emandman: How do i make a page automatically refresh afta posting a comment.
I want to use dis to avoid multiple commenting,at present my site is posting previous comment repeatedly each time i refresh page.thanks people.
Note: php help pls,i dnt knw javascript/jquery.

Solution

1. force page cache using meta tags headers
2. after the form has been filled and submitted successful. store the success message in a Session, then redirect the page back to the same url. after redirecting echo the session for the stored success message.


If you are using a php framework, this is easy, just use the flash function that comes with frameworks. however i believe this should never happen when using a framework.

Note!!
I will recommend no 2 to no1.

Ben1975: Hi

I have been having problems downloading and configuring apache servers on my system so that I can use PHP 5.No matter what I do it just wont even start, first I get a message say in the downloading process a file is missing so the server will not start try downloading again...I do, same problem.[color=#006600]

I have tried XAMPP, EasyPHP etc non of them seem to work

Any suggestions?[/color]

Do not be discouraged, i believed maybe your system has been formatted at one point in time.

Do this go and download WAMP from official wamp servers website. After installing wamp if you see any error of something.dll[/b]file missing. All you have to do is go back to the wamp site click the download button for wamp then when that modal or pop up comes up read below and you will see a message asking you to download [b]VCREDICT...... once you download it thats all

Torackzy: piz nairalanderz,am a newbie in webmasterinq. I av succefully created my hosing accnt nd uploaded pbnl.sql script to the site i wana create nw it remains 4 me to import php script to the web bt when i try entering my database through a ftp client it wud nt loq me in. Plz wot do i do in this case? Pleas help me

Chek to see that your ftp details are right.

Note if you are using shared hosting check to see this ftp feature is enabled by your host by default.

Irshittabey: <?php
*/First connect to database then*/
if(isset($_post['submit'])) {
$var1=$_files['picz'] ['name'];
$var2=$_files['picz'] ['tmp_name'];
*/picz is the name of the text field in the form used for uploading the picture*/

$vary=pathinfo($var1);
$varz=$vary['extension'];
$arr=array("PNG","JPG","GIF","png","jpg","gif" ) ;
if(in_array($varz,$arr)) {move_uploaded_file($var2,'pictures/'.$var1 ) ;
mysql_query("insert into tablename (pic) values('".$var1."')" ) ;
*/pictures the name of the folder in ur working directory for pictures,pic is the name in the database it would be saved./*
}
}
}
?>

1. Always trim and make sure that uploaded files name are only alphaNumeric or alphanumeric with underscore or dash. Do not just trust names of upoaded files

2. There is no need of using capitals and small letters. Lol! i understand you and your point. however what if i name my file as nairaland.JpG ? Hmmmmmm you see?

Solution
Apply the php string function called strtolower($_files['picz']['name']) , apply it on the uploaded file name. now you can use only small letters.

Lastly never trust uploaded files. infact use uploading class for more security. i mean better written one may be from symfony.

louie3: pls help me.i'm learning php and i'm having problems with form validation.

what are your problems spit them out

halaspike: Please how will i make this url more friendly?

Thanks for your support.

IamGodzilla: This Shld help coding.smashingmagazine.com/2011/11/02/introduction-to-url-rewriting/

you got things wrong there. his needs go far beyoung .htaccess rule it involves advance rewrite rules, like using php to parse routes or link similar to frameworks.

My advice for you halaspike is this.

1. Modern Way.
Use a php framework to parse the url. this is if you will start again mind you, if you should use a framework it will make things easy and you will be happy.

2. OLd days way.

-----------/ downloads.php file ------------------


if(isset($_GET['archive'])){
// select from database column(mysql,sqldb) or document(noSql db) where title is equal to the given title from GET arrays
// if there is results return an array|object of results it
}
return false; #when no results



---------------/ .htaccess file ----------------

RewriteRule
Rewrite downloads/$1 downloads.php?archive=$1 [L]

dasanchez1: To Ymodulus, mayorall,dav8id and other great importers in the house, my words goes forth saying," The ingenuity of their ideas,the marvellous rapidity of their insight,the sureness of their intuitions,the exactness of their observation on importation,the extreme versatility of their extraordinary genius,made earlier students in importation including me place them on an isolated and even super human position.
I greet u all. One last word I will say is THANK YOU.

hahahahaha oga u made my day. thanks

Coldplay007: Hello peeps, I need clothe labels for my[b] fashion house[/b]. I don't know much about ordering on alibaba..
can Ymodulus and other peeps explain how I can go about doing this on alibaba? I want something not too expensive cos I'm still hustling..
Thanks in anticipation..

