Trying to find resources for learning - web site building
Date: 06/28/05
(Computer Geeks) Keywords: web, google
Hello,
I'm making a web site for my school over the summer, and I would like my users to be able to update their pages themselves, without having to resort to FTPing. Most of the teachers are even worse off than I am in computer knowledge, so what I'm looking for is a way for them to log in, enter what they want to show up in a field, and then submit.
I've spent today trying to find what I should be looking for, if you get my meaning, but have had no luck. I simply don't have enough knowledge to know what I should be typing into Google. I would be immensely greatful if anyone here knows of any resources online for learning how to accomplish the above.

Optimising MySQL
Date: 06/28/05
(PHP Development) Keywords: mysql, database, sql, google
I'm working on a site at the moment and I'm trying to optimise the MySQL queries, to place less of a strain on the server and make generally neater code. I'm currently using this technique to pull the last 10 topics flagged as news from the database:
$query = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM frm_topics t WHERE t.tpc_news = '1' AND t.tpc_news_mod_id > 0 ORDER BY t.tpc_sticky DESC, t.tpc_time DESC LIMIT 10", $_GLOBALS[ 'sql' ] );
Then in the loop created by $results = mysql_fetch_array( $query ) using a second query to pull the content of the post:
$news_sql = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM frm_posts p WHERE p.pst_tpc_id = '".$results[ 'tpc_id' ]."' ORDER BY pst_time ASC LIMIT 1", $_GLOBALS[ 'sql' ] );
Now, although this works, it currently uses 11 queries, plus various others I'm using to create each page; so I'm trying to find a neater solution. I've tried some tutorials on sub-queries found on Google, to no avail. The following works if there's only one news topic but falls over if there's more:
$query = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM frm_posts p, frm_topics t WHERE p.pst_tpc_id = ( SELECT tpc_id FROM frm_topics t WHERE t.tpc_news = '1' AND t.tpc_news_mod_id > 0 ORDER BY t.tpc_sticky DESC, t.tpc_time DESC LIMIT 10 ) AND t.tpc_id = p.pst_tpc_id ORDER BY p.pst_time ASC LIMIT 1", $_GLOBALS[ 'sql' ] );
I'd really appreciate it if anyone could lend a hand or point me in the right direction.

Failure of PHP to work with Apache / MySQL
Date: 07/03/05
(PHP Community) Keywords: php, mysql, sql, google, apache
I turned on my computer last night and found that PHP was refusing to communicate with MySQL - I could make MySQL work through the command line and through Perl, but not through PHP. I checked everything that I could think of and everything I could find on google without any joy. I have spent about 8 hours messing with this now and I'm getting nowhere. I've uninstalled and reinstalled php & mod_php so many times today that I've lost count. My latest idea was to uninstall php, mod_php, and apache. I've reinstalled Apache, php, and mod_php (in that order) but now PHP refuses to work with Apache. I've added APACHE2_OPTS="-D PHP5" to the apache config in /etc/conf.d/apache2 but it hasn't made any difference.
I'm running Gentoo with Apache 2.0.54, PHP 5.0.4 (along with mod_php 5.0.4), and MySQL 4.0.24.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can make it work again as I'm going insane here and feel like throwing the computer out of the window...

FTP Problem in Windows XP
Date: 07/06/05
(Computer Help) Keywords: google
Hi,
I used to be able to FTP in my laptop. However, my HDD crashed recently and I had it replaced. Since then I am unable to FTP at all. I tried using 3rd party FTP client like CuteFTP and BestFTP, I tried using IE, I tried using cmd but none worked for me. I would be connecting to the remote host and about 20 seconds later, I would receive the message "Remote host had closed the connection" or the FTP client would be trying to re-connect to the remote host again.
I've tried uninstalling SP2 on my Windows XP. I've tried reinstalling SP2 on my Windows XP. I've tried disabling all firewall. I've tried adding port 21 and my FTP clients as the exceptions in the firewall setting. I've used passive mode in the FTP clients. I've googled but none of the solutions helped.
More information:
Computer: Toshiba Tecra 9100 (I've tried emailing Toshiba for help, and they replied "Toshiba Global Support Centre do not support notebook which are out of warranty." So mean!)
OS: Windows XP with SP2 installed
Thank you for your helps in advance! :) Much appreciated!

Free Site Search
Date: 07/06/05
(PHP Community) Keywords: web, hosting, google
Hi,
I'm looking for a free site search feature.
Requirements:
Standard search engine features for a specific web site.
Remotely hosted (no CGI/Scripting of any kind on the actual web site)
Free
No advertising
Bit of a tall order due to the last two. Google do it, with targetted adsense, atomz do it with targetted adsense-like advertising. Both of which are (duh) providing links to our comptetitors at the top of site search on our site (not good). Company of course doesn't want to 1) pay for scripting support on the hosting or 2) pay google 2k a year for adsense free site search.
Anyone know of anything?
Cheers

Network printer did work, now doesn't
Date: 07/12/05
(Computer Geeks) Keywords: google
(UPDATE: Still looking for suggestions, as the first one didn't seem to be the problem. I left in the part about the lightning, but I really don't think that is that problem because I haven't been able to access the printer since we first replaced the router, about a month before the lightning.)
I hope there's not something painfully obvious that I'm missing here, but I've gone through all the troubleshooters on my computer, and unless I'm using the wrong search terms, a Google search gets me the same suggestions that I got from the troubleshooters. If you have a solution for me, that would be perfect, but if you can at least give me some ideas for other things to try, I would appreciate that just as much.
I am using a 4 year old Toshiba laptop (although that probably doesn't matter) with Windows XP. It is connected to the internet through a wireless connection to the main family computer. The internet works fine, and always has. A couple of months ago, however, our router died (I don't remember what brand it was) and we got a new one (Linksys). Since then, I haven't been able to connect to the printer. Several weeks ago, we had a lightning storm and a lightning strike hit very close to the house. It blew out our router, our cable modem, and the ethernet card in the main computer. We bought a new Linksys router, but I still can't send anything to the printer. The ethernet card is still blown, but the modem is now connected through a USB adapter.
I don't know how much of that information is useful, but basically, I can't figure out how to print to that printer. My computer tells me that it can't detect the printer, and to make sure it is turned on and online. The printer is shared, and my parents have run the network setup wizard on the main computer. I've tried running the wizard on my computer, but it insists on bridging my connections and that makes the internet stop working entirely. I don't remember having to do anything complicated to connect to the printer before...it seems like I just searched for it and it was there. Ideas? Thanks. :)
(P.S. My dad has a similarly aged Sony Vaio laptop that also used to be able to print remotely, but it can't either.)
