Custom Markup?

Physicsguy — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:23:41 GMT

Hi,

I've created a form which allows user input. However, it grabs any < and > and replaces them with > and <, making it tougher to hack. But I still want users to have access to bold text or italic text.

I've thought about preg_matching everything between two tags, for example, everything between *bold* and */bold* will be bold, and everything between *italic and */italic* will be italic. But that takes time, greatly adding to the loading time of the pages.

I don't care about an extra second, but about 5 seconds is too much. Is there a faster way to do this?

Thanks,

Possible for this scenerio?

Brian07002 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:14:42 GMT

Suppose I wanted to sell advertising space on my site, could it be possible to charge for a position based on the amount they paid?

Another words, you visit the site, select the image you want to upload (form), then you would go to the paypal website to submit a payment amount of your choice (right from the form) then the ad would be placed accordingly on the site. Meaning that the ads are sorted based on the amount that was paid, higher priced ads on 'homepage' cheaper prices on higher pages into the site.

-- Or--

would I have to do the placement manually? I never looked into other scripts for this purpose as I am thinking this would be a new idea.

Thanks, and I am awaiting replies!

How To Hide Something (PHP-Like), but PHP doesn't work!

Physicsguy — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:15:45 GMT

Hello again,

I've made a text file, and in with all the information is a password. It's easy to find, if you know where to look, so I'd like to be able to hide it. Here's my text file:

Code:

***Stuff I need to hide***Just some Information|

Now, I have my script to echo everything to the page. It needs to do that, otherwise my other scripts won't work.

How can I just output "Just some Information" minus the ***Stuff I need to hide***?

I've thought, just echo everything after the second find of "***", but I need to have it there, just invisible.

I've also tried this:

Code:

Just some Information|

But when you view the source, you can see in it "Just some Information".

So I need a way for it to echo to the page, but not be visible to either the page or the source...?

How can I do this? It's stumped me for about 10 minutes...

Need primer in FLV editing

jagdriver — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:45:58 GMT

I have a quick edit I need to do to a FLV file, but have no editing tool at present. I could download the Flash trial, or I could get a free Flash editing tool. What do you recommend?

And what would be the absolute fastest way to get up to speed on this?

Meta or CSS First?

DynamicFlooder — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:54:57 GMT

In a basic web page is there a specific order scrips should be listed?

Would it make a difference in SEO if I listed Meta Tags first instead of CSS?

Is listing Meta then CSS and web standard?

Is it ethical...

andrei155 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:58:41 GMT

I have a customer that wants me to make their website more "pretty". Essentially, they are asking me to redesign their site. It's one of those online store websites, that runs on a shopping cart system.

I've never seen or heard of the script they are running, and really don't want to work around it. I don't know if it allows for easy design integration, so I've told my customer that I'll be building them a whole new website - and that they'll have to re-enter all product information manually. What I plan on doing is picking up a good shopping cart script (I've seen some very nice commercial ones around), and basically create them a template of their liking for it.

For this, I'm charging $350.00. Is it right for me to do so?

mailing harvester thing

bdg1115 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:05:16 GMT

Not sure if this is the right spot, but on my website when someone sends in an inquiry it comes with an email. Then I have to physically take that email address and copy and paste it into a file, and it sucks! haha. Is there something I can do or use to where it takes that email and puts into a file for me?

Thanks,

Brian

How to get my excel spread sheet with formula's onto my site?

Help with administrator tools

moshe770 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:09:00 GMT

I am not so professional so if I'm not using the right terminology or posting in the correct forum please forgive me. Thanks in advance to whoever offers help.

I need to build website for a friend's company. He needs a simple informational website, it doesn't need shopping cart/checkout or anything complicated. The main purpose is to list products that they manufacture for customers to view. Afterward they order via telephone/fax.

Where it gets complicated is that of course the business owner will need to update the site. I need a program where he can log in with username/password, obviously something secure. Preferably the admin should be able to create new users. The main function is to add products. There will be a menu on the side of the website linking to a separate page for each product category (they have a lot of products). The trick is that he wants to be able to edit the order of how the products appear (i.e. not necessarily should they be in order of newest/oldest or a-z).
He also wants to have the ability to change the order of the product categories on the main menu.

The other questions I have should be fairly easy. How do I create forms and leave control to him of where they are sent to (in others words he can change the e-mail address).

How can I install an efficient product search engine for the page (not those cheap kinds that bring you to a new, different-looking site for the results).

I would also like to create a nice flash banner for eye-candy. Does anyone know of a good site where I can do this easily for cheap or free?

I would like to note that I am not a programmer. I know html and css, and I have enough brains to learn new tricks with a little playing around. What I need to know is where I can find already-existing software that can do these functions, and how do I upload/install it. Thanks again in advance for any help.

Put a map access by train on a website

Kurt G�del — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:05:35 GMT

Hello,

I'm the webmaster of a school, and I need to create the "Map access" page, that's the page where we tell you how to go to the school, by car, by train and by plane. I've already done the "by car" part, I inserted a google map frame (i have a Google API key) which calculates the trip from any position in the world to the school, perfect.

Now I want to create an interactive page for the "by train" part. Basically, what I want is that the users enter their location in a text box, and that it shows which train/subway to take to come to the nearest station from the school (i know the name of the station of course).
I thought it was possible to do it with Google maps (there's an Iphone app which does it I think), but I have no idea how to do it on a website, so I need your help.

Another idea is to make a link to transilien.com (I live in France, and this is THE website for traveling by train). Go to http://www.transilien.com/web/site, type anything in the first textbox (say "PARIS - GARE DE L'EST") and anything in the seconde textbox (for example "PARIS - GARE DU NORD"). Then click on the green "Trouver" button, and it will show you different trips to go from the starting to the finishing point, it's great. What I want, is that the visitors type their location on the school's website, and click on a button which will bring them to a transilien.com page and show them the ways to come to the school by train. Can anybody help me?

Thanks a lot.

Hit counter ?!

shile — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:24:39 GMT

I have a travel web site...just realized.
By Google I have 5-6 unique visits, 20 all visits per day...
By Awstat I have 15-19 unique, 50 all visits per day...
By Webalizer I have 40-45 unique , 100 all visits per day...

I do not ask which is real..but I installed a hit counter on 11:00 today (CGI script from my cPanel fantastico)...to get a real time monitoring of visits...
I know bad things about that

BUT my hit counter now (13:25) displays 259 visits/openings (20-25 is mine) but its alot more that what stat programs are saying...

Its a huge difference....I want to know why?

Simple Flash question

b0881 — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:49:34 GMT

I probably should know this, but I cant for life of me remember, so I'm calling on you lot.

In my flash movie I have a movie clip on frame 1, I want it to play that movie clip, then at the end move onto frame 2, but I cant seem to get it to do that.

I thought it was as simple as sticking _root.gotoAndPlay(2) on the end frame in the movieclip, but it doesnt like it.

Any one shed any light on where Im going wrong?

Thanks.

If you go to Hulu you see a picture of the show, and when you click the arrow it slides to the next one. How would you do this? Does anyone know of a tutorial? I think it can be done in Javascript.

Coder VS Web Developer
