First you must find... another shrubbery! Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle.

A path! A path!

I heard of a few people who brought their computers into Starbucks, comendeered the tables and everything. I really want to do that now.

It really depends on what you like. It may be easier for you to make a user database so that when you're using the user system outside of the forum, you don't need to open up the forum's database.

However, it would work just as well with keeping just a user table in the forum database.

I would, however, suggest to keep a user database. If for nothing else...organization.

Check out PHP: Main in my sig. It has a bunch of tutorials on exactly what you want to build.

Well, he's missing a comma right there...

There are a few different ways. You can use COUNT in MySQL, though I've had problems with it in the past, not working.

COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE username = $variable

You can also use the PHP function mysql_num_rows().

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM bbs_users WHERE username = '$user'");
$num = mysql_num_rows($query);

A comment box would require some type of back-end programming, which sites like Freewebs don't support. You can try a Google search for a free shoutbox, I've seen them before. They would store the information on their server, and you get a Javascript to put on your site.

Are you looking for specific functions and helpful hints, or full code?

Happy B-day Wreckages :)

This is a hack that uses Javascript to display phpBB information. You could probably taylor it to your needs.

I'm at Denver International Airport right now. I'm about an hour and a half early for the boarding of my flight to Nashville. I'm bored. Good thing there's free WiFi.

Just create a file named ".htaccess", if your host supports it. The kind of stuff you can do with it can be found everywhere online.

If your main page isn't called "index.php", or you don't have an HTACCESS file to tell the server to use a different file, then that's what's going to happen.

I'm actually going to back up adam on this one.

Just as an off-topic aside there.

Learn ajax.

Spybot: Search & Destroy is the best free one that I know of.

That would be the way I suggest going. Set up a database with a slot for each of the items (title, body, whatever), and make one for ID as well. Then, using mysql_connect(), mysql_select_db(), and a combination of mysql_query() and mysql_fetch_array()...you can make it easier to call on the information, and even store information from a PHP file, instead of using your control panel.

It's some of the basic database stuff, so sorry if you already knew it.

That's to redirect users to the new feed. It says nothing about the directory.

Yeah, unfortunately, if all your variables are in one place, you'll need to load them all if you want to call one.

Best place to start learning back-end programming would be w3schools. There are a few languages you can use, but PHP is what I would suggest. Linkage.

There are also many great online PHP resources, such as php.net and PHP: Main here on Newgrounds. (Link in sig.)

My car stereo sucks :(

It won't even read my burned CD's unless it's in the mood to.

In order for it to change in the directory, I believe you need to resubmit the new URL for the feed.

For something like this, I'd suggest using a database...instead of the flat files you're using. Do you have access to one?

If not, I'd suggest using file_get_contents(), and probably the best way you'll be able to get the elements you want is with the explode() function.

Is that the direction you're looking for?

Unfortunately, ad revenue isn't going to grab many takers. For a job of this caliber, you'll need cash.

PHP and AJAX are totally different, you can't use one or the other, you use them both.

Actually...gonna be honest here...you fail.

You can use AJAX without PHP or ASP.

If you're asking what you should use...it depends on what actions are going on in the page. Don't use unnecessary AJAX.
