i've been using pair networks to host my html only page for www.fablesoft.com for a few years now, but i'm going to need php hosting soon and would rather not pay upwards of $20 just to have php enabled.. i've come across doteasy.com for $9.95 a month... but i dunno, any suggestions? any horror stories?

one thing i can say for pair is that they are RELIABLE, not that my silly software site needs ultra-reliability hosting or anything, but that's a nice aspect of pair.

Hello! Sorry if this is an inappropriate place to post this, I'm in a hurry and other places have been little help as of yet.

I need advice. I am trying to create e-cards. I have the images, I need a way of sending them to people. This is for a friend's site that I'm building, and unfortunately she'd really like it within the next two weeks, so I'm trying to find something reletively easy.

I have found many tutorials on the web - this one seemed fairly straightforward with the exception of the MS Access database. I am new to databases of any kind, and don’t have MS Access. I’d like to be able to convert it to PHP but don’t even have a clue how. I did this tutorial as well, but when I used the PHP file that came with it, no text would appear in the card. When I replaced the PHP file with a new one that supposedly fixes that issue from the message forums, I got an error that a lot of users on the site got, but all of them fixed it without explaining how. I am very new to PHP and don’t know how to edit it correctly. I’ve included the PHP file under a cut tag at the end of the post just in case any of you can see what’s wrong with it out of context.

In theory I’d like to find either a very basic tutorial or something I can plug my images/info into, if such a thing exists. Thanks in advance for your help, it’s very much appreciated.




I have this error "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CASE or T_DEFAULT or '}" on line 9. I only included the first part of the text after HTML,HEAD, & TITLE since the error is somewhere in line 9. I’ve tried switching the quotes around and using single quote marks instead of double quotes, etc, etc.


$ENum = $_GET["ENum"];
$EcardText = $_GET["EcardText"];
switch ($ENum) {

   case '1':
   $goto = "Ecard1.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=1";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

   case '2':
   $goto = "Ecard2.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=2";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

   case '3':
   $goto = "Ecard3.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=3";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

   case '4':
   $goto = "Ecard4.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=4";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

   case '5':
   $goto = "Ecard5.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=5";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

Here is the gist of some project we are working on

1) ping defined machines

we have a ping.c program based on stevens but slightly modified so as
to suit our project needs , it is basic and only verbose mode has been
provided.

- It outputs to screen if run in verbose mode as ./ping -v localhost 32 2
here 32 is packet length and 2 is the number of packets to be sent for
ICMP echo reply
-we compiled as cc ping.c -o ping

2) portscan and portcheck

we scan all ports via portscan.c program that will scan ports
specified as argiments from start port to end port.
It connects to ports and returns success else error thats all

3) pingme file

this has the hostnames or addresses in dot notation that define whom
to ping upon .

4) pinger shell script

This shell script logs to /var/www/html and file created in pingme.html
-executes the programs mentioned above and basically reads args from
pingme file for the programs.
- the output is logged to html file
-execute as ./pinger

5) open in browser
we open http://localhost/pingme.html in browser



Results is as below

Statistics for ping on Mon Dec 13 21:57:51 IST 2004 from machine
localhost.localdomain

Hostname Reachable? Port 80 Port 21
localhost: yes yes nope

Details:
done:
* ping
* portcheck
* portscan
* script to integrate all components
- add html output

todo for networking project:
* network congestion check
* run all periodically
* add eye-candy to html output

Now this is project specifications we created

Implementation of a network status monitor that can perform these steps

1) ping all defined machines in the network from time to time, and
alert (by an indicator on a web page or screen) when some machine is
down
(2) periodically check HTTP and FTP ports of important machines (like
your intranet server) to verify that services are running and
responding properly
(3) can check if there is any networking problem like ping delay or
HTTP server responding slow
(4) sysadmins can add custom service ports (other than HTTP/FTP) to
their checklist
(5) your application will then check if those ports are open from time to time

1,2,4,5 are done so far ...for 3rd step we think some network
congestion algorithm is needed and implementing it is needed. but
simulation of congestion in lan is going to be tough right...any
solutions ideas.....;)

What more features we can add to this project to make it look l33t and
impressive ....please do suggest some ideas.

Deadline is approaching so please hurry....thanks again.

I can't have SSI in my subdirectories according to my hosting company unless I enter in a few lines of code into the .htaccess file. Simple right, you open it in vi, then edit, and save! Yay it's working, but it's not working. I tried to alter the /var/www/html/ .htaccess file, but it doesn't work. I am not sure why it does because I have tried putting the lines of before and after their code. Then again, there are several other .htaccess files I could edit, but that doesn't make since either. I sent them a message about this, and I will expect an answer in 3-7 days. *roll* Granted, it's not like my page is credit sheerly on SSI, but I do use it for a few simple scripts like the date, time, and modification date.

Anyone have a clue?

This is the lines of code I am to enter:

AddType text/html .shtml 
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml 
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*


order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all


order deny,allow

I hope you don't mind me asking this here (seems a good a place as any, in my opinion), but I've got a quick question.

Can anyone offer some suggestions on a good PHP-based blogging script? It just needs to work for me (meaning it doesn't have to be community-oriented). All I really need is a subject, entry, basic archives, comments, post icons, html formatting (but auto newlines would be handy), music, moods, screening (security), and ... that's about it. Sounds longer when you write it out.

I've looked over Bloxsom, and it looks good, but it's only in Perl. I've seen a couple of Bloxsoms in PHP, but not sure what to use...

I've also seen PHPBBlog, or whatever it's called. Anyone have an opinion on that?

Of course, like a true PHP Guru, I suppose I should build one myself.

For the first time in god-knows-how-long, I have uploaded a new layout for my website. Please, please, I implore you all to follow this link:

http://www.sweetfrenchbread.com/index5.html...

...read my "test run" notes on the main page, click around a little, and let me know how it is displaying with your montior, screen resolution, browser, etc. It represents my first attempt at writing any javascript stuff, so it is quite likely that it won't be displaying correctly for everyone. Screenshots are appreciated, too.

Thanks, guys!

Thanks muchly for your help!

Hello!
I need to write a vbScript function on the client that is called either after or during the server-side Page_Load event. My boss seems to think I can just throw in script tags, like in old ASP, in the middle of my form and it will fire when it renders the html.
However, it is not firing, but giving me the error:
Statement cannot appear outside method body.

I am assuming I have to put my script in an event of some sort, which leaves me with the page_load, which I cannot use, and a control's event, which I cannot use.

Does anyone know if what my boss is saying is true???

Thanks.