Clothes Label

Its called Cloth tags. Yes you can get this on alibaba. i did this for a local tailor man some months back.
There are two types of tags. we have paper tags and cloth tags. The paper tags are those ones we use razor or scissors to cut off from the cloth. why the cloth tags are those ones we attached to the collar.

My Advice.

To make things easy for you, have a dimension and logo or diagram you have in mind to be on whatever tag. For your cloth tag(the one on the collar) try make it cotton 65% and 35% polyester.
Note: 100% cotton tags are expensive and not worth it. its just a tag.


PRICE RANGE.
Note!!! this price range was as at April 2014.

CLOTH TAG
Quantity : 500pcs
Size: 25mm X 5mm
Logo : success
Material: Cloth 100%
Price: N17 / pcs (this price includes transport to Northern Nigeria Niger state to be precise)


PAPER TAG
Quantity : 500pcs
Size: 30mm X 20mm
Logo : success
Material: Paper cardboard
Price: N30 / pcs (this price includes transport to Northern Nigeria Niger state to be precise).

Note:
The following determines cost of tag.
1. Colors
2. Logos
3. Materials

I would have honestly hand over to you the contact but i cant find it in my mail again.



Please if you want to go far in your fashion house. Try get the chinese to design your materials use to sew the clothes. or get them to sew it for you..

Agbani Darego (First and only Nigerian to win the Miss world) does not sew her fashion house clothes here. The guy that handles her project is a nairalander, clothes are sewed in china. Logo are designed also in mass production in china. I am extra sure of what i am saying. Hes a popular nairalander on the politics section. i will ask him if i can give you his contact.

Most interesting thing is that he his a tailor.

In conclusion.
Just get nice diagram and designs and send over to any manufacturer in china to design for you. or ask them for nice materials and you sew it yourself in Nigeria. whatever way. but stay away from Nigerian materials. if you want to be above your mates. Who knows, i might be wearing your clothes one day.

mxxpunkxx1: Cool, not to digress though, what are the steps involved in getting a POS machine from a bank
and setting it up to receive payments from customer's cards . . . ?

I have no ideas on the steps.

However I will say you go for Zenith Bank. I have noticed that in Shop Rite and some other big stores it's either Zenith Bank or Uba Pos they use.

Another Nairalander. Chartey putting Alibaba to use.


He is not just thinking small. I love his IQ and me talking with him I feel so Happy. He challenges me to do something great and be unique.

He met a school with a proposal and now he customises all the socks for the school. Let me add this. the last socks are coming in through Sea. lol!!

Young guys making money. This is what I am talking about.

Grandslam7: u are right bro I just learned something from this guru honestly he has impacted positively to my life.

Thanks. sent you a mail

mxxpunkxx1: Chaii, GTB don suffer

That Bank are made up of criminals. From the CEO to counter. My Friend Inclusive.

########PAYPAL ROUTE #######


Yes you can transfer money to your seller or supplier through PayPal but please let me tell you now. PayPal Refund Policy won't work because we Nigerians can't receive funds. So if a seller wants to make refund. Am sorry it won't work. So just button or Zip Up your Mind.


However Paypal is not a bad Option.

Reason been that you can transfer Money to Chinese suppliers at cheap exchange rate depending on your linked Bank Card.


In simpler terms PayPal is the online Version of Money transfer through 3rd Party Shipping Agents.


I say this in That a Nigerian Shipping Agent wud will charge at exchange rate of #170 but PayPal exchange rate depends on your linked Bank ATM card.


However when you are dealing with $300 and above use Visa Card from Access Bank or Use First Bank. because Gtbank Will deny your transaction on PayPal citing issues of money to big , security bla bla bla. ish.






##############################




Op sorry for intruding. please

That's All

GTBANK. please this bank is one glorified bank. bad on internet transfers. Your transfer is not instant only if it done before 12noon or You operate a current account. Else all other transfers will take place in 24 Hours. Gtbank calls it NEFT transfer.

Also note that if you transfer money online with Gtbank during Weekends like Saturday and Sunday or During Public Holidays. my brother sorry. Your transfer won't go through until the break.
You also need a token to carry out the transfer.

You need token for online transfer and it's expensive. imagine #2100


ACCESS / DIAMOND BANK. They operate same way. Fast internet transfer no restriction of any kind. except that you can't TRANSFER above 2MILLION online.( This is no problem. if u and I want to transfer that. I believe it won't coat us a dime to go to the bank).

