Re: Real time responce browser

Web pages are stateless, so you will have to refresh/reload the page to change it's state. You could redo the software in something like Java and have it in true real time, but if you want to keep it web based then it's got to be a refresh/reload. Maybe look into using AJAX as it will probably be cl...

Re: Volunteer Needed - Might Be Too Much To Do For Free Though?

You could probably do that by using wordpress or something similar.

Re: Netbooks for LAMP Development??

Has anyone had any issues with the keyboard size when using one for development? I could imagine it would either get annoying after a little while, or you just get used to it. Which one did you find?

Re: Zend Certification

That's exactly how it should work. Sadly the interviews I've had where I've been asked to write code haven't been like that. I agree. I find it more common that they give you a piece of paper, say "do that, I'll be back in 30 minutes." I had one interview where the main bloke was sick so ...

Re: Zend Certification

I've had interviews like that too. I've walked out of more than one. Any company that asks you to write code without having references, even if it's just in an interview, is utterly moronic and not the sort of place I'd want to work at. I'm damn good at what I do, but I haven't committed the PHP ma...

Re: source version control

I just use subversion from the command line at work. We have an Ubuntu server that holds the repository and I have a working copy on my fedora work station. I think it's better than using a third party plug in as you have direct control over everything and it's a lot less demanding on the machine. S...

Re: Zend Certification

I'll be taking the exam at some point at the end of this year, or the start of next, as my boss just offered to pay for it. :D I think it will be a handy thing to have as a lot of people who actually hire developers aren't always developers themselves, and don't always appreciate what makes a good d...

Re: Volunteers Needed - PHP, Javascript, XHTML, CSS

Hi! I can see where you are coming from with this but I don't think it would be worth it in my honest opinion. People who what to create dynamic site without learning any of the above techs, can just use things like Joomla, wordPress and Drupal etc. These are all started to be used as frameworks now...

Re: How do i execute php programs in linux?

get #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured). I had this when I first started. It's probably because MySQL isn't running. Some Linux distros don't start MySQL on boot. Start MySQL manually and then try phpMyAdmin. If that works then add M...

Netbooks for LAMP Development??

Hi all, Just wanted to get your thoughts on using a netbook (I've heard good things about the new acers) for LAMP development. Maybe some of you have already tried it? At the moment I'm using an old HP/Compaq nx9005, with 256 ram and a 40 gig hard drive running ubuntu, and it does grid a bit. Plus i...

Suggest you read up on HTTP Headers, and how they can be sent using PHP.
