Re: Php?

Lol....you might wanna hook up with a PHP coder then, but they tend to be hard to find. I have a few people around me and one PHP coder who does all my coding jobs (we split the project profit on those occasions).

Re: Php?

Re: Php?

php gives me a headache on a regular basis... you can checkout my website for what i did with it... i even did some image manipulation thingies on there (for instance: the thumbnails in my gallery are generated on-the-fly) and i've even done some more on other projects (for instance: stamping images with a transparent gif)... i could give you some code of those projects, if you'd like, but don't expect extensive commenting ;)

btw: have you tried css? you can modify basic formatting (like the width of table columns, and others) by simply editing the css file, without modifying the html. not sure if it will suit your needs, though...

Re: Php?

thanks let me download your page and see it on dreamwevaer to see what i can learn......also i cant see a php on my computer think i need to install apache, but also i remember there was a code on shtml to do the same as php i mean include anohter shtml on one, so i can modify the page abit easier..do someone know?..damn i need internet at home it would be more easier to me....thanks anyway

thanks in advaced

Re: Php?

i'll upload a package of the whole code, but it does use mysql as a data backend, so without the database it won't be functional. also, i have no idea what dreamweaver will make out of it... i've never used any gui web designer software ;)

as for the local viewing of php sites: yes, you will need an apache running somewhere, be it on your local machine or on some webserver out there in the internet. if you wanna play around with it, i'd recommend one of the bundled server packages, for instance XAMPP ([URL]http://www.apachefriends.org/de/xampp.html[/URL]) which should install an apache webserver, a mysql database backend, a php and a perl interpreter. another project would be WAMP - unfortunately both only have a german website, no idea why... personally, i've never used any of these, i've got a pretty little linux box on which i installed all parts myself ;)
