I wasnt too sure where to go! I am a bit stuck. I am trying to write a little
I am just trying to use a php script to save information from an html form to a text file. I am using my universities provided server for my three little files. My form html page, the writetofile.php it calls, and the data.txt file where id want my data to be saved. It seems no matter what i do, no matter how many examples i look at, i cant seem to get it to write to my txt file.
( Code under the cut! )
My blog is back at WordPress – hosted by their good selves rather than me. I haven’t so much gone “full circle”, as started another lap. Hopefully this will be the last.
After thinking about it all afternoon, and much of the evening, a few things occurred to me;
- Why am I paying for blog posting ?
- Why am I not using WordPress.com ?
- What kind of idiot am I ?
I’ll tell you what kind of idiot I am – the kind that can’t stop fiddling with stuff – can’t stop tinkering. It has to stop some time, and now would be a good time. After trying out all manner of homes for my words around the internet, I am returning to the once-host for many moons of them – WordPress.
I do not write to make money – therefore I have no need for advertising. I am in the business of making friends though, and it makes much more sense to be part of a community to do that. Better to be on the train, looking out, than on the platform trying to look in. Hosting my own WordPress blog highlighted many of the professional dangers I have to deal with in my “other life” – constant updates to the server, constant re-installation of plugins and widgets, and constant defence against spam. That all comes to an end through the use of a hosted blog – it becomes somebody else’s problem.
Here’s to the future, and being a boring ass blogger on WordPress, who throws out badly written words like confetti in the dark of night – that nobody can see.
Is your business day 100 percent predictable? If so, please disregard this post. If your life is like the rest of ours, then you’re familiar with the feeling of your day kicking into overdrive at any given moment for any given reason. Then, pile on traveling for business just to keep things interesting. Well, to put some order and civility back into your day, you might consider Southwest’s Business Select fare the next time someone calls and says, “We need you in Houston this afternoon.”
If you’ve never tried Business Select, then you’re definitely missing out. Anyone can buy it and be guaranteed a Group A 1-15 boarding pass, extra Rapid Rewards credit, and a drink onboard. The fare also provides you with Fly By priority lane access to help get you through security lines at the airport more quickly. Most Southwest airports offer Fly By at TSA security checkpoints, and now 21 of our airports also offer Fly By priority check-in lane access at our ticket counters. So, as a Business Select Customer, you’re able to go to the front of the line. Check here to see if your airport offers Fly By.
Business Select has been a special Southwest fare offering for two years as of this week, so the next time you book a ticket at southwest.com, give Business Select a try. Or just ask the friendly Customer Service Agents and they’ll gladly upgrade you.
Oh, and if you actually answered yes to my opening question, can you reply to this blog and share your secret with all of us?

Fear: “I’m going to lose because someone else is going to beat me to market (or is already there).”
Truth: In business, there can be lots of winners in any niche. Look at how many shoe makers, Italian restaurants, and furniture manufacturers succeed. You can do well in a crowded field as long as you’re doing something that sets you apart from the pack. It can be price, style, substance, personality, positioning, or storytelling. There are tons of ways to establish your company as unique.
Don’t obsess over being first-to-market either. Successful businesses show up to the party late all the time. Google wasn’t the first search engine. VHS toppled Betamax even though it was later to market. There are plenty of things that are more important than being first.
When you follow the link, you end up to this MySpace look-a-like page, hosted on various .uk domains:
Once you log on, the bad guys gain access to your MySpace credentials.
Why do they want them?
So they can pose as you on MySpace and send malicious links to your friends — who will surely follow them, as they know you and trust you…
But in this case, this is not the only thing they are after. After logging on, you get this prompt:
A New MySpace Update Tool? Really? As an executable file?
Hmm… and of course it's not. The file (md5: 4c7693219eaa304e38f5f989a8346e51) turns out to be yet another Zeus / Zbot banking trojan variant.
F-Secure Anti-Virus blocks access to the malicious domains and detects the malware.

Lisa's back with her super dumb question time!
I'm trying to get the hang of PDO, and I understand that it'll be easier for my DB Connections in the future, but there are just some (probably basic) things that I'm getting stuck on.
Let's say I have this in my class ( Click for code snippit )
The goal is to 1) pull the customer's login information for $network out of our database and display it for them on the page (we really try and dumb things down for them), and 2) set $username, $password, and $profile_url, which are data members for my class, with their initial values.
Would the values bound $username, $password, and $profile_url persist after the while loop has ended? Or because of the use of bindColumn, would the values be trashed? Or do I even need the while loop at all? Some of the things I'm reading seem to conflict as to whether or not I need it.
Thanks again!
- Mood:
totally confusing myself
Those who have read my various writing online will know I have had blogs at pretty much all of the more noteable hosts – WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr, Posterous, etc – and of course I have hosted my own blog – most recently here at Cheese and Beans.
Having come “full circle”, it’s become obvious that the platform doesn’t mean anything. Neither does brand building. Personal blogs are all about us – people – our shared experiences.
I really don’t know any more what to think – what to do – or even if to do it at all.
There is a thought in my head at the moment that November 2009 could be the end of me writing a personal blog – or at least a regular one. At the moment it’s a scary thought, but it isn’t preposterous at all.
I talked to a guy today and he kept insisted "Lutherans aren't Christians. They don't teach you from the Bible."
Um, why, just why do I have MORE THAN ONE BIBLE? Why did Luther WRITE THE BIBLE so the general public could read it?
Yeah, he went to the huge Assemblies of God Megachurch here in town *cough*GladTidings*cough* that thinks anybody who doesn't attend that church isn't a Christian.
I've been good and not obsessed with updating about NaNoWriMo. It's not that most people care when I do this. It's just that I promised myself I'd not be obsessed with updating, but I'd still write for NaNoWriMo.
The good thing is that I'm still on track for hitting 50k words by November 30! I still stayed up past midnight, but I'm still writing! Yay!
I posted this to

ugly_crap today. It's also mentioned in my most recent Mystifying Monday article for AC.Yeah, I know, it's fashion. Still, I could totally wear a SACK by cutting out the bottom and some little slit for my eye! Look at me, teacher! I'm so creative! NOT!
Lara Torres, just WHAT were you thinking?!?!?!
