I think that you need to consider / explain how you want to accomplish this in a bit more detail. It seems that you need to keep track of who is active and the time of their last activity. If they have closed the web page for your site, then …

It's time for you to pause and calmly sort things out a bit before jumping into something else. It seems that you have a passion for music and you don't necessarily have a clear passion for anything else. Just doing something to make money without having much real interest in …

The actual number of records being read from the database shouldn't have much impact unless it is really large. If you are displaying a very long list on a web page that will have some impact. The solution to that is to use "pagination" to display a fixed number at …

You might want to read about the history of the Chrome Browser to get a feeling for what it takes to put something like that together. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome[/URL] You might want to read this one as well: [URL="http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/16-10/mf_chrome?currentPage=all"]http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/16-10/mf_chrome?currentPage=all[/URL]

Those who spend time helping to provide solutions deserve, but very often don't get some positive feedback. Maybe showing something as solved isn't treated by everyone as being significant but you have to take what you can get. As mentioned, many op's make a single post with their issue and …

You need to clarify the information and your question. You say that the user can choose one form at a time. Does this mean that the user can choose to complete just one form or that he is required to complete more than one / all of them? Your question …

It sounds as if you are trying to create an email service like GMail or Yahoo Mail as opposed to an email client. If that is the case, I think that you are into something pretty complex if you try to build it yourself. There are many mail server systems …

You might want to do a search and find some sample systems and see how they were built. This is one that I found: [URL="http://www.phpkode.com/projects/item/justreason-engine/"]http://www.phpkode.com/projects/item/justreason-engine/[/URL]

You haven't provided too much info on the program or the course so there isn't much context for your question. I would interpret "management of IT" as being the impact on Corporations (and their IT departments) of the future direction of one of these technologies. Your ability to provide a …

I looked at this site and I don't see any working drop-down menus. I'm not prepared to spend the time doing the debugging that you need to do. Maybe someone else is but that may be why you don't have any responses yet. If you at least showed what was …

I'm sure that it is possible but an (easier) alternative (maybe a first step) would be to create a mobile-friendly version of your website that can be accessed using the browser on a smartphone or tablet. This is mainly a matter of displaying the screen so that it works on …

I suggest that you contact BluePay and see if they have any sample code or know of anyone who has done this. [URL="http://www.bluepay.com/developers/developer-support"]http://www.bluepay.com/developers/developer-support[/URL]

Please use code tags when you include code and clarify your question.

Do you want to write this as a learning exercise or because you think that you need to? There are open-source schedulers available that can probably do a lot of what you need (and maybe a lot more). One example is [URL="http://mrbs.sourceforge.net/"]here[/URL]. I'm sure that if you do some searching …

Please use code tags when you include code. Don't include your Database id and pw for your own protection. Some web hosts don't allow you to create databases dynamically. You have to use their control panel / PHPMyAdmin. If that isn't a problem, then double-check that your db info is …

When PHP gives you an error, you need to spend some time desk checking the code to see what you missed. That is a part of programming in PHP as much as writing the code. PHP can't always pin it down to the exact line but it is often the …

What is a Proxy Server? [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server[/URL] Using a Proxy Server from PHP: [URL="http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=242255"]http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=242255[/URL] It's all out there. These are pretty straightforward.

I think that you are asking us to do part of your project for you. Why don't you do a bit of research first (there is lots of info available if you do some searching) and present the results here and ask for some feedback. That way you are adding …

For the future, please use code tags when you include code. This code is trying to calculate the total value in a column (not a row). If you want to group the results (and provide sub-totals) you will need to use an Order clause in the Select and your While …

If what you want to do is to show it formatted (interpreting all of the HTML tags rather than showing them with the text) then you need to display what is in the db as an html page. Simplistically, read what's in the db and echo it to the screen.

A few observations: [list] [*] There are a lot of capable technical people out there that you would be competing with. Many are in countries like India, Pakistan and the Philippines and willing to work at a much lower hourly rate than we would normally expect in North America. Have …

You don't say what you actually tried or were thinking of trying. If the site had some sort of API then you could use that but there is no indication of that so I assume that this will be a "screen-scraping" exercise. You can read the page periodically and extract …

It seems that the easy way would be to have a "date of last activity" and use that to sort them.

if you post your code with code tags, that would help.

