I was going to say "it looks good to me"

Can not give you details but I am about to embark on something similar. I am going to create a simple html form that will allow a client to insert text and graphics that will be posted to a MySQL database. Then in turn, create dynamic pages from the database. Will use PHP/Acrobat (needs pdf format)/MySQL. That is the logic, as for the code.... will be working on it sometime in the near future. There are many good people hear that will offer more specific assistance and other opinions. Good luck.

I should have added from the top that any time you remove a page from you site (and it is indexed) you should put a redirect in your .htaccess file. If you see in your logs that a particular link(s) causing a continuous problem, you could employ a redirect for that as well. Further reading on proper redirecting.

Good point Tracy... If you can, do a 'html' search throughout your whole site for the suspected file names. A 'text' search can miss the vestigial JavaScript code that Tracy is referring to in the above reply.

I stand corrected

You bet

Multiple reasons... First, they are written to come back and respider. The duration depends on the page (several specific characteristics contribute to this). If the page shows multiple 404 errors, it will be flagged and removed from the index during the next index update. Until the next update, you could still see visits. In addition, it could occur if another page (maybe outside of your site) references the page or graphic. A spider will follow links from other pages, the so-called dead links. Actually a page can be 'penalized' if it contains too many dead links (makes sense to me, would not be a great reference). This help?

Now that is sort of funny... the same question back to back. You may want to read the thread just below yours (Domain Reg Question).

Mitch... see post in Staff Chat.

Am I a pain or what? Could do this all myself but... too many cooks in the kitchen. Alt text should read: 'Web Hosting Family Forum' Thanks.

Ok, the alt tag is working and the backslash is still there????

Mitch: <img src='style_images/1/logo4.gif' alt='Total Choice Web Hosting Family Forums' border="0" /> See the extra backslash... I think that is preventing the alt tag.

From the pinned message ''How to add your site" I would rather use your words then mine

Two minutes.... not bad! Thumbs Up

Mitch: Please change the http://www.totalchoicehosting.com link (under the banner) to a text link entitled 'Web Hosting Home'. Thanks.

dsdemmin never get like Mad!!! ... really never. Many of times I have pulled my hair out over something 'simple' though (as my 'thinning' locks reveal).

Yes, most definitely. I was trying to infer that by using the phrase 'begin a migration'... a slow, sequential serious of steps to a new place... then to return again (sort of like the geese).

Your welcome... we are here to help.

I did not say that.... I am a real structure/organization type of guy. I create many directories. In addressing your statement: The answer to this question: Would be yes.

Downloaded but did not unzip... too tired need sleep. Will let you know (again.... thank you).

If you put your images in the same directory (folder) as your file, you do not need any path. I share Jack's confusion.... never seen the syntax you used. Should be this: <img src="image/picture.jpg"> meaning the images are located in a folder entitled 'image' <img src="picture.jpg"> meaning the image is located in the folder that the file calling the image is located. In other words, if you load everything in your root (public_html) you will not need to define a path. Hope this helps.

Excellent thread! Maybe the best I have read here (that is why I had to post, did not want to be excluded). Funny, I have never considered changing... to many limitations and who wants to start way down there on a new learning curve. I am surprised how many here are steeped in Linux. In addition, when I look at the individuals who have contributed to this thread (having followed posts in other threads you gain a certain respect for certain individuals) I am even more interested in the topic. Right now, my platter is a bit full but when things cool down, I think I will begin a migration. Again.... thank you to all!

Looking forward to reviewing the script Jack... this is not taking any time away from mod_rewrite is it? I hope all realize the time and value of this task... it will be a nice asset for the 'family'.

Thank you.
