I'm a bored software engineer. Anyone want any little web tool developed? Ask me, I just might do it.

• there's no way to scan it before you download, because to scan it, you need to download it.
  
  There are several virus scanners that will scan it for you before you OPEN or EXECUTE it, but scanning it before downloading it is an impossibility.

• When you write a 'void' function, that means that it returns nothing.
  
  you use 'void' as a return type when declaring a function. It means that you don't need a 'return' line. You would typically use it when you are affecting a change to data, but don't need confirmation that the change has occurred.
  
  Hope that helps

• depends on what you want to do. I've moved to ubuntu at home, at work, and two of my housemates have moved to it, too.
  
  I still have XP around for gaming, and a couple of other things, but my majority use is linux now. Even my girlfriend, who isn't particularly big on ocmputers prefers it now.

• I just don't like things that are unprofessionally designed.. unclean and unpolished.. (do you know any linux that is clean version?) Well, atleast windowns has something.. Even Mac is better than linux.

• Google docs is almost like that, except you do have to export the docs back to Excel.
  
  It is really nice, though, if you don't mind keeping them just on the web and maintaining them there.

• Yup, google docs already does this pretty damned well. Why mess with what works?

• Do you want to store the image in mysql?
  
  If so: you will need a 'blob' field, and some meta-data (image type, filename, size, etc.)
  
  You can use a HTML in a form to allow people to select an image:
  
  <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="wherever.php" method="post">
  <input type="file" name="image" />
  <input type="submit" value="upload" />
  </form>
  
  The PHP code to save to MySQL goes something like this:
  
  <?php
  $image = $_FILES['image'];
  if (is_uploaded_file($image['tmp_name']) {
  $filedata = file_get_contents($image['tmp_name']);
  $query="INSERT INTO `images` (`filename`,`filetype`,`filesize`,`filedata`) ";
  $query.="VALUES ('".mysql_real_escape_string($image['name'])."',";
  $query.="'".mysql_real_escape_string(substr($image['name'],strrpos('.',$image['name'])))."',";
  $query.=intval(filesize($image['tmp_name'])).",";
  $query.="'".mysql_real_escape_string($filedata)."')";
  mysql_query($query);
  //remove the file
  unlink($file['tmp_name']);
  }
  ?>

• I have windows ME. one can press F eight at the startup and get into the safe mode that has access to dos. isnt there some kind of utility you can throw together to make windows do it? why would my flash drive not want to copy write protected images?

  • Report
  

  by DudeLer 2 on February 22nd, 2009

• aah, then your problem is Windows Me.
  
  It was (is) a horrible (and outdated) operating system.
  
  It did block access to dos/command prompt.
  
  I'm not sure what it has against write protected images, but it's likely some security measure built into ME, in which case a utility wouldn't really be much help.

• I have no idea what you are talking about.
  
  If you want to replace text on a page that you OWN and RUN then it's possible in php with str_replace()
  
  If you want to do it in javascript it's a bit more complex, but there are a couple of ways to do it. The easiest is probably:
  
  document.body.innerHTML.split("old text").join("new text");
  
  Why you would want to do this eludes me, though.
  
  If you don't own the domain, however, you can pretty much forget it.

• Go to www.keepvid.com you can download the video as an flv or mp4
  then you can embed the video without needing a direct link to youtube.... It's been soo long since i've written the html to do that though but as I remember it should be pretty simple.

• Thank you. That's very helpful.
  AB, though, only allows video from Youtube, Google, Myspace, or Yahoo!
  I suppose I could put it back on YouTube and link it for however long it stays up.

  How about a simple stop-watch/timer app?

• Passwords should generally be hashed rather than encrypted, and should NEVER be stored as plain text.
  
  My favorite way of hashing a password in php is:
  
  $hashedpassword = md5(strrev(sha1($password)));
  
  You can then store and compare against the hashed password. The benefit of hashing passwords is that no-one (yourself included) can ever discover what the password is. It is also safer to insert into mysql (as the sha1 and the md5 will remove any dangerous characters).
  
  The disadvantage is that people cannot get their password back if they lose it. This is not always a disadvantage, either, as really a forgotten password should be changed. You can set up a small system to allow people to reset their password, rather than reminding them of their password.
  
  If would like extra help, PM me (if that's possible in answerbag, and if not let me know in comments, and I'll find a way to let you contact me) and I'll be happy to help you out.

• you could hard-code that with something like:
  
  <?php
  // get an integer representation of the current day
  // 86400 is 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours = 1 day
  $today = round(time()/86400);
  
  // modulus for the number of pages to switch through
  $switch = $today % 4;
  
  // now check the switch: 0-3 are the possible values
  switch ($switch) {
  case 0:
  include('toyota.php');
  break;
  case 1:
  include('honda.php');
  break;
  case 2:
  include('subaru.php');
  break;
  case 3:
  include('hyundai.php');
  break;
  }
  ?>
  
  this isn't the world's most elegant solution, but it'll work fine. At least it's more elegant than listing specific dates.
