Not the point - that you can't or shouldn't use DW

The point - when all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail.

Ya it is absolutely true and its not like I didnt get the point.
However, Nitation seemed to be trying to get personal when he tried to overstretch the issue by referring to a casual statement I made earlier.

Where are they getting all these information from.

@Biggjoe,
If you have learnt through this system, then I see why it took you six months to fix a line of code.
-----------------------

Now I see where you are taking this whole thing to. But I wont be available there.

I must also say here that Dreamweaver helped me to learn and I am not ashamed of it ok. That hasn't changed anything about the way I work now. Some of the best coders cant even use DW probably because they dont believe in it. Some might have also learnt with it.

When you said: "Bad programming practice me brother", I wondered whether you still remember that you are talking about learning.

Anyone can learn through any given method, thats why we are all different.

@ Poster,

Looking at your codes, I will suggest you learn the basics of Hyper Texture Markup Language before venturing into Server-side scripting language such as - php, Asp, Jsp, etc.

This will do you every good! If not, you will find yourself asking for help with everything you wanna do. Google beginners to HTML and I believe "Sir googs" will not disappoint.

- nitation

if he can use dreamweaver, he has come to a stage where it will be easier for him to learn from codes generated by DW than online tutorials.

Thats the way I see it though.

Is login success.php a valid page name?

Is login fails.php a valid page name?

As for valid, I will say Yes. Yes because the page will be available but the url will be encoded to 'login%20fails.php'
Advisable? My answer is NO.

Here is another (assuming you didn't type it that way on purpose). It is bolded for your convenience:

I noticed two errors from your code:

You declared your username field as your password field on line 15 below, I indicated the error line in red and the alternate code on it below.

<?php require_once('Connections/mysite.php'); ?>
<?php
// *** Validate request to login to this site.
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}

$loginFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_GET['accesscheck'])) {
$_SESSION['PrevUrl'] = $_GET['accesscheck'];
}

if (isset($_POST['usrnametxt'])) {
$loginUsername=$_POST['usrnametxt'];
15. $password=$_POST['usrnametxt']; // use: $password=$_POST['pswdtxt'];
$MM_fldUserAuthorization = "";
$MM_redirectLoginSuccess = "login success.php";
$MM_redirectLoginFailed = "login fails.php";
$MM_redirecttoReferrer = true;
mysql_select_db($database_mysite, $mysite);

$LoginRS__query=sprintf("SELECT Username, Paasword FROM login WHERE Username='%s' AND Paasword='%s'",
get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? $loginUsername : addslashes($loginUsername), get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? $password : addslashes($password));

$LoginRS = mysql_query($LoginRS__query, $mysite) or die(mysql_error());
$loginFoundUser = mysql_num_rows($LoginRS);
if ($loginFoundUser) {
$loginStrGroup = "";

//declare two session variables and assign them
$_SESSION['MM_Username'] = $loginUsername;
$_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'] = $loginStrGroup;

if (isset($_SESSION['PrevUrl']) && true) {
$MM_redirectLoginSuccess = $_SESSION['PrevUrl'];
}
header("Location: " . $MM_redirectLoginSuccess );
}
else {
header("Location: ". $MM_redirectLoginFailed );
}
}

Again, the portion I colored red above is all wrong, you created separate forms for each of your form fields. All your form fields should be inside one form, ok?
use the one below:

<form ACTION="<?php echo $loginFormAction; ?>" id="usrnmeform" name="usrnmeform" method="POST">
      Username
        <input name="usrnametxt" type="text" id="usrnametxt" />
        Password
        <input name="pswdtxt" type="text" id="pswdtxt" />
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
        

        
    </form>

Maybe he can't afford the credits to surf regularly or whatever. We can't really say. Let us give him some time.

Having said that, a wise man once told me many years ago that many people don't need help, because they don't appreciate it.

I cant agree less on that one. People appreciate things better when they pay for it.

Priest on divine mission hijacks Mexican plane

Related Hot Topic: Latin America
Have your say: Latin America
Bible-carrying Jose Mar Flores Pereira was said by Mexican officials to have hijacked the Aeromexico Boeing 737 after it left from the popular tourist resort of Cancun on a flight to Mexico City.

He told authorities he had wanted to protect the country after he "had a revelation that Mexico was facing a great danger, and was threatened by an earthquake," public security official, Genaro Garcia Luna, said.

The alleged hijacker was said to be a former prisoner and drug addict from Bolivia, who has lived in Mexico for 17 years. But it was not immediately clear if he was helped by others as officials said five other people were arrested for security reasons.

Flores Pereira hinted that he was acting with two accomplices, "referring to himself (the Father), the Son and the Holy Spirit," Garcia Luna said.

All the people onboard the flight were safely evacuated at Mexico City, officials said, as security forces swarmed the capital's international airport within minutes of the plane landing.

Initial reports that the hijackers were carrying explosives were denied by Transport Secretary Juan Francisco Molinar Horcasitas who told local television there was no bomb on board.

The priest told reported that his act was linked to Wednesday's date, September 9, 2009 because the numbers 9/9/9 were the opposite of 6/6/6 the numbers associated with the AntiChrist.

Flores Pereira demanded to fly over the airport "seven times" and to speak with President Felipe Calderon, Garcia Luna said, adding the priest had warned he was carrying a explosive device, but in fact he was not.

Calderon canceled his afternoon meetings to head to the sprawling airport, after Aeromexico Flight 576 carrying 104 people was hijacked after leaving the eastern Mexican resort popular with American tourists.

"We only learned about it when we landed and we informed by the crew over the radio that we had been hijacked," said passenger Rodrigo Padilla. "Everything was very quiet, there were no guns, no shots were fired."

In less than an hour, the drama had been brought to an end.

