Alright so I have a very big list of songs I need to get, and at the moment I'm using textedit on my Mac (like notepad).

I have the title of the song and the name of the author on one line, on another line then I have written down where I have found it for sale or wherelse I can get it.

I also put them in colours sometimes. Green = easy to get, red = next to impossible/very rare.

Now I had the idea to make a little website that I keep on my computer and put in my bookmarks, where I can add these songs or delete them. I know how to do all of what I'm actually wanting to do and I think it would be fun/a nice feature.

I know it's not much more work to write it down in textedit, but I wanted to make a feature where I have a button and it automatically puts it in red or automatically deletes it when I have the song.

The thing is - I would have to leave MAMP on all the time. And I don't want that. But I have heard of a technique where a PHP script creates an HTML page. Do you think this would be a solution for my little project? And would I still need MAMP to be turned on for that? (I guess yes)

Or do you guys know any other methods? I would really like to make this - I think it's really cool

Hello everyone!

Alright I haven't done any web developpement in ages but I have a client now and just finished the website - everything went fine, site looks good, I'm happy I haven't forgotten that much. But now I'm working on an admin zone (you know with .htaccess and so on) and I'd like to add some features so she can upload pictures and movies and write posts on her own etc... basically avoiding me having to upload everything every time and messing with the codes. Of course she's gonna pay me extra for that

So what I need obviously are Mysql/phpmyadmin to create DBs - but I have to say, I absolutely do not remember how to get it working. I remember for my own site, phpmyadmin was already there and the server also had Mysql. So is there a way I can "upload" or install it on that server (which isn't mine) or do we have to ask the provider to do so?


Thanks in advance guys and girls!

Hi all!

Long time I haven't been here, very nice new design!

Anyway. I'm doing a website for someone at the moment. On one of the pages, there was some text in three languages. However, they told me there's too much text on that page, so they wanted to have a link to another page for each language. I thought the idea was stupid and made 3 links (called "English", "Deutsch" and so on) which toggle on or off the text via Javascript on the very same page - so much better! The thing is I don't really know Javascript and I have actually found this script on another website, and now here comes my problem:

When I click on one of these language-links, it hides or unhides an invisible div, which contains the text in the corresponding language. So far so good. When I click on another language-link, it will hide the currently open invisible div and open the other one automatically. But when I open the page for the first time, all of the 3 invisible div's are "open", which means the text in all 3 languages is there. I would only like to have these three links (English, Deutsch etc..) and then, ONCE I click them, the div unhides.

Here's the Javascript:

<script language="javascript"> 

function showonlyonev2(thechosenone) {
      var newboxes = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
      for(var x=0; x<newboxes.length; x++) {
            name = newboxes[x].getAttribute("name");
            if (name == 'newboxes-2') {
                  if (newboxes[x].id == thechosenone) {
                        if (newboxes[x].style.display == 'block') {
                              newboxes[x].style.display = 'none';
                        }
                        else {
                              newboxes[x].style.display = 'block';
                        }
                  }else {
                        newboxes[x].style.display = 'none';
                  }
            }
      }
}
</script>

Newsboxes-2 is the name of one of the Divs!

It's urgent because it's almost finished and I need to finish it today, because I will have no more time until next year from tomorrow!

I hope someone can really help me out, well actually I'm sure someone can!

Cheers and good evening!
