Re: [PHP] Re: problem with this regex to remove img tag...
Thanks guys!
This (From Tul/Sokolewicz):
$html = preg_replace('#(<[/]?img.*>)#U', '', $html);
worked perfectly! I'm just learning this stuff so its extremly hard for me... i
have been messing around with PHP for years but rarely even dipped my toes into
the REGEX part as I think it would be easier for me to learn greek :)
Now that thats over... can anybody recommend a good starting point to learn
regex in baby steps?
Cheers!

Re: [PHP] Pirate PHP books online?
Hey, The same would happen if I did everything myself. Within days of self-publishing a eBook, it would be on a pirate site. At least with a publisher, legal copies do get sold, and I do get a return on the time invested, even though it's not as much as I would like. Also depends on how popular your site is... coz for example if your site is really popular... say 30k uniques a day, then making an ebook would be great as even though it would get pirated (by the way, check out the digital copies of harry potter if you're into that...(i'm not) how many days has it been since the release?) And as for not getting as much as you would like... thats just human nature, whatever you get wouldnt really be enough unless its some really crazy number. Unfortunately, an eBook is very easy for a pirate to rip off. The danger with piracy is that authors will be discouraged from writing, and in the end everyone will be worse off. Discouraged...yes, stop writing...no. Coz looking at history... we still have movies and music dont we? In both "normal" and disc form. Lets face it, however much time and effort goes into getting a book from the authors first copy to a proper book cant compare (in $$) to what it takes to get a movie from script to screen. > Disagree again, if Adam uploads or not, there is a whole bunch of stuff > out there that he cant hope to download in a lifetime. It was never mentioned *when* Adam uploaded his file, it could've been when the site first started out and uploads then were lacking. Time is irrelevant, because unless the site is Adam's site, or he is in some way connected to it... he can go to X number of sites and get more files than he could possibly see in a lifetime. Imagine that you're stealing a software from best buy or just walking out with tons of unpaid books from Barnes and noble. Piracy should be considered the same thing. If someone can't afford expensive corporate software I believe there are a lot of other similar open source software that can do just as good and useful. The comparasion of stealing from a shop and taking digitally has been already done to death on this very thread so I'm not going to go there... start around july 20 in the archives if you're curious. As to your second point of when someone cant afford the software they should just switch to a similar one... from what i gather from my friends, they do it for the following reasons: 1. For the thrill, they are getting away with it 2. They are defying and hence hitting back at one of the "big boys"...like M$,Ad0be etc 3. They are not making any comprimises...getting exactly what they want. The question does arise of is it morally right...? but then again is it morally right for M$ / Ad0be to sell their software for USD 499 in the U.S and 499 pounds in the U.K? Or for a CD to sell for $14.99 in the US and the same CD to sell for 14.99 quid in the UK? Cheers!

Re: [PHP] Pirate PHP books online?
Hey, Piracy, unauthorized copying, call it what you will, involves a chain. Perhaps if the poor saps who make the unauthorized copies realized just how they're being exploited, things might change. Sorry, but disagree with you here, the "poor saps" know the site owners are making money but just dont give a crap... the actual reason they choose to upload and share can probably start another thread thats longer than this one... but IMHO they know how it works and just want to share. They know they cant make a cent off it coz if the site owners started to pay them... theres a money trail that can be picked up/traced and they get into trouble... This way they upload if they want to... and downloads are always there.. Not exactly, Adam's payback is that he hopes others do the same, so where he uploaded one item, he is able to download hundreds and thousands of items that others have uploaded. Disagree again, if Adam uploads or not, there is a whole bunch of stuff out there that he cant hope to download in a lifetime. Even if you are "member" of a torrent site, you dont have to upload to download files once you finish your download you can continue to share (seed) the file to others (if you need to mantain your "up/down ratio"). Not everyone who downloads uploads new files.. Like I said above, the actual motivation for Adam to upload a new file can feed a whole new looongg thread...so I wont even go there. Cheers!

