  1. I aggree with that, but I also think the usement of the creation is important. Besides the difficulty of the project, a website creator would be more useful (wanted) than a guestbook, wouldn't it? Just an example though.
  2. I think that using a database for the file management, is more editable. Yes you must write a piece of code to create and maintain it, but if you have that, you can have settings in an admin panel to turn new files on, off or edit their location or name.You wouldn't have to interfere with the files themself, via FTP. The piece of code would be able to do that by itself. With any interface you want, even what you want you're moderators to get (if you have them).But it is only my opinion, you may have your own of cource. And I don't say you must not use scandir()
  3. Maybe it does, but security software still shields the computer, against invisible threats, or threats that bypass the browser or whatever, as I said I am no expert in the malware itself and what it can do.Even if IE lets more malware through than any other browser, that is because its the most commonly used browser, its standard in all windows systems. When eg firefox gets the mayority, wouldn't the malware creators not turn to that browser to create malware that even penetrates firefox?
  4. And still I think the net can be infecting when you don't do anything :)Anyway, even if it is not, it is still a recommendation to have antivirus software, in case you still get virusses when you clicked or got redirected to a malicious site
  5. My scripting friend also uses that function. But I disrecommended using scandir() for him. I prefer using the database to store the information when added to the site. When the content of some directory must be listed, all the data that is in the database can be used. I think this has some advantages over the scandir(), as with this exeptions can be made, or restrictions in whatever the user may view, for example. And they can be easily online edited But this isonly an alternative, no forcement..
  6. Yes, true. I'll think of something else. *thinks*
  7. With that, I can't help you.. I am not a malware creator, but I know it should be possible. My dad is confident he didn't do anything he shouldn't do, and he still got infected by malware. Darn
  8. We could help the tutorial writers with their tutorials, while we outcount them. They promised an update didn't they? But that takes time. So what if we'd help them in something? As you know, we take part of the site itself as a community. Why, instead of adding something cool application just help them with their 'job'?
  9. Maybe a new idea.. What if the project was about creating the perfect tutorial of <whatever> language for beginners, advanced and experts? With it, we could help the site as an addition, whatever. Good idea?
  10. That is not true, malware can get into your machine without your interaction (these days*), unfortunately. My dad's computer is the evidence..
  11. I only have IE, I haven't experienced ANY downside with it myself. (only the absence of CSS2/3)Maybe someone could come up with its lack of security towards malware, but that is actually up to your security software, not the browser, my opinion. And I have a strong security, never had any problems with either IE or my software.Besides malware, I also never had any unsolvable problems with css or markup. It just does what I want There isn't more to it is there?
  12. And this goes at the end of the body inside a script element
  13. Indeed, so I try not to cause the wrong impression. Lets see this topics as suspended, untill any admin reaction has come out
  14. C# Is the microsoft version of C++ or something alike, isn't it? And .NET is also Microsoft's. But why should we use Microsoft only, PHP is open source, I think that would be more logical to use
  15. I also always use hexcodes, but with that explanation of http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutorials/colors/ I now understand how those hexcodes work. So I don't have to use a page that sommuns all hex colors It is very handy to know how they work, it is like the rgb() values.

    Errors

    There are several mistakes.Remember this thing: a variable that is an array and has an element definition, namely angled brackets, then the string would ignore those brackets and read only the variable (array) name, IF you don't surround the entire variable with element specifications by braces Like this:$string = "this is a piece of text with the word {$_POST[Player]} specified";Besides, when those array keys are strings instead of numbers, they must be quoted (single). So this is it:$string = "this is a piece of text with the word {$_POST['Player']} specified";[*Edit:] It doesn't matter if it is SQL or not, thats a string too.
  17. Of cource, but what when various links contain the same text, but only one should be removed? Its better to safely target the link, to obsolete an array
  18. The links I supplied explained that, and gave even a scheme for grey and red teints And an explanation about "dithering" and "safe colors"
  19. I think he means we all should use general names, structurised, so it will not get ambiguous or double or something [*Edit:] Oh, and that too /\/\
  20. Aarg, I understand! :)You don't have to go that deep in explaining, I know. I am neutral in adding a reputation system or any system for that matter, I don't bother (don't get angry) if it will not be done. As you say, it could be nice, but its not necessary. I know the admins are very busy, and because almost all mods don't like this system, the subject is closed for me :)You moderators represent the opinion of the admins, at least thats what I think, so if you don't like it, don't make such a deal of it No installation, no hassle, no hard feelings. :blink:And if you mean even you don't like it but the admins might, and that we should wait untill they decide to still install it, then yeah, it would be nice. But I don't force anyone to it.
  21. The full syntax: INSERT INTO tablename (column1, column2, column3)VALUES ('a1','a2','a3'), ('b1','b2','b3'), ('c1','c2','c3')
  22. According to me, it is not possible to place selectors with their property-value pairs inside another property-value pair of another selector.You have this:something1 {prop1:some1;something2 { prop2:some2; }}And that is not allowed You can't nest them.
  23. What about greaseMonkey? Is it a browser, or a language?With javascript that link can easily be removed from a page, but you should target its parent to get the element form the DOM structure. Or add an ID attribute, but if you want to remove it by script, then adding an attribute would not be a sollution :)Could you post the code that this link is in, so we can target it with script?
