I use PEAR's Database packages: http://pear.php.net/packages.php?catpid=7&...atname=Database

I usually do it with The Gimp (consider it Linux's Photoshop) using the gradient fill tool. Set the tool to not repeat the gradient fill and drag the cursor from one of the borders towards the center, just to the point where you want the gradient to end. I just repeat these steps for each border and it works perfectly.

Version 3 was very very bad I used to have Winamp 2 playing all the time and I noticed absolutely nothing. Never quite understood why some people complain it's a resource hog Anyway, Nullsoft knew that 3 was way below the expectations and so, they decided to join the great features of WA2 and WA3 and so, 2 + 3 = 5 I haven't tried it so I can't tell from experience but everyone says it's great. I think I'll stick with XMMS, anyway

SSH access is needed? Oh darn Well, maybe Bill will indulge us all (and TCH itself) with a little christmas present...

I was looking at the TMDA and it's SQMail plugin and it looks very interesting! I would certainly like to see this installed by default on TCH servers. Still, you can also install it yourself directly on your account, if you wish. But I would still prefer to have it installed by default

Yes, someone could indeed spoof a cookie. That's why you shouldn't store nothing more than the session id You ask the user for the username and password once. If she gets it right, you'll start a session (doesn't matter how the session will be tracked). What those scripts probably do is store some aditional information on the user's browser to add an extra security check. For example, it could store a cookie with the date and time the user logged in and store a session variable (on the server) with the same values and then, *after* checking the session stuff, it would check those values to see if they match. There are many many ways to do this. This was just a simple example that I thought of right now

Thomas, I agree with Ty. That script is really bad. I looked at the code and it's a mess! I'd try to find a better one.

Hi Lance. The answer to your first question is: yes, all the sites will share the same IP address. The second one I don't know for sure but I think you'd be charged separately. But don't take my word for it.

Oh! Sorry, I was very sleepy when I red this the first time and I didn't fully understand what you wanted to do. OK, in that case, you're probably interested in fgets(). It reads bytes from a file. It ends reading when the specified number of bytes as been read or when a newline is found. Just call it two times and you'll have two lines from your sigs.txt file (I'm in a bit of a hurry, now but I think you can manage with this. If you still need help let me know. I'll drop by again in a couple of hours.)

Thomas, without seing the source code I can't tell. But I'm pretty sure you can change it's source code to make it as wide as you want it. If you can post a link to a place where I can see the source code, I'll try to help you.

Humm... sorry Ty, I didn't know there was an issue with this. Good job, Rick Thumbs Up

In case someone doesn't understand what I meant in my previous post, Gecko (Mozilla, FireBird, Netscape, etc. HTML rendering engine) has a special CSS property that allows border corners to be round. There. Now go read that webpage

Ty, that's odd but it's probably a limitation of the FTP client you're using Have you tried using another FTP client?

Rob, file() reads the file you specify and returns an array from which each element corresponds to a line in the file, with the newline still attached.

OK, I knew there was a way to do that but since I couldn't find it anywhere, I decided it was better not to mention it in case I was wrong. But I just noticed the "interesting link" I pointed has a reference to Gecko's rounded corner borders. I *really* should start reading the stuff I suggest...

There's no way to do that using plain HTML/CSS. You have to use images for the round corners. The traditional Google search yielded some interesting results Edit: note the changed "interesting results" link. I pasted the wrong URL when I wrote it the first time.

Interesting! Looks like I had the wrong idea! Thanks for clearing it up (and for remindind me that I should read the stuff in the URLs I suggest instead of just trusting my memory, which sometimes may not be as trustworthy as I think ) As for the layout you're trying to achieve, try these links: thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/boxes.html bluerobot.com/web/layouts/ glish.com/css/ glassdog.com (thanks for this one, Don! Pretty good one, too! ) Or even this google search: http://www.google.com/search?q=css+layouts

Yep, no problems here, I have nice little dragon, too

Well, it certainly is strange that all browsers have the exact same bug but I'm almost absolutely sure it is indeed a bug. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense the "float: left" work and "float: right" not work. Besides, I can almost swear that I have read something about that not too long ago but I can't find it Here's a website that does talk about several bugs in various browsers' CSS implementations. http://positioniseverything.net/ Not the one I was looking for but may have interesting stuff

Here's a few other links you might also want to check: www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/boxes.html www.bluerobot.com/web/layouts/ glish.com/css/ Or even this google search: http://www.google.com/search?q=css+layouts

Well, I don't know which programming language you prefer but hotscripts.com usually has some pretty neat PHP stuff. Try there. Other than that, I can only recommend a Google search for "PHP calendar" or "PERL calendar"

Pretty cool, Rick! Well done!

Hi Rick. You can't do those modifications yourself - as you said, this is shared hosting, which means that every account on each server shares that server's configuration and so it would not be wise to let one client mess with the whole server configuration because it could cause problems to other clients. Still, you can ask if the admins can install this for you. For that end, you should open a help desk ticket, which is the faster way to get the process going.

Oh! OK, I got it! Took me some time looking at the screen but now I understood: you want the box height to grow, is that it? I thought you wanted the box width to grow and I'm really not sure if that's possible at all. If I'm not mistaken, that's a bug present in most (all) browsers I tried it in Mozilla Firebird 0.7, Opera 7 and Konqueror 3.1 and all of them displayed the page incorrectly. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is what's going on and I also think I've read about this exact problem in a website just a few days ago but I can't find it again