Re: [PHP] Pirate PHP books online?
However, don't be under any illusion that the pirates are good-hearted philanthropists taking from the rich and giving to the poor. The best known pirate site sells advertising - a small banner reportedly costs $5,000 a month, and a larger one $10,000 a month. Actually, most pirates ARE taking from the rich and giving to the poor (or the ones who make the excuses for not buying or unable to buy as in this situatation)... its the site owners who _help_ in the piracy that make money. Let me give you an example, "Adam" buys your book/cd/ or a video, "rips" it into digital format and uploads it onto...say... thepiratebay (since thats where you found your book's links) Adam does not make a cent by doing so, and he is actually the _most_ important link in the chain, coz if he does not share... the site offering the .torrent links cant offer the book, hence no visitors, hence no advertising.. The torrent sites, in the excuse of bandwidth and maintainence charges either ask for "donations" or take up advertising... and in the case of the pirate bay, if you take a step back from the whole moral issues, it does make sense as they have hundreds of live torrents at any given time (and i am not taking about small size ebooks movies, DVDs, games... we are talking gigs per file..not mb anymore) even though the actual files are not going directly through their servers with over 3-4mil visitors _per day_ and tracking those hundreds of torrents and forums... thats gotto take substantial computing power and costs (*not that i am taking up for them*) In a sick sort of way, they are acting like your publisher except they are not giving the OP (Adam) a cent for "providing" the material. How many sites do you know of that have 3-4 mil visitors per day and does not ask for a huge pot of $$ for advertising? Another example: In India, China, Dubai and a whole host of other countries & cities, people download movies (posted by guys like Adam above) and then make illegal copies on CDs and DVDs etc and sell them cheap pretty much on the roads... here again the people who originally posted the stuff dont get a cent...the ones who make the CDs are the ones who make the money. Just wanted to clear up the misconception that the main people who start copying (RIAA/MPAA slang "pirates") are making money. So the real rogues... or pirates... are the siteowners, but when the site itself is named "thepiratebay" its not exactly like they dont already know it. Cheers!

Re: [PHP] Pirate PHP books online?
Hey, Sorry your work was stolen but dont hold your breath waiting for that site to close down. I have no idea who your publishers are but I _reay_ doubt they have more clout than M$, the MPAA, RIAA, SONY, Pixar etc coz they went after thepiratebay and looked like fools: http://thepiratebay.org/legal I *DONT* wish to sound mean but the fact is, your work is going to continue to be stolen and other than complain, theres little you can do about it...so try to ignore it and dont let something like this stop you from writing again as i am sure there are many people out there that would rather get their copy via legal means, enough to support you anyway. HTH. Cheers! R David Powers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Crayon Shin Chan wrote: > What makes you think any of the authors are subscribed to this list? I am subscribed to this list, and I'm disgusted that somebody posted the URL to the pirate site.

Although eBooks are cheaper than the printed version, the royalties to an author are much higher (no printing, storage, or delivery costs). I'm not starving, but the loss in revenue is far from trivial, and reduces the incentive to continue to write. I have reported the site to my publisher.

[PHP] shuffle or mt_rand
Hey,
Have a quick question about which is better to get real random values, shuffle
or mt_rand.
I am trying to shuffle a deck of cards and reading another thread I saw that
after a couple of thousand random generations patterns have been observed using
rand()... so its better to use mt_rand().
After i wrote a function (copied below) to get real random cards from a 52
deck, Tijnema from the list kindly sent me a piece of code thats
simpler/faster/should or would use less processing and does exactly what my
function does except it uses shuffle()...
Any idea which would be better to constantly generate proper random numbers for
a long period of time?
= My original code with mt_rand()
function load_cards($no_of_players)
{
$i=0;
$cards=array();
while($i<1)
{
if(empty($cards[0]))
{
$cards[]=mt_rand(1,52);
}
else
{
$no_of_cards_already_in_array=count($cards);
$cards_to_be_dealt=$no_of_players * 2;
$cards_to_be_dealt=$cards_to_be_dealt + 5;
if($no_of_cards_already_in_array < $cards_to_be_dealt)
{
$new_generated_card=mt_rand(1,52);
if(!in_array($new_generated_card,$cards))
{
$cards[]=$new_generated_card;
}
}else
{
// end the loop
$i=2;
break; // just in case the above does not break outa the loop.
}
}
}
return $cards;
}
== Contributed code ===
// only generating 5 numbers here
$deck=array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52);
shuffle($deck);
for($i=0; $i<5; $i++)
{
$card = array_pop($deck);

