I can see how that is. It's just not good enough for me. It's just like that amendment that was going through around the same time as the elections about the definition of life. It was a good idea, but the wording had too much wiggle room for extremists.

I'll agree, there are certain situations, but unfortunately, it's too wordy to be that specific. It's basically just another step in the direction of government controlled everything, even if it doesn't appear that way at first, it does have the possibility. It only takes one incident for a chain of events to happen for a legal government takeover.

The idea in theory is great. In practice, it seems to be too dangerous.

Besides...if our defense grid can be hit by a DDoS attack, I'm kinda disappointed.

There is a new bill going through congress that will, in any case that the government deems, allow them to shut down all private internet functions and put anyone they want in a position to oversee any private "cyber" sector.

This seemed like the best quick summary of what can go wrong with this bill, and why it's a horrible idea. 96% of opencongress.org users do not approve of this bill, which seems to be what I think an accurate representation of what I would think America would think...if they knew about it. Apparently it's being snuck through, to hide from the public, because they know we won't like it.

This isn't an "anti-obama" thing. This is an "anti-I don't want my government to control my internet usage whenever they feel like it" thing.

Get informed, then let's discuss this.

By the way, if everyone hasn't seen this yet, this is awesome.

My Xbox 360 can blog. It's awesome.

They do.

People don't log out...they close their browsers. Without a full out applet, you're not going to be able to tell when someone logs out without them actually going through the log out process. You have to get the last time they loaded a page.

"XX members are logged in:

For that, you'll just need to set things like this tutorial has. Timestamps of last page loaded in the user's table in the database, then to a cross check count of how many have a timestamp within the last few minutes.

member1, member2, member3 ...

This is a simple list from a MySQL query about the actual users that have those same timestamps.

XX guests are viewing."

This one is a little more difficult...the only way I could think of, is if a page load happens, check if it's a user, and if it's not, put a timestamp somewhere with the guests' IP. Then count them.

I'd like to o something like that. I can modify/add any DB's that are needed, and add/remove any rows too.

Should just need to add a timestamp to the user stuff, and maybe the guest IP stuff.

Happy page 500!

You mean you're coding your own user system, or you want to find some other system online that uses accounts? Such as one that you would end up finding on Google. Therefore, Google.

Yeah, that seems to be the most likely thing. Make sure that the database name is what you think it is. Hosts will sometimes at stuff to the beginning.

All I can guess is that your function is causing your connection to close. Try removing that and see if it works.

Your best bet would likely be putting a timestamp in the user's data in your database whenever an action takes place by the user. Then when a user stops taking action, it'll stop updating the timestamps.

Use the same timestamps for all posts, and do an "if a is greater than b" thing.

That's not the only filetype zip can be.

I never knew HOW that actually happened. I just noticed it randomly once. Didn't know it had to do with cursor over the face.

The programming language of the Woman operating system is just like any other.

You think you understand it, and you can code it really well...then EVERYTHING STARTS FUCKING UP FOR APPARENT REASON :P

No. Not at all.

Okay, I don't know if I'm just having trouble, but I REALLY can't understand what you need. Please be specific with exactly what you're doing. That would help immensely.

Honestly, if what I think you need is what you actually need...just use the query to filter the results. Like the last guy said.

Does your host have the GD Library installed?

Yeah, that's what DFox was saying as well. I'd just be wary about trying to open the file, honestly.

It would be pretty difficult to determine if it was a zip file before it was uploaded with that method.

I'm pretty sure there's some timer function, but I can't find it. So, quick fix...

$var1 = microtime();
while (condition) {
loop;
}
$var2 = microtime();
$timeItTook = $var2 - $var1;

Yay pseudocode.

The ZIP mimetype can be any of these.

application/zip
application/x-zip
application/x-zip-compressed
application/octet-stream
application/x-compress
application/x-compressed
multipart/x-zip

Just make a check against it, like...

$filetype = "application/zip";
if {
$filetype !== $_FILES['data']['type'];
die()
}

What's happening Zendra?

Like he said...this is pretty much the first thing you learn if you've looked up MySQL and PHP.

You're doing it backwards here.

// to check the total number of records
$query         = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM links ") or die (mysql_error());
$total_rows     = mysql_num_rows($query);

while($linelink2=mysql_fetch_array($resultlink2)) {
echo "<table align=center width=550>"; echo "<tr>
		<td>$linelink2[linktitle]</td>
		<td><a class=\"link1\" href=\"<?=\$linelink2[linkurl]?>\" target=\"_blank\"><?=\$linelink2[linkurl]?></a></td>
	</tr> ";
    echo "</table>";
}


//select the record with limitation   SELECT * FROM `links` WHERE linkid ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 15
$query         = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM `links` limit $eu, $limit") or die (mysql_error());
echo "<table align=center width=550>";

You're putting out all the HTML before you're limiting anything.

Your SQL query must be capitalized.

$query         = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM `links` limit $eu, $limit") or die (mysql_error());

That line...needs fixed with the spacing anyway...but needs to be this.

$query  = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM `links` LIMIT $eu, $limit") or die (mysql_error());
