banom:
That is a good way of looking at it,

But lets look at the following incident,

1, If Soludo had Joined AC instead of PDP, do you think AC would have chosen him as their flag bearer over Ngige ? If you think so, why ?

2, If Soludo had joined APGA instead of PDP, do you think APGA would have chosen him as their flag bearer over Obi ? If you think so, why ?

If you answer NO to the questions above ,equally give your reasons for answering no,

3, Finally, do you think the up coming guba election is going to be completely free and fair ?

Is only when you come up with the correct answers to those three questions that you can be able to know the two persons that the contest will settle on and the eventual winer between the two.

Lets discuss.

I dont know why you asked those questions but I have answers to them.
1. If Soludo had as much as tried to join AC, Ngige will start frustrating his ambition even before he declared. Remember we are talking about onwa here.
My point, another name for AC in anambra is Ngige so, AC wouldnt have chosen Soludo over Ngige.

2. If Soludo have joined APGA, that is a whole different ball game. It would have gone any way. Peter Obi's strenght in APGA lies in Victor Umeh.
When I say APGA I mean Victor Umeh's APGA. WHether that APGA is the authentic APGA is for the courts to decide not me.
View it like this, If Soludo have gone for APGA (Umeh's APGA), Peter Obi would have had an upper hand. However, if he had gone for Chekwas' APGA, Chekwas will give his whole world to take him.

3. When you say 'completely' free and fair, I wonder if there is anywhere in the world where such thing exists; not even in Switzerland.
If you have asked whether the elections will be fairly free and fair, my answer would have been that it is possible. BUT, free and fair polling does not necessarily mean accurate result.

In 2003, the flawed election that brought Ngige to power was fairly free and fair. There wasnt reports of widespread balloting violence and probably ballot box hijacking. The election was decided inside the INEC office and not at the polling stations.
So, if you ask me whether there will be peaceful voting, I will say, most likely. But if you ask me whether the results will be accurate, I will say ask Iwu and the resident commissioner.

ok, my bad.

virtualn:
Thank you,
I have resolved it. I was used to using "localhost" as my host but the server am working on required me to specify an Ip address for mysql server. Thanks alot.

Good one virtualn, this has not happened here in a long time.
I mean a poster coming back to acknowledge that his/her problem has been solved.

How about the last error? (
I mean this one:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/public_html/web/lib/db_var.php:6) in /home/ekohall/public_html/web/usdv.php on line 3

If its free and fair, he (NGIGE) will most likely win but with soludo in place, it is just a probability.

Why i think that Ngige has a better chance is that most elderly and illiterates in the village do not know much about soludo.

But then again there is still Peter Obi - anything can still happen oo. Unless you believe that propanganda doesnt work.

Onlytruth:
I laugh in Igbo!

Actually I'm only elaborating on something I've already said before on this thread. If you check page 4 of this thread you'll see my points there.

ok.
So na me de do the expo sef.

or perhaps we are just saying the simple and plain truth which will only make sense if you know what really is happening in anambra.

I just saw the master plan stuff and Peter Obi's propaganda and misplaced priority trademark is written all over it.

I love that guy, he is good with the media. infact he is very y2k compliant. Thats why he will win the election if it is only anambrarians in diaspora that will vote.

But unfortunately so, bulk of the votes will come from home where we all are, living his 'achievements' rather than hearing it.

We need a good governor first then master plan will follow.

Master plain is not the biggest problem in Anambra, infact it is the least of them.

Onlytruth:
I would add that Soludo might be able to match Ngige. Problem is, we don't know that! All we have to do is to pray that Soludo (if he is rigged in) can borrow a leaf or two from Ngige (the Onwa of Anambra State). If the election is free and fair, Ngige wins.

You sound like me there.
Are you sure you are not doing  'expo' on my previous post.   

asha 80:
If i may ask why do you believe so much in ngige?^^^

Not just me ooo. Majority of Anambrarians.

Reasons:
1. His current campaign slogan reads 'Tested and Trusted'. And I agree with them.

2. P-Boy is tested but not trusted.

3. I am yet to see anyone better than him.

Did I answer your question?

asha 80:
That one na master plan  .However seriously Onitsha,nnewi and awka need master plan.

Yes I agree with you and thats why we want visionary leaders. Do you know that Ngige conceived such a plan? Thats when he started relocating  street trading to the suburbs. That was when building materials moved out of Ozomagala street and Electronics almost moved out completely from Iweka. Street Trading was almost being stopped before the tribunal struck.

However, I am not sure that there is a town in naija with a COMPLETE master plan apart from Abuja. When I say complete I mean every part of the town and not the GRA-like sections of the town.

Hey, asha80, lets stick to the topic, i nugo?

asha 80:
If i may ask why is that no city or town in anambra has a master plan?

Na waa for you oo.

Onitsha has a master plan - commercialize every street.

