I'm working on an SMS. It's probably not much in comparison to everything else here, but it's my first *big* project, plus I'm all on my own. Written in PHP.

It uses clean URLs, first of all, so no messing around with GET information to manually navigate around the site. Plus, all you have to do is make a file and put it inside a directory (that you can make up), and then you can include it into the site by going to site.com/directory/file.

Second of all, it's very customizable. There is a CSS editing page, an SQL injection page, and you can create/edit files (even with PHP) right from the admin CP, too!

It comes with some interesting things like a lite BBS (which can be easily replaced with another forum system, if you know how to get rid of the templates and such), a photo gallery (where users can upload their own photos), and a blog page, defaulted as the home page, which is also integrated with the user profile page, so you can view blogs by the staff members, as well as other users.

Ironically, a thread about a man almost losing his job because of Microsoft happens to be the least heated thread in probably all of the programming forum.

Certainly not the right thing to think, any way around. If so it'll likely take a long time to fix, warez your code can take minutes to fix

are you at any time using mysql_escape_string? That would cause it to fail.

If it's online, link it to me, I'll see if I can find the fault in the site.

The Wise Relish has spoken

All of those tutorials are utter CRAP. Consider them useless.

I made an engine with my methods (which were mocked by these very users, iirc), which require you to know PHP, as well as a good bit of action script. Without some kind of server-side knowledge, there is no way you can make an MMO.

It's called an array.

var array:Array = new Array ( 'lol', 'lol2', 'lol3' );
// array[0] is lol, array[1] is 'lol2', and array[2] is 'lol3'
//Or the lazy way to write it, which is still acceptable:
array = new Array ('lol','lol2','lol3');
/// Even lazier, but more work:
array[0]='lol';
array[1]='lol2';
array[2]='lol3';
// And dimensional arrays:
var array:Array = [
['lol', 'lol', 'lol' ],
['lol', 'lol', 'lol' ],
['lol', 'lol', 'lol' ]
];
// array[0][0] is 'lol', array[0][1] is lol, array [0][2] is lol
// array[1][0] is 'lol', array[1][1] is lol, array [1][2] is lol
// array[2][0] is 'lol', array[2][1] is lol, array [2][2] is lol

wait... you put php tags in a database field? No wonder!!

I'm assuming your database field is a varchar or a longtext or something, which is a string. Strings cannot be processed! If you want to do that, then just write:

'.whatever_function().'

...so the PHP will perform that function and return the value it outputs to the echo command.

I don't really understand it... is this all in the same file?

Try creating a basic site or something before a forum. Something like a file uploader or something. I dunno, something that will teach you things like user systems, good database structure and usage, stuff like that.

For now, I recommend just getting a forum system and learning how to deal with the installers. After you think you have at least a good grasp of PHP, try making a very basic forum system to integrate with another site. Just with categories, forums, threads, and replies. Throw in some BBCode if you want, maybe some smileys.

Oh, really? You can make and compile a Flash game in a text editor? Would you mind telling me how to do that?

You can write AS with Word, Wordpad, Notepad, you can write AS in this very textbox. Just because Notepad++ provides syntax highlighting doesn't mean a thing.

Reformatted, fine now.

Well, I tried system restore first. Now when I try windows update, it tries to reinstall Vista SP2, and fails, requiring it to run system restore again.

It didn't work :/

Programs, including Firefox, are still giving off errors when I open them, plus some features don't work.

Anything else I can do?

I was uninstalling a bunch of stuff on Vista, and now certain programs won't run like Dell Dock, and I can't use the Enter key to go to a site in Firefox, I have to use the arrow button.

If I download the installer, it says it's already installed with the OS! How do I fix this?

Gee, I don't know, maybe the only program in existence that makes Flash games? FLASH.

And where can download the AS?

I assume you mean code that you use. You can find tutorials anywhere, even on Newgrounds. I suggest googling.

Plus use spaces after punctuation.

PHP all the way.

First of all, PHP is open-source and multi-platform. PHP can be used on Windows, Mac, Linux, anything. Plus anyone can look at every bit of code it takes to run PHP. ASP is only usable on an IIS, which is only usable on Windows. 9/10 of the hosts you find on the internet use a version of Linux on their servers, which doesn't allow ASP.

Second of all, ASP was made basically as a copy of languages like PHP. Microsoft has done this a ton of times. C# to C++ and Java, SQLite to MySQL, Windows to Mac OS.

I use pseudocode (I think?) for making things go into the center. I make the width and height, say, 50% then make the position fixed (absolute also works) and make top 25% and left 25%.

Not very efficient but it works

Least useful reply.

Javascript is FAR more widely used for Web Design than Flash being as it's free and that's 99.9% what it's used/made for.

Of the 3 or 4 sites I've coded, one of them used Flash, and that was only a fancy file viewer.

They're keeping a lot of stuff out to be as vague as possible while still getting the point across. They don't want to fill your head with useless information, so they fill it with web design.

Well see, with CSS, you have to link to the image from the point of view of the CSS doc.

Say the image is images/image.png
The file is index.html
The CSS is css/style.css

In the index.html file you would link to ./images/image.png
In the CSS you would link to ../images/image.png

htaccess can be such a mindfuck sometimes

That's because you linked to SITE/Episodes.html, not Episodes.html

Make a file in PHP that calculates the visits, then use Ajax to include that file every second or so.

Pfft, you're not qualified to make a FLASH game at this rate. If you could release a Madness mod I would be impressed.

Well if you learned Javascript you would very likely have to learn HTML too, because all Javascript does it make HTML web pages dynamic.

Action Script is just action script, there's not another language you have to learn to be really good at it.
