I've just started working with PHP and MySQL, and I'm trying to create a table in MySQL. If I've got this right, I'm trying to do so by going to my host's SQL MyAdmin page and typing in mysql_query("CREATE TABLE example( id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY(id), name VARCHAR(30), …

I run a website where I periodically post articles. I'd like to add a timestamp/datestamp to each article showing the post date (the upload date, I assume, would be the logical choice). I had already asked for advice on this topic; unfortunately, the result is a blank. Literally. Here's an …

I'm not sure I understand what defines a row on a page, or the limit of rows. Are these standard HTML table rows, or what?

I've got a website with a splash page where users select one of two languages in which to access the page, and have the option of ticking a "remember me" checkbox, which would write a cookie. On subsequent visits to the splash page, the cookie would be read, and the …

Every Mac comes bundled with iMovie, a part of the iLife suite. Import your video into iMovie, trim it, and export it.

I made an Edge animation with a stage which is, natively, 1600x900px. I've included it in an `<iframe>` linking to the HTML file outputted by Edge, on the page where it's to be displayed; as not all displays support this resolution, I wanted to use CSS media queries to resize …

This is probably the wrong forum section for this post, but it's the closest I could find. Is there any way to host two websites on a single, 1and1 hosted, server, and have them point to two individual URLs?

I'm trying to create a PHP script, which would be added to .php files (articles) on my website. This script would automatically add the article in question to a previously created database (and would subseqgently be used to timestamp articles). What would a script like that look like?

Try hooking it up to the AC, and remove the battery. Then, using a multimeter, see if the laptop's actually supplying power to the battery.

I'm a PHP newbie, and I need to replace my current code for linking to a stylesheet (which looks like `<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" type="text/css"> `) by a PHP alternative. If it's important, the code I'm using which will link to it is [php-mobile detect](http://code.google.com/p/php-mobile-detect/). The structure I wanted to use …

I notice that in some browsers, on some OSs, a field in a form gets a colored border. Is there any way to use CSS3, or possibly a JavaScript, to change the border color (as one can change the text highlight color on a given HTML page using CSS3)?

I want to include a .php file, containing a menu bar, in all my pages. Thing is, some of these pages are at different levels: for example, on might be in the root directory, another might be in root/news, another in root/news/2012, and so on. What can I do to …

I'd like to add a timestamp to articles I upload to my website, which reads the time and date the article was uploaded. I've got a database, as well as a working connect.php. In this database, I've created a table with a "date" field (type: date). What can I do …

I recently decided to try out a simple PHP/MySQL pagination script I found online. After replacing all the required data and creating a connect.php file with my db information, I got a bunch of errors on the page with the script: here they are, in order: Warning: include(connect.php) [function.include]: failed …

I know little PHP, but even less MySQL, and my host doesn't allow remote database connections (for example, from Dreamweaver), so in addition to being confusing to me, database management is impractical. Is there any way to put a timestamp on an article automatically, without resorting to MySQL tables?

I'm new to PHP, and trying to create a paginated layout. Could someone walk me through the easiest way to do so?

Which game is it? It's possibly that the game isn't compatible with Mac OS X. I suspect this is the case as, being something of a gamer myself, I've noticed that most games come as .app files in a .dmg, and not an .iso, which seems to be what you're …

Before I answer your question, I have to say — ethically, as a graphic designer — that Papyrus is just terrible; it is, much like Comic Sans, appropriate in only very few situations, but over-used to the point of appearing in completely inappropriate places. But to each his own. Papyrus …

I'm a novice to PHP and MySQL, and would like to create a mailing list on my site, which can send HTML documents (basically styled to match the actual website). Can someone point me towards a good tutorial, or show me how to do so?

I can see plenty of practical applications for making a whole `<div>` a link.

Internet Explorer is based on the aging, and largely obsolete, Triednt parsing engine. Unfortunately, rather than re-building the engine from scratch, or starting anew with another engine, Microsoft leaves much of the code in the current Triedent, the same as it was half a decade ago. Another problem is that …

I'm very new to C++; can a program be started with anything other than `int main`? And what, exactly, is the purpose of the `main` part, anyway?

Whenever I try to connect to my website over my network (from any device), my browser gives me an error saying that it could not connect to the host. I've tried a proxy, as well as downorjustme, and it works fine. I've recently performed some database work, nothing too important, …

I've recently found that 1and1, my host, doesn't allow for remote access to MySQL databases and tables, and access is only possible via a slow and cumbersome web UI. Is there any workaround? I don't want to have to spend ten minutes browsing PHPMyAdmin every time I need to timestamp …

I recently converted all my .html files to .php, and while the stylesheet they're linked to (which hasn't changed) works almost perfectly, the <h1> through <h6> tags (headings) don't work with the new .php files. The font appears the same size as the body, which is too small to be …

I recently converted all my website's files to .php, including my index.html and 404 page. Everything worked fine until I clicked a dead link, and no 404 page came up. Naturally, I figured I forgot to update the .htaccess file. After doing so and re-uploading it, every page on my …

I've just started working with PHP, and one of the first things I want to do is add a timestamp to my article template in Dreamweaver, so that each article I post automatically has the post date. How would one go about doing this?

I just started using HTML5 in my documents, and at this point, I'm missing XHTML's <center> tag. I've tried using text-align to center the element, but it doesn't seem like it works on .lbi files. Any advice on how to center an .lbi library element?
