You and me both :) It has been getting better recently, at least, for me it has.

I'll agree the free service here has been iffy lately, but there have been plenty of periods here (in my experience) where the service has been exceptional. So for me, it evens out. The problem with free hosts in general is they are abused. People send mass spam e-mails, or write malicious...

I've been on a lot of free hosts and this has been the best for me. The other hosts either have great uptime because they disable every useful feature that might negatively affect the server, or they are down much more than X10.

If you read the actual standards document ( http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822 ) you will see that the display name can be any "phrase" and it has no real bearing, so I don't think quoting it will make a difference It also says there can be any character before the angle brackets including \r\n...

I doubt this is it, but it may be worth a try: from php.net: Note: If messages are not received, try using a LF (\n) only. Some poor quality Unix mail transfer agents replace LF by CRLF automatically (which leads to doubling CR if CRLF is used). This should be a last resort, as it does not...

That's possible. I've never seen anyone have a problem with phpBB before. In fact, before I started using SMF I had phpBB installed and running. From phpBB's website: A SQL database system, one of: * FireBird 2.0 or above * MySQL 3.23 or above * MS SQL Server 2000...

Don't count on any of the status pages displaying correct information. I've been told by the staff that these methods are based on the outdated system and are not reliable. This works for me: http://philipt.info:2082/

My guess is there was a closing php tag with some character after it (maybe even an unprintable character) in the file /includes/functions_install.php at line 24. Maybe try downloading the phpBB .zip file again, then upload it using CPanel, then unzip it using cpanel. Otherwise, you can post...

With a fresh install of any forum, the file permissions should be good. Did you mess with the .htaccess file? Did you use the correct file path when setting up the forum (ie. "home/username/public_html" and not "/")? Did you chmod your public_html to a different setting? I can't think of many...

If you want to do graphics, you should look into flash animation. PHP and Javascript/HTML have been around forever and really aren't cutting edge in the graphics world. A lot of really cool sites use flash. An example: http://www.easytemplates.com/preview/300110356

You can also suppress errors for one line using @. If you are trying to file_get_contents() from a site outside of your own, consider this (from php.net): Note: If you're opening a URI with special characters, such as spaces, you need to encode the URI with urlencode(). :)

It sounds like more like a stristr (from php, I don't remember the C equivalent if there is one). If I understand correctly, this function finds the letter "x" in a string and returns it's position. I'll try to get you started, I think you'll understand this better if you do most of it yourself...

Awesome, Livewire, I actually laughed out loud when I read your post :P SQL by design is an extremely well optimized storage. As Livewire said, as long as you do your part to design the database well and use efficient queries, the number of records can be astronomical in your database without...

there are functions out there to manipulate date/time strings. You can add/subtract hours to make the printed time in the correct time zone.

The problem with doing this is every forum software out there is going to make two identical websites if the databases are identical. Can't you have a board for each topic instead of a separate website? Also, it is possible to mask the fact you are using the same board by using htaccess tricks...

Instead of using file reads, why don't you include() the file?

I believe this is a server wide setting and anything you set in your htaccess is overridden by the highest level htaccess.

If you delete everything, you have no page to view, which is a problem. But, the issue may be the browser cache. Clean your cache and this will probably go away.

One more edit >< Make sure the variables are set before using them. I get this error if the variable is undefined. Edit: I'm still wrong...It looks like indexes are the problem. If you replace $_REQUEST[...] with any other variable, it works, it's just the associative index. $_REQUEST[0] works...

one sec...I'm working on it...will edit result in soon :P
