| | Hello Daniweb, I am planning on moving a telephone socket downstairs so that I can move the router from the back corner of a granite house into the middle of it, so hopefully the wireless signal shall be better for everyone. In the house there are two telephone lines, one … |
| | Re: laptop question As with any battery, frequently charging and then discharging shall inevitable do some damage, the real question that needs to be looked at is how much damage.

 | Re: IP Conflicts The majority of the time, your external IP address isn't going to be static unless you've paid extra to your Internet Service Provider. Are you sure you aren't confusing your internal and external IPs? |
 | Re: University? Unfortunately I don't have any off hand, however you might be able to use the UCAS online search tool for more information. If you pop on over to [search.ucas.com](http://search.ucas.com/) and enter your criteria it should list a huge number of available universities. From that list, hopefully you shall then be … |
| | Re: IP Address Yep, as JorgeM has stated however just giving a bit more information.

 | It depends on your skills and knowledge. There are a number of different methods for creating a website, the simplest is to use a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor which allows you to use features such as drag and drop movement and resizing. There are a … |
 | What owner did you change the permissions to? It sounds like PHPMyAdmin no longer has the access rights to use the files and therefore it cannot configure itself. |
 | |
 | Just to expand on what JorgeM is saying, A computer network is designed to share information and/or data between two or more computers. This isn't a requirement, and a computer that isn't part of a network is referred to as a "stand alone" or "independant" system. These types of systems … |

 | It all depends on the search engine that is indexing your page, so in theory it could be infinite times long. As a rule of thumb though, the major search engines (Google, Yahoo and Bing) tend to accept around 150 characters for the description, and about 65 for the title. … |
| | Re: XAMPP If you aren't openning it up to the internet, and instead are just using it for development and testing then yes. XAMPP is only the front end tool for the various services. If you where to open it up to the web then the most important things you secure are … |
| | Re: online project As klemme has elegantly put, you need to do your own work and only use the forums for support on bits you are stuck on (as suggested by the rules). A quick hint though as to where you should start. Look into how to: * Implement a pseudo random number … |

| | Re: Hello Daniweb Welcome to the forums! What sort of stuff have you worked on in the past? Any exciting projects in the pipe line? |
| | Just to add to what the others have said, define the width and height on the canvas element itself as opposed to in CSS files. When defining it in a CSS file, it behaves strangely, and can result in a blurry canvas drawing. |
| | A web browser is essentially an HTML viewer, it interprets HTML and CSS and renders a display based upon this. I'm not aware of any software application that solely displays HTML and CSS without it containing the features of a fully fledged browser, however you might want to look into … |
| | Re: Hello Friend Welcome to the forums, it's good to see a new face. (Just a tip though, make sure you double check that you are posting in the correct forum, it's an easy mistake but this should be in Community Introductions. Should also mean you get more detailed help to any questions …  |
 | Re: sql delete Yep, as code_rum has suggested the problem is likely to be caused by a mispelling of a variable. In the future, a tip to debugging such errors is to either echo out the variables when you get an error (and see if it is null, or has the expected value), … |
 | No, I wouldn't buy an SSL security. As you've pointed out, you aren't handling any personal details and therefore there isn't really a need for encryption, especially considering your site is only just starting out. Furthermore, the amount of processing time required to handle SSL/TLS traffic is significantly higher than … |
| | Are you still connected to a DNS server? Can you browse the web from another computer? Open up Command Prompt and perform a traceroute, try pinging the DNS server and see if it is responding, and try performing a NSLookup. That should tell you at which point the packets are …  |
| | This is a common mistake that people make, you need to define a 100% area in both your Body and Overall in your CSS like this: *{ height: 100%; } body{ height: 100%; } #DIV{ height: 100%; } Give that a try and let us know how it goes! That … |
| | `gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);` That shall give you the servers IP, then you can use the same `$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];` to get the names of computers that connect to the server. To get the IPs of computers on the LAN, then they must connect to the server in question. The Manuals are your friend! [PHP.net](http://php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyaddr.php)  |
| | To Daniweb Administrators, I've just found a website which appears to be mining Daniweb data, by this I mean it has an exact replication of articles posted on Daniweb including the same usernames as those relating to members who posted content. The website is [Cyberzhub.com](http://www.cyberzhub.com) I thought I probably should … |
 | Not any sort of cable I've ever seen, could it be some kind of proprietary cable from a printer or some kind of camera or something? It appears that one of those is a USB, but it might just be the photograph? |
| | That has got to be the longest sentence I have ever seen, and I couldn't unfortunately understand a word of it. Could you rephrase it please (bullet pointing it might help), stating what problem you are having and what you want it to do. From what I gather, you want … |

