And here I am Have the account from some time now, but never bothered using it..

Anyway it took about 20 minutes to go through this list, so show me some love and follow me to..ok?

^-^

Oli:

I've cut out the duplicate getElementById because it's an expensive call. If you're referencing a DOM element over and over again, keep a pointer variable stored for it.

Thanks for that tip, i'll keep it in mind!

Mike:

And just as a reference, if you have a number and you + "" to it, it automatically converts to a string.

yep that I find-out the hard way! lol, anyway thanks for pointing it out.

so basically using pointer values shortens up your code, and when using numbers we have to use parseint() to convert string to integer.. ..

.......right? lol... I wanna learn, but i get confused with php functions and it's way of handling values

hmm, I suggest that you go to hotscripts.com search in the PHP section what you want to add on your website, look and play with the code and see what happens, that is how i learned php, beside of that i can suggest a nice book about php, PHP5 & MySQL Bible.

Having Dreamweaver won't help you much except for the collor reference while programming, you could use even notepad if you want.

Last tip. find a community by programmers for programmers where you can ask all questions about functionality, if you do it on 9rules , some have great knowledge to help you.

oh great I'll try that, thanks Oli !

I just came up with this

document.getElementById("rightTextPosition").value = (barPosition * 1) + (2 * 1);
and it works, but is not logic....
I'll go for your option ^_^

and god I hate JavaScript, but sometimes we just HAVE to use it, to get some interactive fast-response without (re)loading a page... beside of that i'm a php guru !

LOL at carmodyarc. I like the shortness of your name, but is suitable,since Microsoft really doesn't need Yahoo! and Yahoo should migrate with Microsoft since the are a nostalgic company on the web.....

I think YaMi is a nice name

I'm not much into WP but normally it's easier to write a small script, that contains a simple form with the fields you need , on submission the data you inserted will be saved directly into the database. basically the same way hackers do with old versions of phpbb and phphuke/postnuke.

but why you want to do this ? I mean this file needs some authentication to, which you get from the database as well. in the end you can work it into 1 file. using functions from wp is tricky since you script probably won't be in the same folder as the wp-admin, meaning relative paths to files and folders are different.

i second PHP.NET and online tutorials, I have 6 books about PHP which I hardly use really, a book normally gives you 2/3 examples in how you can use a function , on the web you can find loads of examples (yes also bad ones) but at the end everything about PHP/MySQL is documented online, with more examples and in 99% of the problems you have while programming a website or whatever someone on the otherside of the world already solved that problem and can be found on php.net in the user comments. you could also check phpclasses for solutions and about.com hold a few basic php tutorials..

Anyway if you insist in a book i recommend THE PHP5 and MySQL Bible but i'm not sure it will suit the biginner, but it covers all main and basic aspects about php5 and MySQL

$postpic value is "Array"

hmm, try this print_r($postpic,true) now all array values will be shown. something like

ARRAY (
url => some url
id => some id nr
)

now when we know what the url is,and can call it with something like $postpic["url"]

or if the array does not have the identifiers

ARRAY (

some url,some id nr,something else
)

it'll be something like this $postpic["0"]
and instead of 0 count at what place the url is, and take 1 of. so if the url is the fifth value it should be 4

anyway this

ARRAY (
some url,some id nr,something else
)

is unlikely, it probably will be displayed as

ARRAY (
0 => some url
1 => some id nr
)

This should help you a little further!

okay another problem less in the world, it's fixed.

Basically you can do Lookahead with regex and I did not know this, anyway here is the solution to the code posted before :

function callback($buffer)
{
$level = levelfix(); // ie. ../ || ../../../
$buff = preg_replace("1(src)=(['\"])((?:(? return ( $buff );

}
ob_start("callback");

hope it's usefull to someone

okay, have it fixed now, after some more reading I've found out php only handles POST if it is formatted in the right way, that is a valid ARRAY. i'm my case this was not wrong and i changed this: theStr += ele.name + ' : ' + ele.value + "n"; to this : theStr += ele.name + ' = ' + ele.value + "&"; and now it is working like it should.

thanks Mike, I'm going to try that asap. thanks for the thoughts

no screensaver. Monitor will switch off after 15 minutes, unless h'm watching a movie or two ^-^
Beside I've noticed from the above post, that some use the screensaver to gather information through rss or YouTube. my question now is: "Do you actually wait 10 minutes till the screensaver comes up?" and what if you accidentally move the mouse, you start over again?

