Got it fixed...I had missed on the php website that the latest version needed visual C++. Installed that and it started working! :-)

Followed the tutorial you posted as well as another which was very similar. So far, still no luck getting everything to work.
FastCGI is throwing an error when I try to access a php page in a...

That's a very good tutorial on installing php. I've found some other good ones similar to it. But, I was kinda looking for a one stop shop to get php and MySQL installed.

Is it best to install...

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the PHP section or here. Figured this is more of a server management thing than coding...so here it is! :-)

I've just begun to play with a test Windows...

I've been "managing" a dedicated server for years. I know enough to be dangerous and keep the server going, but I am certainly still learning.

The box I manage is only for myself, so don't think...

Figured out the problem...
turns out it was the flash file's fault...sorta.

The slideshow I'm using uses an xml file to index the images to use.
Well, that file HAS to be in the root of the site...

Ugh...finally got it to work.

I kept messing with it, trying different things and all of a sudden it worked. I tried so many things, I'm not sure what exactly I did that fixed it!

Now the only...

Heh heh...as have I. I've looked at it several times trying to find SOMETHING wrong with it.

I would also think that if the path were wrong I'd get an "x" or something, not just a blank white...

Yeah, I've tried taking out all that extra stuff and just do a straight embed and/or object tag and it still won't work. Very frustrating!

(Wasn't sure which forum to post this in...)

I'm trying to put a simple flash slideshow on a mostly html page (constructed via php). The swf plays fine locally, plays fine if I load it directly...

I currently have a php-based calendar on my site.

This calendar works fine as the site is now, but I'm redoing the site with more php code which would conflict with the calendar needing to refresh...

Weird...wonder what it was. I was using the same code on my server and it was working. Must have been one of the lines that deals with server specific variables, huh?

Glad it's working finally!...

I've been coding under the watchful eye of a mentor (of sorts) for just over a year. I don't do php as a job except for a little here and there on the side. So, my opportunites to expand my...

Looks like you guys are on a roll. You're in good hands, Buconine! Nightshift is much more knowledgable than I am. I still sometimes do things the slightly longer way out of ignorance. :) Like...

Buconine,
Sorry I hadn't gotten back to you. Season's fesitivites and all! :)

Nightshift,
There weren't just code fragments here. The whole script (with the exception of how he was getting the...

Yep yep...more concise...I like it!

You got it! No problem at all! :)

Are status and vendor variables? If so, where's the '$' and where are they defined?

If they're fields in a db table, you need to put them into an array or something from a valid mysql query first.

I didn't think you wanted that, but I left it in so you could see for sure the checkboxes were behaving properly. Don't forget the spelling mistake...maintenance. :)

Glad to help! Good luck!

Will you guys kiss and make up already? ;)

Here's what I think you're going for:


echo '<table border="0">'.
'<tr><td align="center">Wired</td><td align="center">Wireless</td><td align="center">Rooms</td></tr>' .
'<tr>' .
'<td...

So, when you get info from the db you want the checkbox to be checked if there's a value in the db for that field...gotcha.

Okay, IF you decided to go with the 1 for checked and 0 for unchecked......

Yeah, just make some transparent gifs that get displayed in those places all the time.


$transGif = '<img src="blah">';
(($order_by == "model_name ASC";)? $arrowUp : $transGif )

Very glad to help! Also happy to hear you understand what's going on! You'll be showing me how to do stuff soon enough!

Sorry I had that one boo-boo in there that was obliterating any chance of...

I thought that was the case, but he said he was using post. Isn't there a setting for php that will put the vars in the url for post too? I was researching it a bit, but I can't find it. Just...
