time as a fourth dimension is simple to understand
a floor plan is a section across the z dimension, and the time dimension
an elevation is a section across the x dimension, and the time dimension
or elevation is a section across the y dimension, and the time dimension
your baby photo, teenage photo, wedding photo, retirement photo, are sections across the time dimension, and the x y z dimensions
the time dimension is enormously important.
It is simple to stand on the train tracks in front of a train, as long as the train's position on the time dimension is 'yesterday'
it just is bloody difficult to produce a linear drawing along the time dimension.

Tommy Ramone, last surviving member of the Ramones passed

Although saddened by the passing of more of the stars of my youth
I wonder if, at the funeral, they played the parody :

When-a, When-a, When-a, it's my turn to go
I wanna be cremated
Don't need a shov-el, or a back hoe
I wanna be cremated

Just get me to the furnace, put me in the flame
Never mind a casket, or headstone with my name
I can't afford a funeral, or eulogy that's lame
Oh no no no no noooo

When-a, When-a, When-a, it's my turn to go
I wanna be cremated
Don't need a shov-el, or a back hoe
I wanna be cremated

Re: What is the current algorithm used by Google

Google publishes the NAME of the algorithm
the algorithm itself is better protected than any country's security data.

and dont get kicked in response to any of the above

Re: header problem

It is an error in your code, as cereal shows
can be as simple as including an extra space where there shouldnt be one, before the opening <?php
that space is output to the browser and no headers can be sent
If you cannot locate it post the code and others will point out the fault,

its easy to see other's errors,
impossible to see your own. . . . . other peoples errors are more fun

if you do not have access to your php.ini file, many hosts do not permit it
file buffering can be enabled within the file, (in this case compression as well)

<?php ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?>

Re: Simple $_POST validation question

php code is executed onload, unless explicitly coded as a function for later call
function name([variable list]) { code }
cereal's sample,
and yours,(not meant as disparagement)
will execute,
and return a result,
not always the expected result
but a result

the submit button submits the form as, name:value pairs, to the formhandler described in action='filename'
the formhandler then uses its code to validate, sanitise, & decide whether to
submit to the database, or
return for correction, or
discard the submission,
however coded by the developer.
Nothing is predetermined by language constructs

submission of incomplete or incorrect forms to the database, is always a bug in the handler script
some value not checked, within range, already in use, etc
to Stop the user submitting the form when an error is reported, is easy, disable submission until all fields are correctly filled, you are using ajax so its easy
Start with the submit button disabled
<input id='subm' type='submit' disabled='disabled'>

to stop unreported errors being submitted (there is always the chance, however small, of two users posting to the db at the same time) validate again in the form handler, and return

Re: Search Engine Optimization

I stand by the comment, a huge judgement error:
posting links to your site in a thread asking basic assistance in fields you pretend to be competent enough to offer as service:
the post will be high in search results, further demonstrating ignorance of search engines
keywords: become less relevant with each iteration of the search algorithm, bots read semanticly, if you read "how google crawls the web" it may help

Do the beginner steps; get a google webmaster tools account
read google 101
submit your site
let google tell you precisely what to repair in your site to improve your site rank.
instructions, guesses, from anyone other than google are a bit anticlimactic

don't tell your paying customers (god help em) that this free service should be the first step for them, instead offer 'individualised genuine google reports'.

Re: HTML Page transitions from one page to another

it is javascript,
it will not work all the time, (IE<9 of course, or high security settings), when it does work (justabout everything else) it is effective.
it may add to apparent page load time,

onload and onunload scripts, are often considered malware, as the popup porn industry, and may get, if used injudiciously, any external code, penalised delisting from ser,

NOT displaying the most important part of the page immediately, kills user retention, the user wants the content NOW thats what they came for, display everything else whenever you like

Re: sitemap

Many cms, wordpress etc, have a dynamic sitemap module built in, or as a pplugin that can create a sitemap and renew it on schedule as new pages are added

there are googleLink standalone scripts

less active sites can use a sitemap generator I like the one at auditmypc.com because I can configure out image links, and reduce 20000 pages to a manageable 5000

Then get a google webmaster tools account, and follow the on-page instructions on your google webmaster tools page to submit the sitemap directly to google
bing yahoo et al are insignificant, google still has 80%+ of all searches,

There's a good sticky,, good coz I wrote it, :) , at the top of the website reviews forum, on getting code ready so the bots can index the site well, more readable code, more gets read each time the bots pass by.

Re: problem while uploading songs

when sending files to the server,
the folder has to have permissions set to allow php to write to the folder
the image folder has thosee permissions set, php writes images,
Cereal asked if the songs folder is writeable
if images and songs are sent to the same folder the question is moot,

not getting the point :: may be some research to do
the host control panel helpscreens may have instructions on permissions

Google looked over every file in the sitemap, and discarded those it did not care for.

duplicated content(and/or sufficiently similar content)
badly formed code that the bot bounced
possible reasons, not the reasons
159/170 = 93% : thats good, few sites (no sites) are totally indexed, the other pages will be reached by users if they need them

Re: What is needed to be noted before to start content writing?

generally:
original, semantically & grammatically correct, accurate content.
Don't mess up read-ability to stuff the text with keywords.
use others' content, with permission, and attribute that content, the backlinks help them.
keep the landing page small so it loads fast,
subsequent pages will already have the css and scripts in the cache, they can be bigger for the same apparent load time.

can't be specific about your site, know nothing about it.

Re: XL Media help

I dont think you could find all their websites

They appear to be a facilitator, a provider of click-to-play links for gambling providers.

XLMedia owns more than 2,000 web sites, in 17 languages, which act as a “customer doorway” for gambling operators. These content rich websites are designed to attract online gaming players which are then directed to XLMedia’s clients. Sophisticated research, optimisation, testing and analysis on in-house platforms ensure that the websites maintain high rankings on internet search engines, which in turn drives online traffic.

many such turn out to be untouchable, the links may be to scumbags, but the provision of the link is grey

Multiple sites, registered to multiple holding companies,
wholely owned subsidiaries, but with their own structures directors and act as their own registrants in different jurisdictions.

XLMedia Plc is incorporated in Jersey(Registered Number 114467). Registered office: 12 Castle Street, St Helier, Jersey JE2 3RT. The rights of shareholders may differ to those of a UK incorporated company.

My bold

Jersey, is a tax and liability haven
and the office is IN the Jersey Financial Services Commission building,
Dodgy? dunno but sure looks dodgy

Connection between them is obscure and secure.
It takes enforcement years to trace the cash flow, with hundreds of agents and specific snoop software.
If they wish to hide any corporate links, it is much easier than finding them
