    [PHP Tut] Creating Excel XLS for download

    Thanks! Just wanted to know if it's useful. It would be a simple matter to change the style of programming to whatever you prefer, but I wrote it like that for explanatory clarity. Also it is meant to be a copy-patse tutorial, so hopefully those with less complete php/sql knowledge can at least...

    style="margin:2px 0 0 2px" (4 numbers for: top, right, bottom, left margins) or style="margin-top:2px; margin-left:2px;" Edit: PS @ Marshian: table elements are not discouraged where tables are sensible. Only too often people use tables when div is a better choice. To have consistent...

    Forum Game <Story>

    Once upon a time there was a mystical land where dragons flourished and Naruto fans could do all the weird jitsu that they like. They could also go on any mission they wanted. One mission that they went on was to steal a secret document from the enemy. This enemy was a rogue nation hell bent on...

    [PHP Tut] Creating Excel XLS for download

    This is for those who want to offer an XLS download, generated on the fly from your database(s). First, you need to write the code at the top of a page of php, so the headers may be sent. Your file 'this.php' might look something like this: <?php if ($_REQUEST['download']=="xls") { //the link...

    not going to help?

    Is it definitely picking up the script "yshout/js/jquery.js"? You might llok at the source and check that the class YShout is defined. You can't have a 'new YShout' unless there is a class defined for it. Also, is it meant to have those curly brackets inside the parentheses?

    Rollover help needed

    Why don't you put your images on the web server (where your index.html is), instead of photobucket. They would load much quicker and be sure to work.

    Nice work! Well done and thanks for working so hard for us. I'm sure the little layout-type bugs will get ironed out.

    Making AJAX return a value.

    Your AJAX needs to echo the value: if ($_REQUEST['ajax']=="getValue") {echo $value;exit;} and your javascript need to catch it: //xmlHttp = new ajax object (browser specific code/try catch here) xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if(xmlHttp.readyState==4) { if (xmlHttp.status==200) {...

    Password hash

    A good security technique is to hash passwords with a salt (as mentioned above). That way, if somebody gets hold of your database, and runs dictionary attacks on the passwords, they won't be able to find even the simple passwords ('tree', 'hat' etc) becasue the hash of the password plus the salt...

    not going to help?

    Are all the necessary files uploaded to the "yshout/js/" folder (relative to where this script is located? I don't know much about jQuery... But I'm sure there are some good tutorials/forums where you can get help.

    E-mail In PHP

    Whoops, I misread it, you're quite right. But it is still not hard to make a mistake enabling your source code to be viewable...so I wouldn't put my personal email password there. I would definitely advise creating a separate email account for the purpose. Anyway, back to the subject, I was...

    E-mail In PHP

    That's all very well if you trust that program not to store your password or abuse your account etc. But if like me you don't trust anything you didn't make yourself, you probably want to stick with mail(); To add to my earlier points, make sure you give an email address in the 'From' header...

    Hw to make professional looking websites ??

    Well said. You might find the following CSS useful to get rid of the gaps: body,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,div { margin:0 auto; padding:0 auto; } But you'll have to cascade if you DO want gaps in certain situations
