I am just starting out my own website. I've taken a snick peak at the perl syntax, i think it is the most abominable syntax i have ever seen. I am trying to become a viable webmaster in a few days, is it possible? Where do i start?
I am sitting in my flame proof buncker, so don't even bother.
by the way, perl stinks.

Start with plain HTML to get a feel for the structure, then start in with CSS for page layout and appearance. Once you have some skill in the basics you can add niceties like scripting. I use ASP and ADO right now, but PHP and MySQL are very popular, as well. A lot of sites use ECMAScript (javascript) still, and if you're used to C++ syntax, that might be a way for you to go. Of course, if you're wealthy enough to have VS.Net in your toolbox, you may as well jump head first into ASP.Net.
Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Forget wealth, you can go over to http://www.asp.net for ASP.NET Web Matrix - it's a superb ASP.NET dev. env. and best of all FREE

Hi, in internet explorer, when we use google to search an item many time, it record the text string that we just previously type to search the information. Does anybody know how to delete that text string in the autocomplete list. I try to delete the history, temporary file... but it is not working. please help me. 
|
|
|
|
|
in IE you can:
AUTOCOMPLETE="OFF" inside each field you wish to turn off or just inside your form to turn it all off
Cheers

If you just want to delete a single entry in the drop-downlist, just select the item whith your arrow keys and press Del.

I have a vb script I want to call by pressing a button. The code I have is:
| | |
Sub version
Dim WshShell
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "versions.vbs"
Set WshShell = Nothing
End Sub
|
when I press the button nothing happens. It calls a script to that joins the computer name to a Windows domain. Any ideas?
|

Hi,
I'm 99% sure that this wont work. WScript.Shell can not be run from a web page delivered over the net (you should get "Automation server can't create object" error). You can use it, however, if the page is loaded locally. This is to say, if the page was a .htm file loaded on a local drive, e.g. c:\example\domain.htm. (Athough you will get a dialog prompting you that an Unsafe ActiveX object needs to be loaded - this is because the WScript COM object does not implement the IObjectSafety interface required by IE)
This did used to work but I think since securty patches have been applied to IE this is no longer the case. For obvious reason seen as though WScript could be used for malicious purposes.
Hope this helps,
Andy

Hello, i've recently started building my first php based website, when suddenly i noticed something strange. The whole point of php being secure evolves around the idea that its a server side scripting language right? Well.. I was clicking through my site, lots of php pages, then i went to the xmb-forum part of my site, and i clicked on logout, and suddenly, it gives me a download window for downloading index.php!!! It didn't hit me untill about 10 seconds later when i had already dismissed the dialog. If i had downloaded it, would i have seen the source? Because this is kind of disturbing, i mean, obviously it only happens like one time in a thousand or something, it seems to be some weird bug, maybe due to the server i'm using? I still don't see how it could mess up like that... If someone could mimic the situation, they could view every php source they wanted. I also want to state that i had this happen before, but then it was usually due to the site being made improperly and it always gave u the download for the php page, but this time was when i pressed logout on xmb forum so.. i tried again but all was fine. Does anyone have any clue as to why it might do this?

Update Apache 
Also make sure your files end in PHP not INC, PHP3, etc..
Actually make sure your web server recognizes PHP as a server side script. Then make sure your files are all PHP in extension.
Why it's only prompting you to download every so often, probably becuz IE is caching your request/result.
If it happens once and then not again, try deleting your temp internet files and accessing that page again, it should prompt you to download your script. If this is the case, then it's your server that setup wrong.

Hi
I try to restrict access to some pages..
I don't want to use username/password text Input controls,,
instead I want to display the basic authentication dialog but i face a problem reading the username/password that the user inputs :
Response.Clear
Response.Write Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")
if Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")<>"ABC" and Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_PASSWORD")<>"123" then
Response.AddHeader "WWW-Authenticate","basic"
Response.Status="401"
Response.End
else
Response.Write "user=" & Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") & vbCrLf
Response.Write "PWD=" & Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_PASSWORD")
end if
the dialog shows up and i input data but seems that the checking for AUTH_USER and AUTH_PASSWORD is wrong..
please help me with this.
I use IIS 5.0 and basic authentication is enabled.

Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") will have domain name in front of it. i.e. the value should be "<<your domain="">>\ABC"
//Start of joke
Never comment ur code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand !!!
//End of joke

I think this goes for NT authentication,
any way i changes the condition to :
if len(Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_PASSWORD"))>0 then
Response.Write "user=" & Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") & vbCrLf
Response.Write "PWD=" & Request.ServerVariables("auth_type")
else
Response.AddHeader "WWW-Authenticate","basic"
Response.Status="401"
Response.End
end if
but still does not work !!!

Don't forget that the AUTH_PASSWORD and AUTH_USER variables are going to be Base64 Encoded. You will need to unencode them to be able to test them against a value- .Net has some classes in the Texting namespace that should do the trick.
I also notice that you are setting just the Status property. Try setting the StatusCode property and StatusDescription seperatly.
ie. Response.StatusCode = 401; Response.StatusDescription="Unauthorized
"

Also, I think the header needs to have a realm.
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="WallyWorld"
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/draft-ietf-http-spec.html#WWW-Authenticate
Gives more details.

|
|
thank you..
but encoding is sill a coming problem
even if I check for the length of the AUTH_PASSWORD server variable i get 0 !!!
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
AUTH_USER and AUTH_PASSWORD are populated by IIS if it requested the authentication itself.
You need to check the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION variable. This will be Base64 encoded and will encompass both the username and password. See the specification I posted earlier to figure out how it is put together.
|
|
|
|
|
HTTP_AUTHORIZATION is the answer !!
thanks alot
now the next step is to decode the Base64 encoded string..
wish me luck

.Net provides a class to do that for you.
Try looking under System.Text
|
|
|
|
|
yes
i know it already exists in .net but i can't use .net for this project.
so i'll have to do it myself

again (5)
i was going to code it myself .. now i'll reuse the code
many thanks.

There is a PHP port of these message boards, but IMHO they suck a*s...the author uses every bad technique in PHP possible
However you can use it as a template and start from there...
Threaded message boards are not easy...probably the most difficult PHP script I ever wrote...requires crazy recurssion (my design did anyways) and other rocket science type stuff...  jk...it's not that bad...
Other than CP I have never seen any nice looking threaded forums...always linear(???)...I imagine becuz it's more efficient, but not as easy on the eyes

You can get the code for the Code Project forums right here.
