@DualCore: Just like you have mentioned, we intend to reduce or eliminate "trashed based web devs" in the market to the barest minimum, the industry is filled with them, it makes it difficult for customers to really define value any longer. They (customers) begin to see every developer with the look of caution and begin to trivialize the value developers bring on board.

However, this PHP Training is one of the development trainings in our arsenal, we also will be commencing ASP.NET training in the first quarter of next year.

Once again, thanks DualCore, meanwhile, navigated to your website, Loving the concept of a desktop win vista style, pretty nice. If you know any newbies in the market please refer them for the training, kind regards

if you want to do the text in bold then start by leading with example. your website (though looking simple enough) is not telling me anything except stalled news.

Give that site a FACE. until then can you mean what u said above. OK?

I won't want to say much about the site since it's not under review but, by now you should understand what DC is trying to point out.

to achieve your goal we need to do the following modification to the processing.

- renaming the images with a unique name which should be generated automatically during upload
- a table or a column in a table(d one that stores d other information) that stores the name and location of the image.
- sql query that will call the name & location for display.

(I want to assume u already've d form and folder ready)

will put up a tutorial on the above and post it here ASAP.

I need to populate a "select field" in a form from a mysql database.Can anybody help with the scripting?

i downloaded a certain web application from sourceforge, in the installation package, i was instructed to 'execute' the install.php on my control panel, how do i execute this file? i doubleclicked the file and it starts to download.

Hello guys. For those of u that really wants to learn and learn fast, u have to cultivate the habit of less reliance on somebody who will explain codes to u. Your most important tool on the web is google. Google all your challenges ( be it code or implementation of a function), u'll surely find an answer on google. There's no programming challenge u might be facing that some people on the web have not faced before and that has not been solved in several ways before. SO make google your friend even as you visit this forum for solutions. Good Luck!

@ uti-mayor. I downloaded a certain web application from sourceforge, in the installation package, i was instructed to 'execute' the install.php on my control panel, how do i execute this file? i doubleclicked the file and it starts to download.

You can not view a .php file on a browser directly(unlike a .html file). You need an apache server like xampp or wampp. If u have an apache server installed on your computer already, make sure u start it and that apache is running on it. After doing that, go to the location where ur server is installed, find htdocs directory then copy and paste the folder you downloaded from source forge, which contains the installer.php file you want to view in a browser, into the htdocs directory. Once that is done, open your browser and type the url to the file like this: http://localhost/the foldername/installer.php. Hit enter. You should see the page show up if you followed the instructions correctly.

Hope this help.

@geebengs thanks but i am a still a little confused, please explain in a layman's understanding.

A little tip here. It may be usefull depending on your Website Control Panel.
But this applies to Cpanel.
On CPANEL if you should create an uploading script and run it on. All files will by default be CHMOD to 0644 and this is not good in some instances for example if you are developing a downloading and uploading site as you wont have full control over those item untill you manually CHMOD it or you do so using the Php function. Now to combat this dont use the [B]Move_uploaded_file function rather use the Copy file function and by default all your items will be Chmod to 777[/b] note that this is usefull if you want to delete items on your site without doing it manually but by running a Script

This is another tip i fill may be usefull i found it when i had similar problems.
You may be developing a client site for example a fashion site and its kinda a customised site where she uploads her fashion pics now since she do this uploading daily some files (by this i mean pictures) may have the same name with the others she uploaded yesterday now if she should upload this new files it will by default override the former file. In other to combat this Modify all file uploading file name by adding a UNIQUE NUMBER TO ITS NAME. AND THEN HAVE THIS FILE UPLOADED OR YOU CAN [b] Add the DATE AND TIME Of UPLOAD TO THE UPLOADING FILE NAME[/B] this will prevent overriding since No Day and time can ever repeat itsself.
PLEASE PARDON ME AM NOT EXPLAINING THIS WITH CODES BECAUSE AM ON MY MOBILE PHONE.

@geebengs thanks but i am a still a little confused, please explain in a layman's understanding.

ok Friend let me explain before Geebengs add more you cant view any SERVER SIDE LANGUAGE SCRIPT IN ITS PROCESSED FORM Just like that you have to use A Server and this is something like a Website Control panel. While if you want to view it on your local Computer you have to get a XAMPP OR WAMP SERVER. You can download it. They are open source but pls i would advice you Go for Xampp and not Wamp

@UTI-MAYOR
this is a detailed explanation of what to do.
1. [B]DO THIS IF YOU WANT TO RUN THE SCRIPT ON YOUR COMPUTER[/B]
I will assume you are using XAMPP.
Now copy the files you downloaded from Source Forge. NOW OPEN Your Local Disk and look for where your XAMPP folder.
[B] NOTE THIS I use Windows Vista but am going to give little tip On Xp too because i dont know your Os[/b] if you use Xp open your Local Disk => goto programm files and search for Xampp. But if you use Vista follow the latter process. NOW OPEN THE Xampp folder and look for the folder named [B]HTDOCS[/b] open this folder and paste what you copied (i.e the file you downloaded).
NOW Follow Attentively.
Note or take a look at where the install.php folder resides in that htdocs folder. For example if when you open the htdocs you see the install.php file then it means the file exist in the root but if you have to open other files note the files you have to open to see this install.php after you note this
Open your MOzilla or any other browser and type in this
127.0.01/the folders path linkin to where the install.php file exist/ install.php
but if your file exist in the root folder which is when you open you Htdocs you see the install.php file then type in this 127.0.01/install.php this is it
2. IF YOU ARE ON A WEBSITE CONTROL PANEL FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURE THE DIFFERENCE HERE IS THIS upload the file into your Cpanel go to where you upload the file CHMOD it to 777 but i will advice you to do this to 755. If you know you dont want to delete the install.php file. This will prevent hackers. After doing this go to your browser and type in www.nairaland.com/the path to where the install.php file is /install.php or if the file is in your root folder type in www.nairaland.com/install.php pls note that you replace nairaland with the website domain. This is all.
I Think you ok now.

^^^ Thanks bro, you're a darling, muuuah.

@UTI-MAYOR, I believe it's ok now?

@Young. Very true of that example you gave of a file upload site.

But i must say your method is poor. Cause in sites like facebook, people upload files the same day with the name sample.jpg so concatenating will fail.

Ultimate solution is concatenating a uniquely generated random number, with the file name!

I am developing a chat solution currently among my many projects and i had to use such method, in case two people with the same name come online for a chat!

Youngichou, thanks, i am now good, anybody with any news publishing source code? as in publishing news like sun news papres do online.
