• Php image upload help required

I'm new enough to php coding and I'm trying to build a basic php driven template site from which I can take code snippets for other projects/sites. This template site will have all of the most basic dynamic functions including: * Membership * Login * Profile Update * Add, Delete, Update Product * Show items from database * etc.. I've managed most of this already but 1 small thing has got the better of me - image upload. I wish to include an image upload field in both my existing signup and profile update forms which grabs an image off the pc and stores it in the database then shows it in the profile. Anybody any ideas or code snippets - I specifically need a form with image upload included and not just an image upload script as I wouldn't know how to add that to my form?

• Blue Dragon Server - free cold fusion

I really wasn't sure where to put this - sorry if I got it wrong. I was playing with this last night, and it looks interesting. Has anybody tried it? If I was to invest time in it, would I be able to deploy my cold fusion apps to a regular cold fusion host without problems? I'm also wondering what extra value I would be getting from Adobe if I forked over for their software (they've already fleeced me for CS3 Web premium). Are their any people on with PHP and coldfusion experience? I would like to hear your thoughts.

• Multi-Language Site

I'm about to start work on a new project of mine and i want to build in the future functionality of multiple languages. The way i have it in my head is that i would have a select field on every page with the different menu options and using AJAX, when a user changes the language on any page the new language will follow the user throughout the site until changed again. Example: The index.php page has a default of English so it loads with the en.php file which holds all site variables in English. Once the language has been changed the the session variable that was set to en.php by default will change to the new language French by putting the fr.php into the language session variable. The problem is how do i refresh the page without reloading it completely. The reason being i cant see a way that the AJAX can reload all the page variables or am i wrong. If i enclosed the whole site in a span would it refresh upon a new language being selected? Any help appreciated as always.

• MySQL

I have downloaded and installed MySQL 6 for use with PHP, I have been advised to configure MySQL with no root u/n or p/w, instead, that I should locate the file "my.ini" in the MySQL directory, open it in Notepad and scroll down to the end, new line, and type "old-passwords". However, when I try to save this then (using Vista), I get the message: Cannot create the file C://Program Files/.....my.ini file. Make sure the path and the file name are correct. Can anyone help me with this?

• Newbie PHP question

ok..im not usually this stupid :D but what exactly do I need to download on Apaches site Download - The Apache HTTP Server Project (http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi) To be honest I think it's a very badly structured website for newbies to PHP such as myself. I just need to know which files I must download.... and I thought PHP.net was a tad bit confusing, this site takes the biscuit!! Oh, and how do I find out if my system is windows or windows x 64?

• CSS Mistakes-CSS Articles-CSS Faqs

CSS which stands for Cascading Style Sheets is a style sheet language that describes and alters certain attributes like colors, fonts, layouts and other aspects of the elements that are viewed on a web page. It is used to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML. Before getting acquainted with a particular thing, many questions come into the mind. The same thing happens with cascading style sheets also. People can get convenient answers to their queries on css-faq.com. With CSS, you will be able to write the codes regarding the appearance of your pages in a single file. You don’t have to modify over and over again. The repetition of tasks is eliminated in using this language. You can also replace tags throughout your entire page if you want to change it anytime in one file. You can edit the looks of your site just by simply modifying your separate CSS file. You need not to go through all your existing pages to change everything. You only need to touch the style codes of your style sheet file. Much effort and time is reduced with this language. You can have your pages load faster than before. It is possible since the file is not filled with long tags. Styles are defined and kept in another CSS document that can be linked and loaded only once every time somebody visits your site. Designers will be able to set font styles, font sizes and other properties just like setting them in your word processors. You can get the most accuracy you can desire. You are also not limited to just the seven font sizes set in HTML. You can do as much as layout and defining in CSS with regards to fonts and font sizes. The CSS syntax uses English words. Thus, it is very simple and easy to understand. The English keywords are used to refer to style properties of CSS. A style sheet is a set of rules. Each rule has one or more selectors and a block of declaration. You can get a lot of benefits in using cascading style sheets. There is vast information in the websites like css-faq.com. The only thing you need to do is to help yourself. For more details please visit us at CSS-FAQ (http://www.css-faq.com/)

• Xslt Xml & Xhtml

Ok so I am working on a project at work that involves XSLT. I struggling through it here as I have very little knowledge on it. I would like to know of any good resources for learning this technology or any good books one can recommend. I hate books that talk on a very technical level. Rather ones that explain in simplistic terms, what it does, what I can achieve and where its best applied. I know of a CMS called Symphony that uses this technology in its templating system, but I am unsure why its so powerful as opposed to normal CSS / XHTML? My understanding so far is that if you have data in XML form you can transform it into XHTML through XSLT. I think it also seperates some of the programming logic from the display layer. Any clarification would be appreciated. Cheers,
