Valid point, and duly noted, but users should also have the information with which to make good choices, and not just eat that which is placed in their mouths. And you know what? They sure as hell aren't going to get information about choice from Microsoft. Maybe running into a site design...

Greetings Right now If I login in on the x10 home page, I have to log in again with the same info if I want to post to the forum, and then a login with a different id for cpanel. I have no issue with a different cpanel login, but I would like not to have to login a 2nd time for the forum...

Hey coach... from a strictly philosophical perspective, sometimes standing up for principle involves sacrifices. Also, by taking a stand and refusing to knuckle under you make it easier for others to do so in the future. "It started with a trickle, and became a flood." Besides think of the...

take heart, coach. Many people have switched to Firefox, and many more will switch to Google Chrome once all the hiccups are ironed out.

Greetings. I live in a house with several other people, and we all connect to a single ADSL router, mostly via wireless. It occurred to me as one of my roommates was doing WindowsUpdate, "damn. 50 MB of service pack 3 just went straight through my thorax.. I'm only slightly facetious, I...

Good idea, risendead. There's certainly enough sites out there to get ideas from. It also occurs to me that having a good selection of templates could be useful also. And from what I can see, being good with css seems kind of important. I checked out that link, yeah there's some good stuff...

Ah yes. Good old Windows 3.1. I cut my teeth doing tech support for 16-bit applications. In those days techies actually had control over what went on "under the hood". It's not like that any more :) Garrett, in addition to the article you suggested, which is really good, there is nothing to...

close enough. it was actually Turkmenistan. We have a winner, good job. Your turn to ask a question. Make it a toughy :)

Hint: The last two former Soviet republics end in "an". Russia Ukraine Georgia Armenia Moldova Belarus Tajikistan Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan Azerbaijan Latvia Lithuania Estonia

My reference to a malfunctioning firewall was a joke I stole from a Dilbert cartoon. Think about it. :)

I'm relatively new to web design, but my HTML skills are pretty good. One thing I have found, is that I have no real flair for creative design. My pages are for the most part simplistic. I have a pretty good eye for what colors go well together, and I have confidence in how I can organize...

Hi. imo you made a good choice. I'm relatively new to php/MySQL, and I've found the community here to be very helpful in getting the ball rolling. One suggestion, If you do post a technical question, unless the answer is obvious, you may get more than one response, and some discussion will...

An overheated PC can also be caused by a malfunctioning firewall. ;)

Thanks Garrett, duly noted, especially about define() and globals. will keep that in mind.

Thanks Mission, point taken and food for thought.

Thanks Mission, I'm just getting started with MySQL/php It looks like your last comment addresses the issue. I guess I have some research and testing to do. This question is all about having your script establish a connection to MySQL without any intervention, without having the password visible...

Thanks bud, so I am right on. Good to hear. I don't want to flog a dead horse, but it's still not clear to me whether it might be possible for someone to actually view my php files somehow, even though the code won't be sent to the browser they will know the files are there, and they will know...

Thanks Garret, I'll check out that link. I'm missing something somewhere. Let me describe the situation... I have a subdirectory of public_html that has 711 rights on the directory. within that directory are html and php files that have 644 rights. Using my browser, I am able to load any of...

Suppose I have an html file in my public_html directory, and that html file contains a reference to a php file, call it test.php, in a different directory, call that directory dir1. That means that anyone will know that there exists in dir1 a file called test.php. now suppose dir1 has...

hmmm one of us is missing the point, or I am just expressing myself poorly. I don't mean to belabor the point but let me try to express this differently. there are many examples of php functions that can be called from within an html document, right? for example the following will work...
