How to add a floating picture on a webpage?
I want one like the one on this page: http://www.singhost.net/singapore-shared-hosting.php at the bottom right u can see an image saying Website Powered By SINGHOST.NET I want a picture like that. How may i do it? I can use HTML, PHP CSS or whatever. Just tell me how to

I checked the HTML and CSS code of the site, and here's what they did. First, in the CSS file, they defined a style (starting at the line beginning with ".main_table") that includes the following specifications: background: url(../img/singhost1.gif) no-repeat bottom right; background-attachment: fixed; (see below) and they uploaded the singhost1.gif, which is what appears in the lower right-hand corner of the page. Then, in their HTML, they defined a table that contains most of the content on the page, and they gave the table this attribute: class="main_table" If you use View Source, you can read the files for yourself to check it out. Anyway, if you define a style like that and code your page that way, that will do what you want. Their style includes a lot of other attributes, some of which you may or may not need to use as well: .main_table { margin: 0; padding: 0; background: url(../img/singhost1.gif) no-repeat bottom right; font-family : "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-attachment: fixed; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

PHP session problems on shared servers?
Hello, I have built a few websites now with PHP sessions. They always work fine on my computer when I test them, but I always have many problems with users. Most of the solutions that I find online all recommend that I modify the php.ini file which I can’t do because these sites are on shared hosting accounts. Here are the main problems... Proxy Servers - When people are in a corporate environment and have their security cranked up or are behind proxy servers none of the session variables work. This ruins everything from the shopping cart even to the login. I have looked at my script over and over and it seems basic and works on all the computers I test so I don't think that's the issue. Cookies - The only time I have problems are if I disable cookies. I that cookies aren't even used on the users computer, only the server? That confuses me even more. I tried a script that saves session data to a SQL database? How do sites like Amazon deal with sessions? Even people with cookies enabled still have problems. What about passing the session ID through a URL? I hear that its not a good idea for security reasons, and don't you have to pass it every page?

I don't know about the proxy settings, but cookies are stored on the user's PC. All the cookie has to store is the sessionid, but that is critical because that is how it connects the user to the session. There will be a file stored the server that contains all of the session information. So a user must use cookies, or they won't be able to use sessions.

How hard is it to install PHP on my laptop?
I want to test my PHP code before putting it up on the server. It's a shared hosting account so I don't want to adversely affect the other webs on it. I have Vista on my laptop and I just want to try some code locally before I upload. I could set up a dedicated L.A.M.P. machine, but I wanted to stay portable. Any suggestions?

First, avoid the bundles like WAMP and XAMP. You'll want to learn to configure PHP and any associated server software by hand if possible. Or at least, download the MSI installers. In addition to PHP, you'll want Apache if you're testing web pages, and MySQL if you're doing anything at all dynamic that needs to store data. Also, you'll want to try and download versions that match the shared host as closely as possible... though that may be difficult if your host is still on PHP 4.x as that's not available in a complied form anymore. My recommended install sequence... 1) http://httpd.apache.org/ 2) http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html#downloads 3) http://www.php.net/downloads.php Depending on what type of development you're doing, you might also want to look at ActiveState Komodo Edit... it's free, and one of the best editors for PHP (and Python, and SQL, and XML, and on and on) that I've seen out there... http://www.activestate.com/Products/komodo_edit/

I want to spend $5/month, $60/year, shared hosting w/5 domains, to run wordpress. Who would you recommend?
I've found various hosts, but what I am really looking for is actual successful experiences people have had with good hosting companies in this price range. Ideally I'd like more domains, but the main criteria is being able to support a full blown wordpress.org php install.

Please find links and banners of three webhosts on this site. http://www.djabid.com I am using dot5hosting and it has wordpress. Quite satisfied with this hosting. More value hosting is of hostmonster with good customer support. Decision is urs. but as i told u, i m using dot5 and it has wordpress. hope it helps. cheers

Having trouble getting my PHP - MySQL SELECT FROM working with a variable?
I'm first setting the variable (in practice): $str='josh19'; I'm then trying to select data from the database, and this works fine: $query="SELECT `lastname`, `firstname` FROM `customers` WHERE `username`='josh19'"; Works great. But of course I need to use a variable instead of writing the name directly in there. So, $query="SELECT `lastname`, `firstname` FROM `customers` WHERE `username`='$str'"; That doesn't work. I've tried searching on several sites and it seems a lot of people have the same problem, but their fix never seems to work, no matter how I type the quotes. I've tried concatenating with a period and double quotes, I've tried adding slashes... nothing works. WHAT DO I DO???? MySQL 4.1, PHP 5, Linux (shared hosting) When I say it doesn't work, it has nothing to do with the MySQL. When I tried echoing $query, it returns as if the variable was null: The result of echo $query; looks like this: $query="SELECT `lastname`, `firstname` FROM `customers` WHERE `username`='' So the PHP completely ignores the variable. None of these are fixing the problem of the PHP ignoring the variable. I've tried them all.

$query="SELECT `lastname`, `firstname` FROM `customers` WHERE `username`='josh19'"; $query="Select 'lastname','firstname' FROM 'costumers' WHERE username='$str'";

Help configuring PHP settings!?
Hey guys, I currently use a Linux Apache server with PHP running as CGI mode. It is a shared hosting provided by 1and1 and I am having lot of trouble turning Register Globals Off and Output Buffering On. Can someone help me change these settings? The eCommerce cart and CMS system I want to install views having Register Globals On as a threat to security. I tried to find the .htaccess because I remember someone once saying you can edit the PHP over ride there, but there isn't even one in the 1and1 package. I also heard about a php.ini file for shared hosts, but I have no knowledge of that. Thanks in advance for any help! - Jason

Output buffering allows you to send header lines (including cookies) even ; after you send body content, at the price of slowing PHP's output layer a ; bit. You can enable output buffering during runtime by calling the output ; buffering functions. You can also enable output buffering for all files by ; setting this directive to On. If you wish to limit the size of the buffer ; to a certain size - you can use a maximum number of bytes instead of 'On', as ; a value for this directive (e.g., output_buffering=4096). output_buffering = On try this link

Problems with PHP.ini and extensions?
Hi!I'm having a big problem with PHP. I'm on a shared hosting account, but I need to install a new extension called emsec.so. I've configured the php.ini of the directory like this: extension_dir = /home/USERNAME/public_html/NEWINCLUDEPATH extension=emsec.so And although emsec.so is indeed inside /home/USERNAME/public_html/NEWINCLUDEPATH, the functions from the library won't work, they're not recognized by PHP, am I doing anything wrong? How can I test the extension directory? Thank you very much!

Have you tried to restart the apache server (or stop and then start it)?
