you can add a target=_blank in your form line maybe after the method attribute to display your results in a new window or tab

@johnnysarz i do believe anyone can acquire something at a price and give it out for free, it is called philantrophy. my alarm is why allow 'all' the runnables. if you let an unknown dog into your living room, u might end up cleaning poo off your rug

final answer could be echo $_POST['receipt_number']; or echo "Your receipt number is ".$_POST['receipt_number']; . alternatively you can use the print in place of the echo function.

ok. the receipt_number in your form becomes $_POST['receipt_number'] and not $receipt_number if you are making reference to it. if you used GET method in your form instead of POST use $_GET['receipt_number'] instead. remember your concatenations (.)

efeboy: Hey boss, how about printing a web page purely with <?php?>. I have tried studying this one but it seems the only way to do this task is by downloading some kind of software or module extension blah ...

could you say more

The distance was even too far to trek not to talk about on an empty stomach. Was around the bank area and walked in to make a N100 withdrawal. I was told minimum balance only permits N90+ and I wrote another slip for N90. THe cashier did not collect it but gave me N100 from his own pocket. All my innards were grateful.

JohnnySarz: @ Seomarts.com no.. I dont you offer dedicated servers..... @ Gmmail. you are free..

Call me an unbeliever but that statement seems to me like it's not totally/actually owned by you. Abi who would open his eyes and let fly jump inside. Even google would not allow such with their father chrismas character.

seems to me like those wonder bank system of using agents. as no bank would give you that kind of integration, use agent code as depositor name and company admin checks online banking account hourly and credits agent's profile. work well on security

00henry: please I need a php script and web design software from a renowned designer.plsssss.you can email it to me@legacykin@gmail.com.thank you very much.

Sure enough if you can afford extra power costs but also you know paypal has no nigeria tolerance so avoid accessing your account when here. Super Network access is still a dream. Wishing you all the best

Advise, forget paypal. try other methods or use your bank master or visa card. One day just when you have money in your papal account you just feel their hammer and wipe your money is gone

GraphicsPlus: In addition, if you want exactly the same functionality of the website, like the way it loads and stuff like that, then be rest assured that the website was written entirely on Backbone.js with Python/Django and MysQl.

I keep on getting scared with some of these names.

'echo' does what it looks like i.e reveberates what you ask it to to the web browser. Print likewise. I guess I am quite used to the echo construct. In the meantime download the php documentation from http://php.net/download-docs.php (preferably the tar.gz file which you can extract with winrar) as it contains the list of functions you will be using. You can start learning from the index.html page or jump to the indexes.html for the list of php functions and their uses.

P.S Hope you are working on a project that will redefine the webspace we know of. Cheers

CODE-EATER:
Impressive... hope I will c activity like this in my coming programmers forum...

Still setting it up sha

Wishing you the best.

Check my profile, cheers

*dhtml I believe I sent you an offline yesterday.

Your Goal

Why you want to do what you want to do

Ask yourself and give an honest reason for which you have decided to ply this road.

Is it to

- Impress that girl like Sean Parker of Napster
- Make a point like Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook
- Make impact like Teemy of hmm

Whatever it might be just let it carry enough zeal to push you on because truth be told unless you have enough passion, the hurdles might weigh you down. Remember you are working with limited resources.

So, what do you really want to do?

Noble, I like that
Selfish, still something
Other, you know why. Just let there be a purpose for your doing this

What you want to do

The why would let you analyse if it is indeed worth pursuing. Next is in choosing an original dream

I have a problem, my neighbour has the same problem, my neighbour's neighbour also. Can you solve three people's problem at a go? E.g The inventor of the rubber stamp

I forsee people will need this in the future. I will create a solution that would create more problems and hence more solutions and businesses for more people. E.g Bill gates of microsoft - We have a lot of people employed and in business because of his creativity. Also the GSM market of Nigeria.

Make it reasonable, profitable and think of longleivity of your dream now and in the future. Will it create more avenues or die out or metamorphosize as time goes?

Think, think, think. Be creative. Let your thoughts run wild. Be exposed, watch films cartoons and animes. Play brain tasking games. Talk to knowledgable people as well as those without much in their heads as they drop raw materials without themselves knowing it.

There is one question remaining before you and it requires just one answer

What do you want to do?


Next: Marketing Model - Letting people know you do the things you do

To be continued ...

Its about include and require... I know what it does but i have not yet used it.

Say for instance you have file1.php and file2.php and there are common functions that are used in both files, you could group those functions in an include file say

include.php/inc/cache (there might be other extensions)

So instead of having to rewrite those general functions in all your files, you could have them in an include file which you can call at the point of need.

Calling out the file

include 'include.php';
require 'include.php';

(N.B You can use sinngle or double quotes)

Take an example, your database connection logins.

let's create database.inc (just save as so in your textpad/IDE)

<?php

function connection(){
//database connection and selection
define ('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define ('DB_USER', 'Djangocode');
define ('DB_PASS', 'password');
define ('DB_NAME', 'mydatabase');

$ilink = mysql_pconnect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die("Connection Unsuccessful!" );
$getDB = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $ilink) or die("database Not Detected!" );
}
?>

At the point of connection to your database before making mysql queries you can

include 'database.inc';
connection();

or

require 'database.inc';
connection();

and presto you can begin your 'select' statements.

Consider a case where you have completed your project on your local pc using wamp and while trying to install your sql script on your web server online you create a

database and username host_Djangocode and host_mydatabase respectively instead of your local Djangocode and mydatabase. If you did not have an include file you would

have to make changes to ALL your website scripts that make use of database connections. Think of it as an external css file that makes your work neater for one place

changes.

1) Which one is more useful(any security threats)....??

I heard one is a bit faster than the other, can't remember which one but the difference is negligible I believe but for security I dont know the difference.

One tip on security on the net I can say is there is no security anywhere as long as someone really wants to deal with you so just do your beat and hope for the best.

Work on sql injections, bots and the rest. It also would not be bad to at the end of your scripts

//I hail thee oh hacker, at thy exit do leave these pieces as thou has met them. Respects

Don't be surprised one day to see a new line saying

//Fadeyi Waz Hia, In and Out, Cheers Amigo

Really just pray you are not targeted. Yes I said pray.

2) If i download a free web template and edit the css and html to my taste, i may want to make my website dynamic by turning the whole site into php.. What are

the exact steps i need to take to achieve this?? I saw the importance of using this code since i read that it reduces the way one edits his website due to the

functions being called.. Please explain..

Grab everything into your text editor/IDE and simply save as a .php file.
E.g

<html>

alltheblahblahblahblah

<?php
phpcodeImightuse();
?>

moreblahblahblah

</html>

Save as newphpfile.php

Cheers

I could host you.

Sure thing

the unfeeling webmasters are usuallly at fault in this kind of issue, another being govt. not fulgilling contract terms of yearly renewals maybe because the site is not bringing in money.
