Re: Re: Continuance of the struggle (trying to understand)

Col:

Congratulations on becoming a father!! As a father of 3 myself, I know
the joys that infants bring :)

As for your scripting issues, I would suggest that you save your files
with the .php extension, and not the .html. The .php extension will
tell the php compliler/parser/whatever and spit back the "compiled" php
script.

If you're looking to just have a "photo gallery", there are many
free/opensource gallery scripts out there that you can use. Mind you,
there is no "sense of accomplishment" when you do it this way, but if
you're unsure about security, and file injection/sql injection, then you
may be better off using one of those, until you're further along in your
book :)

+gallery&aq=f&aqi=g-sx1g-o1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=f85a0 cf66583c3ac

in the past, I set up coppermine for a friend of mine, and he said it
works ok... but like I said, there are lots out there, and maybe
consider using one of them for now, so you can spend more time with your
new baby :)

Steve.