"We intervened in this crisis and all the passengers were taken to safety. The security forces are now carrying out the necessary investigations," Horcasitas said.

None of the hijackers had been able to enter the plane's cockpit during the flight, neither "were they able to compromise the aircraft's safety," he added.

The US State Department said it was checking to see if any Americans were on board the hijacked flight and was seeking to obtain the manifest.

Television images showed chaotic scenes as the passengers, most dressed in shorts and T-shirts, descended from the plane, some carrying young children and clutching bags.

They were briefly made to sit on the tarmac by security forces, before being led away. The last to leave the plane was the captain, who had negotiated the release of the passengers with a woman air controller.

Bomb experts then moved in and were seen on the television carefully carrying out checks on the plane.

It was the first time the airline had suffered a hijacking since 1972, when leftist guerrillas seized one of its planes demanding the release of some of their fellow rebels. The release of the passengers was negotiated.

The last hijacking in the region was in April in Jamaica, when an armed man took over a CanJet Boeing 737 due to fly from Montego Bay to Cuba.

All 182 people on board the Canadian airliner were rescued unharmed when Jamaican police stormed the airliner and captured the mentally troubled gunman without firing a shot.

yawa-ti-de:
wow bigjoe. I wonder how long it would have taken if you opened up notepad and came up with the code yourself

I woulda done that but the problem here is that I dont know what his database USERS table and its fields were named.

If I can can say for sure now that his username field in db is named 'username' and password field named 'password', I would simply 'clone' a DW code for a login page for him.

But he is not even coming back. Just like most people here who come looking for help. They always bolt whenever help is about to come.

Webmasters › Re: Dynamic Images In Dreamweaver by biggjoe(m): 6:41pm On Sep 09, 2009

like Yawatide will say, paste your code!

Again another quickie: if you are creating any dynamic stuffs in DW, you must create recordset.

But then paste your codes first.

Webmasters › Re: The Login Page (in Drmwvr) by biggjoe(m): 6:33pm On Sep 09, 2009

like yawa said, paste your code!

But a quick advice i might give you is that authors of DW have somethings predefined.

If you are to create a login system you must name your session 'MM_username' for it to work unless you know how to tweak their codes.

It took me like six months to fathom that. grin

Gaming › Re: Nigerian Government Reacts To Sony's Playstation 3 Ad by biggjoe(m): 3:55pm On Sep 08, 2009

you guys are not getting it.

for me it is not about what they said, it is who that they are that said it.

If it is a simple opinion from a simple individual, it wouldnt have mattered at all but for a big company like sony to directly insult a country, it is so uncool.

Take example from:
Obama's cabinet member resignation yesterday
Obama's pastors comments during his campaign
Dixie chicks comment on George bush

and many other cases,

These things are what any other person can say and no one will even notice but when it is coming from the people it came from at the time they said it, its a whole different ball game.

Afam,

It is now obvious that you took my earlier comments personal since you are now pointing out only your stance on the whole issue. It was never about you my brother. Infact your position on the issue was more balanced than others because you always wondered in your post where quad was to clear his name.
For reasons I cant get now you somehow believe I was attacking you.

I am not. So please quit the name calling. If I had said Afam 'is more at home with quadrillio' then I will understand why you are angry.

Your dislike for use of words like 'think' and 'likely' is not necessary here. EVen though i wonder whether you know that it is those words that lead to ground breaking discoveries especially when issues are being investigated. Again I never said that my comments are factual.

Im not fighting with you.

Webmasters › Re: Customize Sms Site by biggjoe(m): 5:44pm On Sep 01, 2009

Afam:
The content in bold refers, this is a clear cut issue and not a matter of what you think or what is likely.

Stick to what happened please and stop trying to justify anything that you may have stated wrongly.

I don't owe either of the parties, I don't know either neither am I interested in protecting any.

I havent stated anything wrongly because I based my comments on a likely situations. Such situations can be right or wrong.
Unless your are talking of something else.

Webmasters › Re: Customize Sms Site by biggjoe(m): 5:07pm On Sep 01, 2009

Im not trying to start anything at all. I respect you guys.
But tell me, would the posts have been the same if quad is fuming when someone else (perhaps one newcomer to NL) is claiming to have done what he did? I dont think the replies that followed would have been centered on him proving beyond doubts that he did it.
Its likely we will be asking the newcomer to bear the burden of proof instead.

Like I said b4, the heat was turned on her. She probably deserved it after her general comment but much attempt was not made to 'turn on some heat' on quadrillio too.

Like I said earlier, im not trying to start anything or side anyone. Its just that you cant contribute to any issue like this one without touching on the personalities involved.

Webmasters › Re: Customize Sms Site by biggjoe(m): 4:34pm On Sep 01, 2009

It is true that Kinguche did not follow up her claims with enough facts to prove that she owns aratext but simply because we are more at home with quadrillio, many posters turned the heat on her, even though she made some general statement. Nobody will like that.

Now quadrillio has come out to 'clear the air' in all this but not very well to me.

Madam aratext has said that WALE has NO hands at all in aratext when she said:

KINGUCHE19:
OH NOT AT ALL. you r very free to list a site you work on, even if you did not do the entire stuff 100%. , BUT he never worked on aratext.

However WALE is insisting that

quadrillio:
is it a crime to list a site develop while u were working for a firm?

They are both far from resolving this issue. Thats my own take.

I was going to ask the same question too.

If you have gone through codes created by DW, you will see that their codes are written with security in mind.

the only shortcomings is that the dynamisms required on most sites today are not yet available in DW though im yet to use the CS version.

I have been there before.

It is important to know if you have already created your database that has a field for username and password.

If you have done that and can connect to your database from Dreamweaver, then you are almost there.

Dreamweaver will help you do the rest.

So, have you created your DB and can connect to it from dreamweaver?
