Your welcome. By the way, I'm sure it's not called "auto fixer" but I really don't know what to call it hehe. HTML was created as a language that anyone can use. It works independant of whitespace, formatting errors, mistakes, etc. Browsers are supposed to automatically correct HTML mistakes and whatnot, but I guess IE has a bug, because microsoft forgot to add in a fix if the title isn't ended.

I tried that already, it solves nothing.

I just tested something and found the problem. The error was that you didn't close the <title> tag. You put <title> twice and forgot to make the second instance of the tag a closing (</title>). If you change this it will work correctly. Apparently, IE doesn't have an auto fixer for this error and takes it that your making everything part of the title.

Only if it's XHTML compliant, which it obviously isn't since there's no doctype or any marks for that. So it's fine.

Sorry for the waste of time then...

No, you were half correct the first time. It does show up, but it doesn't show up in internet explorer though. I checked the source code and it looked fine.. I really don't know what the problem is.

Why don't you?

ActionScript related questions belong in the flash forum.

When I say relative to the image, I'm saying that 0 would be the top left pixel of the image, with absolute, it would be everything, the entire screen. So with iamge maps, 0 is always the top left pixel, no matter where the image is in relation to the screen.

Oh and by the way, the coordinate order is as follows:
Left, Top, Right, Bottom

Usage:

<map name="mymap">
<area href="URL" shape="rect" coords="left, top, right, bottom">
</map>
<img border="0" src="image.gif" usemap="#mymap" width="100" height="100">

They're actually pretty simple, you just have to define a shape (standard is rectangle), and give the corner coordinates. (and a link ofcourse :P)

I know.
But how do I learn the coordinates?

Do they vary bi screen resolution (like the absoulute positions) ?

Coordinates are based on relative pixel coordinates of the image itself. If you don't want to waste time coding coordinates, you could just use frontpage or dreamweaver. Frontpage and dreamweaver (and other html editors) have an iamge map drawing feature, so you can just draw the image map square, circle, or polygon with the program and it'll code the correct coordinates for you.

Fucking antisemite

What's the point of that? It'll just end up using up more bandwidth and server load in the end since it would have to always read the entire txt file and then pull sub-data from that and then turn it into variables. It's just a lot of un-needed work. MySQL and other databases use special algorithms and keys to find and select data. In the end, it'll be more work and more trouble to use txt files for everything. ALSO, when the files become full of a lot of data, everything will begin to become slower since it has to read the entire files and it will begin to take longer.

Do you even know MySQL though?.. if not, learn it.

SHIT! I didn't notice your response post that it's in C++... even though the syntax is obviously C++ I must've somehow forgotten while posting... that was weird. I don't know any C++, but perhaps my post helps somehow?

Sorry.

rand() will return a random number between 0 and RAND_MAX defined in php.ini unless parameters are given.

With parameters, the two optional arguments would be min and max

rand(3,8); //Generates random integer between 3 and 8 (inclusive)
rand(-7,43); //Generates random integer between -7 and 43 (inclusive)
rand(0,1); //Generates random integer of 0 or 1
-------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
Currently, you are just giving the value of rand() to the variables, you probably need to declare numbers to go between.

You could use my and gamescools' custom wordwrap2 function:
[thread] | [function]
(Visit Both)

Or if you want to do a lousy job of automatic line breaking, you could use the old predefined wordwrap() function, but I highly recommend wordwrap2 over the original as it doesn't use character counts, but instead it uses the width of each character to add up to a specific number and once that number is reached it will break. This way, it won't ever break too early because you just set it to reach as long as you want it to stay at.

1) It's called elseif()
2) If you read the notes in my post pointed out clearly with bold and underlined text, you would know why I'm simply using else's

I hate when people don't read.

Setting:
I have a text area. When you submit the form to PHP, it takes the text and converts each letter into an image by retrieving an image file that corresponds to the letter being dealt with.

Problem:
I tried to make the script take line breaks and just insert a <br> tag. The problem I'm having with this is that it does insert the <br> tag correctly, but it also inserts an image tag before this <br> (literally with the line break):
<img src="
.gif"><br>

The Snippet of Code:
$output .= '';
for($i=0; $i<count($letters); $i++){
$letters[$i] = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $letters[$i]);
if($letters[$i] == ' '){
$output .= '&nbsp;';
}else{
if($letters[$i] == "\n"){
$output .= '<br>';
}else{
$output .= '<img src="'.$letters[$i].'.gif">';
}
}
}

Notes about Snippet:
- preg_replace() function is being used to replace puntuation characters with other names since I am not using punctuation symbols as file names.

- I'm not using elseif() because I decided to try testing this with just else but (as I predicted) it made no difference so I presume I'll change it back later on.

May I have a Solution?

Damn, NG messed up my post, here's the entire post from pastebin:
http://pastebin.ca/97285

Here's how I make my own "bbcode" and use it.

1) Run htmlentities() on the message being posted to make it safe before it's added to a database.
2) Insert this message that has been altered with htmlentities() into the database.
3) When you are outputting the messages to the page, that's when you want to run something to replace the bbcode with html, this way, if you ever want to alter what a specific tag does, you won't have to go through every post and change the html there, since it'll just have the bbcode in there.

Just use a preg_replace to replace the bbcode with html during output, it's pretty simple:
__________________________________________
________
$pattern=array(
'/\[b\](.*)\[\/b\]/i',
'/\[i\](.*)\[\/i\]/i',
'/\[u\](.*)\[\/u\]/i',
'/\[color=(.*)\](.*)\[\/color\]/i'
);

$replace=array(
'\\1',
'\\1',
'\\1',
'<font color=\"\\1\">\\2</font>'
);

preg_replace($pattern,$replace,$stringToOu
tput);
__________________________________________
________

$stringToOutput would be the string that is being outputted from the database.
Example snippet:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo preg_replace($pattern,$replace,stripslashe
s($row['message'])).'<br /><br />;
}

Um, just so you all know, I'm talking about actually pasting the text of like Apple when a is pressed, so it's on demand as soon as you click a key. So while it runs, if I type in notepad, the different letters make dif words.

but same file name*

I have a file called a.gif I tried to create a file called A.gif (different caps in the file name) but it won't let me because it states that a.gif already exists, how can I have two files of the same name but different caps? I'm sure you can do this on linux since my host allows me to use different caps but same file.

At 7/22/06 08:20 PM, GamesCool wrote: Yeah, I just noticed that. Glad it works now.

Thanks much :D

Works, except that sometimes you used $mychars and sometimes you used $mychrs. But here's the fixed version:

function make_string_array($string)
{
$mychars = array();
$strlen = strlen($string);
for ($i = 0; $i < $strlen; $i++)
{
$mychars[$i] = substr($string, $i, 1);
}
return $mychars;
}

At 7/22/06 07:58 PM, GamesCool wrote: explode?

But you need to use a separator for that, so how could I just take every single character and push it into an array.
