Ok. Let's say that I am a complete dummy w/ absolutely no knowledge of computer languages whatsoever. My question is: what can I create when I do master one? I know that some are created to make 'web applications,' like Java, and others are meant for algorithms. So assuming that the computer is, in itself, a means to end, what would be the logical end to the experience of working with a computer language preferrably something meant for algorithims and/or doesn't have a web-based purpose like Java or HTML.

I am running MySQL 4.1.22 on Windows 2000, and I'm having problems with European characters.

When data is input through the software that uses it, European characters are converted into strange symbols that may or may not display properly in a web context. For instance É looks like É in the database, ü comes out as ü.

When I input the data through SQLyog, everything from the first European character to the end of the string is cut off.

I am using utf8_general_ci, which is how the software set up the database. What am I doing wrong, or what else should I be looking for?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I run a fan website and I'm currently having a problem with the navigation menu in one section.

The section is PHP/MySQL based (the other parts of the site are static HTML at the moment) and can be found here: http://www.selenayhaven.com/reviews/ It's the green left-hand navigation side bar that has problems reported. It uses unordered lists and CSS to acheive the 'button' appearance, following a tutorial from A List Apart. It works absolutely fine on all the instances of Firefox, Opera and IE that I've tested it on and other users report that it works in Safari. However, one user reports that the menu doesn't work when she clicks on it and I honestly cannot work out why.

Menus in the rest of the site (e.g. http://www.selenayhaven.com/gate/index.html) were constructed slightly differently (no lists) and my user has no problem with them. I decided to do them differently when I set up the database area because I thought it would be better from an accessibility POV - how wrong I was, apparently!

My query is whether anyone else using Firefox cannot use the problem navigation menu and whether anyone can suggest how I might be able to fix it. I'm about to start sorting out the site to accommodate IE7, so I want to make sure that I'm starting with a site that works properly before making yet more changes. My problem user has tested the site in both Firefox 1.5 and 2.0.

Hello! This is my first post on LiveJournal.
I'm making a website for the group that I'm in, and I have a little bit of self-taught PHP & MySQL experience, but I'm up to the point of making the administration section so we can update the site without any hassle.

All I need is a little bit of a push to start me rolling (so to speak)
Any help is appreciated and will get a spot in the credits for the site.

What I need is:
*Admin Login.
*Posting Support.
*Managing of posts.
*Page authoring (eg... projects.php?id=XX (where 'XX' is projects name)).
*News authoring.

(MUST INCORPORATE MYSQL DATABASE!)

Any little bit of code would be great, just as long as it gets me started!
Thank you!

I have a weird thing happening in one of my scripts. A statements that looks like this:

$this->updateFooBar('BarFoo', null, null, NOTIF_TYPE_CHANGE);

Gives the following result in the browser:

Fatal error: Method name must be a string in /usr/local/web/a/b/c/d/MyFile.class.php on line 141

My first guess was that I've accidentally define()d updateFooBar, but I haven't. It's a class method inherited from the parent class. Any ideas?

greetings!

i am a former arabic student that would really like to practice her arabic by watching a certain lebanese channel that, while it luckily has a webtv option on its website, is for SOME REASON not accessible to the us. its definitely not for political reasons, as this is the entertainment/bullshitty/rich-youth channel, very superficial and known for it. i believe its because the channel is available int he us with direct tv-- so maybe there's a non competition thing.

while direct tv is expensive, the webtv option at the channel's website is cheap and convenient! but as soon as they register my ip as coming from the us, the programs don't get through.

is there any way around this? i thought of some proxy thing but i haven't had success in finding something good. either it doesnt work or its too slow. is there anyway to just disguise hte isp? any reliable and non virusy programs? if its a proxy, i guess it needs to be a fast connection, cause it has to allow for streaming video.

any ideas are very welcome! thanks so much for your time and thought energy!

best,

lisa

Hello everyone.

I've shown my website before (a couple of months ago now I think .. yikes!) but I've finally gotten around to -almost- finishing it (it doesn't have my web work up yet, but it will.. i promise!).

In any case, I'm now very tired, but feeling quite accomplished.

Now, please burst my bubble: http://www.carlavoorhees.com

1) Can anyone recommend any reliable and not too expensive UK based webhosting companies?
(only hosting, no domain name registration needed)


Necessary features:
- Linux/Apache server
- at least 150MB webspace
- bandwith/traffic on a normal scale, the more the better *g*
- PHP (version 4 okay, 5 better)
- at least one MySQL database
- FTP access and several email accounts should be a given

A plus, but not really neccessary:
- .htaccess
- cgi/perl
- shell access

2) DreamHost as a webhost for a small business website?
I do have a DreamHost account, mostly for dabbling around and trying out stuff, and love all their features (and low prices). But although I've never had any problems so far, hearing every now and then about down times or bad customer service makes me a bit reluctant to recommend them to a client for hosting their small business website. Opinions, anyone?

Thanks! :-)
