You followed dojo's advice I think :p

Glad things are working out for you.

Hmm. How about taking some of the latest blog posts and including them in an email? Kind of like someone else does that spams me, but I didnt block them because some of the info actually interested me. Might generate some return visits.

Record the ip of the spammers and block them.

Find someone local to you. Get a non-disclosure agreement written up. Make the local web designer sign it before talking talking to them about your idea. Then at least you have some legal recourse if necessary.

I think its good to get an email every so often, but weekly emails get old pretty quick. Is it necessary for me? No.

I think you are doing a good job. Your content is great. In my opinion continuing to publish quality content like you have will lead to good relevant links. You might consider putting a couple of the posts from your site on the DaniWeb blog to attract some attention.

Are you going to use PHP4 or PHP5? I think PHP5 is supposed to have more powerful XML parsing functions, but to be honest I don't know an awful lot about XML.

You will either have to 1) do another database request when processing the form to get your values or 2) use some javascript to grab the select value then add the hidden value to submit the form.

The reference was to the operating system on the server, not the client-side operating system. Use the linux one. It is the one that has been being used anyway.

Make sure that you are validating all of the data from your form and don't send mail unless all the data is filled in correctly.

Consider changing the names of the form elements. Bots are probably posting data to your mail script without actually checking the form. Changing the names will throw a hitch in the process.

You should be able to grab the senders ip from your script, include the ip in the email and block the ips from spammers.

If your script is in PHP I can help you if you like.

Although I really do like the fact that I can tell when sub-forums have new posts :D

That is a PHP error, but you haven't posted any PHP code for us to look at...

The warning for Internet Explorer did not display in Internet Explorer. I thought that was your problem?? The warning did not display for me in internet explorer, but when I removed the line including the javascript it showed up just fine. So the warning would show in Internet Explorer like it was supposed to...

Declare a doctype...

Try the following:

<?php

$file = 'http://www.martinkorner.host.sk/Swim.exe';  //Windows
$file = '/mnt/storage/users/m/a/r/martinkorner/Swim.exe'; //or Linux
$new_filename = '"Swim To The Sea.exe"'; 

{   
    header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
    header("Status: 200 OK");
    header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");   
    header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");   
    header("Pragma: no-cache");   

    header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");   
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$new_filename);   
    readfile($file);   
    exit();   
} 
?>

$file = 'http://www.martinkorner.host.sk/Swim.exe'; //Windows
You understand that the line below completely overwrites the line above right?
$file = '/mnt/storage/users/m/a/r/martinkorner/Swim.exe'; //or Linux

Wow lol. I'm so used to the way it was. *Goes to get his bearings*

IE tries to download it for me but pops an error about an internal error in the extensions... Care to post the code you are working with now?

Its something in the javascript file you are linking to: ( i don't know what )

<script type="text/javascript" src="chromejs/chrome.js" />

remove that and it displays in IE...

Yes exit() ends the script at whatever point it is called an any code after is not executed.

The page has no doctype defined. If there is no doctype defined each browser will use its "preferred rendering mode" or "quirks mode". What happens is that pages can look radically different depending on which browser you use to look at it.

The page the form is submitted to is on the old site correct? At any rate you need to edit the page the form is submitted to and add a header using PHP

<?php
// make sure to verify your data

header("Location: http://oldsites_name/oldsite_page");

?>

Make sure when using the header function that you don't send any output to the browser before the header call, for example this won't work:

<html>
<?php
// make sure to verify your data

header("Location: http://oldsites_name/oldsite_page");

?>

You can edit your post for a short time after first posting, but once the time period is up you can't edit them anymore.

I'm actually seeing blank spots right now and I'm in North Carolina...

Edit: Actually I think it has something to do with adblock sorry :o

Considering the state of things now, with Google's popularity and page rank based on linkbacks its probably a necessary evil. Unless you somehow manage to get into a "viral" growth situation where your users do most of the link back generation and recruitment for you.

You could use curl or file() to get the page and then add your code before sending it to the iframe. Doesn't sound very ethical though if you don't own the page.

Sounds like php may not be enabled on your server, or the script's file isn't named properly. Please pm me the link.

