 | Here is a short list of packages that can be used to install a LAMP stack on your PC (if you are running Windows). I could only find this list in the internet archive as it has been deleted from Wikipedia. Any one of these should pretty quickly get you …  |
| | Do an error check (check the return) on each of the MySQL functions. One of the previous ones is failing.  |
| | Are you trying to send emails from a local test server or from a proper "production" server. A local test server isn't normally set up to allow sending of emails.  |
| | If you are so anxious to write another vBulletin, maybe you should do a bit of research to understand what you are getting into. For starters, the history of vBulletin itself: [I]In 1999, [1] James E. Limm and John Percival were running a Visual Basic website using Infopop's UBB.classic forum … |

| | This is called debugging and it's a skill that you need to learn if you are going to write code. The simplistic version would be to insert a few (extra) echo's into your code so you can follow the path of what it is doing. You will no-doubt find by … |
| | If other users sent emails classified as spam from justhost, then the spam filters may have blocked some/all of their IPs. You should read about spam filtering and you'll understand more about what the spam filters look for and what you need to do to avoid them. There isn't a … |
| | This explanation is a few years old but th basics haven't changed: [Click Here](http://www.serverwatch.com/tutorials/article.php/10825_3567741_1) There are many packaged Lamp stacks that you can install on your local PC to use for development and testing. This provides a list of the ones you can use for a Windows environment: [Click Here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_WAMPs) |
 | I have worn glasses since I was 10 or 12 years old so for me that's normal. What I resisted for a long time was getting hearing aids. Loud music and genetics seriously reduced my mid and high frequency hearing. Getting hearing aids seemed like something that old people do …  |
| | With his cell # and the cell phone provider you can send an email that will go to the phone. There have been lots of posts on this topic. You can start with these: [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/search10163832.html"]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/search10163832.html[/URL] |
| | I have a new laptop running Win 7 64 bit and it's really great. My old laptop had Vista and I lived with that for three years. I have machines with Win 98 and XP and I also ran my old laptop on XP for a while. There are some …  |
 | I guess that the first question to ask is why you want to do this. Are you doing it because you have a business need that you can't find an app for; or, is it because you believe that there is a market for whatever it is that you will … |
| | There are many good solutions. GoDaddy isn't one of them. |

| | I used HTML2PDF ([Click Here](http://html2pdf.fr/en/default)) quite successfully in the past. The main limitation is that you need to have properly constructed HTML. I don't know if what you provided above was intentionally just a series of fragments but it doesn't have <head> or <body> statements and that would probably give … |
| | If you are using a Linux server, you can set the access to the folder to 400 to limit it to reading by the system. |
| | The previous post shows how many programs handle translation between different languages but it is still basically assuming the standard character set. In this case, you need to be able to encode the web page to display Hindi characters. That is beyond the normal translation approach. Have a look at … |
| | You want to hire the best people you can find and that could result in having many people who are technically stronger than you are. If you are used to being the leader of the pack based on being the best developer, that may make you pretty uncomfortable. Strong technical … |
 | You can build your own PHP site on a multi-domain linux server as well. You can use the standard PHP mail function or you can use a library module that makes it even easier. If you have a specific question or concern, then you need to clarify what it is. … |
| | This has been covered many times in this forum. You can do a search on SMS and you should find a bunch of previous posts. In a nutshell you can send an SMS like an email as long as you know the cell phone provider, the person's cell phone address … |
| | I am not familiar with mssql or its stored procedures but I believe that you need to upload the file to the server first. That means a form and an input statement with the appropriate Enctype" [code=html] <form action=\"$curr_form\" method=post ENCTYPE=\"multipart/form-data\" name=admin> ... <input type=file enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" name=\"userfile\" > ... <input … |
 | If it is just a set sequence, why not save the page name each time in a session variable and check that variable on entry to the next page. |
| | Why? If you want someone to spend time explaining how to do something, then you should provide a better answer as to why you want to do it. |
 | Not all of the flip books require images. This one will take text: [Click Here](http://tympanus.net/codrops/2012/12/11/fullscreen-pageflip-layout/) You can generate the jquery code and insert the text in your PHP module. Using a PDF for the input complicates it. The simple approach would be to use text files instead (convert to text … |
 | Re: Shipping Deals If this is an innocent question "...My friend suggested that I should try parcelbound.com" then why do you show a link to this company in your signature. Looks like spam. |
| | I wrote a similar type of licensing module to use in a PC application. It (remotely) executed a php module on my server every time it started up. It passed various info about the PC on which the program was running as well as the license info. The PHP program … |
 | This seems rather troll-like: * First Post * Hopelessly open-ended question with no real connection to Daniweb * Lists location as "Washington" but shows company with Autralian web site  |
 | > Far from upholding the rights of the citizens, as it claims to do, the NRA are quashing public debate and research. How's that for irony? Since the NRA gets a lot of funding from the Arms Industry, it isn't surprising that they would support whatever is in the interests … |
 | You can see ratings for a number of hosting companies [URL="http://www.besthostratings.com/"]here[/URL]. I have used ICDSoft for many years. They provide high reliability and great service. |
 | You have to take online ratings with a grain of salt but I looked at this one and the ratings for Media Temple seemed rather mixed. I have seen a lot of user concerns with GoDaddy. There are many hosting options and probably many that would be better than either … |
 | Your wording is a bit confusing but it does seem that you're trying to export to a .xls file. The code that I use (that works) is: header("Content-type: application/msworks"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$dfw_filename"); header("Pragma: no-cache"); header("Expires: 0"); print "$dfw_header\n$dfw_data"; This is included in my desktop_file_write module that you can download at: … |
| | You could buy a couple of cheap third party cartridges to try it but why bother? The price of a new printer with ink cartidges is often the same or less than you'll pay for a couple of replacement cartridges. |

