Thanks. I can test the power issue by trying a powered USB hub (when I've found the power supply for the hub I have - I don't usually need it, so it's buried in a drawer with countless other anonymous black boxes. I'm sure they breed.) I should have thought, however, that the light would not...

I have the special cable from HP which permits USB pen-drives and some other USB equipment to be attached to the PDA. They show up as "Hard Disk" in File Explorer. Does anyone have any idea, please, why just one of my six Sandisk Cruzer pen-drives does not show up? The drive works fine on my...

>>few people in England could use punctuation correctly- mostly they will not use it at all We don't expect to see people making sweeping claims about other people based on their nationality or location, do we? It's not very nice and causes offence, even if attributed to "a friend". I'm...

Hi I'm back again. I had given up waiting, and simply used the IE7 laptop to do the job instead. And I didn't get an a-mail notification of your answer. Strangely when I upgraded the laptop to IE8 it carried on working fine, until today when suddenly I had the big problem again. I have...

Make a reasonable suggestion as to what might be causing a blank page in IE7, and I'll refer you to the relevant pages of "CSS - The Missing Manual". Michael Hooker

In reply to BillyRayPreachersSon. It has taken 6 e-mails but I've finally got him to find "About" and tell me what it says (internet explorer 7.0.6001.18000). It would actually be quicker and easier on my nerves to go round to his house than try to set up remote assistance! It's not too far...

I have a regular visitor to my website complaining that when he clicks on the usual url, Internet Explorer "won't let me in". It used to until recently but no longer does so. I haven't changed the coding so the problem must be his end, but getting some basic info from him is like wading through...

Hi - another 125 photos added today. In WinXP/IE7, here is the iehttpheaders log from the point of entry to the relevant page (addfile.php) which receives the uploaded image, processes it, and if successful returns a table containing response codes and the thumbnail that the php has just...

Thanks. I have downloaded and installed iehttpheaders, though to be quite honest I do not understand what it is supposed to be telling me. I cannot test again to see what happens until I have more images to upload, so I will have to come back to you later. I presume I need to send a copy of...

There must be something about IE8 I haven't cottoned on to yet. The private admin part of my website has a page for updating the MySQL database and uploading image files relating to the new entries. It leads on to a separate page using simple css, some moderately complex php (by my standards)...

Ah... No, that would not work at all in this context. Yes, if we have a row with data we want to display it but $details would look silly with dashes in it. It is perfectly normal for some of the fields to be empty. Imagine that 4 fields are first name, middle names and surname. So...

Thanks. What sort of something else? All I did was delete the hashes. Doesn't really matter any more though - that bit of code is history. If it is, you'll need to explain to me how. The $row array is filled with data returned from a MySQL select statement which looks for a unique ID. If...

Hi & thanks. All the $row[] variables are empty because the sql query found no data to return - there was no match. I agree that the concatenation process inserts spaces but "[]" is exactly what gets printed in the table cell when there is no match. I experimented by adding "#" to the...

The last three times I have started drafting a question here I've thought of the answer before I got to the end, so here's hoping. This has me baffled. I take a row of data out of the MySQL database and put it together into a string, like so: $details = $row[4] . ' ' . $row[5] . $row[6] . ' '...

Thanks to Billy Ray Son of a Preacher Man: setting a variable for long and complicated paths is something I usually do to avoid mistyping when they are repeated a lot, creating them programmatically is even better. I agree we're moving away from the remit of this forum. The path...

On the private folder point: you will have to forgive me for believing what my server host's helpdesk told me. I asked specifically if I could put my MySQL login script in the private folder, to be "include"-d in other php scripts in the main "htdocs" folder on the fly, and they said "No"...

Thanks, that's the conclusion I've come to, but there may have been another approach to the whole problem. Talking of very dangerous things, the commercial hoster of my shared server makes it very difficult to secure anything. They do provide what they call a private folder in which they...
