Programming & Design - September 2006

This is what I have so far:


(connection, and database strings erased)
$result = mysql_query("SELECT name,age,desc FROM contact WHERE ID = '$idno'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo 'Name: '.$row['name'].'
';
echo 'Age: '.$row['age'].'
';
echo 'Description: '.$row['desc'].'
';
?>

When I view the page in a browser, I change the url to .com/display.php?ID=7

The only thing that shows up is the Name:, Age:, Description:, not the actual values of the data in my table. Anyone know why?

For some reason I seriously cannot figure it out. If you know some site where I can learn how to heavily parse XML files with PHP, then that would be good enough. This isn't just simple RSS or anything. This is very complex, multi-layered XML. I am using this for something that's just like Blogger and Xanga, where someone could make blogs. The XML is for themes in something like Blogger, where you would enter <$someVariableName$>, but mine is in completely XML. Some thing like

Does anyone know those old links that said DO NOT PRESS and when you pressed them it had all these pop ups come up saying stuff like... "Ok punk i told you not to press" and keeps going. The only way to get out of them is to either click "ok" for minutes or reboot your computer. Does anyone know where i can find them?

I'm curious to know the complexity of the database on Careerbuilder? On the database end, do you think it is a SQL database on a dedicated server? How is the front end aspect scripted for searching, sorting, and finding (PHP)? Do you think it is difficult to mock? Do you think hiring one person to design a database of similiar functions is do-able, or do you think something like that requires a whole team of developers?

I'm a moderately advanced beginner with regex, and I've come up with this one I'm pretty sure will work, but I'd appreciate a proofreading before going live with it:
^[0-9, ]+$
It should match if the value is all numbers and/or spaces, but is it effecient as it could be?

Should I include dashes too?

And what if the value has no numbers? (I guess I could check first for all spaces & dashes and handle that case differently. No sense in telling the customer they've entered a CC# where it shouldn't be if they've not entered any digits.)

Thanks!

A friend of mine's computer has shut down. She cannot get into DOS or Safe mode. When she turns the computer on she get's an error that says unmountalbe boot volume so she wants to rewrite the boot log. This may have happened either because of a virus that she had recently or because she put a firewall on her computer yesterday and did not diable other virus protectors even though it told her to do so. Anyway, she has Windows XP and it will not let her into Dos or Safe Mode at all. What can she do? And, if she does manage to get in to DOS how does she re-write the boot log, as she doesn't want to pay 50 bucks for having it done...lol. Thank for any and all real help.

My laptop acts like Im not the admistrator of my computer. It says I am the administrator in the users/profiles section in control panel. But I can't install software now, or change system time, or change folder options, create other accounts, or really anything an administrator should be able to do. Also I just recovered the computer from a virus and it is working great now, the virsus is gone, but I think that it must have changed registry stuff to make it thinki I'm not the administrator. Any suggestions?

I have recently started learning web page design and gone over html and css. I recently checked out a couple of books at the library to help me start learning javascript. The books have given me a foundation for the structure of writing javascript, but I'm still not sure of javascripts capabilities.

I need to represent some data for a program but I don't want to just use cout. Long ago, I could write and represent programs using ascii but I've forgotten how. Actual gui would be ok too, but it would need to be something that is installed by default with fedora linux.

How can I convert a char value that I receive from an external data source with a value of '2006926' (supposed to represent September 26 2006 ) to a datetime datatype? Note the '0' is missing from the month. I can not find a way to convert this to a datetime datatype because of the missing '0'. None of the converts or casts I tried could handle this. Is there a way?

I have taught myself the basics to creating a myspace layout, but have not had the time to teach myself all the html/css that goes into making an overlay. I really want my myspace to have a unique look, but as a full time mom I don't have the time to try to teach myself all the coding.
If there is someone out there that would be able to possibly create one for me if I gave them the ideas of what I want that would be great! I would be so appreciative.
Well...let me know!
