Hmm, i tried xampp and didnt really like it, prefer to stick with wamp (its what i know ) Got it workign in the end though. Completely uninstalled and removed all wamp files and re-installed. came up with the same problem with the mysqli file. Tried using SQL Buddy rather than PHPMYADMIN and it worked fine! Wamp is incredibly temperamental.

I can use wamp fine, when i can get it working. Tis will be the 4th install ive done of it (on different computers) and the 2nd time ive faced problems. Any ideas on the mysqli issue? Ive gone into the php.ini file and not been able to find the extension=mysql line but it appears to be enabled in the extensions sub-menu. Help...

Ok, so now im getting: Cannot load mysqli extension. Please check your PHP configuration. The mysqli extension is currently enabled in the php version im running. Any ideas?

I always thought xamp was for macs only? Or am i wrong? I fiddled about with options and changed to another version of apache and php and it has started working, with the exception of mysql/phpmyadmin. I am getting the error of: 2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured) Wamp is so temperamental!!!

Yeah. Ive: Started all services Stopped then Started all services Re-started IE9 Re-started laptop Put server offline Put server offline then online Put server online None have worked... Im thinking that there is a conflist somewhere with ports or something (last time it was a conflict with skype), but i dont have skype or really many programs installed so cant understand it.

I recently re-installed my laptop to speed things up Im running: Windows 7 IE 9 AVG (latest Version) Wamp 2.1 (Well, trying to run...) Every time I install wamp I have problems and I am getting fed up if it, all I want to do is run a few PHP scripts... I am basically getting "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" and the Wamp icon is red

Hi All, Im looking for a script that ive used in the past (so i know it exists) but cant remeber what it was called. It was javascript, and made a horizontal bar appear at the very very top of the page, with a tap that expanded the bar when clicked? Anyone heard of it or know how to find it? Any Help Would Be Appreciated

Did a little googling and came up with a result: I'm using skype, which uses port 80 on an alternative!

Hi All, Just tried to boot wampserver and it shows a 404 message every time i attempt to load. The server says its running fine (green indicator). Have uninstalled then re-installed again and checked the host file but cant work out whats wrong. Can anyone help? Thanks In Advance

Hi all, I'm currently doing a web based project which involves using YouTube videos from popular TV shows and looking into the possible copyright issues before it goes online. I cant give too much away (it is a unique concept) but basically I'm using clips of popular TV shows straight from YouTube (I am not downloading or hosting the videos, they are being played direct from YouTube servers using their Player API). As I am not directly downloading/hosting/editing the videos, but simply allowing other users to view videos via my site, will there be any issues with copyrights? The end project will be free-use (you will not have to pay to use) and so I cannot afford insurance for the site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm with No-Wires (http://www.no-wires.net/) and their service is spot on. I havent had THAT much experience with hosts but they always reply to my queries within a few hours (even if its not their problem, but a problem with my code they still help!), they have minimal/no downtime, great bandwidth and good prices. Great service all round! Btw, there are no referral links here, I do not have any affiliation with them. I just love their service!

Hi all, Not sure where to post so put this here. I desperate need of a map of GB for use on a web project, and dont know where to find one thats not copyright protected. I need something with markings similar to this one (just need major cities/places highlighted): http://nl007.k12.sd.us/Classes/English%20IV/Brit%20Lit/great-britain%20map.gif Or even if i could use that one. Cant see any copyrights, any advice? (Its from an educational site) Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks P.S. The site is a non-profit, news/article site. Main function is similar to that of a free blog.

Hi all, I have recently decided to start an e-publication for one of my websites, but im having alot of trouble with sourcing the images for the publication. Previously I would have gone to a free stock image site, but with a specialised publication (hobby-based, so theres not alot of stock images available for it) im having trouble finding images from these sources. Can I use images from google images, providing they are credited correctly some where in the publication? Also, does anyone have any tips as to the general design/layout of the publication. Its basically one a3 page = one page of the publication (its nothing major, along the lines of a newsletter - 4 pages)? Many Thanks in advance

Usually you would use CSS, something like this: text-align: left; placed in the css of the container div

Some of those backgrounds are actually quite nice...

Just wondering about what all of your thoughts were about my latest site: http://png2html.co.uk Design or otherwise?

