This must be a common problem with an easy answer: I run Apache 2.0.43 with PHP and MySQL, as a local server on Win XP Home. It was all working fine,until I installed a broadband connection (NTL) and Norton firewall. Now whenever I call on my Apache as local host, Internet Explorer 6 completely...

I have noticed that the Word 2002 toolbar button "Bullets" now applies a style (great idea: why was a bullet list ever styled "normal" before?) Trouble is, as I've built my templates all sorts of style names are appearing in the toolbar style box when I click this button...

Note for dcompto Your note about converting to frames wasn't so wrong after all! But getting there is now a tour around the houses. (However, I do find that in XP, the frame adopts the format and position of the original text box, so requires no reformatting.) Apart from my grouch about having...

Thanks plantj It's sort of an answer, since (a) it stops the graphic element resizing to the box and (b) it collects caption text etc with the picture. Unfortunately, this method turns everything into a picture, so your autocaption labels are no more, and if you need to edit the caption (for...

Office XP Anyone know why the toolbar button for Word bullet lists still gives you unstyled bullets, when the styles list is cram full of nicer looking bullets? What's the point of a bullet button and a list of bullet (oh, and numbered too!) styles, if they don't connect in any way? Or have I...

Sadly, no. That would be too easy! MS has changed the frame object to mean something quite different in XP, all in pursuit of the XML dream. As far as a text document object is concerned, it is gone forever, transferred into the context of HTML frames. The current answer to positioning a...

Thanks Dreamboat But frames were so EASY and so convenient! My scepticism over text boxes was to do with the error messages saying "You cannot put drawing objects into a text box, callout, comment, footnote, or endnote". Plainly you can, so long as you do it the right way. I can...

Am I really wrong about this, or am I just too used to using CSS? Why is it that if I define a Word 2002 table style to use a particular font, is it NEVER used? Instead, I always get the font of the preceding paragraph. Logic says that if I am allowed to specify a different font in (say) the...

I can't believe I feel alone in this one! For years, in Word 97 we have been enclosing [a caption line, a table or diagram, and a source attribution line] in a frame and positioning it at the top or foot of the page so text flows around it. It is really easy and controllable, and since we are a...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Interesting one this. Yes, the code and url are definitely correct. If I echo the same code in a link, as I use in the include statement, the link works. It seems PHP simply doesn't like absolute urls in includes because it always tries to relate them to...

Yup; all OK and correct.

Nice thought, but no joy. Here's my context: Apache htaccess refers to a custom error401.php page This error page picks three include files from another directory. These header/footer/rollover script files are also used by other passworded files at various levels. Normally the page informs...

I use a variable to set relative links in include files: eg: $var = &quot;../../&quot; sets a required relative prefix for [filename] as in: <img src=&quot;<?= $var ?>image.gif&quot;> but: $var = &quot;http://website.com&quot; fails to find the file, presumably because of the // being...

I'm using a form to send emails from my sites. Simple stuff: name, sender's email, etc. plus message textarea. I use the PHP mail() facility so the message goes as a string in a variable. Can I prevent quotes in the user's text coming through as escaped characters, eg: I like your...

I need a generalised script to refresh MySQL tables from a PHP page, ie: 1) Delete all records from a named MySQL table 2) Read in records from a named tab-separated file 3) Confirm Table update OK (and presumably be repeatable to update a series of tables in one go, from a series of tab...

Many thanks, that sorts it. Can you tell me why? I've seen this URL conversion twice now, both times using the $(num) configuration. I'm still a PHP beginner, so I wouldn't have thought of using // from what I've read.

I'm using this code to convert urls: // Find e-mail addresses and add a mailto <a href> tag. $str = preg_replace(&quot;/(\w|\-|\.)+@(\w|\-)+(\.|(\w|\-)+)+/&quot;, &quot;<a href=\&quot;mailto:$0\&quot;>$0</a>&quot;, $str); // Find URLs (starting with http or https) and add a <a href> tag...

Do search engines assemble PHP pages with includes and index the result? Or do they see the 'fragments', the files used to build the client-side browser page? ie, if I place meta tags into a common header include file, via PHP variables in the including page, will they be seen by search engines...
