Hello everyone, I was thinking about starting a new web app to teach myself php. I was wondering if anyone had a good recommendation for a php IDE for Linux. Code completion, coloring, symbolic debugger are a must. I don't necessarily mind if I have to pay for one, as long as it is worth the money. I've googled and found many, but I wanted to ask the community for personal preferences...

Anyone have any good suggestions?

Lately whenever I am checking my blog stats in PubSub, I am getting “blog.taragana.com” has not been active in the past 30 days.. blog.taragana.com has been very much active during this time.

I can't connect to any websites on my backup desktop anymore. It seems to have suddenly stopped, and I'm not sure why. It worked a few hours ago.. and now, nothing.

I think it has to do with some windows updates that I ran on it, because after they installed is when I had the problem. Afterwards, I can no longer connect to anything. I tried firefox and IE, and I tried to ping google.com but got nothing.

There are no device conflicts with the netcard.

I tried to uninstall the windows updates and my desktop started to look a bit funky.. I may have uninstalled the wrong ones. :) The desktop icons were all pink and weird looking.. I tried to backup to yesterday's system restore, but that didn't get me back on the net.

After an hour or so of messing with system restore and testing the LAN cable on my laptop (it connected fine).. I figured.. what the hell, I don't have anything on this computer anyways.. and reinstalled windows and downloaded the latest drivers for the net card (which I had to do from my laptop and transfer them via flash drive).

That didn't work either.

I've tried running the LAN cable straight from the modem to the computer rather than through the router, and that didn't work.

I shut off the computer / router / cable modem, and turned them back on in reverse order.. nothing.

I don't understand why reinstalling windows didn't work if it truely was the windows update that did it. But if it wasn't the update, what was it? I've tried three different known working LAN cables, so it's not the cable.. and I bypassed the router, so I don't see how it could be the router. And I'm sending this message via my laptop on the same network, so it shouldn't be the cable modem's fault. If it's the NIC, then the updated drivers should have done something.. or it should be giving me some sort of conflict.

Under the network connections/local area connection status it says connected. When I click repair it says: "The following steps of the repair operation failed: renewing the IP address."

So.. any ideas? :)

So I'm trying to reinstall iTunes and I'm having a lot of problems with it.

All the support sites for the software point back to eachother. Here's what the error message is that I'm getting.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/enflamedphoenix/1.png

So I googled that and saw that it's an issue with installshield. So I go to the installshield site at http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q110641 and see how to fix the problem. So I go to the place where you fix the problem and follow the instructions at http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108322.

Ironically enough, that causes the original error again. After the first error in iTunes shows up, I get this error: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/enflamedphoenix/2.png

I've uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime. I've used spybot and adaware and antivir to check for spyware or viruses. I've registered files per the installshield website. I've used Windows Installer to delete any quicktime or itunes installer files. I just can't seem to get it to work. I don't know what else to do. I would like to be able to use my ipod haha

If anyone has any advice for me to try?

...my brain has decided that it can't remember what a circle is. Worse yet, the internet has no definition for "circle," or else my ability to use google search has terribly degraded.

Two intensely, incredibly stupid questions, for which I apologize profusely before we even begin. Both refer to a winform* I have to rebuild thanks to an executive-level decision to change the structure of its underlying table. This winform has a large number of databound controls, all of which tie to one bindingsource and its tableadapter. (This, BTW, is in VS 2005 Standard.)

* i.e., "winform" as opposed to "webform".

1. Two of the controls ar DateTimePickers, dtpEffective and dtpExpiration. All of the other simple controls are changing every time the value of the "main" control (cboName) is changed, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the correct property to set to get the DTPs to change from their default values of '1/1/1900' and '[insert current date here]'. Presently, both Text and Value are set to be bound to the table column that contains the date in question; I have tried it with just Text and just Value bound, and have gotten similar results with each of those options. What's the obvious binding I'm missing to get the DTPs to change with everything else?

2. One of the simple controls is txtID (not surprisingly, a text box containing an ID number). The complex control-- there's only one-- is a datagridview, dgRates. At present, dgRates vomits up the entire CombinedRateData table when the form runs. This makes sense, because I have not incorporated a WHERE clause into the Fill() query. Here's brainfart #2: I can't remember how to turn "txtID.Text" into a parameter that the query will understand, because I am entirely too sleepy, and every time I search for this on the web, I end up back at Microsoft's "How to create a master/detail form using two datagridviews" walkthrough. (Which is cool, but not applicable.)

Thank you, and again, you have my humble apologies for consulting you on such trivial matters. My brain has just decided to switch itself off this afternoon, and I can't kick it back into gear.

I have a Gateway laptop with Windows XP. One day, the wireless in our apt. was working fine, but it "flickered" out for a second, and then my computer refused to reconnect to it. My roomate's went back on no problem, but mine, nope.

It can see the wireless, but it refuses to connect to ours, saying it cannot acquire a network address. Now, here's the weird part. I can connect to anyone else's, aka all the unsecured wireless within good range in our building, it finds those no problem and lets me connect, and I went home this weekend and it connected right up with no problems to my dad's wireless.

I am computer illiterate, so any suggestions need to be said in layman's terms, please. I'm thinking it has something to do with the IP addresses, but i'm not quite sure where this problem lies and have NO clue how to fix it. I've googled it, and there's plenty of solutions, but I have no clue how to even start! Help!

My neighbor's son has apparently locked their family computer.
A dialog box has been brought up indicating that the computer is "locked" and requires a password to continue.  However, nothing appears in the box when my neighbor tries to type in the password.  Google has brought up multiple ways to lock a workstation down, but none of them seem to present the same behaviors as what's happened to my neighbor.  Does anyone have experience with behaviors like this?

As an aside, this might be a virus or spyware, as it seems to exhibit a normal behavior in an abnormal way.

Can any one tell me what this error means

"UNEXPECTED_DATA_AFTER_ADDRESS@.SYNTAX-ERROR.: "

It appears in the email that is received. Sort of. One guy out of about 40 people sees this error. I cant reproduce the error on my systems so its a shot in the dark. I searched Google for the error, but none of the sites listed an explaination what it means or what the solution is. The error appears at the top of the email's content.

Oh, and even though the email is received and the content is there, this guy is freaking out...

Hello. New here. And I was just wondering: is there a way to keep your search features from recording all your typos or at least to temporarily erase them so that you can begin anew? The reason I ask is because I found it annoying that Windows XP records every typo you make you go to search for a particular person, site, or community on here in general. So far I've cleaned out my prefetch folder and deleted all my cookies, files, & history too; none of which had worked so far. Somehow I would think that it's an option that's similar to the clear search feature in the Yahoo/Google searchbars, but I honestly wouldn't know.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I am also tempted to delete Windows Msger, but will this cause my computer some major problems if I do?

My employer wants to start generating PDFs from our PHP management system. I'm still pretty new to really 'doing things' with PHP and the PDF documentation I looked at on the online manual lacks clarification on almost every command for it.

I'm wondering if someone has an idea of where I can read something of substance on the subject. My google results turned up a few web design tutorials - but they are based on depreciated code.

Specifically I need to learn how to open a PDF file as a template only with added data from form/mysql information.
