Ingolme, Your intelligent, That is what am even planning to do before you say it........Thanks!

Thanks, i have solved this problem long ago, using ADDTYPE above

well, i want to display daily news from a website to my webpage such as yahoo news. And i would like to display it in the very size(width and height) that i want them

I need the widget to be in my website. Any easy way that i can walk around to embed a widget inside my web can help

"perhaps there is a better way to implement the functionality into your website." Can you tell me, foxy

I want to use it in my website, to show tables containing some information when a link is clicked

I want to make my web pages to occupy the whole of my testing browsers. But instead, is either i got an over flowing width that extends at the far end of my browsers, or it will not be the same web page-width in most of the browsers i tested them on ,including firefox, opera, IE, Torch.......So what is the exact with in px should i give my outer div to make it occupy perfectly the whole of my browser and to make the with be the same in all browsers. Am using external css to format my webpages If there is any other way to do this please help me!

that is where exactly to add the script you pasted

Ingolme, Am using web-developer controller(server), which portion of the apache configuration script will i add the script in the server panel to make it right!

My php Designer 7 and Dreamweaver cs5 no longer recognizes class files and function files and this happened after uninstalled and reinstalled my server PLEASE what should i do. Am on windows

OK, next time i have to be careful on how i uninstal softwares THANKS

I uninstalled my mysql server and reinstalled it. Unfortunately the files i kept in the webroot inside the local disk where no more. I did all i could to get them back, does it mean that they where deleted and if so, why? Am on window OS and am using web-developer controller(server)

THANK, you two have been of great help! <---It sounds like Apache is not running. You probably need to restart all of WAMP.----> like justsomeguy has just said, my apache is not actually working so i went to my Web-developer Controller because thats what am using not WAMP any. So i opened my Service icon and discovered that my Apache2.2 was not started, i started it and checked my admin so it started responding THANKS GUYS

SO could you explain how i could restart msql server on windows and am using WAMP SERVER

Am on window OS and i think my server is still running because its still installed

The thing just stop working and i can't log into my database through my browsers by clicking the http://localhost/phpmyadmin/,Infact i can no longer execute my php files on my browsers as well because it will just output unable to connect

@justsomeguy, I have SOLVED ii and its fine now--- Its just that am trying to insert values in an AUTO-INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY record Thanks

line23:Duplicate entry '1' for key 1 This is the line of code that has the error----> $sql=mysql_query("INSERT INTO forum_answer(question_id, a_id, a_name, a_email, a_answer, a_datetime) VALUES('$id','$max_id','$a_name','$a_email','$a_answer','$datetime')") or die('line'.__LINE__.':'.mysql_error());

/////////////////////////////////////// line:113 /////////////////////////////////////////////// $sql4=mysql_query("INSERT INTO forum_question(view) VALUE('$view') WHERE id='$id'") or die(mysql_error()); ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The above line of code is where my error stuck its ######ing head at......The view record in my database table has already contained a value of '0' but being a ######ing guy, am trying to INSERT INTO an already occupied ###### instead of "UPDATE forum_question SET view='$view' WHERE id=".$id.""-----> I did that and it worked perfectly Thanks to JUSTSOMEGUY for suggesting the __LINE__ "magical" PHP constant. Thanks to THESCIENTIST for directing me to PHP.net Am grateful! Hope to count on you next time

@JUSTSOMEGUY,@THESCIENTIST I have good news for you guys... I HAVE SOLVED IT using the very __LINE__ "magical" PHP constant. but am coming back to tell you how i did it

@thescientist, please don't be offended, how can i use JSG suggestion

still not yet solved @justsomeguy, the problem is that i don't know how to split the script and run them in fragments to know which exact line has the problem

am very sorry@ thescientist, its just that i have done all i could to solve the problem so am kind of going mad
