Try searching this site for the software to do what you want. http://php.resourceindex.com/ or http://www.hotscripts.com/ Youll need to be able to ftp the packets into place and likely need hosting that supports both PHP and MYSQL. Most are free and fully functioning stand alone PHP scripts if you want to link them you might need to read up some at http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp Best of luck.

Is there a software interface that I can add to website to upload files from any PC without FTP?
I want to upload files from any PC to my web site host without using a FTP interface. I was wondering if there was a program or something that I can add to a web page that will allow me to upload or download files to a designated folder. This would be similar to the companies that charge you to use them for storage. Seems that since I already pay for a large amount of space I could use it the same way and share it with my friends and family.

What are all the tools I will need to produce quality podcasts. Please let me know from computer to software.
Should I get a MAC or PC? Will a laptop do? What about microphones and where do I go to get hosted. Who knows about these things? Please share what you know. Thank you in advance.

You can get all the answers at the Yahoo Podcasts site: http://podcasts.yahoo.com/publish It tells you everything you need to know to publish your own podcast.

Yahoo web hosting?
I noticed that Yahoo web hosting really improved and they offer unlimited space. This raises naturally a quetion "can I use it for my personal files backup?" Please note I do NOT want to share it with anybody, I really want to backup 250GB of my photos, video and music I legally own (again, this is not about any file sharing but personal backup). You might answer YES, this is easy and you can use any FTP software to simplify it. Well, I'm little bit affraid that Yahoo scans sites and can easily suspend my site because it will have AVI, MP3, ... and other files which can look like illegal or/and files I want to share. Does anybody use Yahoo Hosting or another web host for this type of personal backup?

Yahoo is of course a big name, but they're not the most reputable company when it comes to web hosting (and they're on the expensive side). I use HostGator and it's very fast and reliable.

What are the best ways to block all advertising and spyware?
I know about software and firewall solutions, I am more interested in settings and configuration (for example: altering host files, using block lists, blocking scripts and spyware, etc. ) Please share your experiences and wisdom.

You can have great anti-virus. You can have great anti-spyware. You can have great anti-spam software. You can have a great Firewall. But without a brain, you'd be just like the scarecrow. Your brain is your best defense. Avoid bad websites and e-mail. Close bad websites immediately. Use FireFox to browse safer. Run your Anti-virus and Anti-spyware scans regularly. Keep these tools updated. Good luck and Happy Computing!

Software based personal VPN solution needed.?
Anyone know of a good software package (I don't want to buy expensive hardware) that allows for personal VPN over the internet? My basic need is this... Share a folder on one computer with another one over the internet so I can easily drag/drop files between two computers. I've tried sites that will temporarily host such files but I don't like that solution for this task. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you tried using FTP? This is what it was made for, moving files.

Poker software wont connect to internet/server?
Hello. I play poker online, and recently I can no longer sign on to my accounts at the various poker rooms I have accounts with. The software loads, but then it tries to connect and never does. For example, on Party Poker, the setting up connection dialog pops up, but it never will connect, even though the host has a 100% network status. I am confused, because this happens with all the poker software I have now (Pokerroom.com, Party, and Full Tilt). I have another computer in my house that shares the same internet connection, and I have no problems signing on with that computer, but for some reason my laptop will not sign on. I really need some help here. Thanks.

The first place to look is your firewall and internet connection settings. The major rooms often also have tech support people who will help you out. Party and Stars both have phone numbers I think, and stopping by a local computer store with the laptop and asking someone to take a quick look and see if they can answer your question will probably help as well.

I need user friendly shopping cart software for items that would be shipped & I am not a programmer. Any help?
The shopping cart will be linked to a website for a physical store - both of which are already in place. I'm not a programmer, but not a dummy either. Does anyone have suggestions? Something that will work with paypal, usps, UPS. Do any of the administrative ends of these help manage inventory? Also, I am concerned about security and bugs in whatever software I use (again, I'm not a programmer so wouldn't know how to code my way out of any of that). It doesn't have to be free, but inexpensive would be good. Thought about eBay and Yahoo shopping, but the costs are prohibitive there for just starting out. It can be PHP or CGI. I've read a lot on here about OScommerce & ZenCart, but both also have responses saying that they would be difficult to use for the non-programming type. Please share whatever insight you might have. This is new for me and I'm grateful for any gems I can get. Hosting recommendations are appreciated too. Thanks!

osCommerce is not difficult to use - the admin section is laid out quite OK, and there is a "sexy admin" contribution that is free of charge which makes it even easier. It's difficult to make a store look really fantastic - but there are some really great exceptional looking oscommerce sites out there. My suggestion is for you to install osCommerce and have a play with it, it is free after all, so the only cost is your time. If you are happy with it, then stick with it, and maybe either learn how to make it look nice or buy a template (there are loads of decent ones available). You can see some really exceptional osCommerce sites at http://www.clubosc.com/hot100/ which will give you an idea of just what is possible. Cheers, Gary
