Thanks Jim, That would make things easier Dennis

Is there anyway to change the user password of the Mysql user that we had created in Cpanel besides deleting the user and creating another one with a new password? Dennis

Glad that its working properly now. Lolz, its the other way round for me, Mozilla was working fine "real time" but not IE...guess it might be the setting cos my IE was set to check for a new copy of the page automatically.... Dennis

I browsed to your page using both Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1 and MS Explorer and I can see the "update.html" page which opened up as a pop-up window but not the "arndts.html" (can't seem to find them, maybe I didn't look hard enuff) and it seems to be working fine. Could it be the browser cache version that you are viewing, try clearing the cache. I had a problem, with MS Explorer with one of my page earlier too and had to refresh a few times before I could see the changes I had made to my page. Dennis

You're welcome, just give a shout, I'm sure that there are a lot of family members who would try and help in a way or two.... Dennis

Hi, You can try using this extension by Yaromat, where you can check: CHECK FORM MX || "Check Form" offers much more than the native DW behavior: Menus, Lists, Textfields, Radios and Checkboxes can be validated. Menus and Lists can be validated for values or proper selection. Radios and Checkboxes can be validated for selection, state and even cause dependencies on other form objects (e.g. "If checked, then textfield can't be empty"). Input fields can be validated as e-mail strings, various date strings, time formats. A range of value or connected with checked boxes/radiobuttons. Compares two textfields (must have the same value) The killer feature is: You can define custom error messages! Just download the extension, install it using Dreamweaver's extension manager and you can access this behaviour in the Behaviour Panel. Dennis

Hi, Found an error while searching for something in TCH's site, thought that I might point this out and have someone rectify it... The d is missing in password.... Dennis

Try this tutorial. Also you might want to try setting up a test server on yr PC....this package is a useful one where PHP, MySql and Apache are preconfigured and allows you to run it on your window box.....PHPDev. Dennis

What kinda of application would you be writing? Are you going to use a database? Asp is usually associated with Microsoft, eg VB language, asp.net You'll need to know java skills to use jsp. While coldfusion is Macromedia's equilavent of the above two. However, why not use PHP since you are hosting with TCH; and its easy to learn. Furthermore, if you look hard enuff, there are a lot of extensions for PHP in DW where most of the basic things you'll want to do with a web application can be found. Dennis

Lol, well at lest one of M$'s OS features proved its usefulness....... Dennis

Hmmm, changing the file type is dangerous. Did you enabled window restore? If you have maybe you can try restoring it to a previous check point. To change icons for folders, you can just right-click the folder you want to change and choose customize and there is a "change icon" button there. For now I think restoring to a previous good state is the best way to go. Start>All program>Accessories>System tools>System restore Dennis

Hmmm, maybe if you can describe what you were trying to do or if you can recap what actions that you carried out, that'll shed a light on what went wrong. Dennis

You can try going to Control Panel>Folders Option>General> and choose restore defaults. Dennis

Good advice, Dreamcloudwolf Glad to see your problem solved, just give a holler if you run into another;) Dennis

Yup, you have to use the full name of which the first part before the underscore is needed...... mysite_databasename mysite_databaseuser Dennis

Did you create a valid user in PHPadmin for the database and then update the config mt.cfg? Like below. ># The filesystem path to the 'db' directory, where your MT database # files are stored. You will probably need to change this when you # first install MT; instructions for doing so are in the Installation # Instructions, in INSTALLING THE MOVABLE TYPE APPLICATION CODE, Step 8. ObjectDriver DBI::mysql Database your_database DBUser your_database_user Also remeber to update the mt-db-pass.cgi with your database password..... This should see you thru..... Dennis

Just use this url : www.******/sqmail It'll auto redirect you to : http://******/sqmail/src/login.php Dennis

Lolz, now thats what I call dedication to his work, travelling and can't bear to be away from his job!

You can try Command > Apply source formatting If this is not what you are looking for, then do a manual search and replace by going to Windows>Results>Search and click in the small green arrow to bring up the search and replace dialog.... Dennis

I think that using include or require would be the easy way out for changing those pages that needs those variables. You can try using the full path to the variables or try echoing out the relative path using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] Dennis

Is anyone using Image Magick with PHP? I've looked at Image Magick's website and seems like I'll need to install imagick (the native api for PHP) if I were to use it with PHP. Now my question, is it installed by default on TCH's server or do we need to install it/or asked for it via the helpdesk? Actually, its not a must have cos I am using PHP's native GD lib to do some resizing of jpgs but I've noticed that Image Magick did a a better job at this and thought that I'll switch to using this in my scripts if it's not a lot of hassle to install and to learn how to use it..... Dennis

If you are using it purely as a home testing box, you can try PHPDev. Its a complete package where Apache, Mysql, PHP can be installed, "so phpdev is basically a pre configured version of apache/PHP/MySQL to get you started" as quoted on their site. I'm using it on my Windows box (from 98 till XP) and it's easy to install and get it up and running. However be warn that if you intend to show you site to the world (opening it up for access via internet) then you'll need to do some tweaking on the Apache end etc.... Here's the link to the package if you are keen to try it out. PHPDev4 Dennis

Yup, Surefire is right, having a good book by your side when you need it really helps a lot. I've learnt PHP/Mysql by reading up books from the library and then getting the books when I find that it is really useful. That way, we don't have to spend on books that are too expensive/shallow/deep etc. Dennis

Good to see that you have managed to get the restore going. Actually you did not have to delete and create the database, you can just drop the tables and when you run the .sql file you have saved previously, there wouldn't be any more problem for MySql to recreate the back-up database. I have installed Invision a few times from 1.1x till the current 1.2 and I find that its easier to just do a backup, then do a clean install (similiar to the way that you had did but by just dropping the tables in my existing database).
