Right now if you use a query in the url bar like this you can get the results without using the captcha on my site. http://example.com/results.php?s=google.com&q=1 I need to make it so that this can only be ran from my site. So somehow if the page header is not from my site they would get...

Hey, ive been going thru tutorials, but cant seem to figure it out. I want this URL, and others, like this, http://www.draftwatchers.com/prospects/profile.php?playerid=1 to be either, www.draftwatchers.com/prospects/1 or even www.draftwatchers.com/prospects/Joe-Smith Something like that.

I finally managed to get Apache running but only if you use an IP address to get to it. I've no managed to get MySQL running as well but i can't get PHP to work with Apache. This seems odd to me because i've never had these problems before but last time i did PHP i was using windows XP. Has...

I have webalizer2.0 installed. I tried setting up a cronjob that ran once an hour but all I get is an email tlling me that the job failed. Webalizer :- Errrrmmmm.... I would disagree at this point on the claim that it runs as a cron job. The cronjob was set and reports a success in...

I recently created a folder within my root folder. I want it to be password protected. I know my user name and password, but when I log in I get a 403 Forbidden Error.

Hello I need to make sure I'm doing this correctly so not causing any other problems accidentally.

I am not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes: I have set up password protection for a folder on my website using .htaccess and .htpasswd. This works as it should for IE, Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome; that is anyone trying to access the folder is prompted for a user name and...

Hey guys, I'm tryign to use a .htaccess file to rewrite the url so far its working for the most part. I have managed to remove .php extension from all files. the problem is though it is now disregarding any index.php file. for example www.domain.com/register/ should realize that it is a...

I've been having some troubles with bounce backs and some blacklisting on my server account. I have the rDNS setup fine, but someone suggested to me to begin adding SPF records to my accounts. I found it wasn't too hard to do, but I don't know too much about it. Anyone have any thoughts? What's the...

Hi all, Apologies to begin with... I'm a bit of a newbie and have what will probably be a really silly question for you all. I have bought hosting with 123-reg (yes I know probably a big mistake)... I am trying to create a member area on my site. Now 123-reg doesn't use anything sensible...

Hello, I've run into a bit of a problem with an SSL certificate giving a cert_error for the https://domain.com version of our website, however the certificate works just fine with the WWW version, and am not sure how to fix this to avoid any possibility having this error come up. Ideally...

How exactly do you design HTTP headers, and where do they go in your HTML file? I've yet to find a website that explains it easy enough for me to understand it.

I have create several websites but now I am looking to restrict certain areas of my website and I am also looking to redirect a user to a certain area based on their password. I would also like to have the option to let people retrieve lost passwords. Below are a few examples of some software that...

What can you do with Apache Mod Rewrite? I use it to make search engine friendly URLs, but I've seen whole books dedicated to the subject, so that leads me to believe you can do a lot more with it.

I have a directory with flv videos in it. I have devised a system to, as best I can, keep the URLs entirely hidden from the user as I load them into a flash player through a php script. I want to, as much as possible prevent other scripts (on other domains) from accessing this directory and prevent...
