Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Subject: screen resolution!
I suggest you use JavaScript rather than PHP, because when using server side scripts, you most probably need to use functions/variables out of the Document Object Model (DOM). When you use JavaScript, no extra trafic is generated on the network/internet, and that isn't even necessary! Specificaly, use the javascript variables "document.body.clientWidth|clientHeight", inside a JavaScript. When these variables, that represent the number of pixels of the browser-window, are read, then you can draw anything to the screen that fits into these values of pixels. You don't need separate css-stylesheets or tables, as mentioned by the other posters in this thread! E.g.(I allready posted this message, but it was only sent to JeRRy.

[PHP-DB] problems with mysqli extension
Hello!
I've can't get php to communicate through mysql via the unix socket.
I've compiled apache-2.0.55, mysql-5.0.18 and php-5.1.2. I've configured
mysql to put the unix socket in the /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock file.
Among the compilation options that I passed to php, there are
"--with-mysqli=shared,/usr" and
"--with-mysql-sock=/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock".
I've started the mysql and httpd daemons.
To test the connection to mysql I've used the following php script:
[code]
", mysqli_connect_errno());
exit();
}
printf("Host information: %s", $mysqli->host_info);
$mysqli->close();
?>
[/code]
All I get is "Connect failed: can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)" but the socket file
is there!
I'm in desperate need of help.
Thanks
Filippo

[PHP-DB] First web app, ever, so please bear with me
Greetings all! I am finally taken the plunge and started trying to develop a web application. I've got a fair amount of web design experience with straight up HTML, I've written a few scripts with perl, and I'm slightly familiar with SQL. This is to give you some background... I'm by no means experienced so please bear with me. Currently I'm using a forum to gather business reviews from subscribers to a website. Once a substantial number have been gathered, I want to use them to populate a database that can be appended to by users. The actual application (once data has been migrated) will have two uses: first, users should be able to search by geographic area for businesses based on zip code, town name, business name, distance from a given zipcode, etc. If a certain field isn't filled in, it should be assumed to be a wildcard (for instance, if a user would enter no business name, or town name, but they do enter 10 mile radius from 90210, then all businesses within 10 miles of 90210 that have reviews will be displayed). I'd like to use a similar form to allow users to submit reviews for new businesses. Most of this may seem pretty simple, but like I said, I've never worked with PHP before, or SQL, let alone both. And whats worse, I've got no idea how to do anything with the geographical code (the X mile radius from zip code Y thing). So, where would be a fair place to get started (besides the obvious php.net)? I hope this wasn't too vague - thanks again guys! Also, this is my first post, so please be gentle :)
[PHP-DB] Problems in creating image
