Re: need help in .htaccess to hide PHP extension

its not your local pc, thats insignificant, though its good if the development system is configured the same as the real host
mod_rewrite needs to be installed on the host, the server the site will be running on the www
test the .htaccess file given on the web server to see if the host has enabled mod_rewrite
if not enabled you may have to query your hosting company to have it enabled, most hosts do not allow you(me/them) to recompile the OS, for very obvious reasons.

Re: having a div cycle through images on an auto timer

In the <head>in <script></script>
or in an xtern file for re-use

NewImg = new Array (
"images/1.gif",
"images/2.gif",
"images/3.gif"
); 
/* as many or few images and the path to them */

var ImgNum = 0;
var ImgLength = NewImg.length - 1;
var delay = 3000; /* Time delay between Slides in milliseconds */
var lock = false;
var run;

function chgImg(direction) {
 if (document.images) {
  ImgNum = ImgNum + direction;
  if (ImgNum > ImgLength) {  ImgNum = 0; }
  if (ImgNum < 0) { ImgNum = ImgLength; }
 document.slideshow.src = NewImg[ImgNum]; 
 }
}

function auto() {
 if (lock == true) { 
  lock = false;
  window.clearInterval(run);
 }
 else if (lock == false) {
  lock = true;
  run = setInterval("chgImg(1)", delay);
 }
}

in the body where you want the slideshow to show

<div><img src="images/1.gif" name="slideshow"><br>
<a href="javascript:chgImg(-1)">Previous</a> &nbsp;|&nbsp; 
<a href="javascript:auto()">Auto/Stop</a> &nbsp;|&nbsp; 
<a href="javascript:chgImg(1)">Next</a></div>

This is not the only javascript slideshow, this is the one I thought of today 11pm, I am certain its not original, i have typed it so many times, that I remember it,
there are thousands of better freeware ones in Javascript repositories

Re: is it possible to retrieve manufacturer information using javascript?

I don't see much point in doing redirects after the wrong page is loaded to the minibrowser, If you do it on the server before the page is loaded the minibrowsers wont waste time loading a heap of pages then reloading
browsers send their user_agent in http request, this works in php, Caveat that many browsers spoof their headers and pretend to be something else

<?php $mobile = "http://mobi.mysite.com/";
if(preg_match('/Windows CE/i',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { header("location: $mobile");}
elseif(preg_match('/Blackberry/i',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { header("location: $mobile");}
elseif(preg_match('/PalmOS/i',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { header("location: $mobile");}
elseif(preg_match('/PalmSource/i',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { header("location: $mobile");}
elseif(preg_match('/SymbianOS/i',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { header("location: $mobile");}
elseif(preg_match('/Opera Mini/i',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { header("location: $mobile");}

elseif(preg_match('/DDIPOCKET/i',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { header("location: $mobile");}
// redirect to pda page else continue

Re: Confused beginner

once you create a dbase
then you have the ability to cxreate a number of tables inside the database, in my head the database is an empty filing cabinet, plenty of potential but not much use yet, my host pack has 1 database, but it has installed in it 6 different products, 6 sets of tables.
Install packs for joomla-esque products (joomla-ish(?) hard to determine what is a reasonable adjective) usually include php scripts or sql instructions to create the tables and defaults in the database once the database exists.
sometimes the scripts are buried right at the end of the install instructions instead of at the start Joomla help has http://help.joomla.org/content/view/1947/302/1/0/
a reasonalble online helpset, decent screenshots of database, and manual instructions as wellbeginner, is a good place to start :)

the database is meant to be machine readable
human readable data constructs just *expletive deleted* the data
time is not a character string
time is, int, numeric result from the time functions (seconds from 0.00 1 jan 1970).
sql (php asp perl flex) time functions convert human readable day month year strings to timestamps to be stored in the database
timestamps are faster smaller easier to correctly manipulate
change your database to properly store the 'unix' timestamp and format to human readable in the output script

and the fix is probably easy (not maybe for you and me but there are code gurus)
Post the wrong code in tags, and 99% likely someone will be able to debug the error if there is a result, the form is likely ok if there are wrong results, the back end select function needs some tweaking something like a wrong expression used to select $price < 50 $price > 30[code=language] tags, and 99% likely someone will be able to debug the error

Re: create a form with a post

its for a ms access database and php, i want customers to be able to select or tick various things they want in our services and when they click the submit button depending on the things they selected our database should return two of our package that will best suit them

And you want to do this without even knowing how to create a form,
Before you begin, you need to read a lot, and practice on a dummy dataset
you need the details on how to connect to your database and pull information from it, and you want relational logic to select the best matches
this is not a trivial exercise
'best match' is a very difficult logic to implement

Re: 3 digit HEX value

How is a 3 digit HEX number interpreted as a color value in this example?
background: #fff
Do browsers double up each digit?
Thanks!

Re: mySQL contains function?

select name where state like '%s', $post['state']

mysql_query(sprintf("select name where state like '%s', $post['state'] "));

probably better if you take the commas out of your state tables
wa fl az mi
instead of
wa, fl, az, mi,
many schema give commas a meaning, and cannot be sure where the data will be interpreted and parsed
the space character is a sufficient divider

%s , $post['state'] could be written as 
$post['state'] 
replaceable parameters that I need to know which ones are numeric / text / blob to debug,  sql %s is literal text

Re: Decimal problem

Hi,
INSERT INTO money (salary) VALUES ('100,000,000.00')
100,000,000.00 is stored as 100.00 in decimal (14,2).
I don't know what is wrong?
Thanks

do not punctuate numbers in input data
mysql suypports multiple data schema, language-specific and region specific
in many supported schema the comma is a decimal separator, the number is truncated 2 digits after the first valid decimal separator = 100.00
database code is meant to be machine readable, not human readable, so dont try to make it pretty in the database
do any formatting only on output.
number should be 100000000.00.
input validation should strip out any incorrect characters in the input data, and return to the input form for re-entry with a "did you mean" prompt (like google when you mis-spell)
without validation the database wont last very long till it falls over dead
(Likewise repair dates that these salaries refer to, store timestamps not text strings, for the same reasons)

Re: When website will open, popup has to come

dont use a popup
popups are routinely blocked for security
every day a larger proportion of browsers have popup blockers enabled.
because popups are annoying
sites that use popups get worse results than those that do not

use a layer and show/hide it as necessary

Re: Browser Script Conflicts.(FIREFOX)

It does not work in IE7 either
there are several hundred nul characters scattered at random through the source
redo with a text only editor, or change the editor used config to save html as plain text