Hi all, Been a while since I posted on here. I have just started up a new "venture" and really want to do as much as I can to make it successful (for a while at least). Here is my new business: http://png2html.co.uk (Fairly self explanatory I think!) What is the best way of getting the customers in? Advertisment or otherwise? I know that work of mouth is quite useful but how do you start the process off? Thanks in Advance

Hi All, Im in the process of re-designing one of my sites and need to know where I can get some images with the 'windows live' theme. For an example of the style of image i want see attached, look at the background (the part with the arrows pointing at it). What i want to know is what the style of image is (i.e. is is cartoon...)? Also, if anyone knows where i can get images like that, either paid or free? Many Thanks, I apologise if what I want is a little unclear.

I sometimes have the same problem as you. I usualy build my sites about something im interested in, then at least you have some prior knowledge about the topic to work with (i wouldnt build a site about tennis when i know nothing about the subject!!). All I do want to say though is be prepared to put alot of time and some money into it. I started up a site about my chose topic about a year ago and only now am I starting to see results.

Have had play around in paint and attached an image. No transparecy (which is what your original image had) but should pretty much match at the top/bottom, minu on pixel or so.

Ok, it would probably be better if you forget all of that. You say that the contact form will be hosted in the product pages and links directly to your php mailer script? If so then it would probably be better to do this: Put this code at the top of your php script (in the "Values from the form" section): $referrer=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; And then include it in your mail function like this (replace the code that is currently there): // SEND THE EMAIL TO YOU mail($recipient, $subject, $message."\n Referrer: $referrer", $headers); This simply gets the url of the page that links/redirects to the php script. Probably alot easier that adding tonnes of lines of code.

We all have to start somewhere with PHP, and it can be a confusing language for beginners. START BY EDITING THE PAGE WHICH HOSTS YOUR FORM 1. Put this at the top of your form page, where your user inputs the information (make sure it is a php file, not html) <!-- REMOVE THIS COMMENT --> <?php function curPageURL() {$pageURL = 'http'; if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";} $pageURL .= "://"; if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") { $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; } else { $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; } return $pageURL;} $current_url=curPageURL(); ?> <!-- REMOVE THIS COMMENT --> 2. Put this into your form: <!-- REMOVE THIS COMMENT --> <input type="hidden" name="page_url" value="<?php echo $current_url; ?>" /> <!-- REMOVE THIS COMMENT --> NOW EDIT YOUR PHP MAILER FILE 3. Make sure your PHP mailer script picks up the posted info. The first part grabs the variable via $_POST $page_url=$_POST['page_url']; You can then put the $page_url variable wherever you want it to be displayed. Can i ask the purpose of why you want to get the page url? The purpose may alter the way in which you should go about it. All of this will get the url of the page where the form is hosted. Please remove all "<!-- REMOVE THIS COMMENT -->" sections, these were added so that you will be able to see the code.

Put the function at the very top of the page (the code that starts with "function curPageUrl()"). You will then need to convert into a variable (place this code between the function and the bit where the message is created for the mailer): $current_url=curPageURL(); which can then be included in your email message: // CREATE THE EMAIL $headers = "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; $headers .= "From: $firstname $surname <$email>\n"; $recipient = "email@email.com"; $subject = "Contact form enquiry from YOUR website"; $message = wordwrap($message, 1024); $message .= "\n"; $message .= "\n"; $message .= "$firstname $surname"; $message .= "\n"; $message .= "$email \n \n $current_url"; $message .= "\n"; $message .= "Tel: $telephone"; // SEND THE EMAIL TO YOU mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers); This will get the url of the file which sorts out mailing and stuff. If you want to get the url of the form then put the variable ($current_url) as a hidden field which can be retrieved by your script. Sorry if this is confusing. I would just send you a complete script but all of your spacing is really messed up in all of my code editors. What are you using to code?

Thanks. Might have a go if I attempt another wp blog. And ive found out the cause of the problems now. Did a virus scan and it picked us a theme I had downloaded to contain a trojan, so its not wp's fault. Always suspected the themes as i did a quick google search and they all pointed towards dodgy themes, although its strange as i couldnt find any iframes in the html. Can i make a suggestion if any of the mods/admins read this. Remove this topic and possibly the other wp themes that the particular user has submitted. That was where the torjan originated from and I dont want any other users being put off (like myself) because of one inconsiderate person.
