I have only two questions.

1. I use Mozzila Firefox and everytime I attempt to access the avidgamers website, I get an error saying "Connection refused when attempting to access avidgamers.com". I was wondering if anyone has an explination to that, and could tell me how to fix it if possible.


2. I'm running a COMPAQ Presario 2246 on a k6 processor and only half the reccomended amount of memory for Windows 2000 (professional). I was wondering what kind of processor I should upgrade to and around how much it would cost for both the processor and some more memory (Believe me, I've seen snails move faster than this machine).

I am trying to execute a delete using a subquery but I keep getting the same error and google and mysql.com are both no use as to what the error actually means

My query is this

delete from exon where exon_id in(select exon.exon_id from exon left join exon_transcript on exon.exon_id = exon_transcript.exon_id where exon_transcript.exon_id is NULL);


and this is the error

ERROR 1093 (HY000): You can't specify target table 'exon' for update in FROM clause

do you have any ideas what I am doing wrong?

exon_transcript is a table which links the exon table with another table called transcript and there were a series of rows missing from exon transcript so the links weren't present

I have been able to use other methods to delete the links from transcript but I can't see any other way of deleting the links from exon

if you want to see the schema description have a look here

I finally have a design ready for creating my portfolio site.



Thumbnails of my work would take the place of the small boxes, and when you click on a thumbnail, the image would appear in the larger area, with a description of that piece beneath that.


The problem is that I don't know where to start. I haven't made a website in over a year and my mind is a complete blank. In the past I would have sliced this up in ImageReady, taken it into Dreamweaver, and gone from there. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks.

Right,

I've got a gallery on a simple site I made for a friends band (apologies in advance if the red is overwhelming)

http://fourworldtheory.com/gallery.php
It does it's job BUT when you click on a thumbnail the scroll bar jumps back to the beginning (I know this is because the page re-loads)Which is quite annoying.

I've been playing with this gallery
http://fourworldtheory.com/scroll_gallery.html
And it doesn't jump BUT I have to put all the images in the html first, which is very time consuming etc when there's so many images.

Does anyone know if I can combine the two as it were?
Have the php script load the images, then have the gallery that doesn't jump back to the beginning?

Posted this in webdev as well.

$d = opendir("/home/james/sites/fourworldtheory.com/images/pictures_of_us/thumbs/");
while(false !== ($f = readdir($d))) {
if($f == "." || $f == "..") continue;
print("\t . str_replace("50", "lg", $f) . "\"> alt=\"\"/>\n");
}
?>

Hi Everyone.
I’m hoping someone can help me out with some code. I have a script on my website to automatically email me visitor comments. Last night my web host disabled it, saying there was a vulnerability that hackers were exploiting. I’ve looked over the script, but I can’t seem to find the vulnerability.


$mail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t" ;
$mail_to = -- my personal email address --;
$mail_subject = "[Webpage Email] ";

$email = $_RESQUEST['useremail'];
$message = $_REQUEST['message'];
$mail_subject .= $_REQUEST['subject'];

if (!isset($referer)){$referer = $HTTP_REFERER;}

if (trim($message) != ''){
mail($mail_to,$mail_subject,$message,
"From: $useremail\r\n" .
"Reply-To: $useremail\r\n" .
"X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
$display = "Thank you for submitting an email.
Your message has been successfully sent.
Redirecting you to $referer in 5 seconds.";
$meta = "";
}
?>



They also site these logs as evidence of the hack
200.175.152.226 - - [27/Jul/2005:20:55:45 -0400] "POST /email.php?referer= HTTP/1.0" 200 2155 "http://www.aellalei.com/" "-"
202.106.124.32 - - [27/Jul/2005:20:57:02 -0400] "POST /email.php?referer= HTTP/1.1" 200 2167 "http://www.aellalei.com/" "-"
195.245.185.18 - - [27/Jul/2005:20:58:21 -0400] "POST /email.php?referer= HTTP/1.1" 200 2167 "http://www.aellalei.com/" "-"
69.118.168.253 - - [27/Jul/2005:21:02:43 -0400] "POST /email.php?referer= HTTP/1.0" 200 2501 "http://www.aellalei.com/" "-"



Also, I’m using a similar script to email users about updates. That script queries a database to get the user emails. Is it likely to have the same vulnerabilities?

About a week ago I made a post asking for references on PHP because I had just interviewed for a job at a web design firm and my lack of PHP knowledge was one of the things holding me down. Well, like I said, I spent all weekend studying PHP (thanks for all the references everyone!) and tearing apart existing PHP scripts until I was able to write my own scripts without using any reference. By Tuesday I had written a blog system using PHP and MySQL (complete with login authentication using sessions, add, edit and delete entries, and add or remove posters on the system, plus much much more...which, I'm pretty sure you would agree is a pretty easy task, but having only started learning PHP three days prior, I'm quite proud of myself).

Anyway, I went in for the second interview on Wednesday this week and showed them what I had accomplished over the four days between interviews.

This morning I got a call from them offering the job to me :o) I start on the 15th.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone for hooking me up with the PHP references.

Hey guys...

I've been quite busy finishing up my personal website, and finally i'm done. Sort of.. cause i know the best beta testing is after launch :P So i'm expecting some bugs to come up along the way.

So anyway, since some of you helped me a lot facing several issues that came up in this project, i'm posting this to ask for your opinions on the website. If you like it, if you don't, why, what would you change, etc.

Basically, i'm asking for some feedback. ;)

Thank you all in advance. Here's the link:

A few weeks ago, I asked about programming languages and which I should learn, and your reaction had me thinking that I could have offered more info about what I hoped to do with computers. My request was so vague that I can see why you found it difficult to reply. Perhaps this time I'll do better. To make things easier, I'm providing a list of what I want to do, and I ask you if you know what languages or applications I should consider in order to fulfill my technological goals. I'd like to: build web pages provide internet security for large & small clients make computer games build my own OS from scratch (a big task, I know) create, edit, download, and manipulate multi-media images and files develop application software build and manage my own server develop databases get a general feel for everything else, in case I ever need it So my current list of stuff I wish to learn now includes: Java Java Script Perl C, C+, & C++ PHP SQL CSS HTML XML Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator Flash & Dreamweaver .Net (VB.net, ASP.net, C#) CGI If you know anything about the above, feel free to post: What are each of the above used for? How did it come out? Are any of them similar or used for similar tasks? Etc., etc., etc. Finally, I was told to learn some Assembly language, but unless I am mistaken, I think I learned that already. If someone could give me a rundown on what it is, I could be sure if its what I think it is. I think I learned 8086 in my day (came with a card, too), so all I have to do is review it I think. Your help and suggestions are welcome and I thank you in advance for your time.

Hi,
Sorry this is probably a rather dumb question but...
So I've been doing web design for quite some time now, using the basic design languages, html,css,dhtml,php,java. But I think I've kind of come up with an idea finally, a good idea, for a hopefully profitable website!
But one of the problems is, I need to be able to have users who can sign up and create their own accounts, such as signing up on LJ or Deviantart and getting your own page.
But I'm not exactly sure how to start creating such a thing. What language do I need to learn in order to accomplish that? so they'd have their accounts on a sub domain in essance. www.webpage.com/username
I've thought about using phpnuke or a forum based site but it just wouldn't work for my idea. I like Deviantart's setup. I would need something similiar to what they've got.
Thanks for reading my dumb question, I hope someone knows what I need.
