Anteph led me to this tutorial site..which led me to want to make my own because people with these sites don’t understand HOW slices work, WHY to use them, and HOW to use them correctly..they also don’t warn people certain things don’t work on macs..also about how animated GIFs are HUGE files that take sometimes 10 mins to load on a dial up connection..they give you CSS and PHP coding and tell you what to replace to customize, but they don’t tell you how it works so that you can write your own..
so…whenever I get time to make a tutorial site, I will “teach people how to fish” so to speak..teach them concepts and basics so they can write their own code, rather than have to keep looking online for hours..
Well, anyway, I went to this page and I have been wanting to learn PHP for a long time now..so I thought maybe it’ll explain how it works..NO!! It gives you files, you change a little bit of info and upload (she doesn’t state that it needs to be FTPed in ASCII mode) the files..
WELL, I got frustrated with that and looked at the files like I used to do back in 1997 to learn HTML..I was so happy to see that the PHP coding is very similar in structure to Java Script..so I understood it!!
So I changed some variables and added some coding to create:
I know it’s nothing much, but it’s the first time I’ve worked with PHP coding! and I wrote about 80% of it based off my knowledge of Java Script..
Woot!! I’m just happy that I got something to work! Even tho, it took me a couple hours..I found out that I didn’t have the ID number be put in the database, so it kept showing up as not having anything in the db..but I fixed it..Now, I only need to find the “date” code and put it in there..but then, I think I’d have to create a new DB..
