even if its as simple as

make indoxButton red

In English:
if there is any unread PMs make the button red .

Good idea.

Only a good idea if done the google way by checking every so often instead of on every load, else, it'd just be the same as any other form of notifications, the fact that it must key into the database every time, in this case to check for unread PMs.

How would I make it delete where the ip matches and stat is neutral or declined?

Here's what I tried:

mysql_query("DELETE FROM links WHERE ip_address='{$_GET['ip_address']}' AND stat='Neutral' OR stat='Declined'");

No, I wanted $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

How do I return the page URL with PHP? I need to know becuase I want a log in script I'm using to use a variable holding the value of the URL of the previous page to (after logging you in) return you to that page... just as NG does when you log in.

Yay, now I can use the function I had the idea of an 'contributed to' :D

What would dir() do? I looked it up on php.net but didn't really get anything..

1. I am creating a script for my user system and on one part of it uploads a file. On the upload form, i added a "name" field so when it is added to the database, it is givin a name:
Id
name (name entered at upload)
url (the url of the uploaded file, uploads/path/to/file)
but it dont add the name entered in the form to the database.

2. How can I make dropdown boxes, check boxes, and/or radio buttons that add/edit the data in a database?
Can someone help me please?

1) Make sure the query is correct with correct column names, make sure the name attribute of the name field is set to name , make sure the column is the correct data type (varchar or text) and make sure you didn't make any mistakes.

2) Just run an UPDATE query. Here's how an UPDATE query is ran:

UPDATE tbl SET col='value' WHERE someCol='something' LIMIT 1

This would go into a table called 'tbl' and it would begin working with the column called 'col'. It would find the row in which the column 'someCol' holds the value of 'something' (you'd probably want to use WHERE id='$id' or something to choose the correct row that was meant to be selected by the user). It now sets 'col' to hold the data 'value'. The LIMIT 1 isn't needed, but it ensures that only 1 row will be updated.

I have to go, but as an example to what I mean, on imageshack, if you attempt to upload a file that doesn't exist on your computer (easily do this by pressing browse, an image, and change the file name in the file form field to a file you don't have) it will return an error to use the browse button to choose a file.

With php, how do I test if a file being uploaded actually exists on the user's computer at all?

If I wanted to use an application to make my own application I'd have done the search myself, thanks for that but I wanted to know how to actually program my own wizard... hence the fact of me posting this in the programming forum.

IDK why but something makes me think this may belong in general for what you're asking about, though the programming comes in for HTML I guess...

Does gaia allow HTML in profiles? The most basic way with HTML to embed a flash SWF is like so:

<embed src="file.swf" width="550" height="400" />

How would I create something similar to a software installation wizard? Something simple with the whole wizard interface. How would I make something like this (what languages are involved) and how would I make it create files/folders, rename files/folders, copy files/folders, move files/folders, delete files/folders?

ps.
i actually think the idea is good. with it, no more emails would be required.. that will also make as spam-free. in most cases.

why not use the uh... newgrounds pm system?

that's what I was gonna say..

Two choices:

1) Concatenate with double quotes an escaped line break by doing "\n" or just type \n for the line break if the value is already in double quotes.
Example:
$stuff = 'blah'."\n".'blah';

Or if already in quotes:
$stuff = "blah\nblah";
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
2) Use the nl2br function. Run the nl2br() function on the text that contains regular line breaks and it'll convert these line breaks to <br /> 's

Examples:

_________________________
|
| nl2br('Hey I am
| bob
| and
| my
| friend is joe');
|________________________

_________________________
|
| $joe = 'blah
| blah
| blah';
| //other shit
| nl2br($joe);
|________________________

I would help, but that flash example of the "world" is kind of... unprofessional. It needs a lot of work. Also, why do you want to make another neopets? They'll never be topped, they were (if not) the first virtual pet site around and are worth over a million $. I doubt with flash like that you'll do too well, especially with all the lagging.

HTML to embed an SWF:
<embed src="filePathToSWF" width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT" />

Boy, you sure know how to party.

No, it had started really early and ended pretty soon too... because it's an 8th grade dance and they aren't long of course... another reason I'm so bored right now.

hehe, I knew I shouldn't have posted this on my favorite geek site :). It's not common for us geeks to like forms of socialism relative to dances or parties :[

You know what really pisses me off? School dances.

Why?

Because they're so much fun that when you get back home you're so bored and there's nothing to do.

Like right now, I just got back from my 8th grade graduation dance..

Okay. At least I can speak English. You don't capitalize every word in a sentence and it's "you're" not "your."

And I definitely win because

Gug, you're a loser.

Student version = $100
All he must do is present his ID, he could get it as a gift.

OMG a teacher on NG :O

Anyway, he should learn HTML first if he doesn't yet know it, then maybe CSS. Then actionscript in flash would be cool, then PHP...

I think

WTF IS THAT?! Why multiply 1 three times? It won't change anything, if you paid attention during arithmetic when you were younger you would know that. That's simply going to add 15 to time and would result in 15 seconds instead of 15 minutes. Sadly, this only would be true if this wasn't a syntax error, what is time? You need to call the time() function, not this time you're using. And if it were a variable it'd need a dollar sign ($).

So as a correct answer, use some simple math, if time() returns the number of seconds since the epoch, the unit being used is seconds. Therefore, adding to this return value with the unit of seconds will result in adding seconds, not minutes, nor hours, nor anything else, to the value. So, keeping this in mind, we will need to convert the number of minutes (15) into seconds to match the value's units and work out correctly. Therefore, we take 60, the number of seconds to a minute, and multiply it by 15 to get the value of seconds equal to the number of minutes we want.

So, 60*15 = 900 meaning that we must add 900 to the return value of time() to add 15 minutes.

In conclusion, you would need to use:
time()+900

No, NO!! I had a txt file saved with contents of the 500,000th post! I was gonna make it, AND I FORGOT! DAMMIT!

Oh, I have one question, this must be checked off to send a PM:

I understand that if I send out spam, harass or annoy people, or abuse the NG Private Messaging System in any way that I'll be banned with all the scary wrath of Zeus himself.

How could you know if you say you don't moderate PMs?