There isn't a standard reporting tool like Crystal Reports (that I am aware of) that you can use from PHP. You will probably have to "roll your own" and that is what Cwarn23 is implying with the references he provided. You can see a discussion on this topic at: [URL="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/747103/something-like-crystal-reports-for-php"]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/747103/something-like-crystal-reports-for-php[/URL] …

A couple of thoughts: [LIST] [*]Precede every entry with the keyword(s) that they entered, then the 500 char just to emphasize that there is a connection. [*]Scan each entry for the keyword / phrase and then show the result as "...[I]keyword[/I] remaining 4xx characters" Thus the result in these cases …

The first one has little or nothing to do with the last two. Very few programmers will invent anything of consequence and very few will get rich by programming. Thinking that they are connected may be the result of a naive understanding of how some of the successful companies like …

At one point many years ago, I did it for a paycheck. Since then, I've done because I enjoy creating a program and seeing it work and hopefully do something useful. I still make a few dollars off some of the stuff that I do but a lot of it …

Since I got my new laptop, I've been using Chrome because it is pretty lean and maximizes the usable area (my resolution is 1366 x 768). It's faster than FF and most of the time, I don't need the FF plugins.

You should probably start by checking php.ini and ensure that everything is turned on for msssql that needs to be.

There are other ways to produce a PDF file but I find it simplest to create the output in html first, make sure that it is all displaying correctly and then let [URL="http://html2pdf.fr/en"]HTML2PDF[/URL] convert it. You need to ensure that the HTML is complete (e.g. every opening tag has a …

If I remember correctly, the most common way is to link to the appropriate php module with the javascript variable as a parm. This is an example: [CODE] echo "<script language='JavaScript'> var w = screen.width; var h = screen.height; //alert('You are using ' + w + 'x' + h + …

As a server-based language, PHP isn't really intended to control local devices. For security reasons, it is generally prevented from accessing anything on the local system except for a few explicit cases like files uploads and downloads. Javascript can be used for some local stuff (and that can be generated …

There isn't an easy and obvious solution for this. You can generate a PDF with PHP but pulling it apart is a different matter. The easiest solution would be to generate a file at the source that has exactly what you want and then all you have to do is …

It may be a cheap trick but probably the simplest way would be to open up the mail system in an iframe. This is really simple and provides the benefit of the features and the interface that is already built into the mail systems. You could build a POP3 or …

You can use an iframe to embed another url in a page.

$_REQUEST['id'] probably doesn't exist. You don't have an 'id' parm.

What is your point in adding to a thread that started in 2004 and hasn't had anything posted since 2009. Your post didn't add anything useful and neither did many of the sporadic posts since 2004.

This is called pagination. You can find a lot of previous posts on this site if you do a search. You can find a lot of references on [URL="http://www.google.ca/search?aq=f&gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=pagination+php"]Google[/URL] as well.

[URL="http://www.oscommerce.com/"]OSCommerce[/URL] is one of the best open source ecommerce systems. You should investigate it to see if it has any plugins that meet your other requirements.

If you mean, can internet access be limited to the server and not be available to the local PCs the answer is probably yes. I'll leave it to others who have more hands-on experience to confirm that and provide any pertinent details. For the second question, I presume that you …

It seems that you could store the cart data in a cookie or in the database and just get it where and when you need it.

It's all relative. If you happen to live in Angola, living beyond age 48 and making more than $600 / year in income would potentially qualify.

As per the previous suggestion, you could provide a form where the information can be pasted and saved to the DB. This makes some sense if the process is selective and the volume isn't too high. It is also possible to read from a mailbox directly and then save the …

It's probably simpler to get them from the DB. Otherwise, each time you want to access a value, you need to check if the session variables have been loaded and if not go to the module / function that loads them. There are purists who always look for the most …

OK, it's been more than an hour. What happened?
