have you tried using urldecode($theURLyouwishtouse)

It's possible to delete the html file but all those 200 pages will still reference .html and if the server can't find it then it hopefully should select index.php in it's place. The best option if you're up to it is to add a .htaccess file to your server and use mod_rewrite to redirect page requests. Here's a good resource An easy example to understand is when you visit Flickr, it shows: www.flickr.com/photos/damien_m_in_japan actually looks something like this (to the server): www.flickr.com/photos/showprofile.php?username=damien_m_in_japan Hope this info helps

I've just been successful in my application to iStock (after 5 attempts) and I'm starting to put my pictures on there to sell them. Does anyone have any experience of online Stock libraries and making money from your pics? My iStock username is: Damien_M (if you want to check out my pictures)

Thanks!

Some of the pictures are good, but the hardest part of photography is knowing what to cut out. I'm no expert, believe me, but the fun part is trying. Keep up the good work!

I like the concept but it lacks a little resolution and clarity. The images need shadowing as mentioned above but they also need to be sharper as they are a little blurred and not easy on the eye. Good luck with the redesign

I've got the Nikon D40 and opted for the twin lens kit as it gives you more options. I would highly recommend a lens that has a wide range of zoom (18-200mm) as it means less swapping of lenses. For portraits, I've heard it's recommended to use a fixed lens (prime??) of about 105mm. I'm looking to get a macro prime lense and one with a wide aperture ( f1.4 or f2.8 ) for some really artistic shots. Check out what I've done on Flickr and leave a comment / become a contact if you'd like.

Hi Longstone, I think free hosting generally implies that you are gonna have to host ads so that the hosting company makes some money. I tried Brinkster a few years back as they had an "Education" package which was free but limited. My advice would be look to someone like Fasthosts who offer packages for £5 a month. Linux is almost always cheaper and it doesn't mean you have to know loads about Linux to use and get a site up and running. Good luck

uploads/name_of_file.jpg just reading and googling for information about how to display the image now that is stord in the uploads file any ideas thanks again Don't know if your still looking for help but the best way to do it is to store the link to the image rather than the image itslef (it looks like you're doing that now). To retrieve the image, for a list, for example something like the following should help. $query = "SELECT * FROM mytable"; $result = mysql_query($query); $numResults = mysql_num_rows($result); for($i=0;$i<$numResults; $i++){ $row = mysql_fetch_object($results); echo '<h1>'.$row->title.'</h1>'; echo '<img src="'.$row->image_name.'" alt="'.$row->image_title.'" />'; echo '<p>'.$row->description.'</p>'; } Hope this helps!

Hope this helps: http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox/ All you do is add the .js file to your page, and add a line to each link. The site explains how simple it is. No configuration or installation to be bothered with! Good luck!