if you want to port the java code to php it wouldnt be very difficult since
this code doesnt rely heavily on much besides core language constructs.
really you could just save it as a php file and start making changes where
needed; it wouldnt take too long to port.
as for the compilation issue i took a look at this myself and discovered
some broken logic in the flush method.
for (int i=0; i= 0 && sorted[i] <= 12) suitA++;
else if (sorted[i] >= 13 && sorted[i] <= 25) suit
i converted this to
for (int i=0; i < fv.length; i++) {
if(i >= 0 && sorted[i] <= 12) suitA++;
though im not sure if that is correct (spent about 5 minutes on it) a quick
guess tells me it should be.
The HandRanker class is dependent upon another proprietary class
HandRankwhich is burried in a link (not in blue text) on the page you
provided us.
There are actually links in the statement.
This HandRanker
class is used to
calculate the rank of a poker hand. It uses the
HandRank class to
store the rank of the poker hand.
So if you just make 2 files
HandRanker.java
HandRank.java
Place the respective class definitions in those files (put them in the same
directory for simplicity).
Apply the patch i provided above to HandRanker.java (lines 123, 124)
then issue (at command prompt)
javac HandRanker.java
and you should have the compiled code :)

Re: [PHP] PHP P O K E R...... and JAVA (convert)
Hey all! So you expect PHP ppl to do your job and test a JAVA class to tell u if it's worth porting it to php? Nice thoughts... Andy... why be a moron? I just wanted someone with java knowledge to have a look at the code and see if it ran properly.. something that should take an experienced java person less than 5 minutes of their time. I have been on this list for years, and since i have not seen you very often until lately I will assume you have kind of recently joined... my point is, in the years that i have been on and off the list I have seen time and again people willing to help by sparing few minutes (heck in some instances even a few hours trying to help newbies)... if you dont want to help, dont reply to the thread instead of acting like a moron. Tijnema, thanks for giving it a go... Sorry it didnt compile,with my limited (and old) rusty knowledge of java 1.1 i couldnt make out too much and i dont have any java server to run this on to check it. I pretty much left Java years back once i started using php I used to use servlets and JSPs back then. Actually, I'm only interested in the logic... it does present quite a challenge to find out the best hand (and second best etc) from 2 hole cards (into x players) and 5 community cards. I did create a little script to deal the cards (http://webbmatte.se/cards.php if you would like to see the code just tell me) next i would just like to print out which is the strongest etc. Any ideas or suggestions are most welcome.

[PHP] PHP P O K E R...... and JAVA (convert)
Hey all!
Was looking at trying some stuff with php and p oker (texas hold'em).
After searching the net for some clues as to how i can do this, i came accross
the class on the php classes site (but that codes to bruteforce-ish) so
continued looking and came accross some valuable suggestions on how to do
this... just as i was about to start i found a dude who wrote something like
this in Java... which works pretty good according to him ("tried and well
tested" to quote him)
Can someone with a java background mind testing his class? and then hopefully
help me convert his script to php?
The address to his java class:
http://www.greenbridge.net/index.php/p_handranker.php
What do you think?
Comments, suggestions and links are most welcome!
Cheers!

Hey Stut,
Thanks for replying.
Will be making two versions, one with a DB and one to work with the file for
the old school folks who dont want to convert their file and use "new fangled"
databases... some people its easier to just not argue or try to convince...
and however stupid someone's opinion is, they are still entitled to it...esp
when you are thinking of (maybe) selling a future product it does not make much
sense telling them they are stupid :-))
"If you *need* to stick to using the file, are you looking for a
particular username or just want to load the whole list?"
I'm looking to match a login (user:pass)... so I would need to load the whole
list right? or do you have an alternative idea? am totally open to suggestions
and alternatives at this point... just looking for the easiest way in terms of
server load and processing..which is why I am trying to avoid a for() or
while() loop.
Thanks!

My advice would be to swap to using a database. With that number of
users it's going to give you a huge boost in performance. SQLite would do.
If you *need* to stick to using the file, are you looking for a
particular username or just want to load the whole list?

[PHP] Quick question, a little 0T i guess... BASIC_AUTH or forms
Hey all! Quick question, one of our sites already uses BASIC_AUTH to take the username and pass from clients, we were thinking of instead doing it via a login form (so we can also add a CAPTCHA later...if needed) what I would like to know is, by using a login form instead of a BASIC_AUTH are we comprimising security in any way (for example if someone is using a "sniffer") or does BASIC_AUTH have some kind of extra inbuilt security that forms dont have that I am not aware of?

You don't need any Ajax here. All you need is to take the value entered into the js box and use normal javascript commands to store this value in a cookie. This cookie will be sent automatically to your PHP script the next time a user requests a page from your server. If you want to provide immediate visual feedback, you can use standard DOM methods to insert the users name into the page where you want.

The way it works is that you have a javascript ajax file, which is loaded by your main page and creates a request object.