| | I believe that this one is the best for generating PDF's from HTML: [URL="http://html2pdf.fr/en/default"]http://html2pdf.fr/en/default[/URL] It handles forms and Javascript and pictures and almost anything that you can throw at it. |
| | This may be a convenience for the user but it may also reduce the security and possibly the trust in the process. Credit card processors have high security sites because of the nature of the business. Sending the user to the third party site means that you don't have to … |
| | I spent a bit of time with RainTPL the last time that Ardav mentioned it in a post and I agree that it is pretty simple and straightforward. I would certainly consider it for something new. Retrofitting it would need some meaningful payback to make it worthwhile. |
| | Re: Daniweb Perhaps you have misinterpreted the word "help". Help in this context is mostly advice and sometimes ideas or just comments. The advice may include some code but this isn't a free version of Odesk or Elance. You are basically asking for development resources to do work for you (help with …  |
| | I would think that the best way would be to use a form with hidden variables for the parameters. The other option would be a link with the variables as parameters (<a href=xxx.pyt?a=xxx&b=yyyy...). I'm not able to advise you on how to access these in the Python script but it … |
| | Even though it is a related question, you should have probably started a new thread since you are asking a new specific question. If you have a local program that will convert ppt to SWF and you can provide it with parameters from the PHP program, then you can probably … |
 | I don't have a specific answer for you but you may want to look at [this document](http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/#META) about caching (including options and issues). As a general rule, you don't want to force your whole site to be reloaded every time because there are probably significant parts that don't change very … |
| | I have never used a server that uses Plesk but let's just deal with it logically: * Plesk is a control panel facility. To install an application, you may not need to use Plesk at all. Installing a PHP application usually involves uploading the code to the right directory on … |
| | First of all, if you are new to programming / scripting, you will need to take some (significant) time to do some learning before you'll be able to put together a solution. There are many sites that have tutorials (w3schools.com is one) but first you will need to figure out … |
| | Re: transloader I did a server-to-server script but I did it using ftp. This script is intended to upload from a client machine and I doubt that you could modify it to make it work for what you want. You need a totally different approach. Chris |

| | If I interpret what you're saying, you want to run a successful web development business but to do that you feel that you need more hands-on technical knowledge. You feel that you can't successfully hire and manage others to do the work without it. Even though you might enjoy doing … |
| | First you should provide a bit of detail on how you are trying to run it. To run PHP code, you need a server. Do you have a local test server (like WAMP) that you are using. If not, there are many available that you can download and install.  |
| | The first step is to become a little less clueless and read the recent post on "[Read This Before Posting a Question](http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question)" If you had done that, you would know how to get the answer to your own question. You could have done a web search and found pages like … |
| | This latest error looks as though you have an include error in the config module. Do you have an include for bootstrap.inc on line 12 of config.php? |
| | You haven't provided a lot of detail but maybe they should be using a content management system (e.g. Wordpress) instead of building with Dreamweaver. If they are committed to using Dreamweaver then they should probably get some training. I don't think that they need programming skills to use Dreamweaver but …  |
| | Apparently, you can trademark a color even though it is difficult.
