I wasn't invoking 'session_start()' - and that was the problem! Thanks for your help :) Jon Daniels

Hi, I am using PHP4 on Win2000 with IIS and am unable to retrieve session variables. I can set them with: $_SESSION['key'] = $val; This sets the value in the session file but I cannot retrieve this value if, for example, I use this in another subsequent page: $thisVal = $_SESSION['key']...

Followup: Actually I think that this has little to do with Apache - I had the server name the same as my machine name so typing http://servername went to a shared folder! Typing localhost does the trick. D'oh!

Hi, I am running Apache 1.3.29 on Windows ME and previously have had no trouble with it, even having had it binded to JRun 3.1. But nowadays whenever I browse to the document root, it brings up a different directory in the browser. The DocumentRoot directove in httpd.conf points to...

I'd suggest PHP4 - very easy to install, free, quite a powerful language, and reasonably easy to learn and use.

Regarding SQL Server / Database server: "SQL Server" is the name of Micrsoft's database server, as opposed to Oracle's or MySQL. Not very original of them, I know :)

Well, a cross-platform solution in JS tends to mean coding as many branches as there are plaforms, which is a bit of a dirty hack, but seems to be the standard. All this said, the table-based solution by 'theboyhope' looks good. I've never seen that ... Jon

Here's what you do: // in the javascript section... document.layers['myLayer'].innerHTML = &quot;Text in the layer&quot;; ib the HTML <layer ID=&quot;myLayer&quot;></layer> Points to remember are: a) a DIV or SPAN in MSIE is equivalent to a LAYER in NS b) given point (a) you have to...

I don't believe it can be done. Tables are part of an earlier HTML specification that was purely markup (ie display) and had no way of referencing arbitrary blocks of text. This is where DHTML is so useful - you can use DIV and SPAN to encapsulate a block of text, and write HTML to these blocks...

Thanks for your input. I think what I will do is this: at the same time as I run the call script, I will run a monitoring script that kills the record process when the file reaches a certain size. As you say, it seems to be working some of the time, but not every time ... Thanks again Jon

Hi, I have a Redhat machine which dials up to a Dynamode voice modem from a series of shell scripts included with the Big Brother monitoring app. The situation is this: I can dial out to a given number, and I am looking at one of two scenarios occurring; 1) the call goes in the normal way and...

A couple of things to check... 1) The mySql server is actually running (start the service if it is not). I think on Win2K you have to start it manually or set it to automatic and reboot 2) password is correct HTH, and apologies if you did this already Jon Daniels

Yup, I used CFMX earlier this year and found that it has become basically a java app server (they have built it on top of JRun I think), so you get alot of Java type errors and constraints. The best quick advice I can offer is to use underscores (maxheight_local) or second-word caps...

2 ways to do this... You could use Iframes. You have the first form in a DIv in the parent page, and when you hit the button execute some JS that calls some CF page (with the username as part of the querystring) in the iframe which is inside the second, previously hidden div. I did this for a...

Hi, I'm putting together a site which has a list of items, each of which has a mouseover event that pops up a layer at the position of the mouse cursor. This works fine until I scroll down the page. Then, when the mouse rolls over a link, the following scenario occurs: although the link may be...

By and large I've had no problems migrating applications to MX. There are a few differences though, specifically: 1) SQL Debugging: I can't get this to work at all 2) Archiving: This useful tool (which, if it is on CF5, I can't find it) allows you to archive not only cfm files but ODBC...

Yup, that did it! Thanks alot for your help. JD
