Make sure to have a good weekend yourself!

I woudn't say that you'll need to know PHP right off the bat. Some simple HTML is where you should start, and learn the basics of FTPing files to your hosted account. Then you can move to CSS, Javascript, and on.

I thought PHP couldn't detect what browser was viewing it? I'll go back and check through www.php.net's global variables again, maybe I missed it. Yeah, detection would probably be a better word. I was having a difficult time figuring out what search phrases to suggest. I think I'll go check out that page you suggested as well.

If you kept your website files on your local computer to edit them, then uploaded them to your website, you wouldn't have loss of file updates at least. Just a shameless plug to try to get you all to learn HTML. Seriously though, I must agree with those opiniosn expressed in this thread. While it's awesome that TCH does backups on its own and has a wonderful backup scheme, you should still backup your files and database on your own when you can, because when you really get down to it, it's your own data, and you have a responsibility to see that you don't lose it all. TCH's responsibility is to host the data. And even though TCH has no liability for the loss of the data, TCH still tries to backup your data to prevent disaster. So help out TCH by keeping backups of your own!

After sleeping on it... I still wish it would have ended in another way. Yes, the books were a really good read. To be completely honest, I consider the writer really, really good. I mean, he wrote well enough for me to be mentally pulling for the protagonists to make it through the story and end up together, then his ending devastated me. So the writing was good, as was the storytelling. See, I'm a hopeless romantic, and such love-does-not-prevail endings are the worst possible endings for a person like me to read. I understand that things do not always end happily, and yes, there "is room" in al of literature for bad endings. The ending wasn't really bad. Basically, the two main characters suffer through endless trials and tribulations throughout the trilogy and finally fall in love with each other once their sufferings are over. They get to spend, pretty much, one day in love, and one night in love (Those of you of age know what I mean). The next day they discover that the world cannot continue if they stay together. Either one of them would die in a few years, or the world would slowly choke off and die itself (It's a fantasy trilogy). And that ending just pains me. He wrote this entire trilogy with the notion of good overcoming evil (In a sense). It was littered with religious meanings, and in the end, the "good" side wins. But that's not the meaning I get from these two being forced to live without each other for the rest of their lives. That's not a triumph. That's a tragedy in victory... Just imagine being able to spend about 24 hours with the one you love, then having to live out the rest of your life knowing that the two of you love each other as much as humanly possible, that each of you is still living, and yet you cannot have contact with each other until you die (In the books, there is a world of the dead, and they said that whoever died first would wait there until the other died). This hits me hard simply because it makes me think of how I would feel if that happened to my fiancee and I. I don't even want to imagine it! Geh.

Well, it was a good read, but the ending left me feeling empty. Gehhh... [runs off to bed to sleep this icky feeling off]

So blue, what did you decide to do?

There's a javascript to do it, but I'm none too sure of what it is... Try searching on Google for something like "javascript browser check", or "javascript browser variables."

Well, there it is. Heh. Wish I'd have seen that before myself. I haven't browsed much through those endless files, maybe someday I will and actually learn a thing or two...

Perhaps the Flash plugin is in an IE directory and the other 2 browsers cannot find it... Back when I tested out Phoenix, I had to download the plugin, put it in a plugins folder under Phoenix... Then it worked.

All I want to know is why. Why are there bad endings in movies or books... Please, let me know. This totally sucks. I hate bad endings. I am a hopeless romantic, and the majority of bad endings in anything that has a story generally involves two people in love not getting to be with each other or something like that. City of Angels? Bad ending. Matrix Revolutions? Horrid, horrid ending. Now I come to the pinnacle of bad endings. There is a book trilogy called His Dark Materials. You may not find that, so I'll name the books in the trilogy: The Golden Compass The Subtle Knife The Amber Spyglass And the ending totally sucked. Not to give it away or anything, but basically, these two people fall in love with each other, but the only way the world can survive is for them to live apart. I know it sounds strange, but if you read the books you'll discover why. Now that I've ruined the ending... I'm sad. This sucks. Bleh.

I tend to agree, a tutorial like that would be invaluable. We'll get one made when we have the opportunity.

lol... Man, everybody is a speed daemon these days...

I would just like to come in here and repeat what they said. lol :hug:

><? $host = "localhost"; $user = "website_user1"; $pass = "tutti_frutti"; $db = "website_db1"; $Link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass); mysql_select_db($db); mysql_query("update `mt_entry` set `entry_allow_comments`='0' where `entry_created_on` < date_sub(NOW(), interval 7 day)"); mysql_close($Link); ?> Try saving that as like "cronfile.php" then add the following cron job to your crons (This is using the Advanced interface): >0 0 * * * GET http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/cronfile.php Let me know if that works.

Hey Blue... If you want, I can write up a PHP script fr you that should do the same thing.

I think it's great that you inform the users of the backup scheme... Most hosts wouldn't let the users know. Gives a nice sense of security to know what the host is doing. :heart

Scott, His website was listed before but the link to it was removed. I tried his actual site, not ****, and it did work for me.

minute

Both domains worked for me, with and without the www. As said before, domain names can take 72 hours to fully propogate. I wouldn't worry about it very much if you get intermittent results trying to access your website, it probably just means your ISP is still figuring things out.

Worked well for me.

Thanks HG! You rock!
