Some good advise there which I will pass on. BUT I not sure that helps with the fact the google just aren't going to many of the pages on the site. Its almost like there ignoring pages.

oops doesn't help that I have given you the wrong url try this one... www.brighton.uk.com

I have a website that the home page used to be listed on google. Then all the listings vanished. Now only some pages are appearing in the index but not the main pages. I have used all my normal techniques for getting the site listed (normally i get sites listed in 1 - 4 weeks on google). Yahoo has a reasonable list of pages for the site. Bing only has the home page. The only pages google has gone a visited is the forum which is good but not that usefull. Site in question www.brighton.co.uk Can anyone shed some light to why this might be happening?

I have a little bit of code that i need to take the date from my database and ad 1 year to it. So far I have found this code <?php $date = "binding goes in here????"; $newdate = strtotime ( '+1 year' , strtotime ( $date ) ) ; $newdate = date ( 'Y-m-d' , $newdate ); echo $newdate; ?> but when I try inserting the database binding into the "" in the first line it all goes wrong. The binding in its simplest format looks like this <?php echo $row_renew_list['date']; ?> So what is the syntax for inserting this into the ""

RBS Worldpay, and their documentation isn't all that helpful. How would I change the code just to display the url rather than redirecting it?

Mmmmmm not sure, its to do with the merchant account transaction to send people back to the correct page on my website. The little peice of code works fine if you just post a form the the php script it redirects perfectly. But the url needs to go back to the merchant account so tey can display the page. So it sort of needs to go back as just the url with nothing else. At the moment the response from the script shows 'location: http://www.brighton.uk.com/beta/standard_listing.htm' and I think its the 'location: text that is causing the problem.

Could your code be modified just to send the url as a response rather that actually trying to redirect the browser to another page. The current code sends the "location:" text as well as the url The script only needs to send the redirect url rather than actually redirecting the browser. Hope i'm making sence????

Works a treat thank you Craig

Can any one help me with a little syntax problem i have. Currently the code reads <?php header("location:http://www.brighton.uk.com/beta/$row_rbs_redirect['redirect']"); exit; ?> where the last part of the url is gathered from a recordset. The problem is in this area but i don't know what's wrong with it. I just inserted the code from the bindings panned in DreamWeaver. thank you

That really gives me something to work with - Thank you all. A friend mentioned using cookies. ie store the whole form in a cookie then retrieve the information from the cookie in the final confirmation page. This sound a similar solution to the session variable

I am developing a website that is basically a online directory. I would like the user to first fill in their details in a form then be moved to a payment page then go to a thank you and contents confirmation page then finally the contents of the form are inserted into a database. I already have the form, I have the solution for the payment page and the final database insert. BUT what I don't know is how to temporally store the form contents for use in the final page. I know I could ask for payment first than do the whole fill in the form and insert into the database in one go, I feel it is better for the user to fill in the form first then pay second. The site is being developed in DreamWeaver using PHP and MySQL

A client of mine would like to have the files that are available to download from their website to be managed by some sort of download manager. ie when you click to download a file on the website a small application is downloaded first that installs on to a customers computer, this will then deal with the remainder of the files download. Adobe use a similar sort of system when downloading their trial software. Any pointers would be great as all I can find is an application that you can download that helps with any download from any website, not quit what i'm after. Cheers

Hi All I have a client that has a website that has a facility to download self extracting .exe files. Currently this is done by clicking a link to the .exe file and selecting save from the dialogue box that appears. The problem she is having is on a number of occasions the exe files does not download fully leaving the end customer with in incomplete download. My questions are: 1) why could she be having this download issue 2) is this the best way of doing a download 3) what would be the best way. website is www.cmdatabases.co.uk

Thank you Dan I am asking my hosting company as I type this. I had never come across cron tab before I just knew I needed something that would automatically check the dates and send an email notification.

I have a couple of projects that need the same sort of functionality added to them. Both projects have a time based purchase i.e. you buy something from the site which times out after a specified period of time. I can record the purchase date and I can create an email that gets sent to the customer saying there purchase has timed out, but I don't know how to code the bit in the middle i.e. keeping an eye on the date then sending the specified email when the time elapses. I guess its sort of like a subscription.

I'm sure this question has been asked thousands of time on this forum, but which cart do you use?

At the moment they use Quickbooks so that could be a possibility. The cart I'm thinking of using is Webassist.com eCart.

I am going to be develpoing an ecommerce site, but the client wants to automate the accounts side of things, ie they do not want to have to enter every transaction from the site into their accounts package. Is this even possible or does anyone have any ideas on the subject.

Very good point, BUT the content on the wordpress sites are all different.

Doesn't Google have rather a dim view of sites that are just copies of another site?

Hi all I currently have a main website. I have just got an additional domain that is an alias to the main site. I would like customers to be able to find my main site with the help of the keywords that are in the new domain name ie webdesign. From what I have read online I don't think this is possible with just the alias and I would need to make the new domain a unique website all on its own. Does any one have any better information on the subject.

I will try the Zip technique and see if this helps. Then come back for more suggestions.

I have a client who sells contact management software from their site. Its a simple process, fill in a few contact details, tick t&c, then you are transferred to a download page, where you select the package you want and click download. The file is only about 5Mb and is self extracting file. Some costumes seam to be having problems downloading the file. It either gets stuck or downloads but is in-complete. The Host can't find any problems, nor can I. Any thoughts from the more technical folks.

Did any read the article on Firefox on the PC pro website. Link to article. I mainly use FF for browsing as I always felt it was safer then IE. What does everyone else think on the subject? Colin

Hello Everyone My name is Colin and I run a web design company based near Haywards Heath in west Sussex Visit My Website. I have been designing and developing websites since 2002. I used to be a mechanical designer but found my self frustrated by this aspect of design. Web design gave me the freedom to design something I would be really pleased with, along with the technical side which keeps this side of my mind active. I'm hoping I will get allot out of this forum, both technically and artistically. Colin
