Whats the different between php, asp, or any other programming language?
Post Date: 12/01/2008   -   Category: Programming

I was wondering what the difference is between each programming language and if there was an advantage to using one over the other or if one is not good to use over another? Why are there so many differing programming languages?

I get a "general entity "page" not defined and no default entity" Error when validating my html.
Post Date: 02/13/2009   -   Category: HTML

When I validate my code with an html validator and I get this following error.

Line 183, Column 80: general entity "page" not defined and no default entity.

This is a part of this line it is referring to.

<a href="www.guest.org/C0122480/view.php?type=text&page=commsat_anatomy" target="_self">SAT</a>

I keep looking at it but I can’t figure out what this means? Can you help me please!

MySQL image viewing problem in php?
Post Date: 01/18/2009   -   Category: PHP

Every time my webpage loads, instead of the image displaying, I get a fake image of the url of the webpage. Here is the code:

Code Above the header:
<?php
$sql = "SELECT imagename, image FROM users WHERE user_id = '1'";

$imagename = $file['imagename'];
$image = $file['image'];

header("content-disposition: inline; filename=$imagename");
header("content-type: image/jpeg");
header('content-length: ' . strlen($image));
echo $image;
?> exit();

This is the code in the body:
<?php
// Default page view: lists stored files
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY user_id DESC';
$filelist = @mysql_query($sql);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($filelist);

echo '<img src="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?user_id=' . $row['user_id'] . '" width="50" />';
?>

Like I said, a url that is an image displays, not my image from my database. Thank you!

Are tables ok for making website design?
Post Date: 02/02/2009   -   Category: Design

I was wondering if tables were an ok way to create a website design? A colleague of mine was telling me that tables are not a good way to make a website. I thought that was strange because my Photoshop Slice tool makes a webpage into tables. This is how I have made my websites for years now. Is there a problem with tables for design?

I want to learn programming for the web but I don’t know where I should start?
Post Date: 02/14/2009   -   Category: Programming

Where do I start in the programming world. I want to be a web designer and I have very little experience with the server side aspect of web development. I have designed many static web pages but now I am being required to do much more. People want my to be able to search things in their site and make shopping carts and more. What is the best route to take for studying server side web development.