You do not need token to transfer money using their mobile banking Application.

You need token to transfer on their online desktop based banking platform. Token cost #1500(Access bank)




FIRSTBANK First bank is good on transfers through Quickteller or ATM . infact I think this is the only bank with online transfer working smoothly. (Note am not so sure please)
Mobile and desktop banking is smooth but nor great as Access and Diamond.




STANBIC BANK. This bank keeps wowing me. Her online platform transfer is not that bad. Just that their beneficiary stuff is kind of a problem. Its not easy like Access and Diamond.




In conclusion and going against my initial statement of no Best Bank. I will say Access and Diamond Have stole my heart.






#######################################


For Major Importers willing to transfer 2Million and above to China please use the following options

1. Letter Of Intent from a recognised bank.

Letter of Intent Is a form of escrow service between your reputable bank or financial body and an international merchant.

Please the above are definition in my own words. refer to Wiki or Google for more

To make the work easier Visit only Zenith Bank or FirstBank. please do not listen to Gtbank staff on these, they are thieves in Shepherd clothes. stay away from them.


If you use Zenith Bank for this kind of transaction you life wi never remain the same. You will eat Free Fooooooooood All paid by the Bank. and cheaper exchange rate of N163 to $1. (Last exchange rate as of July 26 This year.

Note for Letter of Intent First Bank is more easier and well recognised. by Chinese than Zenith.


2. Domiciliary Account.
This is not really the best option but is ok. If you must go this route please Use FirstBank or Access or Diamond. please stay off Gtbank. I repeat stay of Gtbank

CARDs PAYMENT and ONLINE TRANSACTION. Mini - IMPORTERS / MAxi - IMPORTERS. The way forward.


1. Online Payment online on any international merchant site can be done with only VISA or MASTERCARD.

-VIsa card could be VISA DOLLAR CARD or NAIRA VISA DEBIT PREPAID CARD

-MasterCard could be MASTER DOLLAR CARD or NAIRA MASTER DEBIT CARD

2. Difference between Master / Visa card ?

Well differences are not much but are very Vital.

a. Cheaper Exchange Rate: Visa Cards are generally cheaper on exchange rate values to MasterCard.

b. Extra Added Security: Visa Card have Verified By Visa also know as Internet Pin(Ipin). This pin is like your ATM pin but this time its for online transactions only. when you pick up another person Visa Card to use for online transaction on a different Aliexpress Account. I have noticed Aliexpress always prompt for the IPin. this is to ensure you are the holder of have real permission to use that card.

However I can't say same for mastercard. to activate this feature for MasterCard you have to work to your bank and get what is known as activation code. and so on.

in conclusion. on terms of security Visa wins for me.


3. Bank with best Master / Visa Card??


Well in my own experience there is no best Bank MasterCard or Visa Card as the best today might be the worst tomorrow.
However some banks have been known to excellent more better than some on Card Services.


Before we use to know MASTERCARD / VISACARD fro UBA , Zenith FirstBank as one of the best but today things have changed. This is where consistency comes in. enough of the talks.

Banks with better CARD SERVICES are

1. ACCESS BANK ----- VISACARD. --- Cheapest Exchange Rate around $161

2. FirstBank. -- VISA CARD -- Cheaper Than Access ( However not popular and problematic. around $158


3. ECOBANK -- VISA CARD -- Around $164-165

4. ZENITH BANK. -- MASTER CARD -- Around $165

5. GTBANK. -- MASTERCARD. -- Around $166-168 (Gtbank are thieves just one glorified bank)

6. UBA -- MASTERCARD / VISA -- AROUND $170 (please stay off this bank ATM for your own good. please run if you have to do. have nothing to do with this bank)

7. STANBIC BANK --- MASTERCARD -- Around $165

8. SKYEBANK. -- I have not seen or heard about it been used.

9. VISA BANK -- Same as Skye


In my own opinion cheaper exchange rate is not all that matters but good online banking platform. As a mini importer or business man you must embrace E- Banking. Just imagine you transferring money to your shipping agents, clients etc.

When it comes to online bank transfer or banking the following banks rule.

1. ACCESS BANK both Mobile and Desktop bank platform is just too great. Instant fast transfer and quick review.

2. Diamond BANK. Hulalala. they are fire.

You can Google search about the above two banks and see what am talking about.
