processors are changing faster than I can type. Last I heard the 7i was out but I am sure that maybe obsolete by now. I do not know your computer skills but if you feel confident in overclocking your processor without frying your motherboard or processor I would reccomend that. Overclocking can be dangerous and sometimes deadly to your computer problems that I know exist are overheating, and many others. I would reccomend that you do complete research on all of your components and motherboard before you OC (overclock)

Could you give us a little more detail? Like how much RAM (random access memory) You have, how much disk space it needs and how much disk space you have available, and your processors speed. It most likely has to do with processor speed and memory but I will have to assess that later.

Use my suggestions at your own risk! I can't think of what to do so I would save the file somewhere like another drive or something and delete outlook and reinstall it and then put the file back in the exact area. I have no clue if this will work or cause any problems it is just one of my crazy ideas so use it at your own discression and I am not liable for anything that may happen.

just a guess so take the following with a grain of salt but the file named out look thats over 800,000 kilobytes probably is the file. just go to the link that I keep posting the microsoft support page they lead you through step by step on how to fix this issue.

I don't think your going to get much sympathy here about limewire issues because it is P2P and one of the best ways to get a virus! I also am a songwriter (among many other things) and I do not condone the use of illegal sites like Limewire.

use this support page by microsoft about this issue http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088

Do not create a PST file what you need to do is go to search and type in *.pst that will show all the PST files on your computer. Then use the advice given above at your own discression.

I looked at your site and saw a few things that can be changed to make your site picked up more by search engines and also help people with disabilities ( 2 for one!) You do not have any alt commands for your images. It would only take a few minutes to add in a description to your images that makes it clear what they are to people who can't see your images and for search engines. I know adding a description to every image doesn't sound like it would help but in reality it does. I do not add a description to an image if it is a background that is the only time I don't follow normal procedures of adding descriptions.

How does this help people who can't see your images and search engines? Easy you just write in what the image represents (or does) like if it was an image of a bear drinking coca-cola the description would probably be "if a bear enjoys a nice cold drink of coca-cola; your sure too!" I personally don't like coca-cola but I thought that was a good description idea that shows with words what the image is and the search engine would probably pick up the words "coca-cola" along with "nice cold drink". I hope this helps :)

I wouldn't be changing .dat files the PST is what matters (I know that was already said) but I really want to enforce not to play around with the .dat files since the pst is the true problem. And yeah we do this for free we are just geeks who like to help each other cause we don't know everything (who does?) and we need help sometimes to. This is just a free help area by IT who are usually real friendly.
