I need to revisit this issue, that is, firefox/mozilla and the scroll function on my touchpad not working. Like everyone else with this problem, I've tried the about:config, I've downloaded the updated driver for the touchpad, played with the settings on the "mouse" and the touchpad, all to no avail. The function works in absolutely every other program and browser on my computer (including Opera), but I get the little "scroll bar" icon and it refuses to move in firefox, save for once in a great while if I put the cursor directly on the page's scroll bar...

Any other suggestions?

I find it useful to have a list of HTML tags handy. Today for example I used it to find the strike-through tag. I used the list on CDI. Additionally it provides browser and standards compatibility information. Detailed information is one-click away. BTW: Are you WYSIWYG type? Personally even if I use WYSIWYG I tend to [...]

I want to make server-side scripts, but I have never done anything like this. So, I know very little about this subject.

I need advice on how to get started. More specifically, I need someone to show me how to make a simple website. And then, I think I can do the rest... I believe I can learn PHP by myself. I already know HTML, JavaScript, C, and some other languages. All I need is someone to show me how to start.

This is what I need:

I would like someone to show me step-by-step how to create a simple website which would have three things on it:

1. some text

2. an input textbox

3. a submit button

This website should do the following: When people visit the website and enter some text and click on submit, the browser should send the text to the server. The server then should save the information in a simple text file, and next time when someone clicks on the refresh button, this text should appear on the website at the top of the page. That's all.

I would like someone to assist me, to tell me how to create a website like this from scratch from start to finish.

I don't want to install PHP on my computer. I want to open an account at a remote server and learn how to make this simple website.

I need advice. Where should I open the account? What kind of language should I use? Should I learn Perl or PHP? Can I write the program in C? So, I have a lot of questions. Please help!

Hi all,

I'm trying to muddle through a site redesign of my website, and I've hit a stumbling block when it comes to the php file functions.

When I try to run the following script:



$string = '';
$filename = 'test2.php';

// file_put_contents ($filename, $string); --- Doesn't work on my version of php.

fopen ($filename, 'w');
fwrite ($filename, $string);
fclose ($filename);



The following happens: the file test.php is created with no data and permissions set at 644. The directory has permissions of 777 for testing purposes. I also get the following errors displayed onscreen:

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/name/public_html/dev/test.php on line 21
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/name/public_html/dev/test.php on line 22

What I want to happen is this: test2.php is created, with the string as the contents.

I'll build in some validators after I get this part working.

I'm using PHP Version 4.3.9, on Apache. It's a remote site, so I'm not sure that upgrading my version of php is a viable option.

Any ideas? Is there something I'm missing?

Hello, I'm new to Javascript and I have an assignment for class in which I'm having trouble checking to see if textboxes are blank and to alert to user with window.alert to tell them to enter information, check to see if certain text boxes are numeric from a certain number range, and to validate the correct format.



1. Create 2 standard HTML files called assignment5.htm and process.htm. The files should do the following:
a. assignment5.htm
i. Should be a form that’s action is set to “process.htm”, method is set to “GET”, with the following named textboxes formatted using a table:
1. FIRST_NAME
2. LAST_NAME
3. AGE
4. PHONE
ii. The ONSUBMIT event handler for the form should call a function named ValidateForm(). ValidateForm() should do the following:
1. Check to ensure FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, AGE, and PHONE are not blank.
2. If any of these textboxes are left blank, display an error message using the alert() function with the name of the item left blank and set focus to that text box using the focus() method of the text box left blank.
3. Ensure that the AGE text box contains a number between 1 and 150. If the age is not this value, display a message box with describing that an invalid number was entered for age and set focus to this text box.
4. Use the following regular expression to validate the PHONE text box. If it returns false, display a message box detailing that the phone number is invalid and must be in the format (xxx) xxx-xxxx.

/^\(?(\d{3})\)?[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{3})[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{4})$/

5. If all these conditions pass, return true and allow the form to go to process.htm.
b. process.htm
i. This page receives the information from the first page via the Querystring (URL). You will pull the information out of the document.location.search property and write the following to the browser:

Hello . You are years old. Your telephone number is .

Note: Everything in <> is from the assignment5.htm page.


c. HINT
i. Use the split(“&”) method off of the document.location.search string in order to break the search string into an array that has each of the name/value pairs in it.
ii. You can then use the split(“=”) method on each of the elements returned from above to get at the name/value (element 0 = name, element 1 = value).

Hi all...so, I have this Flash presentation to construct for a friend...

1. he wants the user to submit info registration to a flash form
2. the resulting page says "thank you, certificate of authentication has been sent"
3. he wants the jpg of the certificate emailed to the registrant as an attachment.

Do you know the action script/code to do this? it's only a mock up presentation; we would like to fake it as much as possible.

Could it be done with this:

Code:

on (release) { loadVariables("email.php",'POST'); javascript('alert("Thank you for contacting us.");'); }

---------------

PHP Code for email.php


$name = $_POST['Name'];
$email = $_POST['Email'];
$message = $_POST['Message'];

$name = stripslashes($name);
$email = stripslashes($email);
$message = stripslashes($message);

$rec_email = "info@yoursite.com";
$subject = "Online form submission";

$msg_body .= "Name: $name\n\n";
$msg_body .= "E-Mail: $email\n\n";
$msg_body .= "Comments: $message\n\n";
mail($rec_email, $subject, $msg_body);

-------------

And then could a $msg_body be HTML code that embeds the image?

Or could I possibly skip the PHP and use javascript? If so, could you possibly supply the code?

What is possibly the best way to do this? Any help is greatly appreciated thanks so much...

I just wrote a script, in XHTML, from the book, saved it as predefined.php, and could not get it to show.


The other day, I installed Apache 2.0 and PHP 5 on my computer.

I set my Apache up at c:\Apache2 as recommended. I also set C:\php5 as recommended.
I set up a folder at c:\webdocs, to save my files in.

I adjusted the httpd file in apache2/apache2/conf , and set Document root to c:/webdocs and Directory to c:/webdocs.

When I do a simple phpinfo.com script, it runs correctly.

However, I cannot seem to get my other scripts to work. I type them up, I save them in Notepad as All Files, .php extension.
I type it directly into my webbrowser (as with phpinfo), ala http://localhost/predefined.php , but its still not working.

And Apache is constantly running. Its automatic.

Am I missing something here?

What is the mose effective way of formatting html code so it won't be interpretted when it's posted to LJ?
something that would convert types brackets to "&lt;" and "&gt;" is what I'm looking for I guess. Sort of like Textile but more for having code show up as text.

I have come across a problem that is driving me mad. I have a php and MySQL CMS and I have a page that extracts the age content (html) out and plops it into the template file and all is sent back to the user. I have now come to the point when I would like to stop some php amongst the body html that is stored for each id in the database. The problem is how to have it recognised as php and then run.

So at the moment, I just extract the in from the database and copy it into a field: $body=$row['body'];

This is then in turn put in the template. I would however like to have this code run and then the result (so the html, plus whatever else has been generated in the middle) is then copied into a field ready for insertion into the template.

Does anyone know of a way to do this? I have seen ways that are meant to have worked, but as yet have not, but I don’t want to note them down as they may cloud people’s ideas.

Thanks for any help.
