Add Recently Added Posts Etc To Front Page


I am running a forum and now want to create another front / homepage where i can have other stuff related to the site as well as displaying recently added posts from the forum.

I have looked in the database for some sort of date or time that a certain post has been posted but doesnt make sense, it doesnt look like a sort of time and date that is humanly readable?

HTML, PHP, Front Page
I use Front Page 2000 to devolp my web content (don't hate me I just happen to like WYSIWYG better than physically writing out the code for HTML (a pain in the butt language :-) ) Anyways does anyone know if I can have it save files as .php instead of .html and use them in the web setup. Also another question how do I get a server to load index.php instead of index.htm?

Update Front Page
Can be written in PHP or PERL. Basically, I'd like to have a server side include on my home page that would include whatever file would display the feed. Then, on the flip side, I'd like some backdoor part where I can go type in a new entry and have it add it to the feed. I know these programs have to exist, but I'm having no luck or I'm finding ones that are 4 years old and are no longer supported.

Add A Link From The Front Page Of Forum
Is there a way I can add a link from the front page of my forum out to my php photo gallery.  I would like to make it so instead of clicking on the forum name on the first page which then takes you to a sub forum which then takes you to a thread with the link, To just click on the forum name which takes you to my photo gallery. 

Next best would be on the front page in the description of the new photo gallery be able to add a link.  Which file would I edit to change or add these links?  I know I can add a link in the overall_header.tpl but I do not see a way to change the forum name link that takes you from the first forum page to the next.

Displays 5 Posts Per Page In Descending Order
I have been doing up a website which will, among other things, display news that I input into the MYSQL database. I have a working version of this where it just displays 5 posts per page in descending order (the latest at the top of the page) with the page numbering underneath them.

Now what I wan't to do is just dispaly the latest 5 posts on the page but, I want to dispaly them so that I can put in a Javascript function to maxamize and minimize each post by clicking on the title.

So, I have, ID, Title, Newstype, Author, Post, Date. In my mind I see this as display each of these using the COUNT(*) thing and just subtracting 1, 2, 3, 4 to get the 5 posts I want. I just don't know how to do it.

PEAR DB Not Working With Recently Upgraded MySQL 4.1
I recently upgraded from MySQL 3.23 to 4.1. Now db is not working properly.
I'd very much like your help in solving this issue!

Here's the code I used to test it:

require_once 'DB.php'
$db =&
DB::connect('mysql://user:password@localhost/dbname');
if (PEAR::isError($db)) {
die($db->getMessage());
}
$res =& $db->query('SELECT * FROM table');
if (PEAR::isError($res)) {
die($res->getMessage());
}

The error message I get:
DB Error: insufficient permissions

I have this username in MySQL 4.1 set up in mysq.user in the old style (pre
MySQL 4.1) password. This user has no right in the user table and SELECT
rights in the db table for this dbname. This is the way it always worked in
the past.

This is different, I think, from my previous post about php not working with
MySQL 4.12 because I have that working now - php4.4.4 is workingon my
machine with MySQL 4.1 yet Pear DB is not.

I verified the password by UPDATE setting it using OLD_PASSWORD() and
flushing privileges.

Front End
I need an assist with a coding problem. I don't have any. I am pretty close to code illiterate, so I need to find someone who can crunch up something for me if possible. Myself and another fellow have a website that we use for entertainment purposes, Virtual Airline, no membership fees and everything is free. On this site, we have a MySql database that users transmit data to through a client side app. However, once it is in there, the user can't view the details. What I would like to find some php coding that would. Have an entry that would be hardcoded for that user

Would search by his/her id
Return date of entries (last one first)
Return Departure of each entry
Return Destination of each entry
Return Time taken of each entry
and a link to the dat file sent for each entry.

Is this possible to do with php? Can anyone assist?

Front For Mysql
Are there any good PHP scripts or pre written programs that deal with a
complex database?
Let me explain:
I'm in truck dispatch, and we've moved all tables to mysql and access them
on a network via ms access.
We will open another office in another city, and will want a "web" database.
Now here's what I'm after: Currently one form has various dropdown boxes to
pick customer, shipper, consignee, and carrier information. YES, I even
have the combos ask (ENTER SEARCH STRING), so all 17000 records do not show
up in the dropdown combo boxes. You might enter da for example to get all
occurrences of carries that start with da, i.e., Davis Transportation Inc.
Currently only about 5 da's. Of course the information in combos are pulled
from the customer database via a query. This all being done in ms access
with the mysql tables linked.

