How'd you get it to search such recent posts? :/

Pardon the grammatical error in my last post. I went to look at liljim's other recent posts, which appear as results on a search page.

Just a quick bug report: When looking search results, the code does not appear properly.

You are best off creating a table where each hit is a row. Store stuff like the users' ip addresses and other fun stuff too.

I'm pretty sure that javascript cannot detect if there is a scroll bar. Either way, the need for this could be eliminated if you wrote your css well.

primary key controls the indexes...it should probably auto-increment

and gameId is set as your primary key

I've fixed just about everything, including the admin area, but the second level pages (i.e. site.com/news/newstitle) do not appear properly. Neither css nor the images work. Should I change the XHTML/PHP?

The .htaccess looks like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.jsitepgh\.org [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://jsitepgh.org/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^admin$ admin/$1
RewriteRule ^([0-9A-Za-z-]+)/([0-9A-Za-z-]+)$ index.php?type=$1&title=$2
RewriteRule ^([0-9A-Za-z-]+)$ index.php?type=$1

I'm not sure if this is your case or not, but domains can only be transferred once every 60 days. If it was transferred to your new host, you would need to wait out the grace period before it could be transferred to you.

If you don't know how to code, use Dreamweaver. If you know how to code, but want things like syntax highlighting and code tidying, use Notepad++. Not only is it free, but it supports just about every language. In fact, if you are getting Dreamweaver, download Notepad++ anyways.

Thanks for the help, but there are still a few issues...

Going to site.com/admin/ or site.com/images/ gives a 500 error, while site.com/admin or site.com/images (no slash) try to go to site.com/index.php?type=admin or site.com/index.php?type=images

.htaccess currently looks like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([0-9A-Za-z-]+)/([0-9A-Za-z-]+)$ index.php?type=$1&title=$2
RewriteRule ^([0-9A-Za-z-]+)$ index.php?type=$1
RewriteRule ^admin/? admin/
RewriteRule ^images/? images/

That admin area doesn't work either....it probably has something to do with:
RewriteRule ^admin admin
RewriteRule ^images images

Thanks a lot. That got all of the pages to load, but the images still won't work...they all appear as broken. Also, the css file won't work on the pages with two parameters...very weird.

That will only work the first time. Every time you run that script, it will try to create the table again, which will cause an error (every table must have a unique name)

I'm trying to create some friendly URLs for my site, but it is a real mess. If anyone could help me out, I'd be incredibly grateful.

The specifications:
example.com?type=abc&title=def needs to become example.com/abc/def
example.com?type=abc needs to become example.com/abc
example.com/admin and example.com/images are regular directories and should therefore be excluded from these rules

I'd appreciate any instructions.

Can someone give me a code snippet to read a text file called "text.txt." The contents of the text file (with line breaks preserved):

&title=Page Title
&content=This is the article's content

I have 2 dynamic text boxes looking for variables called 'title' and 'content'
Can anyone help?

p is supposed to have multiple values, with the comma as a delimiter.

This is not a 1-click script kind of thing. This requires a knowledge of sessions or cookies as well as databases. You need to know some kind of server-side language as well. Prepare yourself for atleast a week of code writing. Sorry...no easy solutions.

I want index.php?c=abc&a=def&p=ghi,jkl to become /abc/def/ghi/jkl

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Thanks alot

so who is your host???

ignore the last post....just who is your host?

who did you register your domain with? each registrar has a different method to change nameservers. also, who is your host?

You can't uninstall IE. It is part of the OS. Without it, My Computer or any file browser wouldn't work. Also, IE7 became a forced download this week. If you have auto-updates set, it will auto-install.

I don't think it will be a big deal if you can't access IE6. Soon, everyone will be updated to 7 whether they want to or not.

Swish and Flash are the best ways to go. You can get free trials of each. Flash is made by the developer of the .swf format and Swish is made by a third party.

i feel like such a loser for logging on now and trying to be the 1st to deposit points this year...ng runs on ET right?

FYI, using html to open popups is not considered valid html. Using it would create errors if you ran it through a validator.

Since when am I a popular author?? I feel all tingly inside.

From that list, I'd have to go with Layla

You can download trials from Macrodobe's website: www.adobe.com

If you want to keep it badly enough, set your computer clock to the year 2050 when you begin the trial and then set it back afterwards. Your 30-day trial will begin in 2050.

I hope that one doesn't get me banned...he is not obtaining an illegal copy...he is just keeping the trial active for an extra long time

It appears many times in the general forum...it doesn't really apply to programming unless you were one of the people who helped make it

.php is great because you can use html in it.

The version of CSS supported by even the new wave of browsers just released does not allow for bg stretching. It does exist, but no major browser supports it. The best way to go (for a bg like this) is to take a 1 px width gradient and do a repeat-x on it.