If he thinks the Basic Auth popup is "icky" then go ahead and get rid
of it. No biggie.
There's no great advantage to Basic Auth, and, actually, having the
authentication done in PHP can be beneficial if you want to start
doing some custom logging and user profile modeling of logins.
It's certainly possible to get access to that, or to integrate that
after the HTTP Basic Auth has been done, but it can be "cleaner" code
to have it all as one conceptual mess in PHP, instead of a mess in
HTTP Auth Apache and another in PHP.

Not unless you send the headers out, either with PHP, or with
.htaccess (or httpd.conf) settings to do HTTP Basic Authentication

Not really.
$file = file_get_contents('/full/path/to/htpasswd');
preg_match_all('/(.*):(.*)$/msU', $file, $htpassd);
//play games with array_flip or array_slice here to get
//an associative array of $users['username'] = 'password';
//Your login check is then a simple array reference

Whether reading the file or the DB is faster depends totally and your
hardware and network topology between web server and db server, or
lack thereof.
Nothing anybody else can say on this matter has any real meaning.

// untested
if( ($fptr = fopen( '/tmp/mySavedArray.dat', 'wb' )) !== false )
{
fwrite( $fptr, serialize( $myArray ) );
fclose( $fptr );
}
?>
There's also file_put_contents() but I generally go with backward
compatible methods.
Thanks, will give it a go!

[PHP] Storing values in arrays
Hi, I think its easier to explain what I want to do.. so here goes: I want to store values in arrays for one minute and then write them to file. For example, everytime someone logs in I want their username to be in an array 1 or 100 or X people may login in 60 seconds...but it should only write all the usernames that logged in to disk every 1 minute. Ideas? suggestions? starting points or a link to a specific spot in the manual with a RTFM would be appreciated :) Thanks in advance, Ryan -- - The faulty interface lies between the chair and the keyboard. - Creativity is great, but plagiarism is faster! - Smile, everyone loves a moron. :-) - It's here!

Re: [PHP] Running AMP from CD
Hey Rich, To be honest I thought of using WGET and if I remember correctly it was suggested in the original old thread... but once i started reading up on wget, the damn thing has so many switches I got lost and gave up hope pretty soon. Another thing that I am not sure if WGET will handle soo well is... there are quite a few javascript popups on each page (basically icons on the side, when clicked open a JS popup with the content of the main page in a different language for example: the main page is in Swedish, when you click the language icon on the side it opens a popup with the same content in Arabic or Spanish) but these popups are calling php scripts with something like this: get_popup_content.php?content_id=2354 But if you think this is the best solution, I am willing to start reading up on WGET again to see if this time I get the hang of it.. Thanks! Ryan Richard Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Another option might be to use something like wget or htdig to just rip through the whole site and generate a static site out of it...

[PHP] Freelance php project... clone a website's functionality [0T]
Hey all, Most of you have seen me long enough on this list and helped me more times than I want to remember to know that this is not a spam email, that said... A project has dropped into my lap to clone a site's functionality... rather than post it on the many freelance job sites as I dont have time to do this myself (and not sure about the skill either...even though i know i can come here for help if I hit a brick wall in the middle of the project) thought I would give it a shot here first. I'll just skim the details so most of you will know if you're interested in a few seconds and can write back to me for details (offlist, we dont want to offend anyone :) ) === Budget: around $800 USD Skills needed: === PHP 4 (NOT 5) MySql Smarty (No designing needed, we'll get the designs later and "connect" them) (This will be running on a Linux server so a little understanding/experience here would be a bonus but its not a requirment.) Understanding the httpd.conf file of apache and (IMPORTANT) URL rewriting via directives in that file Understanding PERL (as theres one client script that has to be in PERL...already created) If you're serious about freelancing for a project please reply, I ask the "simply curious" to kindly ignore this post.

Don't send the correct answer to the browser at all.
And don't tie the "ABCD" to the correct answer.
$question[47] = "Which animal flies around at night and sleeps in
the day?"
$answer[13] = 'cat';
$answer[14] = 'dog';
$answer[15] = 'trout';
$answer[16] = 'bat';
$correct[47] = 'bat';
?>
Your HTML could look like this:
A [input] cat
B [input] dog
C [input] trout
D [input] bat
To test if the answer is correct:
$q = $_REQUEST['q'];
foreach($q as $index => $a){
if ($correct[$index] == $a) echo "CORRECT";
else echo "INCORRECT: Correct is $correct[$index]";
echo "
\n";
}
You could also use the index to $answer as the value with:
$correct[47] = 16;
[input] bat
if ($correct[$index] == $a){
and all the other code the same.

