  • Major Problem (MAMP/MySQL) - Help??

    if /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -u root worked without entering your password, that means you never set a password for root (by default, the password is blank). Besides, if you're already logged in (you already have a mysql> pr…

  • Large text files

    When you say "text file," do you actually mean "text"? You say formatting is important, which leads me to suspect your files may be rich text or other document formats (like .doc, etc.).

  • Major Problem (MAMP/MySQL) - Help??

    xampp (the linux version of mamp) includes its own mysql, and doesn't add anything to the path (so you can't use the command without a path). try using the path to mamp's mysql (I am guessing that it is something like /Applications/M…

  • .htaccess error

    yes, there should be a single space. Also, you don't need two rules: just make the trailing slash optional. RewriteRule ^([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+/?)$ profile.php?u=$1

  • Create a condition between SAVE and SAVE&PUBLISH

    @ajnoguerra no problem. If you're not too far along, I really would encourage you to switch to the mysqli extension. It is designed with an object-oriented interface, but it also has functions for procedural coding that are very similar to t…

  • Create a condition between SAVE and SAVE&PUBLISH

    I'd recommend changing your form to give "Save" and "Save & Publish" the same name (with different values, of course), so you don't have to have separate checks for them. See the code I originally posted for an ex…

  • Create a condition between SAVE and SAVE&PUBLISH

    The most straightforward approach would be to use the value of the submit button (I'm assuming "Save" and "Save & Publish" are the submit buttons) to decide whether or not to toggle the publish field. . // . …

  • Nice and Simple Contact form error

    Don't know, then. The message you gave isn't coming from your script. It sounds like a 404 (not found) message.

    @anirudhvr I'll take a look, but I'm pretty busy with another project ATM. For now, I'd suggest (at a minimum) changing mail('mail@gee-mail.com', 'subjectir' , $body); ...to something like mail('mail@…

    How big are the writes you're making? Can you break it into smaller chunks and gc between loops?

  • Should I use this script or write my own

    It looks promising. There are no email headers set in the mail() function; you'll need to add them. Have you tried it?

  • PHP contact page doesn't work

    The code is being parsed (as evidenced by your error messages), so they do support PHP. Do they not support the mail() function?

  • Fatal error: Out of memory

    Everything here is great advice. You can also use gc_collect_cycles() to make PHP clean up after itself more often. It might be helpful for you to call that at the beginning of each loop. But CrocoDillon is right about that code - there's a…

  • What is JSON? And should I be using it?

    JSON is just a text serialization of javascript object literals. They can contain only data, however (key:value pairs; not functions). Observe: // javascript object literal { key1: 'some value' , key2: true } // JSON representati…

    two things: If you copied/pasted that directly from my post, you're going to need to do a little fixing. Here on css-tricks, I have to indent the code to make it display in a code block. HOWEVER, a "real" heredoc must have NO chara…
