I have never used PHP before. I'm pretty hardcore with (x)HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and I also know C++.
Here's the thing - I need to create some sort of code that receives information from the back end of a site and dynamically adds a link on an overview page of that new article and also creates a new webpage with the article on it.
I'm not quite sure where to start or how to go about doing this. If anyone could give me a push in how to get started or maybe explain how the code would work?
**The link will reside on a page built with HTML**
Any help is greatly appreciated....
If necessary I'll use ASP (but I don't have any experience with that either )
Thanks!

Ok here's the finished program :)
/*~~~prog3.cpp~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| "Waiting ...waiting... Next!" |
| Program 3: A Queuing Simulation |
| |
| This program creates a simulation similar to that of a bank line. |
| The program starts by receiving the user's input data for the |
| number of server, the simulation time, the transaction time, |
| and the average arrival time. Then the program checks to make |
| sure the data is within the scope. |
| Once data is within scope, program commences. The servers are |
| inserted and the transaction_time is initialized. |
| Then the main loop of the simulation commences: the clock is used |
| as an incrementor and when clock reaces simulation time, |
| simulation ends. |
| First, the simulation checks for a new customer. If there is one, |
| the job is enqueued with the current clock as its input value. |
| The number of jobs enqueued is incremented. |
| Next, the program checks the line for any jobs as a test. |
| Then, the program runs through the servers. First, if a server is |
| available and there is someone in line, a job gets dequeued. |
| Then the wait time for that job is computed and added to the |
| total wait time and that server is engaged. |
| Another for loop checks the servers for if they are not available. |

ArkM: Thanks for the tip on inserting the code -- didn't realize there was a difference.
Also, this is a presentation, rather a work in progress: I felt like sharing:icon_cool:

Working on a simulation which closely resembles waiting in a line at a bank. Program runs the simulation based on the user's inputs of # of servers, simulation time, average time between arrival, and transaction time. Here's what I have so far:

Alrighty: here's the completed program -- one issue left is that if there are 2 entries with the same key, the program won't find it. Also, after the third choice, user must enter their choice a second time. But these problems do not otherwise affect the program.

typedef Node * NodePointer; NodePointer is a pointer to a type of class Node. Thus, NodePointer nPtr = new Node(dataValue); is declaring nPtr as type NodePointer, and it is being set to a new object of class Node, which is receiving the dataValue.

Ok, so I am befuddled. Each individual file compile fine, no errors. When I compile all together and create an executable, no errors. But, when I run the program, I am getting an error. I have it narrowed down to a problem with my void LinkedList::insert(const ElementType &dataValue) but I have looked at it too many time to figure out what's wrong. The main concept is that a new node will be inserted in a sorted order based on the key of a struct. The linked list is sorted alphabetically. Also attached is a sample of the data being read in.

'bool operator>=(const ElementType &e1, const KeyType &key);' must take exactly one argument
...I understand that the error is probably from trying to compare a struct element with a string, but i do not know how to fix it.

Hey there. I am taking a programming class using C++ and my assignment is to create "Tictactoe" using ObjectOrientedProgramming... The problem is I have no idea what I am doing...
I need to have a "tictactoe" class file and a "player" class file - each with their own header files and one driver file.
"You will need to have two classes: a TicTacToe class and a Player class. The TicTacToe class should contain the above mentioned 2D array for representing the game board, i.e., this class should have a 2D array of characters as its data member. You should have a zero-argument constructor in the TicTacToe class that will generate the initial game state (all the 2D array elements initialized to '\0'). You should overload the << operator to display the game board at any point. The game board should be displayed along with the grid as shown in the sample executions. There should also be a member function called SetValue that will have three arguments (a row index, a column index, and an integer representing the player index) and a boolean return type. This function will set the specified cell of the 2D array to an appropriate character depending on the player index. This function should also make sure that a player makes its move to a blank and valid (inside the array bounds) position. In case a player wants to make a move to an invalid or already occupied position, it should return false. In case …
