Wonders!!! .::: American Wonders Happening In A Bid To Nail Down A Small Project :::. Learn to safeguard your portfolio and show only to "trusted to be" potential clients. But this is real sad anyway

One thing should be certain in your mind. This one thing is your concept about the website. Once you have really figured out what you want your design to look like and have gathered all resources then you can get started. As per free hosting, try www.awardspace.com

Is there really a thing as home touch and foreign touch? For me i believe all websites are the same depending on professionalism.

Please can you say more about this home and foreign touch so we can learn.

If you are serious about it, check my profile and send me a mail. I can give you more information about it.

Even as you do this nomination, no vulgar words are allowed please. Just nominate without insulting others.

Just these?

He needn't do copy and paste all the time. Just some few classes can do that. Once there is any post on nairalist, it will automatically appear on his as well. Since there is nothing dealing with login on the nairalist website for members, he can through his admin panel also delete or decide to leave whatever he wishes.

All these, not just healthy for programmers. Why not we develop more ideas and work them out. If he had done better customizations, I don't think anyone will be talking on this issue. Copyrights is what we should think about how to promote and make functional. Only with due permissions for usage or nothing else, not ban now but the law boomerangs.

Hello NL, can anyone help me with this PHP code.

Pls help me to finetune this PHP code to mine from my Db with particular reference to a form item.
e.g.
select *from DB where StudentID = "$text_StudentID"

What I want here is ("$text_StudentID" is a form item that will use the studentID in the form as a basis of searching the dD among other items.
Pls correct the SQL for me as i know its wrong, not fecthing from the db.

Thanks.

I'm surprised you are working on a database without knowing how to connect and call stuffs from your database. Well, just look at the below code and see if you can understand it.

$sql="SELECT * FROM students WHERE username='$username' && password='$password'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

Formulate what you want from there.

Check MS Office 2003 and get it. Although most installation CDs don't seem to include them again.

Please this well but here is what I understand.

Your present email server slows down when your staffs are online during work hours.

All you require now is a solution on how you can get the emails faster. If this is exactly what you are requesting for then I have the following questions to ask.
--- What is your bandwidth per month?
--- What is your mail quota for each staff and what are their mail drops count per day?
--- Another is, what email client do you use?

I think understanding these can offer solutions to your problem.

I think we had better tried a polling system to know the people's choice. Just a few are hitting strong at Python while others like me are going for the PHP. Let's pick at our choice with the poll above.

Specifying max or min for the rand function should give a max ranged of 32768 which is still not any close to getting to 999,999. Just tried out this morning and saw that the values are at this ranged. I've tried other functions too. One thing I did to get a better value range was by using the rand(), no rand_max or rand_min.

I failed this right?

I hope the change in the topic has helped solve some discussion issues here.

Of course I do. I was only asking the guy to really know what he thinks. He was saying something like nairalist should look and see what [nairalist+s] has done. So I was pissed off and decided to know his stand.

Well, that site [[nairalist+s]] is just a total copy and paste.

I think Seun will be a better pal for you on that.

Are you meaning Nairalist copying Nairalist+s? I want to understand you better. One more thing, who copied who in the design/ development? I just want to get the point well then know what you are meaning by buying idea thing.

father ab:
I am surprised that another website that looks exactly like Nairalist which happens to be called [nairalist+s] is gaining steady prominence. Why on earth should some-one nest his own idea under the shadow of another person's idea? Why can't they form theirs using a totaly different name to create their unique brand?

After browsing through that (counterfeit?) site, I came to terms with the fact that there are some feautures that it possesses that the real one doesnt have.
1. Nairalist seem to carry the philosophy of Nairaland. Its like a mordified and simplified Nairaland. Whereas [nairalist+s] carries the Nigerian spirit. It bears our National Flag. Can you imagine?

2. Another issue is that the real Niralist covers the states of nigeria while the counterfeit site (Niralists) covers Africa.

These are just 2 of my observations. I am placing them here so that the webmasters (whoever they are) can look into them and try to put them into consideration.

Pls what do you mean by putting them into consideration?