It's not too complicated…

True, I've got the site setup just as i wanted to... anyway thanks for the replay, better late then never :)

I stay organized by being distinctly disorganized. Utter chaos seems to be far more organized that true organization is. Or so I keep telling myself anyways!

I lol'd... why ? Its the same thing i wanted to say, I'm going to post a picture of my computer room, but anyone could actually loose himself in this chaos.
Anyway back to the topic.

I don't think there is a way to get organized more or less, I have a good memory it if comes to items and where i placed them. if it comes to phone-numbers and names I am a complete mess, I used to store everthing in my phone, persons # , adress the whole thing. btw if you are to organized it's easier to get fired, because someone else could takeover your job easily, if it is a mess your boss won't fire you knowing it would take weeks to figure out what you where working on ^-^ thats my theory .

okay have it almoust working now, anyway here is the hash.salt work around...

$form_password = the value you send with the form.
$storedPassword = the value in the database

list( $pass, $salt ) = explode( ":", $storedPassword );
$form_password = md5( $form_password . $salt );
$form_password = $form_password .":".$salt;

now $form_password is equal to $storedPassword and all should work perfectly ! i hope

hmm, oli thanks for the help , there was actually a problem with the script.

You where right about the salting, joomla is all over it... (I hate that)..
and WP seems to double md5 hash the passwords ? hmm well this is going to take all night, for me it is the first time to work with joomla & wordpress, I am used to homebrewed scripts, phpwebthings and phpnuke(eeww).... and I haven't coded anything at all last 2 months, so it is a little complex...

after 1 hour of searching in the wp files i finally found where the actual piece of code is where we validate user login.. now i'm going to try to implent the salting technique joomla is using...

hmm, actually I don't think that is the problem . the weird thing is, if I take a value from a field, and drop it into another field, why is the value being changed?

here is a piece of the code:

$stmt_j = "SELECT * FROM ".$table_joomla." ";
$ret_j = mysql_query($stmt_j)or die("Could not successfully run query ($stmt_j) from DB: " . mysql_error()) ;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($ret_j)) {
$username = $row["username"];
$password = $row["password"];
$email = $row["email"];
$registerDate = $row["registerDate"];
$stmt_w = "SELECT * FROM ".$table_wp." WHERE user_login = '".$row["username"]."' ";
$ret_w = mysql_query($stmt_w)or die("Could not successfully run query ($stmt_w) from DB: " . mysql_error()) ;
if (mysql_num_rows($ret_w) == 0) {
$stmt_insert = "INSERT INTO ".$table_wp."
SET user_login = '$username',
user_pass = '$password',
user_email = '$email',
user_registered = '$registerDate' ";
$ret_insert = mysql_query($stmt_insert)or die("Could not successfully run query ($stmt_insert) from DB: " . mysql_error()) ;
}
}

You would expect that both password fields would match now, but this is not the case...

Well you can backup manually , I have done it 2 years ago (something less) for a friend of mine, it's a pain in the but though, attach your ipod to the pc, and browse the pod's folders, untill you find all kind of folders with weird-named.mp3 songs in it, copy them to your pc, and you have a raw backup of your ipod, but this is not what you want i think...
okay while writing here i found this : link Media Monkey
Keep A special note on step 6... that is what i did back in the day...

^-^ hope it works for you to

As a Developer (Php/Mysql) mainly for web-apps I think becoming a master in a developing language is very difficult? Why ? There are many ways to code/design/program an application, when you know all the ways to accief a final result then you are a master.
anyway if you need help or got stuck with some code, contact me, I'll see to get you back on track again.
