thanks for your comments and suggestions, I agree with all the points you made and ill be working to implement them shortly. I have already started optimizing the images so they will display quicker. yea it'll definatly be on a real host before the launch, hopefully then with further optimization of the images and a jquery slideshow things will run a little quicker. Thanks for your time. Chris

Hi, Thank you for all your comments. I apologise for the load time of the website, the website is hosted on my home pc, the url is resolved to my ip via a dns. Also i have not yet optimized the layout for web, sorry. I used wondershare flash gallery software to create the flash image slideshow. I chose this for the transition effects and ease of implementation. Thanks Chris

http://pool-seal.dyndns.org:8666/pool-seal/PoolSeal.php Hi, Above is the website I am currently working on, I hope you like it, Obviously its incomplete and located on a test server. I know that my main weakness is in Photoshop, I'm finding it difficult to achieve that clean professional look, I was wondering if any one had any comments or suggestions on how I could improve the overall quality and appearance of this website. I am not too fussed about typo's my main area of concentration is still in the layout. i will also move on to an external style sheet eventually. Cheers Chris

ahh wicked i have got it to work now, there was another exit() hidden in the script,it lead me to believe that the include_once was not working properly but it was errors in the script. this is a great learning curve. thank you for all your help guys. Chris

i have changed that now and it still behaving in the same way. thank you for all you help so far. Chris

brilliant now it is displaying the footer and will allow me to add another include_once to the same page, im having agsactly the same issues on this page except this one is also missing the right content and the footer http://92.8.199.227/review-form-page.php?item_id=1 review-form-page.php makes an include like : <? include_once '/review/review_form.php'; ?> I have checked the script for the exit function like before but it aint this, i guess this means that it is something in the included script that is failing so the rest of the review-form-page.php code is'nt get executed. thank you very much for your help Chris review_form.php Review-Form-Page.php

i think this is what you meant,you can now view the source on anti-insect.php and see: #Footer{ background-color: #FFFFFF; width:990px; height:27px; float:left; } with the rest of the css. if i had the include_once situated in the header then execution stops before the footer, perhaps in body and i loose more of the content below. thanks Chris

<? $item_id = 1; global $item_id; global $item_name; include_once '/review/my_review.php'; ?> this still dosent work, it executes my_review.php fine but not the footer of anti-insect.php. this is very strange,could it be any thing to do with the php.ini file?

any suggestions? This is really annoying me now, i just cant find where the error is and why nothing works after the include_once \ require_once call. thanks Chris

good spot i left that in by mistake, i have removed it and am still having the same issues.

thankyou, i have uploaded two files to use as an example but im having this problemb with every include_once / require_once in my site. basically anti-insect.php was originally a .html file,i just changed the file extention and inserted this code to make the script appear where i want it. <header> <div id="Reviews"> <? $item_id = 1; global $item_id; global $item_name; require_once '/review/my_review.php'; //Works ?> </div> <footer> this calls my_review.php but i cant get it to return to anti-insect.php to finish executing the footer. Anti-Insect.php my_review.php

hi, i am trying to include functions from a php review script in my original web layout, to do this i changed my pages from .htlm to .php and i'am using the include_once function to call the script. for some reason when i include the script all code execution halts after it has been callled and focus does not return to the anti-insect.php page so the footer for my site is not shown. im not sure if i need to change a return value for the script or not. this is also preventing me from using multiple include_once to import two or more functions and display them in different area's on my website. this is very frustrating if any one could help me out i would be really happy, i have also included a link to the site that i am testing using the xampp server. http://92.8.199.227/Anti-Insect.php thankyou chris

thanks jonny, im really happy with my site so far too, i was really worried about the code and the methods i had used to store content,i chose to use div tags rather than a table based layout and didnt know which would be better. functionality wise i have tried to implement a few scripts: http://92.20.10.211/Anti-Insect.php?&item_id=1 -review script http://92.20.10.211/good-site.php - A poll its all still a work in progress but you get the idia, the review script is fully customizable so it could work out cool.

I just wanted to say cheers again, i really havent used php before but i have been able to implement the information you gave me into another area of my site and i have added a poll to my hompage still needs some work but the mechanics are there. thankyou http://92.21.245.69/Good-Site.php

ahh i see what you mean,something like this http://92.21.245.69/Anti-Insect.php looks like a lot more work but if i could get it right for one page then i should be able to do it for all the others. thanks its definatley something to keep me busy.

ahh thats brilliant news,defintaley the way forward,my site would be replacing an existing site so it may cause hassle for the search engine spiders and ranking if my pages change from .html to .php but im sure this is the better idea. thank you all very much for your time. Chris

hey, thanks for your replies so far i really appreciate it, i really do need to get better at designing graphics, i am not the best in photoshop. i am hoping that i can include good functionality that will make up for the graphics and then i can go back and do more work in photoshop. Chris

I read you could modify the .htaccess file by adding AddType application/x-httpd-php .html and run php code in html but i dont know if this would work for me, hmmm i dont like the idea of driving customers away from a site is there another way i could integrate it better?

Thanks for the info Jay you really helped me out,such a quick response too. i really appreciate it. just a quick question,would it be hard for me to integrate the script to run within my html actually on the product page so that a customer never has to navigate away from the page to leave a review? thanks again for your help

Hi this is my first website http://92.21.245.69/Good-Site.html it loads slow cos it is hosted locally, i am using xampp to test. I want to install this review script from http://www.SmartReviewScript.com it will allow customers to leave a review for products on the website,for the life of me i cant get it to work and was wondering if any one would be kind enough to point me in the right direction. for example when you click the write a review link @ http://92.21.245.69/Anti-Insect.html it wont let me rate the product. thankyou for your time

Hi this is my first website,it is very much still under construction and is hosted localy using xampp server to test.it requires more optimization but it does load faster when hosted remotley. i would also like to add php scripts so i can include a poll and product reviews. what do you think? http://92.20.10.211/Good-Site.html

I have used roman cart,i think its very simple to use and integrate and has satisfactory functionality capabilities,the merchant interface is also very simple to use. Romancart does seem a little on the dull side though,and i too am on the look out for a better solution for my website,i looked at google checkout and liked there google widget option is very easy to implement however it uses a floating drop down box which is no good for my site as it would mask images on my site. overall romancart is good and simple it does the job it just seems...well to simple for my liking. what else is similar to romancart?