What if after all these long talks, someone has done this job from the silence? It is just too possible. At least one client called me asking for a school management software and was pleading for 10, 000. I didn't bother saying anything than to say thanks for calling and goodbye. But now, someone from here, one of those learning the PHP tutorials from the sticky tutorials thread on this section is doing the work. How did I know? He bold came asking me how to make the database this morning and I just played around to understand it was the same job I rejected that he was doing and for 10, 000.

I agree with you "talknafree" because a student still learning PHP intro is already assuming himself a pro and has taken over a full-blown portal work. Is he a hungry developer? May be YES but in the making as a web developer anyway. But I'm watching to see the completed work. I won't fail to bring it up here for review as soon as I lay my hands at the URL.

We've talked this kind of issue time without number. Let's work to improve our profession and make it our career and not just a play thing.

Does it mean there is just Seun here that loves and uses Python? Are there no more info and contributions coming up from these programming languages?

I've really wondered which is a better option, Python or PHP. Can you guys help me out ascertain the big difference and pros and cons of the two.

I just don't think things are really good in here. Things are just not really healthy here. How will you people just deviate so much from a topic and how will just a simple login script cause all these? There are lots of forums and blogs out there with these scripts laying waste for people to come and use without any bugs even. How do we enjoy these unnecessary fightings over ignorable things? We should understand that we can see many things and decide to say little or nothing. That makes us more mature but it is a good thing if we talk and just not over do it. Little ignorable things shouldn't be big problems to us in here please. I believe the prominients posters in the section now are good coders and should lead by experience. I agree power tussle must surely be upheld at some points but let's not over do things. Off topics is also getting much; let's check on that too.

Cheers to all!

Will there still be another Segsalerty or are all of them reading and taking notes of these codes from the background? Soonest another thread will be set up and it will be captioned "login script help" or "login script needed".

@Segsalerty
Just as nitation has posted stuffs here for you, I bet you should start following you own scripts step by step. Don't want to jump into them all at once. If the login section is solved, then you can work on the input checking script if any and of course, your db config. Ensure you are using the proper commands in all. Gradually these things will get solved.

@poster
Are you meaning you deleted the files which are by default on your hosting server or your own files? Well, whichever you meant, I think the back up thing can still work it out.

Good for you. Enjoy your web but take note of this problem and the solution in case of future references.

Starting point as to your localhost and remote site comparism, run the same piece of code

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

to find out what both sides support and doesn't. After that, you should start discovering what goes and what doesn't.

More info coming up soonest.

I'm always around though in silent mode. I just read and observe and talk just where necessary. It pays for my time and everything. Just keep on with your work.

Cheers!

It's fun to you probably because it's never your image been used here. Why not post your image and ask them to make good use of it in their cartoon works. So it is better when people are fighting each other with their posts right? You prefer it better and fun that way.

Well, to cut the whole thing here short, OKX, post your images for all wishing to do some 2d/3d work to use. I think that settles the whole thing. I still stand on him changing the face of the image used there. Preserve people's personality for them unless when they permit you to use them. You just meant yours could be used so provide them and let them be used. Why didn't he go for gamine's pic? What was he thinking about? He skipped that and went straight to Kemji. Should we call that jealousy? I side no one here but just want the thread cleaned up and free from any anger or fighting.

I still maintain what I've said earlier.

@reactor
I think this whole 2D/3D thing should all be abstract images and not a thing to tarnish people images or personality. How would you feel if your actual pictures are cartooned and posted everywhere on the streets for gesture. I see this whole thing as a not being tolerable in here.

One thing I ask of you and demand of you is for you to edit those 2d/3d images bearing defaced image of an actual personality in the forum. Edit them asap and desist from using images of people in the forum. You can always make new faces of people from your creative library. If you are tired or can't work out a face, yours could serve and not any member in here.

You are warned "reactor" and I'm waiting for your immediate action.

I love the layouting. It is nice. Colooration is okay but the green to me seems so bright. I don't know what others feel about it. I've not taken a proper review though but wanted to let you understand that I wasn't ignoring your post please. Just that I have lots handling on my desk now. As I get into the web further, I still review and get you more info.
