Also I think we should tell all those poor people using php and javascript about ruby on rails.Newbs like myself- go for instant rails.
http://rubyforge.org/
to get on rails.

I am looking to add a comments section to my web page. I want it to be managed via a MySql database so that I can pull the e-mail addresses that are entered. Can anyone recommend a free script that is easy to install and easy to manage. My PHP knowledge is pretty minimal. Thanks-

That is exactly what I am looking for. I ve been searching constantly and nothing was quite right. Thanks!

Hello- what do you think is the best way to handle apostrophes in PHP/MySQL?

I’m writing an adventure game and the user can enter text. If they enter text with an apostrophe I need to strip this out or I get MySQL errors. Ideally I want to escape the apostrophe so it gets stored in the table and then when it’s retrieved the code recognises an escaped apostrophe and displays it correctly

How would you handle the input from the user and then display it back again?

Thanks!

Hi-

1) Is there a way to back up mysql database to my computer? So if i join a host after some time to reupload the database back to it?

2) And is there a way of useing a Vbulltin database and then change my website to wordpress and still use the old database with all the forums and usernames etc?

I just want to to know how stressful it is.. because i m studying Computer Science and it really sucks now.. i liked it before but now everything becomes very complicated (c#- mysql- java swing..). It s not difficult but i think it s very complicated.. and in a firm a real project must be perfect.There s always possibility to make mistakes. So i m waiting answers from real programmers.
