Widget Question
Date: 07/26/06
(WebDesign) Keywords: html, java, web
I was browsing An Inconvenient Truth website and found this neat "widget" - that's what they called it anyway - that could track how many sign-ups your own website has triggered.
Now I have no idea what a widget is except for those that are on the Mac so could someone help explain how it works? I know rudimentary Flash but I'm not sure if it is enough for this...
I signed up and they emailed me back the code below to be pasted in between the HTML code.
Is there any similar (simpler) script to help track "sign-ups" and then display the result automatically? Like the above? I would really appreciate any help or links pointing me to the right direction.
Thanks!

(Computer Geeks) Keywords: asp, web, google
I was wondering if anyone can assist me with this. I have to do a web page (in asp.net) that consumes of a web service that desplays the result on my site. For example, the site will provide live scores of some type of sporting event on the page, provide current weather conditions, provide sale information from a site like Amazon or Google, or present a map from Mapquest or another mapping site to a meeting. Something like that. If there is any way someone can assist me with this that would be appreciated. Thanks

Sigh
Date: 07/29/06
(Web Development) Keywords: php, web
Telecommuting is hell. First the web designer and me ( PHP/CGI/DB/server admin) sabotaged each other(concurrent ftp updates) most of yesterday killing any hope of meeting the deadline and now today I was going nuts because I couldn't figure out why the server wasn't automatically directing to index.htm but instead giving a directory listing instead. After numerous modifications to .htaccess "DirectoryIndex" with no result, I finally noticed that "index.htm" was spelt "Index.htm". At this point I decided I needed a beer and a cigarette. That said, were now 12 hours over the deadline.
Basically I am going to write up a list of guidelines for the designer on proper house keeping and file naming... but I was wondering if there is any suggestions for better collaborating between us besides calling each other or one of us working at the others domicile. Oh yeah, we just activated dreamweaver's check in/out system but I got this weird feeling the designer doesn't have it activated on her computer.
Oh yeah, Hello... I am new here.

Error reporting & Security
Date: 07/29/06
(Web Development) Keywords: security, web
Any problems with using error_log with parameter 1 (email) that I should be aware of? I just discovered it while researching something else and would like to abuse the hell out of it for production website. It would be nice to suppress all error messages and instead have them piped to a dedicated email address.
Other question... security. Any recommended reads, blogs, notes, what not on the subject? And I mean anything and everything.

ImageMagick
Date: 07/29/06
(PHP Community) Keywords: php, web
Hello,
I currently use Gallery, but would like to go back to a "hand-made" photo gallery web application. Instead of processing the images on my computer and uploading them to my server (which I did in the past), I'd like to use something like ImageMagick to create the thumbnails, etc.
I know that Gallery uses ImageMagick, and it doesn't have any issues making thumbnails currently, so I know it's there somewhere. I'm not very familiar with how it works, and I tried to write some code based on what I saw online (please take into account that I am only slightly above the novice stage of using php, so excuse any stupid errors I may have made):
$resize="-resize 600";
$convert="convert " . $resize . " " . $input_file . " " . $output_file;
exec($convert);
?>
So that $convert looks like: convert -resize 600 cow.jpg cow.jpg
What I ideally want is to resize the image down to 600px as the widest edge, do an unsharp mask, and save it into an album directory. Then I want to create a 150px thumbnail, do an unsharp mask, and save it into a subdirectory within the album folder.
Right now I'm not getting any error messages, and I'm not getting an altered image. I'm not getting anything, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. (I tried messing around with folder permissions and stuff but nothing worked.)
And here's a link to my phpinfo page just in case you need this for more information.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I just discovered it while researching something else and would like to abuse the hell out of it for production website. It would be nice to suppress all error messages and instead have them piped to a dedicated email address.
Other question... security. Any recommended reads, blogs, notes, what not on the subject? And I mean anything and everything.
Also, turns out I mistakingly posted this to another community by accident, so to save time... this is what I mean by error_log()
$link = mysql_connect("www.myServer.com","myAccount","password");
if($link == false)
{
$errMsg = "SITE: www.myServer.com\n";
$errMsg .= __FILE__ . "@" . __LINE__ ."\n";
$errMsg .= "Detail: Unable to connect to mysql server\n";
$errMsg .= "mysql_error: " . mysql_error() . "\n";
error_log($errMsg, 1, "errMsg@myOtherServer.com");
//then die or skip rest of script
}
And while I am on the subject, is there anything equivalent to c/c++ #define. I really miss that and it would come in handy with something like the above code.

These files will not delete.
Date: 07/29/06
(Computer Help) Keywords: web, google
I've tried using HijackThis to delete the following files, but they keep coming back (not immediately, usually the next day):
b3c6230b.exe
c4c4c003.exe
I've also tried using Pocket Killbox--no luck (although it seems to get rid of them for a longer time, they will come back). How do I get rid of these files permanently?
(PS I Googled the above files to see if I could find out what they were, exactly, and I only got two results. One was my entry here, from a few days before; and the other was my Daniweb thread from about a month ago. So what are these things?)

Image problems
Date: 07/30/06
(WebDesign) Keywords: html, web
I'm a hopeless novice using Dreamweaver MX to update a friend's site, Chrome Peeler Records, and if you click on the "order" link on the home page, my table diplays exactly the way I wanted it to except where are the images?
I'm using Fetch to upload, I'm on dial-up (I know! It sucks but I'm in the sticks.), the images were all saved in Photoshop's "Save for Web" setting and the largest one is 120 px wide (they're all small--just need to show thumbs), the "images" folder is in the site's folder on my HD along with the HTML files.
I only vaguely recall the "Managing Sites" portion of a condensed course I took back in November 2005 and the instructor's insistence on this being a very important factor. Yikes.
Help a newbie out!
P.S. I also checked the page in Safari and no images loaded.