Is that kind of plan not master enough?

Moves:
Be real, there is no difference between any of Nigerian mainstream political parties, either in terms of governance, internal democracy, embezzlement, thuggery etc,

They are all the same my brother. AC or APGA today is likely to deflect defect  to PDP.

babalawo:
All i said what to analyse solodu compromising stance.for God sake if you were a recuiter and you were to recuit into a sensitive position STRICTlY based on Non-Compromise which will you choose based on their action  so far at CBN ,Soludo or Sanusi?

Unfortunately, in elections candidates are not recruited, they are voted for!

babalawo:
@bigjoe
from your reply,It seems anambra people will be happy to see a re-run of events that happened btw 2003 till date was ngige prepared to be the 'messiah' or was it that when the  support from above failed he had choice but to seek grassroot support?

I think Ngige's messiahship  was bore out of a desperate need to find a constituency after being a fallen angel from his folks.

If anambra people are not tired of these events and feel thats the best route to get there SO BI IT.

I love your choice of words though!!!

Fortunately or unfortunately, the re-run of 2003 events cannot happen again because circumstances are no longer the same.

1. with the emergence of Soludo, there is no longer only one popular candidate (Obi was one popular candidate in 2000).
2. Peter Obi's stunts in the courts have made rigging much harder in Anambra.

If the 2010 elections will be free and fair, no one in anambra today can predict who the winner will be if it will be between Soludo and Ngige. Remove Soludo and anybody will vote for Ngige (tested and trusted)

Now how could we tell if it was condition that made Ngige perform and not his wishes. Tell me, how we can when never knew what moved him to ask Ubas to bring him forth.

A GOVERNOR IS AS GOOD AS THE PROCESS THAT MADE HIM,  PERIOD.

If I am not from anambra, I will be tempted to agree with you on the above. But what we saw in anambra has proved that such scenario is not necesarily true.

The process that made NGIGE is one of the faultiest in the history of guber elections in anambra if not Nigeria.
1. He did not even campaign,
2.  people hated his beard ,
3. he is very very short ,
3. and worst of it all, he dined with the Ubas.
what an ugly combination!

If records were kept well then, I m sure Peter Obi must have gotten up to 80% of all votes cast in 2003 but yet the Ubas imposed NGIGE on us. But what happened in the end?
He turned out to be the 'messiah' despite the process that made him.

As for Okija shrine, that is pure nonsense because even though Ngige went there, he damned the consequences and nothing happened to him till date.

yawa-ti-de:
biggjoe: you'd be surprised

In the US, the average response rate for a telemarketer is 2%. This number might sound small but imagine if the telemarketer sent the same advert to 1 million people. That 2% no longer looks that small.

Same reason why they get highest number of yahoo yahoo victims

babalawo:
yes its soludo's right just  like you have the right to be a fool!!! Its only a fool that will exercise all rights without thinking.

The earlier we know the sytemic cancer in a system the better for us in this country. What's your defination of a good governor

As long as its PDP,Soludo will be business as usual,its share the money so whats good about that. Do u think fashola will be able to deliver as much as Hes doing if he was in PDP?? never!!!!call a spade a spade PDP is all about settlement and corruption just like other parties but in a Hellish bigger manner!!!

Its only a person that was not aware of what happened in Anambra  between 2003 - 2006 that will make that assertion.

Yes you are not alone there, most of us hate PDP but believe it or not the person in power can make a difference.

Between the period I mentioned above, NGIGE was in power infact he was rigged into power in a most shameful and callous way by the vicious Uba brothers but it didnt change what THE MAN IN POWER really wants to do. These  period remained the best times ever for any Anambrarian. We saw development and visional government like never before. All these he was doing against his masters wishes.

So please, dont tell me that if it is PDP then nothing will happen. It all depends on WHO is there and not which PARTY is there.

Ok, tell me now, the man Anambra people voted is now in power, WHAT has he been able to achieve if not building a monumental and most effective political propaganda machine ever seen  east of the niger.

I still dont understand why people think it is unethical or stooping low for Soludo to contest for governor. WHY?

It is his right!

Infact it is good news for us in Anambra because since he is coming from PDP, we are now sure that any way the elections goes, we will get a good governor.

My Point, if PDP rigs the election, we will get SOLUDO and if they cant rig it (if it is free and fair), we will get NGIGE. The two is the best any state can ever wish for. To me it is good news.

Hurray!

afamobih:
It is very true afam and you can check out the link in my signature to see all the details.
I took time to explain all you will be expecting in the report.

How can it be true when you are asking people to pay you in order to get freely what is not free.
1. it is no longer free since you charge to do it.
2. whatever you are doing is not legal since those ebooks were put up for sale not free download.

Even if it is true and you have your way of getting the download links of ebooks, anyone who patronizes you is accessory to whatever you are doing. Thats how I see it any way.

