  1. This is all well and good, but what are your PERSONAL experiences with these hosts? I'm leary of anything 'free'. Nothing is free. 'Free' probably means you'll be carrying banners or Google adsense whether you like it or not. I intend to do a lot of streaming, both video and podcasts. Therefor, I need a lot of bandwidth, but not only do I need bandwidth, I need clear, uninterrupted bandwidth. In other words, no lag. This probably means I need a dedicated server. In general (I'm guessing here), stay away from hosts that adverstise "we host x thousand websites". These are probably slow. I'm guessing again, but I estimate that 30 Gb of space and 750 Gb of bandwidth/mo is what I need. I need PHP and Javascript, and am not sure that I need mySQL, but probably do. There will be a free section with sample content and a members' site that is password protected. Can anybody suggest a host that meets this spec, and you have experience with this host? I also need a guru/webite master that provides consulting and a little bit of coding to get me started. There's lots I don't know and I need someone who is an expert at all this so that I get the site protected and as fast and efficient as possible. Lastly, I have next to no budget! Please send money. Have your credit card ready! Operators are standing by to take your call.

    These are great answers. But one thing:How do you obtain image size? Will calling the inage tag without dimensions give the image the proper dimensions? Or must I keep that info in the database?Forgive me for being ignortant, but I'm simply exhausted and have no energy to test it. Thanks.

    Pop ups in PHP?

    I know how to make popus in javascript. And there are many types of pop ups. Javascript handles these well, but I'd rather do this server-side with PHP, not client-side.Is php capable of doing these? Can anyopne point me to an example? Anything helps, for I have plenty of applications for these.I'll stretch it a little bit, and request a specific. I want to do this immediately:Click on a thumbnail image, and have that link to a full screen image (an html file that has an image tag, no scroll bars, no menu, no address bar; just plain jane with close button).Simple, eh? How?
  5. Jesh is right. But here's the short version:The short version is that you create a pop-up, and that pop-up includes the xml file: <xml id="note" src="note.xml"></xml> There are numerous types of pop ups. Look to javascripts to make the desired type.Bonus question: Are there ways to create popups in PHP?

    RSS podcast feeds?

    This is so silly. I've searched all over the web for 'How make podcasts'. All that turns up are partial explanations, or explanations like...1. Plug your headphones in....How stupid!Or you can buy a 'burner' that does it automatically for you. No thanks!I just want an example XML or RSS file that shows the structure and what MUST be included. Fer pete's sake! And if possible, the tags used by iTunes to list the tunes in the feed.Can someone help me out here?
  7. Thank you! I can now proceed!
  8. I have a script that I got out of a book. This script writes anchors like this <a href='index.php?page=faq'>FAQ</a> Notice that 'faq' could have been any id.I want to do this <a href='index.php?page=museums and locale=wherever>FAQ</a> //where locale is a countryHow do I delimit the two params? Do you use a semi colon, or whut? I'm stuck! The receiving page gets both params. Museums will be the items to retrieve from a mySql database, and locale will be what country to retrieve them from. In other words the query string will be something like$query = 'select * from tableX where type==museum and country==$locale'; Erm.. something like that... nevermind my punctuation. You get the picture.So, how do I pass the two params to the receiving page? Please help.Thanks
