Huge PHP email form needed

In Web Dev, Work on 17 November 2005 with 1 comment

I need to create a form nearly identical to this [link removed], but more secure and with PHP. I’m using an online contact form generator, but it’s very basic (and doesn’t include dropbox boxes). I’ve been working very slowly, using the basic fields available and adding more manually within Dreamweaver MX. I lack PHP knowledge, so I’m copying and pasting, making sure the fields I add match up everywhere across the files.

If you can help me out, I’d really appreciate it! This might be a driving factor to get me to learn some HTML, CSS, and PHP.

Update: Thanks to Eric for basically doing the chore for me. You rock, man!

O.F. Jay’s having problems with .htaccess. Can anyone help him out? I don’t know jack about that stuff.

Default font sets

In Web Dev on 15 June 2005 with no comments

Speaking of being nice to web developers, I came across these two pages:

• Windows XP default font set
• Mac OS X default font set

They show how the fonts look, so you don’t have to try and find them yourself. Alternatively, you can type their name into Identifont to display them. It’s probably in your best interest to choose fonts that are on at least both of these pages when modifying your website, so all your visitors can view your website just like you intended.

Be nice to your web developers

If you’re not running a website yourself, and you have someone else on staff doing it, please proofread a thousand times before you send them some text you want published on a new page. Sure, it’ll take a few more days to get it out there. But, do you really want to send your web developer twenty emails asking to change a little here, a little there? (more…)

IImage Browser and PHP Safe Mode

IImage Browser is one of my favorite plugins. However, you need PHP Safe Mode to be off. This is kind of a note to self, because I host two other WordPress sites for friends.

PHP4 extension

In Annoying, Asides, Web Dev, Work on 11 April 2005 with 3 comments

I wanted to try and redo the Public Counsel website to use PHP include, to make it easier to maintain the layout headers, sidebar, and footer. It’s hosted by EarthLink, and I believe they’re on the StarterSite package. I create a phpinfo file, then upload it. When I try to view it, it’s just text. After calling EarthLink, I find out that I need to end the filename with php4! How lame is that? That works.
