PHP & WinXP Interface Cloning

Hi everybody, this is my first post to these forums... I'm Joel Alejandro, I'm 14. I've been programming in PHP for almost 4 months and learned nearly all about MySQL functions and PHP basics.

Let's get down to the subject. I had a problem with phpMyAdmin in my WinXP server (Apache 1.3). I tried and tried to fix it, with no success. So, I began my own phpMyAdmin, called databasePHP.

With DHTML, JScript, CSS and PHP, I managed to "clone" the WinXP's GUI interface; yes, I mean: menues, transparencies between windows, shadows, and others.

I wanted to comment it. Are you interested?

If you want, I can send some of the libraries that I use to "simulate" that interface. It's totally generic, and it adapts for any use.

Thank you for your atention.

Such libraries are always of interest. I had done something like you described in the times of IE5.0. It wasn't portable, it was simple - but nevertheless it served me well.

Could you post url of some (simple) demo? It would be nice to see it in action...

If you can wait for me, I'll upload soon a small demo at the following URL:

http://www.databasephp.ar.gs/

The program requires IE5.5+ because it uses the new Visual Transitions system (based on DirectX Media).

The demo will provide:

- Database structure
- Table structure & contents

The commands of "Vaciar" (truncate) and "Eliminar" (delete) will be merely superficial - I mean, they won't work yet :wink:

Ah! Another thing: despite I write in English, the program is fully wroten in Spanish - I'm from Argentina, and I've noted how little is the amount of programs like this one correctly translated to my language.

I hope this issue do not difficult the demo.

Thanks for responding so quickly, I'm surprised :D

Goodbye!
Joel Alejandro

Hi everybody... Excuse me if I'm late, but... there's a problem with my server... I've been unable to upload any file at all.

I'm sorry if I've disappointed anyone... but this wasn't expected.

Sincerely,
Joel Alejandro
