There is a process to start everything. It doesn't run all the time. I'm not an XAMPP user but I'm sure that there is some pretty obvious documentation about how to start it up.

Your question is a bit unclear. What you seem to want to do probably isn't possible. If you are seriously asking how to interpret a bunch of bits in a graphic file and determine what it is then that would require some pretty serious artificial intelligence. Maybe the CIA has that sort of thing but I don't think that there is anything like that available to the general public, at least not yet.

Ajax may be far more complex than what you need but just in case, this is one example of using Ajax. I'm sure that you can find many others.

Yes, you could use some php to read a database and plug values into the html but as per Ardav's note, it has to be done on the server side. You can't have Javascript talking directly to the database. If all you want is database data plugged in, then no problem, PHP can do that. If you want the Javascript to process that data before it is displayed, then you would probably need to have your PHP code plug it into Javascript variables in the code that JS could then access when it gets control. If you wanted something more dynamic, then you could probably do something with PHP and the database on one side and the Ajax / Javascript running in the browser sending it requests.

try a print_r for $_POST at line 19 to confirm what is being posted.

If I was going to take a screenshot,I would use the Print Screen or Snipping Tool facilities in Windows. I don't understand why you would want to do this in PHP. If you are running under Linux then I'm sure there are similar facilities available. It's a manual process of course, so it would be very time consuming to do thousands. Since you must run the html scripts to get to the appropriate pages, I don't see how this could be automated.

Is this footer.php?

I use an older (free) version of Knowledge Base Publisher and I like it. The newer versions are no longer free but they presumably have more bells and whistles.

What you may want is one or more Accordion sections that open when you click on the header. Have a look at this page. It has an example so you can see if that's what you want. If so, there is some code there you can use.

Change your mysql_db_query to a mysql_query with the query string as the only parm. It will use the DB that you selected.

I have been documenting my laptop problem in the Vista forum (ref) but it seems that maybe the problem belongs here. The system is almost dead even though there is a way I can break out of it.

In a nutshell, there is something wrong at the POST stage that causes the machine to cycle on and off. I seems to do one quick read of the drive and then just sits there with the lights on and the screen black. After 20-30 sec it powers itself down and then immediately powers up again. It won't boot off a CD when it is going through its power on - power off cycle. Even though it starts to read the CD, the system powers down before it gets too far.

After enough tries, I can interrupt the loop with the Del key at which point it goes to the HP screen and then boots into windows. Once I'm able to get it started this way, it runs fine (I'm on it now).

Without going into the whole saga, I was able to create an XP system on a new hard disk (on this same laptop) and initiallty it was ok but it eventually had the same startup problem as the Vista system.

I already recreated the boot record just in case it was responsible for the problem. At an earlier point I also swapped out the memory sticks and used another pair (which didn't change …