I often wonder if people actually pay into these bank accounts these online business guys give out.

nitation:
Where have you been? that it took you six months to fix a line of code in dream-weaver and you dont expect anyone to comment? common contribute to the topic and stop filling the database with crap

- nitation

If I have contributed how will you know when you are busy throwing insults at other people. 

kolitos007:
hehe, Mate, we already know what he his like lol, without knowing who is talking to, he just always assumes, I just listen to the guy he his the master hehe

I ve been there before.

*dhtml:
Lemme add quickly here that if you manage your cookies in dbase, then it becomes easier to track people who are online, guest and registered members. . .

Just like sessions too, if you are able to capture the time each session begins.

The analogy to me doesnt apply in the context of the topic at all.

Will your knife analogy also apply to a session in one site on your web server affecting another sites session in the same shared server?

Is it not the job of the server owner to make sure that such things dont interfer.

A webhost cannot be like a landlord because landlords allow their tenants to come out and enter their neighbour's rooms but in a webserver, you are not supposed to allow a sites script to work in another.

Afam:
Just before we conclude that the problem may be from the web hosting company I hope we understand that the problem can also come from applications we write ourselves or bugs from popular open source content management systems as information concerning such software applications are usually in the public domain so any body can take advantage of any security holes in an application to hijack a website.

I dont know much about hacking but it makes more sense to me that the problem is likely coming from the host rather than hosted scripts since they (the hackers) were able to list all the other hosted sites on the webserver.

Besides, if such a hole can come from a hosted script, any serious webhost should know how to prevent such occurence.

I saw something like a bank's website there?!!

Microfinance maybe, but bank is bank, no be so?

*dhtml:
has nothing to do with my framework really. . .they key is serializing data in php http://www.php.net/serialize
You can just serialize the entire post array into a single variable. . . .in short, the submission script will be something like this:

submit.phpThat is a sample submission script copied directly from a past project, just remove the curdate and time to get the direct solution to the quiz.

Serializing is the means by which sessions are stored whether in files or database. No matter the number of session data you store, they will
be stored using serialize and decoded during serialization. Serialization is a very old programming technique you find in all self-respecting programming languages from c++,java. . . .

Now at least we know what you want us to do.
The way I would have done it is by concatenating all the POST variables into a single variable. That was why I asked do u want the fields separated by anything (comma or space.)
Before you said it, I didnt even know about  serialization.

Below is how I intended to do it.

To insert username, password and firstname into table - 'dtable' with field 'formData'

<?php
// I'll declare all the variables first (not 4getting to escape all escapables ).
$user = $_POST['username'];
$pass= $_POST['password'];
$fname = $_POST['firstname'];

// then combine them all. Of course, anything (space or comma) can be in between if required.
$var =$user.$pass.$fname;

// then I will insert $var into  dtable
mysql_query("INSERT INTO dtable (formData) VALUES('$var')" or die(mysql_error());
?>

bilymuse:
yes, kanye west is a jackass

Gbam!!

This question has been open since yesterday and yet no one seems to be willing to respond.

Reasons for that could be that:

1. people are afraid of being termed a 'beginner' if they answer it.
2.the question might not be completely clear
3.people dont just know the answer 

In my own case, I will attempt to answer it, beginner or no beginner BUT the question is not completely clear to me .

@dhtml,
1. are you asking us to write a script that submits all the form fields into one DB field?
2. if so, do you expect the data submitted to be separated by anything (space or comma)?

During what sounds like informal banter before the interview begins, Obama is asked whether his daughters were annoyed by West's hijacking of Swift's acceptance statement, according to an audio copy that was posted on TMZ.com.
"I thought that was really inappropriate," Obama says. "What are you butting in (for)? , The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She's getting her award. What's he doing up there?"
A questioner chimes in, "Why would he do it?"
[b]"He's a jackass," [/b]Obama replies, which is met with laughter from several people.
The president seems to quickly realize he may have gone too far, and jovially appeals to those assembled that the remark be kept private. "Come on guys," he says. "Cut the president some slack. I've got a lot of other stuff on my plate."

what i am saying is that it is very hard to believe that 92% of Nigerians dont earn that much.

Afam:
@biggjoe and nitation,

Abeg, make everybody hide hin sword for now make we make up. Minor issues if not resolved properly may create bigger problems and it may not be worth it.

Enjoy!

That was why I said that I know where it is going and that I wont be available there.

zenus:
i love DW especially from the code download

whatever that means

Kobojunkie:
You are 100% that the beggars get at least  Naira 2114 PER beggar each week? You are saying the average Nigerian has at least Naira 2114 to eat week each week? That is approximately Naira 109,928 per person per year.

First, if i have to agree with them, I will first have to agree that desitutes constitutes about 92% of Nigerians and then again agree that every one of this poor people dont get the amount you quoted in a week.

I found these two conditions VERY difficult to believe.
