What is the best linux distro for web development?
I’ve been getting into web development these past few months, w/ html, php, mysql, javascript so far. I’d like to start developing on a linux system though, as I’ve currently only had experience doing it on windows. Any recommendations for a good distro geared toward development/servers?
Thanks!
There is more than one way to answer that question–but if you look around on the Internet, you will see that many sites are hosted on Apache running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). For this reason, I would probably use CentOS as a development platform–it’s RHEL re-compiled without the Red Hat trademarks, but it’s otherwise identical. Real-world experience with CentOS would give you useful experience when you encounter RHEL in the wild.

Web design ecommerce question. How do I set up individual accounts for each customer?
I am a web design student and I have to set up an ecommerce site. I have the shopping cart thing down, but I would like to set it up so each person can create there own login/account. I really have no idea how to do this. Can someone help me out please?
wow, that’s incredibly vague. You should include things like what language you’re programming in, ideally post some code along with the question. I’m not trying to chew you out or anything, just trying to help you ask future questions a little more clearly. That being said…
Basically you’re going to need to make an HTML form with some inputs so the user can input whatever data you need for a user. Also, you need to set the action attribute on the form to the name of the file that will process the information (php, python, jsp, etc file).
…
<form action="file.php">
<input type=’text’ name=’name’/>
<input type=’password’ name=’password’/>
<input type=’text’ name=’email’/>
<input type=’submit’/>
</form>
…
clicking the submit button will push the input’s data to file.php. Depending on what language you’re using, you will use different syntax to get those parameters and enter them into the database. I’d at least need to know what language you’re programming in to help you out anymore. good luck, hope that was some help

How to rotate my blog posts over and over with a preset time interval with PHP code?
I have a WordPress blog and what I need is to rotate my blog posts over and over with a preset time interval. And also I’d like to shuffle my posts. Would RSS feeds pick up the rotated blog posts as new ones? Does someone have this PHP code? Thanks
I am a PHP developer and I probably could find or come up with code. I will tell you a few problems you will find with what you are doing. First, if you aren’t familiar with PHP, you will find it very difficult to modify the WordPress code. It isn’t too difficult, but what you are doing would take some in-depth modification. I don’t know if there is a plugin. Second, you really should show your newest and latest blog posts. Not only does it keep it fresh and new for actual readers, but for SEO purposes as well. Google likes fresh content and spiders your blog more often if it knows your blog is updated often. Just doesn’t make sense to randomize or change the natural order of newly posted blogs.
Hope this helps.
How to convert HTML code to a Link in my hotmail email account?
Hi there. Iam using a hotmail account and have set up a reccuring subscription with paypal. Paypal have given me a html code.
I need to email people with the link, but need to know how to convert the code into an actual link, so people do not get these long offkey weird sentences.
Please help
.
Thanks
If the "HTML code" is a URL you may want to keep the link just as it is in plain text. Converting a link to HTML code to a clickable link is a common practice phishers use to hide a bogus URL. Your legitimate email message may look like a scam.
Good luck on your project!

I have a webmaster tools website. I want more free tools. Do you have anyone for me?My web: http://onboom.com?
The free tool s which support some webmasters can build or management theire website.
http://www.crimsoneditor.com – a text editor that does syntax highlighting for html, php, java, asp, perl, and more.
http://www.gimp.org – A free photo manipulation software package.
The firefox browser has tons of extensions that are good for web dev and free. Some I use a ton are the color picker, the web dev toolbar (outlines divs, table cells, clears the cache, resizes images, etc), the palette creator (will take colors from a web page and load them as swatches in Photoshop). Also, FireFTP, which will allow you to upload your files to a web server.
PHP and MySQL are free, obviously. A great site to get tutorials for that stuff is http://www.phpfreaks.com.

So last time you asked two people told you JavaScript may be your best shot (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20081128145145AAwAqIE ), and now you’re asking how to do it using PHP, a server-side scripting language that takes input from a web page in large chunks?
JavaScript *is* just about the only thing that may be able to do this, because it is a scripting language that runs on the user’s PC and allows for some means of interactivity…