[PHP] Testing people
Hey all, this is a two part question but I need just one solution: 1. Can you recommend a good testing software where the choices are multiple choice (cross a button or radio button) if nothing great out there... will make this myself so, on to point 2: 2. I have noticed if you are displaying 4 (a-d) choices and the answer for question 10 (for example) is always on choice B it kind of sticks in the head and students dont really read everything they just memorize the location of the answer (maybe unconsciously) and click that.. i have an idea of making the answers "jump around" for example: once the correct answer for question 10 is B, if you reload the page, it would be C, reload again and its A (chosen randomly...) (real) example 2: What has two legs: a: an elephant b: a dog c: a bird d: a cat C is the correct answer of course... but if you reload the page: a: a bird b: an elephant c: a dog d: a cat now A is the correct answer. I thought of having a hidden text box everytime for each question... but that can be quite easily found out... any other suggestions? Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Wallet based shopping cart
Hi, I am looking for a shopping cart/member script that will allow members of a site to purchase credits and then spend their credits on my site. I have trawled for hours but can't seem to find one anywhere. :-$ Anyone got any ideas??? Frustrated and wanting to move forward!! Hey! I have not heard of such a script, sounds kind of specialized, guessing you would have to make this mate... shouldnt be _very_ hard to do thought. -- - The faulty interface lies between the chair and the keyboard. - Creativity is great, but plagiarism is faster! - Smile, everyone loves a moron. :-) - Get your email and more, right on the new Yahoo.com

Thanks for replying.

The point being that you get the 5 things that are MOST purchased in other orders with this same product.

This is possibly great for "e-commerce" but might not be the ideal. **// Volume of sales would be *no where close*, to even mention the site this will be used on and Amazon in the same sentance would be a sin, and grounds to be struck down from above. I do have another part/block below the product that suggests accessories. This is for a site that sells R/C helicopters online, i have seen two other sites that sell the same products and from my experience this "customers who" feature seems to work pretty well to squeeze in a little more (maybe 1 or two items) into the order.I think any edge for a startup is a good thing..no matter how small. //** I *much* prefer the CDBaby approach where somebody listens to the CD and then recommends artists they think are complementary. :-) **// You dont suggest I have both?

[PHP] People who bought this also bought (amazon style) functionality...logic problem
Hey all, I want to write a "module" for xcart (a commercial 'shopping cart') which would be like what Amazon.com offers when you go to shop on their site... when you click on a product to see its details you get a little box below that recommends more products based on what others have purchased eg: If you click on a toy helicopter it would recommend extra rotor blades,landing gear etc eg 2: If you click on Eminem's latest album it would show you his other two albums that people bought with this album etc I'm trying to work out the logic to do this... and quite frankly have hit a brick wall. So far: --- I was thinking when someone (Joe) purchases X with product id Y I would put that in a seperate table, then when someone (Jane) else comes looking at item Y I would display everything that Joe bought... but then it gets a little complicated, if Jane buys Y and other stuff that Joe didnt buy... how do I merge what Joe and Jane bought to display to the next visitor? (I can only dispaly 5 recommendations at once) I would appreciate any tips/advise and code you can give me, would be fantastic of course if you have worked with xcart or have already done this. (shameless plug) I think this was one of the suggested features of Dan's open source PHPCart (http://code.google.com/p/phpcart) unfortunatly I dont have the OO skill to take part in that project and no time either as we need a cart immd. Note: I dont get anything for recommending the above cart (or xcart for that matter) but if you are interested in joining a free os cart project, you might want to think of looking into the above.

Yeah, i guess thats also an idea, will look into it. Will also need to look into the logic of calculating shipping, something that I have never done in the past.

Re: [PHP] Shopping cart
It really looks like I will have to write this myself :( I know it will be good for experience but like someone else has pointed out, I would rather work with someone elses code for the payment parts knowing that it has been totally debugged than getting screwed later on because I missed assigning a value to a variable... Still searching though, tested OSC,ZenCart, Xcart,FishCart, now on to phpshop... Drupal seems good, but kinda large with all the modules out there... a bit intimidating, will keep that as a "reserve check" I think this is the reason why there are so many "carts " out there people just get pissed seaching for a simple one which they can use their _own_ page design, and dont find it... then they write one for themselves, see it works very well, decide to go commercial... get requests to add "just one more thing" and screw it up like all the others..!

