So I'm grabbing some html tags from another site and the load times for file_get_contents is at least 8 seconds. Here's what my function looks like (query is submitted through user form) function getTitle($query) { $opts = array('https'=>array('header'=> 'Connection: close')); $context = stream_cont...

I was wondering how I too can build an active forum. What are the steps needed to go about this properly? I'm the only one posting in mines and it's a barren wasteland with month old posts. I did a giveaway once but that only worked for a week and I don't want to buy inflation traffic. I joined this...

Thanks worked like a charm

Hello So I want to make it very easy for site visitors to share videos that they find on youtube. At first I was requiring them to copy and paste the embed code and the video url(for like buttons) I feel that it's a little to much for them and most of the time they mess up. Now I want to store only ...

SO on my site I have a navigation bar. yourtechview.com Now in the past I've had to manually change every single freaking link in the navigation bar on ALL 40 plus pages of my site. As you can tell this becomes a very very strenuous process. I am now trying to store all of the navigation bar informa...

I'm registered with godaddy and in my root directory is missing.html. Until yesterday if anyone tried to edit the header to some bogus location such as yourtechview.com/grherugohg8t45oh8.php then it would redirected to missing.html. Now it's not. Is this even an html issue? this is missing.html <!DO...

Not sure what is going on but I have been having issues with automatically logging out when "www." is used in the header. when I log into the site such as www.blahblah.com .. then my session is working as long as "www." is in the header.. If the header is changed to blahblah.com ...

hmm it seems to work somewhat.
It redirects it to the general area of where the post should be on the page but if I'm
looking at a long list of items, it will still require me to scroll up to see the post I left off on.

Also this does not work with firefox and internet explorer.

So on my site a user as a "wall" where they can post status updates and other people can post a comment on their wall. The issue is that the like button refreshes the page and the user has to scroll all the way back down just to pick up where they left off. This can be quite frustrating fo...

You'd have to post your code for anyone to help you and change the title to something relevant to your problem.

got it working did this function fetch_subscribedto() { $users = array(); $result = mysql_query("SELECT `subtoid` AS `id` , `username` AS `username` FROM `subscribedto` WHERE `myid` = '{$_SESSION['uid']}' "); while (($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) !== false){ $users[] = $row; } return ...

function fetch_subscribedto($subscribedto) { $result = mysql_query("SELECT `id_user` AS `id`, `username` AS `username` FROM `fgusers3` WHERE `username` = {$subscribedto} "); $users = array(); while (($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) !== false){ $users[] = $row; }echo mysql_error(); retu...

Hey guys I noticed I come here a lot and ask questions regarding my php problems. Sometimes I am able to solve a problem just because of the way the PHP syntax tracker shows my code. I can easily pinpoint my errors especially..missing a ; , ' } and </div> . Would anyone know of any free software tha...

cool. Now there are no errors. However, it's not printing any of the data. <?php foreach (fetch_subscribedto() as $user){ ?> <p> <a href="profile.php?uid=<?php echo $user['id'];?>"><?php echo $user['username']; ?> </a> </p> <?php } ?> when I echo $subscribedto I get a result somehow the qu...

I'm working on a subscription system that works similar to youtube so far I am able to manualy subsribe to users by inserting data into the database. Now I want to display the array of users that I am subscribed to on my profile page. However, I am a bit confused on the foreach function and I'm runn...

Hey guys I got it working.

I did this

if (mysql_num_rows($query2) > 0){
	$row = mysql_fetch_array($query2);
 	$toid = $row['id_user'];}
        echo mysql_error();

At first it was saying ==0 instead of > 0 which was a mental blunder on my part.

Temor: Doesn't seem to do anything. The messages are still being inserted into my database just without that variable. Jacek I just want to make sure I am following your instructions properly....like this? $query = mysql_query("SELECT `id_user` FROM `fgusers3` WHERE `username` ='{$to_username}'...

No dice.


Is it silly for me to believe the location of the query relative to the form will change something?

So I am still working on a pm system and it is 90% finished. Here is the form being submitted. This is the "send message" form <form name="form id="form" method="POST"> Send To:<br> <input type="text" name="to_user" id="to_user" style=...
