If you are working with a PNG, you should be able to open it up in Photoshop and add a new layer below the image and fill that with whatever background color you need. Any antialiasing should adapt automatically to the new background color. You have a link to the image you are talking about?

It depends on what sort of control panel your hosting uses, but it may be possible to go in and edit your folder permissions through their control panel interface. Some FTP editors also have that ability. I would definitely change your FTP password and your main hosting password as soon as you can to something secure (no words in the dictionary, combination of uppercase/lowercase, and perhaps using special characters and/or numbers).

If you no longer have access to the site via FTP, you'll probably just need to wait on the host to reply. Most likely, the password you were using for the account wasn't very secure. Were you using some sort of CMS (wordpress, etc), or was it a static HTML site?

Can you clarify... what exactly has been hacked? your hosting? the CMS your site runs on?

Eh. Maybe if I had time... Doesn't really seem to be something that I could put into use on an actual site though.

You may want to check this thread: http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=32596&sid=7a68dce6816302c2417b8597db58ee49&p=131782 And perhaps this one: http://forum.phpvideotutorials.com/showthread.php?t=2571 Sorry you are having so much trouble with this... for most people, it installs without a hitch.

Sounds about right. If you want to do anything dynamic and access a database, PHP or another dynamic programming language is the way to go. I tend to prefer PHP over ASP or ASP.NET, but it is personal preference for the most part. A lot of people use PHP and you should be able to get the help you need. I should mention... the "job website from scratch" video tutorial series over at phpvideotutorials.com (under the "paid videos" section) covers writing a basic PHP search engine which searches a database and returns the results. May be one option for you that will help you get started if you don't know much about PHP yet. ...I should clarify, the above comment isn't intended as spam -- I have just watched other videos from that site and have found them extremely useful.

No, I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with it.

Assuming that you had IIS installed first, then installed WAMP, and then removed IIS, I would suggest deinstalling WAMP and reinstalling -- I'm guessing that something to do with the old IIS installation is causing problems. I've done a brief search on the problem on Google, though I haven't really found anything that may help you -- mostly, the advice usually seems to be "reinstall". If I find anything I'll let you know.

Just to clarify... You are using WAMP? And you removed IIS? What is the URL that you are trying to use to access phpMyAdmin?

Yeah, I saw that when I was designing my site. The API is a bit too slow, sadly, for actual use, but I did end up using quite a few quote from that site.

I'd probably just adjust the content area to fit, rather than slicing the header. There really isn't a convenient place in the header image that could repeat, so you would end up having to fake a larger header yourself, or going back to the designer and asking for him/her to do it for you.

Just noticed that Google has a new favicon... (yet again...) I like it better than the old one... what do you think? http://www.google.com/

On the positive side, it looks like HTML 5 will allow for better semantic markup, and will mean we can use instead of making our code slightly easier to read and mark up using CSS. As you say though, when will this actually be usable? Hard to say... I suppose when 90% of browsers support it. I'm not too worried about Firefox/Safari/Chrome/Opera, since they tend to lead with new features, but IE may (as usual) slow things down.

lol. My music is definitely a lot... um... lighter than most people's music choices here... Jack Johnson, Tristan Prettyman, Maroon 5, Coldplay, KT Tunstall, Rilo Kiley, Snow Patrol, Dido... Not a big fan of the hip hop/rap that seems popular in my area at the moment...

Sure. What exactly is your question?

Hmmm. I'm currently getting "Directory Listing Denied - This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed." when I try to look at your site.

I haven't watched the videos, so I can't say for sure... but it's possible that the person creating the course wasn't using MAMP (sorry, can't think of his name at the moment), but using the OSX's default installation of PHP, which would mean that the files needed to be put in a different location. Try out putting the files in Applications > Mamp > htdocs, and let me know if you run into anything else.

I'm not sure if there is a solution to this... especially since not all users may see the exact font size that you set, making the middle column longer or shorter. If they choose to change the text size to make it easier for them to see (heck, I'm only 22, and I had difficulty looking at the 11px text) that column will adjust to fit, growing or shrinking. I don't think it is possible to specify where that second column ends in relation to the first column. As a side note, your site isn't WCAG compliant, despite the image on your site saying so, since users can't resize the text on IE (because the text is in px, rather than in ems). Might want to look at that.

It depends if you are sending this email as an html email, or a plain text email (which would have no styling). This has some more information on that: http://webcheatsheet.com/php/send_email_text_html_attachment.php#html Once you are sending HTML email that can be styled, the easiest thing to do would be to add a tag around the text you want bolded. $reset_notes_other

You may need to access the hosting control panel -- depending on the setup your hosting uses, you may have an option to select while file or type of file the server looks for first as the home page.

probably... it will depend on the script you are using, and how easy it is to modify. You have a link both to your form and to the script you are using? I'm not sure if I totally understand what you are wanting to do, but if I looked at the form you are talking about, I'd probably understand better.

As far as I know, you shouldn't need to mess with the terminal at all... I've never needed to. -- install MAMP -- run MAMP.app -- When MAMP.app starts, make sure that the servers are running correctly, and click "open start page". That will give you the localhost address you need to work with MAMP (and it will show you what username/password is currently active for accessing mysql) -- your mysql username and password can be changed by using phpMyAdmin and changing the settings under "Privileges"

Well, I'm a bit of a numbers geek... Google Analytics seems to provide my traffic information in a clean, attractive way. I'm not sure if GA tracks 404s though, or at least I can't find it, so that's unfortunate. Still, I think I like Mint best out of the three (GA, AWstats, Mint).
