Only thing I don't like so much is having no control over the slideshow, if I miss a site I wanted to look at I have to wait for it to come round again- maybe some little thumbnails to the right? Also adding a bit more line spacing might make the text look neater. Other than that, it's great

I'm fairly sure that this works... div{ height:100%; display:block; } ...but I'm not 100% sure how "display:block" works, and whether it would affect your layout in other ways.

Looks really nice- my only problem with it is how long it takes to load. Not sure how much you've compressed the image files- maybe making it a more fixed layout and avoiding using the PNGs? That second photo on the right also adds a horizontal scrollbar to the page on my resolution (1024x768), might be a good idea to move or resize that. Does look good though- I agree with ErisDS on the cricket ball too, needs something more to give it a cricket-y feel

Personally, I think a large header looks nice but only really on the index page. I thought it looked good when I first opened the site, but when I clicked an article I felt I wanted it to be a bit smaller. I think everything else looks great, but one thing I'd try to improve would be the right hand section of that header- I can't say how I'd improve it, but I think if you play with the fonts and effects a bit it could look better, in my opinion. But yeah, pretty nice

Is there any way to get the owner's email address other than looking at the WHOIS info? All I can get is a postal address, which I suppose is worth a shot.

So I was going to buy a .co.uk domain with a hyphen in the middle, but I just went onto 123-reg.co.uk and it looks like someone else bought it today . After being angry for a bit I looked into other options, such as the .co.uk without a hyphen in the middle, and it appears that the person who owns this hasn't updated it in over a year (the page itself is a placeholder put there by the hosting company), and its renewal date is in June. The registrar is http://www.vibus.net/. My question is- how could I try to buy this domain? On that date in June, would the site become available? Or could it be set to automatically renew? edit: Just realised I put this in the wrong forum- sorry

Sorted it- I had to run the PHP installer again (selecting "Change") and installed the mysql extensions from there. Thanks for the help guys

I don't have an ext folder, just a "dev" folder.

I haven't got either of those lines in my php.ini file... :S

Where do I find this, and how do I install it?

Should it not need any further installation then? I have tried code similar to that, and nothing happens- not even the mysql error message prints. I even tried putting an echo statement just after it and that didn't produce anything on the page, so in effect from when I use mysql_connect the php file stops working. I'm not at home at the minute so I can't try that particular peice of code you posted, but if I recall correctly what I used was: <?php $connect = mysql_connect("localhost","root","*****"); if (!$connect){ die mysql_error(); } ?> Where *** is my password Is that much different?

I agree with that one As for alcoholic- got to be either Magners or Bulmers (usually just depends what's cheapest ).

I've used hand-coding from the start- I think it's definately the best way to learn. I use Dreamweaver at the minute, mainly because it makes the coding process easier- closing tags automatically, colour-coding everything, etc.

Hi, I'm working through a PHP/MySQL introductory book, and developing everything locally on my own PC. I've got Apache 2.2.8, PHP 5.2.5, and MySQL 5.0 installed. My problem is actually getting PHP to communicate with MySQL. The book I'm reading says to go to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/ and download what is there- problem is I get a 404 error when I go there. I checked the MySQL documentation on the site (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/connector-php.html) and it says the same thing. So... how do I get this working? Thanks
