Hello. I would really love to learn the Output Buffering in PHP and "Advanced Error Handling: Writing an Error Handling Class". I would love a very well-explained tutorial about those. Please help me.

Also, I saw the registration page in IPB. I explored the source code and i saw "<fieldset>" tag. So, please help me to improve my forms html knowledge. Do you know any generators like PHPFormGen? Do you still know more? I also need some guide or free graphics like the one used in IPB, if you see on the top, the blue gradient thing. Oh yeah, I am creating my own shoutbox, if you want i can give you the source code and criticize it. anyways, here's a demo http://www.karlo.ph.tc

Oh yeah, I downloaded the Extended HTML Help Manual of PHP. Now I need MySQL downloadable documentation, like the PHP Manual, with search functions, etc... Because I develop my websites offline and I use Apache 1.3 on Windows ME for debugging. But Apache 1.3 always has errors in Windows ME. And I don't like Apache 2.0 and above. What web server can you recommend? I hate Abyss.

And I have this shoutbox script, i would like a script that will remove exccess lines from posts. Especially if there's a more than 3 lines, i would like to make it 2 lines or even 1 line only.

Here's my shoutbox script http://www.karlo.ph.tc

If you would like to check out the admin area, PM me and i will give you the password but please do not distribute it.

Please criticize my script.

Also, I would like to have custom error pages in apache and in my hosting account at trap17. Is there a template for error pages?

Again, also, I would like to create a signature that will show the visitor's ip address, etc, something like whatpulse can do.

karlo, welcome to the forum.

I really wish I could help you but you are much more knowledgable about PHP than I am. What I can tell you is that there is someone here that should be able to help you. mastercomputers seems to be the most knowledgable PHP scripter here. He has answered many questions for me.

As for error pages, your Trap17 cPanel should have a Custom Error Pages button under Site Management Tools.

This is a basic error page creator. There is more information about environmental variables at http://www.apache.org/ .

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much. Can you please PM mastercomputers for me? Anyways, OpaQue told me that he would really love it if I post here, so, here I am. I love the interface of astahost! And I love the way members, like you, answer questions! So, detailed!

i believe you can use the trim() function to remove excess lines from a message.

I used split, foreach() i really need help.... download my kshoutbox code from http://ksoftware.sourceforge.net please...

I can assist you with MySQL.

It's all rather easy, search google for a MySQL tutorial and it will give you you all you need. I would do one, but they're tedius to write.

As for searching however, most tutorials will tell yuo to do "... LIKE (%whatever%)... But that isn't any good as I found out lol. The best way to do is use a Fulltext Search and on the MySQL website, there is a step by step walk through. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/fulltext-search.html

I hope this helps

I've just looked over your code Karlo,

Sorry I didn't come here sooner.

There are a few noticable problems in your code, and a few annoyances, there's also a few features that I could suggest too as improvements.

I could write a tutorial on Output Buffering, but I tend to not use Output Buffering because of how it can really bog a server down.

I'll email you the fixes and the changelog, I've got kshoutbox 0.5 if you have a development or more recent version, then I should probably work on that instead of this one.

Since you're on sourceforge, if I don't have time to go through the script, I'll just send you a bug report, some problems are minor errors but there's some that really need attention, I didn't notice any other developers helping you in this project, you should try and seek many eyes to view your source, I know I won't pick up everything wrong with it, but I've only scanned over the first few lines and noticed these problems. They aren't as obvious as you would think either.

Cheers,


MC

It's ok..... Anyways, I haven't receive any e-mails from you... Can you please PM it? I get lazy when I look the code. Probably because I will really have scroll it down... Oh yeah, and I think Astahost has more professional members than Trap17.
