Hi Sheridan, I'm glad you like it here, I've certainly been impressed all the time I've been with them I'm sorry to hear you found that. How can it be improved? I find that this forum is always my first port of call for support. The family usually answer quickly and with very helpful answers. I use the Help desk only after I have asked here. In reality I think I've only entered about 3 tickets because the issue has always been resolved quickly from here. I assume these were help desk tickets. The questions you posted here were all answered I think - please tell me if not. Thumbs Up Well done Mitch Thumbs Up Bill is totally dedicated to TCH, the rumour is he never sleeps and I'm sure he's heard most of the questions from new clients many times, so I can understand a certain amount of frustration coming across occasionally. On the other hand, I know that he is the most helpful and supportive person when there is a really tricky problem - even if it is in the moddle of the night. Not a problem, please post as many questions, as you like here. The family will help out with them all. We all know that we were new here once. Have a look at my early questions for example. I asked some fairly basic questions that folk helped me with. It is a big jump, and that control panel seems to look like the control panel for a jumbo jet at first, it has everything. Ask questions though, and learn bit by bit, you won't do to much damage If my understanding is correct here, you need to put a copy of the new site here (I assume you have already done that) then change the Name Servers to TCH. Whilst the new data propogates round the world, some people will look at your old site, and some people will look at your new site. It takes about 72 hours for this to happen (but can take longer in some cases). I think if you have the name servers pointing to both locations it will only cause problems. I hope that helps Andy

Anytime. I'm not sure how I'm going to get that inkjet printer you have for sale in my office though if it prints on a 5 foot by 100 foot sheets - you are way out of my league, I need a bigger computer to match

Looks fine from here Andy

No, I used to work for them - which says it all really

Kick Me Kick Me Woohoo Kick Me Kick Me Congratulations TCH, although I'm not surprised, TCH is simply the best Rock Sign Andy

Sheridan. Welcome to the family The basics are all done for you You will probably want to modify things at some stage (email adresses for example), but all the basics are there. Upload your pages to the public-html directory, with the page you want folk to start on as index.htm and you should be fine. Andy

I should probably have expanded a little on that answer If you don't want to keep the records, then whenever you run the script for tracking users you can simply delete records older than a given time. If you have a variable L_TIME which you always set to the latest time a user did something, then you can get the time now and check for any records with L_TIME less than time() - 300 (for 5 mins). I used this method, when I was playing with a script to stop people downloading all my site. If you want to keep the log in the database, then you can simply search for L_TIME Andy

I would check the time they have been inactive and log them out (set the record to 0) if they havn't been active in say 5 mins. Andy

I've updated all my site, and tested it so that I'm happy with it. I have done a permanent redirect of my main pages, but didn't want to do this for 300+ pages , hence I've used the following in my .htaccess file. It seems to work fine (if a .php file exists, then permanently redirect to that, if it doesn't stick with the .htm file) Can anyone see any problem with doing it this way (as it saves me typing in 300 lines and I'm bound to make a mistake Thanks Andy

surefire, Thanks, it's about 2 years since I've been over to Florida (thoroughly enjoyed it), but you've just given me another good reason to think about going back I'm starting to get the hang of PHP and it's good practice for me to delve in occasionally I must admit I do it the way you have suggested, set a variable for the page title, and pass that to the header, then use it for meta tabs and the h1 tab - makes search engine optimisation much easier. Andy

Hi, Audio and Video streaming is allowed, but of course it will have a tendency to eat up your bandwidth Have a look at this thread. Some of the other folks around may be better placed to tell you how difficult it is to set up, but as far as I'm aware, fairly straight forward. Andy

T-4-L I think this means that yor SQL database is corrupt and needs to be repaired. You can try a repair from within the control panel, if that fails I would restore your last backup. Andy

Tracy, A question for the SEO guru himself, but I'll add my 2c anyway I have targeted the keywords in each page of my site (so I hope that's a good thing ). I have paid most attention to getting the key words right on my main page, but have optimised all the others for each individual page. If I remember rightly, Google and some of the other search engines don't really use the keyword metatags anyway, so unless each page were very similar, you will need to optimise each page for different keywords in the text of the page. Andy

Hi Sheridan, Can't I twist your arm into typing out the questions? There can't be to many can there, I'm sure you'll get a fast answer to many of them by just asking away. In reply to your direct question, no, as far as I'm aware there is not a telephone number for Pre sales questions. I'm sure someone will say soon enough if I'm wrong and there is. There are lots of answers on the help page http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/help/ or you could have a look at the FAQ's http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/help/faq.htm. If they don't work, then just ask the family here. Thumbs Up Andy

I would have thought it should be ok. Mine was in subdirectory techniques which was in directory test within public-html. http://www.mycoted.com/test/techniques/phptest.php Yours is nested 3 deep, where mine is only nested 2, but I don't see why it shouldn't work. Andy

I've just tried with nested included header files, and I still find that php_self works giving the right file name. Are you happy to post the code here (if not to long), or PM me and I will have a quick look at it. Andy. PS. The code I have just used to test this is; main file header file the nested include file Please excuse all the "." in my code - it didn't want to display all the code... Andy

Works perfectly for me from within the header file. Andy
