Re: how to compress js files which is in post method?

I apologise for jumping to conclusions
it happens too often, and I just expected it.

I clicked view source, the parameter has to be added somewhere, perhaps in the wordpress plugins being used, just about everything in the page <head> has had the parameter added if it isnt in the source, something has to be doing it in the serverside scripts

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://web.guru99.com/wp-includes/js/perl.js?fe74d6"></script>

I think mod_deflate / mod_gzip is a better suggestion

Re: New to responsive web design, looking for web services

fixed size elements do not work in any device except the one the page was laid out on
body:1000px looks ridiculous on my windescreen, even ridiculous on an iphone coz that tiny screen is 2700px wide
laid out in em or % ,,, scalar dimensions that auto adjust to window size, screen resolution and user preference the site can look very similar across a broad range of devices
together with the previously mentioned css media queries, to change css to the abilities of the display device
and
a redirect script to send those devices that cannot be handled this simply to a page tailored to their (lack of) ability, the google code mobile redirect script is simple and functional, and so far seems bug free

Re: how to compress js files which is in post method?

if an apache server you can enable mod_gzip or mod_deflate in .htaccess for this filetype something like the codescrap below, which zips the most zippable filetypes

<ifModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file .(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
</ifModule>

cache can be set in .htaaccess as well using mod_expires, the instructional search is left to the user, because I dont have the code stuck in my head for that

edit: reread the post,
and
it is considered improper to serve a file located on someone else's server as part of your system unless the other person explicity agrees and offers that service. eg google script, because that third party has to pay the banmdwidth costs, it is considered theft. likewise pinching the code itself is considered theft of intellectual property
the code above only works if the file is hosted on your site
if the author permits, place it on your host, and serve it from there with the appropriate attribution,

Re: how to download image very fast from website using cloud server

how big are the images ?
printers are 600-2400dpi
viewing images, the best screens are ~220dpi so the image does not have to be big, a 5000x4000 image looks the same onscreen as a 1000x800 image (25x smaller)
maybe resize the images for the intended use, they will be smaller in proportion to the reduced square-size and faster to download

Re: Text onmouseover to show image then remove

Re: There is an elephant on the loo!

In Las Vegas some worshippers at Sunday services will give casino chips rather than cash when the basket is passed.
Since they get chips from many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings.
They send all their collected chips to a nearby Franciscan Monastery for sorting. Then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in.
These monks are called chip monks
.

Sorting gambling chips, is very tiring work,
chip monks need food that will not allow their mental accuities to to diminish, fish is the ideal food
high in omega whatevers, and protein

chip monks are fed by fish friars

Re: Read CSV file with Â¤ character and insert into MySql Table

Following Pzuurveen's idea, can you open the csv source file in a hex editor, and find exactly what character the delimiter is, and if it is not displayable, you can use php tet processing to replace every instance with a "," (comma no quotes)

Re: Read CSV file with Â¤ character and insert into MySql Table

}while ($data = fgetcsv($csvfile,1000,"¤","|"));
delimiters; end data, data separator, can only be single characters
so long as |$| is unique as the end data record marker,, the above should work
fingers crossed

sometimes graphic character eg. ¤ can be the display figure for a non-characterset letter,
if the data input is not the same language/characterset as the database the ¤ could represent any of several million possible high order utf characters, or 10hex lower order control character
eg english has 26 letters in 2 cases, 10 digits about 40 punctuations,
Japanese has 50K Kanji

Re: Help understanding PHP

not a problem, the remote site will process the php as it serves the file,

added to Diafol's wisdomn

from a prior post,

Proof read like a high school english teacher,
the client will make very many requests, document them all, the point at which they were made, the response, and how long accommodating them is scheduled to take, then does take

there are html/php scripts that allow the client to edit (prescribed portions) of the site without coding knowlege
the client does not need even to know that the host is different, his-site.com just resolves to a different host ip

When the client starts wanting an interactive site, one that supposrts scripting is an absolute necessity, they may find $4.95/month for one of the basic php sql hosts is worth it for the ease of incoporating all the available utility

good luck
php.net has good explanatory code snippets, and tutorials
there are hundreds of thousands of pre-written php scripts to do much of what the client will imagine
much of which is freeware, for you to incoporate in your code

Re: CSS overcoming inheritance

I'll try,
poor design:: anything that depends on another developer or a user, behaving in a particular manner.

styles that are inserted in other code bases should be absolutely device independent.

PX are pretty much useless as a layout tool,
on a crt a px is 1/96inch,
or lcd 1/132 inch,
on led 1/235 inch,
on telephone & Ieverything ~ 1/400 inch.
12px begins as 1/8 inch and finishes as 1/50 inch tall, unreadable.

ideally relative dimension should allow the site developer to set standards for the layout of the page,
yet the interloper designer can ensure that the inserted elements are relatively larger or smaller, more or less emphasised.

layout relative dimensions em or % based around 1em or 100% and the text will always scale around the settings of any parent element
a relative dimension 150% or 1.5 em will always be 1.5 times larger than surrounding text. a div 40% wide will always be 40% of parent element