 | As the comment suggests, it isn't a genuine version of Windows. It has been known for some scam viruses to trick you into thinking this and providing you with a fake link to 'purchase' a genuine copy of Windows or it is in fact, a fake version. Where did you …  |
| | If a file is corrupt then unfortunately it is corrupt. Simply removing the malware isn't going to magically cause the file to re-assemble themselves and the problem goes away. What you're going to need to do initially is make sure you have definetly removed all traces of the virus, this … |
 | Hello Violet, glad to see that you finally managed to recover your data, after your previous post! I can't think of any reason for it to change the voltage, consider there are two different slots for the different sized HDDs. As you are using a 3.5" HDD I wouldn't worry … |
 | Re: Print Command Ok, two things as both of you don't seem to have read the [rules](http://www.daniweb.com/community/rules) of Daniweb. Firstly towards akkbkht, please can you show us what you have done so far so we know which bit you are stuck on specifically. Daniweb isn't designed for people to do your homework on. … |
 | I'm not really sure what you're asking, however since any content that is displayed to the browser by PHP is HTML, you would create a link as you would in HTML. So it would be `<a href = "/LINK.php" > Donate </a>` |
| | So, I've always found this bit difficult, and therefore I was wondering what others do in regards to the topic of Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policies and legal mumbo jumbo. The cost of hiring a lawyer to write such legal information for websites is often extremely expensive and therefore it … |
| | Re: Anonymous FTP As mrvijayakumar touched on briefly, it is where you access an FTP server that doesn't require a username or password, or has a default set of credentials to login to. They are sometimes called Public FTP Servers for this reason, because anyone can use them without requiring explicit details. It … |
 | It is all up to personal preference, some people like it and some people don't. Personally I think they collect too much information, however I won't dispute that they have one of the biggest search indexes available which some find extremelly useful. If you want a list of decent search … |
 | Re: profile page It should however be pointed out that all queries should take the form of the newer, MySQLi and prepared statements for security.  |
| | Unfortunately without those connectors I don't believe there is much you can do. Do you have an image to show us how bad the damage is?  |
| | Re: Eurovision Watching it at the moment, not sure how that Romanian contestant got those notes that high? Hearing it in the background I was sure it was a woman in parts. |
| | Yep, as others have said you need to be running some form of mail server. The simplest you could probably do is to run a relay email server and download something like sSMTP. A relay email server is essentially one which rides on the back of a proper email server. … |
 | Anything which is handled client side, this being HTML, CSS and JavaScript are needed to be sent to the viewers computer so that it can be interpreted by the browser. This means that it shall always be viewable by other people unless you enforce some sort of encryption or code … |
 | Sessions need some form of server side scripting language to run, and therefore you can't end them with only HTML. What you can do however is have the HTML hyperlink go to a second page, such as a PHP page containing the following: `session_destroy();` What that code would do is … |
| | I was struggling to find a good place to put this one, should it go in the Linux forums, should it go in the Windows forums? Anyway, networking seemed like as good a place as any so here goes: I'm currently setting up a SAMBA file server which I am … |

| | Re: networking Networking is simply the joining of two or mor computers together, so that they can communicate with each other. Within networking, you have different types of topologies such as star and bus. These topologies are the way that the computers are connected together.