EDIT!!_____________________

Make sure you enclose any php code in php opening and closing tags. <?php "php code" ?>

<?php
$file = 'http://www.martinkorner.host.sk/Swim To The Sea.exe';
$new_filename = 'Swim To The Sea';

{  
    header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");  
    header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");  
    header("Pragma: no-cache");  

    header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");  
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$new_filename);  
    readfile($file);  
    exit();  
}
?>

Errr... Where is the tutorial?

$file = 'yourfilename';
$new_filename = 'usersfilename';

:twisted:

I haven't tried it, it just seems pointless.

ok dude.. . email me.. .lets fix this... i understand your problem but i really dont wanna type out the code

Why not help her solve the problem here? If so then everyone else will have the opportunity to see the solution and learn something...

When you use foreach($a as $c => $b) then the key is copied to the variable $c. This gives you an easy way of changing the origional array if you want. Like so:

foreach($a as $c => $b)
{
  $b = '<div>' . $b . '</div>';
  $a[$c] = $b;
}

Well => is used in the foreach() function, you can read about it here:

http://us2.php.net/foreach

and you can read more about object oriented PHP here:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php

or just google object oriented PHP tutorial

AJAX will do this, but it's probably overkill for most situations. How long is it taking the page to load?

-> is used for object oriented PHP. So if you have a class called user and the user class has a function called login and a variable called name. You would create an object from the class called John maybe. So to log John in you would call the login function like so $John->login(); or if you wanted John's name you would call $name = $John->name;

I did this really quick so sorry if it doesn't make sense.

I didn't say windows was better! Have you thought about splitting the files into 2 or 3 parts?

Scrollbar appears for me in firefox 1.5.0.1

The line should probably read: langs/en.js but I'm not familiar with nuke so I don't know where it would go.

I think you should delete everything redownload nuke and try installing again. Looks like some files got corrupted or something.

FYI: tiny_mce is a javascript based word processor, probably used when you type up posts or a news story.

/Forum2/includes/tiny_mce/langs/.js

langs/.js ??? that isn't a proper filename

I really like the Photoshop WOW series of books. I haven't looked at Photoshop CS for Dummies so I don't know. I wouldn't buy the Photoshop CS Bible unless you know for sure that you are very serious about using photoshop.

Personally I'm not a fan of real media. I would use (cringes) windows audio and windows video formats, mostly because people won't have to download anything new to watch or listen.

If you are talking about where you have

http://www.BuyPixelScript.com

it is because you aren't using anchors.

Sessions expire automatically, I don't think you can force a session to expire. The time limit for a session is set by the session.cache_expire directive. You should be able to set this directive at the beginning of your script using the ini_set function. That way you determine how long the session will last. I think normally a session will expire after 3 minutes.

Not really. Your router may have a utility to actually connect to dyndns.com and auto update your ip (mine does - netgear). Another option is to download a client to run in the background and update the ip (both dyndns and no-ip have one). If your ip doesn't change much you may just update it manually, its up to you. You can check to see what your ip is by going to:

http://checkip.dyndns.org/

I haven't tried this myself, but there is a brief tutorial here:

Good luck.

I think you want to use a dynamic domain name service. There are many free ones available (but I'm not sure about the .co.uk part). You can try dyndns or no-ip. Essentially you would get a domain name like this: www.yourname.dyndns.com. Both sites above actually have different base domains for you to choose from like: blogdns.com, homeip.com, etc. You won't have to setup your own dns server with this option. Did I mention this is FREE?

The other option is to register a domain name with an ICANN accredited registrar such as godaddy. You will have to pay the registrar fee usually not more than $10 US. Using this option you will have to setup your on dns name server.

Are you sure you really want to do that? I think that for most applications you will be better off storing the image in a folder on your webserver and adding the location/details of the image to the database.

If I need info about PHP I always check php.net first. The function reference is great. There are usually some code examples and user discussion at the bottom of each page.

Other places to find articles, tutorials, and code snippets are:

DaniWeb PHP Code Snippets :)

Good luck :cool:

I recommend you take the high ground. From your description of the problem it sounds as though you can.

Be completely open. Make an announcement about the issue and explain the situation to your members.

I would unlock the pms ASAP. Otherwise your members will feel as though you are hiding something. This will hurt you in the long run.

As far as the poaching is concerned, I don't think there is much you can do. You could run some kind of negative publicity campaign against the offending forum, but that could easily blow up in your face.

Good luck.
