Excellent news. Thanks for the update.

Corey (the head honcho here at X10) posted a follow-up in the All Free Server Updates thread. It turns out the delay is due to the fact the admins can't compile their own copy of php–it's distributed as part of cPanel. They've had their own support request with cPanel, and a fix has just come...

The thread "All Free Server Updates" in the News and Announcements sub-forum mentions that some extensions were mistakenly left out of the cli PHP and will be added back, though it doesn't say if the ones you're using are among them. It looks like the admins are aware of the issue, they've just...

Is there a list of the additional extensions to be added to the cli PHP? Would this include mysqli, mbstring and gd? Another user was asking about these in particular. Progress! Huzzah!

I hereby bequeath all my missing likes to you.

I just read a notice from the 5th that one of the (few) people who provides support for the free servers got a day job. I'll post a message for the admins and see if anyone with proper access can take a look.

The database sections are dangerously out of date. The old mysql and sqlite extensions shouldn't be used as (among other reasons) they don't support prepared statements, which are extremely important in preventing SQL injection. Those extensions have been supplanted with (most recently) PDO and...

You can't outsmart a smart arse (and I wouldn't have it any other way).

System settings such as max_allowed_packet that set limits are very unlikely to be changed (unless during a major server upgrade) as increasing them can let just a few users bring the shared servers to a crawl. Rather than storing images in a database, you can store them in the filesystem and...

From the second figure, it looks like you want the floats to be auto-cleared. In addition to the sitepoint "Simple Clearing of Floats" article, read "Clearing Floats" on Quirksmode. Generally speaking, code says more than pictures. The best way of showing what you're doing when asking about wed...

For sample code, please post only a concise (complete yet minimal) example. Otherwise, there's too much extraneous code to wade through. Please use [php], [html] or [code] tags (as appropriate) to separate and format code.

callumacrae's just being a smart arse.

@wilron: "Best" depends entirely on the requirements. You've left out PostgreSQL.

@bidzey75: to avoid derailng this thread, I've responded to your post in a new thread. There is one point relevant to this thread I'd like to make: a table is unsuitable for gaptrast's design because table cell borders are aligned, and gaptrast doesn't want the horizontal borders to align...

[cont.] You did. Then do it. That's how debate works: support your assertions. These days, the speed of rendering tables is less of a concern. If not written properly, HTML tables won't be rendered until the closing tag is encountered, whereas the elements in a CSS based layout...

This is a response to bidzey's post on the "CSS Float problem" thread. It's posted in a new thread so as not to derail the original. If there's one thing MS is known for, it's their proper application of web standards. When, specifically, does Sharepoint 2010 use tables? In your wondering...

It varies, depending on how busy the admins are. There are only a few, and many free users clamoring for attention. Looking at my own requests, it's generally been within a day, though a few were over a week. Try IRC and see if you can get the ball rolling. Just be nice, despite any frustration...

Post data is no more secure than query string data or cookies. All can be set by the user, and the POST method is still vulnerable to XSRF. The problem with using $_REQUEST is that you can have key collisions between the different sources and get the wrong value. By default, cookies override...

Are you asking about which RDBMS (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) to use? What are your requirements?

My original post was much more detailed, but got et by a gremlin. This topic is bigger than can be covered in a forum thread. Find a good book on OOP. StackOverflow has many questions with book recommendations; search there. For the immediate problem, stick with the S in SOLID. UserForm is...