[PHP] Shopping cart
Hey, I have been long enough on this list to know this shopping cart question comes up real often and irritates a lot of folks, but sorry, I have checked google and hotscripts and it has come down to a recommendation from YOU guys as they are SO many options out there with each cart most of which i will never need. Feel free to mention commercial products as I have been looking at them too, but if i go in for a commercial solution I will have to cut somewhere else as this is for myself and i'm starting out...budgets low and am trying to do everything myself, but dont have time to make this myself. Will be selling spare parts. I dont want a cart to do a million things, just around 10 :) 1. Admin panel where i enter quantity and it keeps track of inventry 2. Should be *fast* (php+mysql solution) 3.Intergrate with paypal+2checkout anything more is a bonus 4. Easy to "template" 5. Calculates shipping (not vital, but bonus if it does) 6. Should be able to give discounts based on price and accept discount codes. 7. Should offer the "customers who bought this also bought" feature 8. Easy to maintain OSC is the first cart that comes to mind, followed by Zen, xcart (xcart out of my budget though) Am leaning towards OSC for the price but its got an overload of bulk and speed problems... Please recommend, even a link to any site and a "go to that f***ing site" (the = of a "RTFM") would be appreciated. Thanks!

RE: [PHP] Dhtml/javasript layer tips or software (0.T)
Hey Rob, > As it were though, an Ajax solution is more involved > and his request > didn't seem to indicate a need for it so I went with > KISS :) The simple solution is exactly what i needed, it may not have a lot of bells and whistles but thats the whole point. Easy to add and update. No points/scores to keep track of so no was AJAX needed. I didnt mind going in for a commerical solution as they tend to have a better "GUI output" (for example look at the dhtml popup softwares... a whole lot of options ready for you with a single click, things that would take you hours if not days to do by hand coding), I am still interested if I can find something like that otherwise your solution is perfect alternative. Just need to figure out how to change the cells background color when the hint is shown and change it back when the hint is hidden again. Thanks!

No db, this page would be generated via a DB query but the answers have to already be on the local page and accessable to the JS, I dont want to complicate matters using AJAX either > Also, would pop-ups? work -- I know you said you > wanted data to the > side or below, but that requires a refresh of some > type (ajax). Nope, I have little choice in the matter, this has already been decided to have to show up in cell at the side or bottom, no popups as this window itself will be a popup. > You might also look into "tool-tips" via css -- I > think that would work.

Re: [PHP] Dhtml/javasript layer tips or software (0.T)
Hey Ray/Tedd, Thanks for replying guys. Ray, Checked out the Y! library, not really to my needs and I really doubt I need a whole library to do this. Tedd, > Ryan: > > You said: > > ... willing to pay. > > Music to my ears. > Happy to have helped ;D > This does not do what you want, but I am sure it can > be modified to do so. > > http://www.webbytedd.com/c1/ > Problem is, it didnt work in FF, I checked in IE and there was no problem. What I need is real simple, possible just a DIV tag as Ray pointed out, but with a little functionality to close/show the hints and suggestions.. and should look decent. The reason I dont mind going in for a commerical solution is they tend to have some better display options and the code is totally generated, new question new code generated, simple as that. When things go wrong its a b1t*h to debug of course! Thanks!

[PHP] Dhtml/javasript layer tips or software (0.T)
Hello, I am working on a php project that needs a little extra JS/DHTML solution. I am sure some of you might have come to use something like this before, please recommend a solution (commerial solutions are fine / willing to pay) Basically, I will have a page with around 10 questions for students and then two buttons for [HINT] and [SOLUTION] When either of these buttons/text is clicked the resulting text should be displayed in the side/bottom cell, the user should also be able to 'close' this resulting explanation. Note, on each page there will be around 10 questions, so each of these questions will have a hint & solution button/text. Thanks in advance, Ryan -- - The faulty interface lies between the chair and the keyboard. - Creativity is great, but plagiarism is faster! - Smile, everyone loves a moron. :-) __ Do You Yahoo!?

I am subscribed for PHP, if I want two different versions of "todays news" I can go to Al-Jazeera or one of the western news sites. -Ryan -- - The faulty interface lies between the chair and the keyboard. - Creativity is great, but plagiarism is faster! - Smile, everyone loves a moron. :-) __ Do You Yahoo!?

Sorry, I guess i was not clear on that. Its just one connection, I meant 15-20 queries not connections. Thanks!