This is a very complex system, and all works perfect on a five computer
network.
By the way, choosing a shipper in a combobox fills in "ALL" necessary fields
for pickup, i.e., Address, contact person, phone number for directions, etc.
Can a web database even do something like this?

When I migrate to a "Web" database, I am looking for a good PHP script /
code / example that can handle this situation of dealing with multiple
lookups on one form, and filling in all required information without having
to type it in each time.

Ok PHP folks can this be done and where are the examples to learn off of?

To put it in a nutshell, I know how to populate a table, search, and edit
records in php. What I need are example of: Say you are entering a new
record, I need a "LOOKUP POPUP TABLE" with a search (enter search string)
like above, and a way to select a row, then the "LOOKUP POPUP TABLE" closes
and the original record I was entering has certain fields filled in. Liken
this to the "Northwind" example that comes with MS Access. In an order
example, they have some customer info auto filled in.

If all I needed was table / forn / search / edit, I could use DADABIK.

And one final question, Do I need a web database, or is it possible to
still use MS Access as a front end from another city / state in a client
server setup? I know how to network all this but not client / server from a
long distance.

Building A Front End
I am building a front end in PHP for a client of mine to dynamically change the "current stock" page help this person be a little more organized, and be able to electronically track their merchandise. Now there is not a lot of merchandise moving through this company, maybe 300-400 items per year at most. So the MYSQL database will not be very large. The kicker is building the forms to query the database.

I am coming up with a ton of different ways to filter results. By item category, creator, date created, size, sub category ... this list goes on and is getting longer. Do customers actually use filtering to that extent? I mean at any given time there could be anywhere from 300 - 600 unique items for sale on this site, so to filter them is a good thing, but when does it reach the point where it is too much?

Front End For My E-commerce
I need to create the front end for my e-commerce store. I would appreciate your thoughts on how this could be accomplished using PHP and HTML. At this time, I do not want to use a database. This store will sell license plates, license plate frames, key chains, etc. There are many combinations of vehicle manufacturer, vehicle make, license plate type, etc. What I want to do is have the customer scroll down the page where each line looks something like this:

Toyota 4Runner Dual Emblem Plate Chrome Emblem- chrome plate D.4RU.CC
$29.95 Add Item To Cart

The field names in order are:

Manufacturer/Make
Plate Type
Plate Description
Stock Number
Price

If the user wanted that item, they would click on an "Add Item To Cart" URL at the end of the line which would then need to create an HTML Hidden Form Post to the shopping cart sotware (Mal's e-commerce shopping cart) passing specific data like Plate Description, Stock Number, Quantity Purchased, Price, etc. Using HTML tables would work out great for me but I need to find a way for the hidden form post to know the information to pass. Is PHP somehow able to get the data from the table? Could it access the data in the cells in a row in a table and place the values in variables?

GNUPG Email Front End
I've been trying to figure out if there is a real GNUPG front end for popular Windows email programs and so far I haven't found any. Yes, they say it's built in Becky but what if I'm using Netscape Mail or Outlook Express. Ok, I downloaded free PGP and it installes a whole bunch of utilities that I don't really need apart from the plain plug-ins. Yes, it does have a plug-in for Outlook Express and Eudora but not for Netscape Mail. I had to modify the gnupg options so pgp could decrypt it too. Well, my major concern is Netscape Mail actually but in general, I would like a plug-in for plain, "clean" gpg.

How do you solve the problem with the front end decryption?

HTML In Front Of XML While Using SOAP. Please Help.
I am writing some dotNET code to "consume" a web service written in
PHP. So far I have been getting some error messages and PHP seems to
place HTML text in front of the XML message. dotNET doesn't expect the
XML and then it chokes. This is what I get.

The <br> tag from namespace is not expected. Line 1, position 2.

I was able to capture the data going through the network and I've got
the outgoing and incoming messages. I put those at the end of the post
because they are too long.

Looking at them you can perfectly see the HTML I mentioned. In this
case the HTML part says I am missing arguments. That should be an error
message coded in SOAP. But there is more. There is an actual SOAP error
message, it looks like even when the call was bad it executed the code;
it must have put something on the missing parameters.

My biggest issue is that the HTML prevents me from doing proper error
handling on my side of the app. Is this fixable?
