yea we realize that, one of the hosting companies said they will handle the advertising, Register.com, got any advice from them? or about them?
-
well just like craigslist, he has it to where on certain posting categories u need to pay. plus, if possible, ads i find them annoying but oh well.

I have read XHTML/HTML/CSS 8 books-in-one from the For Dummies, as well as PHP & MySQL from the For Dummies, i also have the libraries (from what i have seen) only book from Larry Ullman "PHP and MySQL For Dynamic Web Sites - Second Edition". Even the main library doesnt have a lot of Computer books. But yes i am trying to build a Classifieds website (like craigslist or backpage or eclassifieds) for a source of income, I need to get it up and running Before it gets colder. Living in a house that is usually ten degrees colder than the outside is not an easy task, and we are running out of gasoline money. I also have a few other books, 2 of which are php in a nutshell, and php phrase guidebook or something, and the last two are just for dummies books talking about how to make your own website. But i have tried a library "loan book"? she said it was where they check all the libraries in this country and loan it out to a certain library for a certain customer. BUT she said that i had to be customer of their county in order to do that, and since im not.....well there goes that idea. Is there a way to read the book online? instead of just getting the codes?
-
Since I can't afford the book right now (4th edition) , is it possible to use the "Forum" codes like a classifieds form? For example: There is a "Posting Form", someone fills it out (including pics), then they can preview it, then "Submit" or "Launch" it, then see it within a "Post List"? And is it possible to see some of these lists from a week to a month prior to the current date?

okie dokie i think i got it finally. found the same words needed. ty for your help, and srry for taking a long time to find this.
-
but i was previously using AT&T
-
At the moment I am using the Library's internet
-
well, I'm not sure really, as far as browsers go i use internet explorer mainly, and as far as email goes i use yahoo. Service provider? like who lets me have access to internet, example: AT&T?
-
ok how do i find out what my, "the smtp server name of your ISP" is?
-
yeeeaaa i remember, i have a problem with locatiing that file
i keep hearing about that, "php.ini" do i have to create it? or is it already put somewhere? if so, then where? I have looked for it before, but couldn't find it...maybe i was searching in the wrong areas . -
When i was testing out the "Forgot Password" part, after i entered the email, i got an error message saying, "An error occurred in script 'C:\xampp\htdocs\forgot_password.php' on line 44: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()". I don't know what to do to fix this problem. I need to know what it means and how to fix it.

I am wondering, which of the books goes with which versions of the PHP and MySQL? For example, which book would go best with Version 5.1 for MySQL? and Version 5.3.1 of PHP? I am hoping to get a list of each book and which versions it applies to. I need to know which book I will need, before I go further with more questions. Thank You in advance.

AHA! SUCCESS! lol ty so much for the help on that problem. oh and btw, one thing i have noticed in a lot of PHP/MySQL books is that they don't really mention at least not use the example needed directly to get it to where if the website is a "Classifieds" website, how do i make it possible to allow people to fill in the Posting Form, add photos if needed, preview it and then see it on a post listing page?
-
ok ty for that. the error now reads "An error occurred in script 'C:\xampp\htdocs\register.php' on line 70: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()" and i have no idea what those files are, let alone where they are. i have heard of them before but never could understand them, in what they do, or how to make them(if they aren't made already).
-
ok i got rid of it from the query, but if i DO want to have my users "activate" their account how do i set up that field in the table? i know the field name is "active", but what is the 'type' varchar? int?
-
ok after checking it, there was a couple of errors that i saw, one was the 'pass', in the db it was set as 'password' and i changed that, then it said "MySQL Error: Unknown column 'active' in 'field list'" now i dont have the book here in my hands (the library didnt have it there) so i dont know how the database is supposed to look. that may be another problem. how is the database supposed to look like? the table columns
-
ok i changed it but the message is still there.
-
is there any other places i need to change it?
-
ok let me change it real quik and i'll let you now what happens
-
thats ok
I didn't get enough sleep last night so i may be a little slow in understanding some things, forewarning you lol. -

at the time the person who was helping us, said they would do it for free, is we purchase their server, or choose them as the hosting company.
