Tell you how? Just read that link I posted up there. The PHP online manual is pretty easy to read, so it shouldn't be that hard.

ie: mail( "recipient@isp.com", "Subject", "Message body", "[headers here]" );

And that's it. Headers are optional, like doofy said.

ie: "From: The Phroek <phroek@isp.com>\r\nReply-To: someone@somewhere.com\r\n"

To be honest, I have no idea; I've never even considered doing that... Try googling it and see what you find. Someone may have built a cgi java compiler and made it available on the web.

Now that I'm curious, I'm going to look when I have a minute. If I find anything, I'll post it here.

Visit http://java.sun.com/../1.4.2/download.html
and download the latest Java SDK. These are the tools you'll need to compile any Java program you write.

As far as compiling it at the command prompt, I think it's either java.exe or javac.exe (can't quite remember - somebody help me out here?). In any case, browse through the documentation and the files installed with the SDK and you'll find it's easy to compile your code at the command prompt with the tools that come with the SDK.

Netbeans is a great IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for developing Java code. Sure, it's a hell of a lot heavier than notepad, but has tonnes of tools designed to help you construct robust Java applications.

First off, if you're thinking about using the <marquee> tag, don't. It's so depreciated, it's not even funny.

In any case, you can create any kind of marquee-type element you want using creative DHTML coding. Take a look through Dynamic Drive to get some ideas and code samples for what you need to do.

phpMyAdmin is a great tool, but if you're just learning right now, try to get used to MySQL's command line client first. Get used to using it, and it'll really help you get a strong grasp of the SQL language.

Remember, your first forum is nearly guaranteed to suck.

Uhh, I dunno man, my first forum was pretty damn cool... ;-) lol joking, it wasn't all that, wasn't bad though.

That's hard to say for me, since I work full time as a network administrator and develop web applications for clients freelance on the side. I'm trying to get out of the freelance work, since it's becoming too much with a full-time job to contend with. I still have contracts to conclude, but once that's finished I'll finally have more spare time.

If you want, drop me a line on MSN Messenger at phroek@hotmail.com, and if you can catch me online we'll talk about it.

The programming field is very competitive, but you can have a great career making top dollar if you sell yourself properly. Freelance might be the way to go. It always takes time to develop a good client base, but once you do, you'll find that getting new clients becomes easier and easier as time goes on.

Alternatively, just analyze the industry and try to get into what's in demand. It may not have been your first choice, but you'll very likely get a chance to do what you REALLY wanted to do eventually in your career.

You just have to have a positive attitude, be patient, and proactive. (God, do I sound like a motivational speaker or what??)

Why don't you use phpinfo() and take a look at the installation's configuration?

Did you install php on the web app server, or was it already installed? php.ini has to be configured carefully if PHP is running on an IIS server.

Another thought I just had: A big issue with Windows Server is directory security/permissions. If you don't have a lot of experience with it, it can actually be very confusing, but if you're having trouble viewing the contents of a directory, uploading a file, or ANYTHING else, it may very well have something to do with the permissions and security settings on said directories.

Better memory management, cross-platform portability, a HUGE library of classes/functions ready to be used for virtually any situation, strict object-oriented structure, support for multi-threading/concurrent processes... Sure, C++ is faster, but you'd be surprised how much you can overcome that speed disadvantage by tweaking your code properly.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not stomping on C++. Both languages have situations in which either one would be the better choice. It depends on your project.

At first, I would try to average at least 2-3 hours a day for at least 5 days out of a week of pure reading and practice. It sounds like some Michael Jordon story or something, I just wanted to be a geek. :)

That's the best way to learn. Personally, I never did learn well in a classroom environment. Solo was the best way to go. Think about this: The pace that technology progresses at is so fast, that by the time you take a course on any given subject in the field and graduate months later, that technology can already be obsolete! So people like you, who can keep up with the technology, and even more so because they LIKE IT, will go far. A lot further than systems engineers who have degrees that are years old, and take three times as long to figure things out than you do.

Just keep it up, and stay interested. You could have a great job by the time you're 20 and you might not even have to go to university/college.

Got a point, Inglor. He might as well. Although as for it being "safer", you don't really have to worry about anything unless you're testing the return value of a function that could return either zero as a number or zero as a boolean value (for instance, strpos()).

How about telling us in what way you find Windows Server to be retarded? As someone who works with it every day, I can tell you that it can be a very powerful, stable platform; You just need to know how to configure it properly.

Anything can be retarded if you lack the skills to configure and maintain it properly.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

You should be using an equality operator in that conditional statement.

== instead of =.

By using a single =, it's trying to assign variable $ipaddress the value of $IPRow['ipaddress'] in the conditional statement, instead of simply comparing them.

Side note: mysql_db_query() is depreciated (I think as of version 4?). You should use mysql_select_db() and mysql_query() instead.

And I want it to look like this:

$IPQuery = "SELECT * from $TableName2 WHERE (id=$id AND ipaddress=$ipaddress)";

Except that doesn't work....sorry about the quicky but google gets messed up when i try searching WHERE statement.

Well first off, you might not get any results on Google depending on what you're searching for, because the WHERE claus is part of SQL, not PHP.

Of what data types are your id and ipaddress fields? For instance, if you have defined the ipaddress field as a type varchar or text, you must enclose the value in quotes.
Ex: ... WHERE id = $id AND ipaddress = '$ipaddress'

Hope that helps.

Read this: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.http.php

You have to send header information BEFORE any other data has been outputted (even white space). So make sure there is no white space before your opening php tag at the top of the page <?php, and make sure nothing is outputted before the header information is sent.

After reading your post I went to a book store and took a look at PHP and MySQL Web Development to see for myself if it was worthy of the praise Doofy gave it, and I was impressed; It seems to be a good book, worth buying if you're in the market for a book on PHP/MySQL.

I tend to disagree, I've taken a look at some of the SAMS books and they seem to be pretty good. The last one I flipped through in a book store was Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days 4th edition, and from what I could tell from just browsing it, it seemed very well written and structured with great projects and case studies. I read parts of some of the chapters and I thought it did a good job of teaching Java and OOP in general.

openPop will only work if you've previously defined a function called openPop that does what you need it to do (in this case, open a Javascript window).

For example...

[script type="text/javascript"]
function openPop( addr, name, features ) {
window.open( addr, name, features );
}
[/script]

But then what's the point of doing that when you can just directly call window.open() from any anchor tag?
