.htaccess made me crazy!!!

I totally hate htaccess! And it hates me! htaccess and i have an agreement: It just works if i set it up, and i don’t gonna set it up more often as necessary ;)

Seen in dirk home page (?)

hahaha...You hate it?
I found it more usual when I become more smart;-)
Because all I did was adding one htaccess file.


When do you use htaccess file?
You make "a vitual sever" in your computer?
Hey! you know? I can't make that one in my Mac.

I use htaccess on my blog and on several websites, and all i do is defining a rule, that example.com/blah get wrapped to example.com/index.php?site=blah (and yes, i check, if this is okay and no stuff like “../../../somesystemfile”).

But i still don’t like it.

I sometimes visit your blog.(it takes long time to read,actually. You like coding and writing.)
Ah..what web site do you recommend to learn PHP or Ajax?
I think I try to make original templete for my blog this year.

For me it was learning by doing: I decided to lern PHP because it’s so much easier to manage big websites with PHP instead with plain HTML. Then i made my way through php.net (thier function glossary is great!).

There are some newsgroups for PHP, too (most ISPs give newsgroup access with the internet acces contract, just ask them, so you maybe do not need to get one from another company).

MAking themes for WordPress is easy too, they have a good listing for all so-called “template tags” at thier “codex”-site at codex.wordpress.org

I always start new themes by taking the current “classic” theme shipped with wordpress (they use almost all available template tags in this theme, the “default” theme is just a shiny markeding theme with limited functionality *g*) and removing all html stuff, so that there are only the plain template tags and then i start to build my theme “around” the tags.

>For me it was learning by doing
This is great! I've seen some people say "we are not professionals so I can't make this" and never tried even simple coding.
But...each professonal starts from simple basic one?

I'll check “codex”-site at codex.wordpress.org
and sometimes posting some ideas what I want to do or see how iper poeople think about.
I would be glad if you add your comments (if you like)

Let's keep in touch with me

There are always people saying “you cant’t do”, but eventually there will come someone. This person just does it, because he does not know, that he can’t do.

People should not be that anxious about the things. Especially in the IT i see this every day. If people have to use a computer they don’t know (well, not because it runs Linux, but only because it’s not her personal computer), they sometimes not even WANT to click the start menu button – Maybe they think, the start menu button on this computer has a special functionality, it not opens the start menu, it destroys all data *lol*

“Just click! It’s astart menu button and no end-of-the-world button! You know this from your PC at home!” ;)

And even in Linux you just can’t destroy data with one single click (well, you CAN actually: if you redirect the output of /dev/input/mice to /dev/sda while you’re root. If you use your mouse now, your harddisk gets screwed up …)

It’s the same thing with webdesign. If it not works, what will happen in worst case? Well, it could plain not work, or it will look not as expected. No one will die because of the tries for a new WordPress theme ;)

It’s an old slogan, but it’s still present: “just do it!” :)

I think you are one of positive person.
OK, I will do "create my own WordPress theme"

btw Have you ever tried FLASH? and...

+1 I ...think it doubtful whether UNIX is used for private use.
too much ...ah...too musch thing to do for one person to use home.
What for people use UNIX at home I am curious.

Yes, you are right.
But...the coding editor for Mac is not flexible.
I met mi at last and found out my encoding is wrong.

And Apache usually works well at Windows but ...I am not sure it works at Mac.

what text editor are you using for os x?

i recommend, textmate or coda.

I am using coda,too.
Coda is nice!!

you should try textmate as well. i think i like it better than coda. either is fine though.
macromates.com

WOW! It looks nice! Thank you,I will have a try 30th trial.

Is an own server something special? :)

NO, No,I don't need my own sever in my house.
I said I changed more reasonable rental server (19.29 Euro per year) which is in safe mood due to protect itself from arranging by the cliants.
This server doesn't allow you to make an autmatic creating file, nor replacing nor adding new files.

Because on the server, I have PHP file which is,
<?php

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES["upfile"]["tmp_name"])) {
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["upfile"]["tmp_name"], "files/" . $_FILES["upfile"]["name"])) {
chmod("files/" . $_FILES["upfile"]["name"], 0644);
echo $_FILES["upfile"]["name"] . "done";
} else {
echo "No, you can't upload the file";
}

?>

This PHP file is waiting you adding new files but that server does not allow you to do, "files" was empty all the time! DDDD:!
I asked the support but it was not much suggestion wothout paying extra.And I found out the new server applys CGI instead of a module edition PHP.
So I needed to "use PHP as CGI"

so I wrote the following on a text fime. (.txt)

AddHandler application/x-httpd-phpcgi .php

That's all.

The reason why I need a better script editor is....here in Japan, there is a lot of free, nice, simlple text editores for Win made by Uni students, Programmers but few for Mac.

TextMate is good one!! It has useful features as Dreamweaver but much more reasonable.

+1 Using Mac does not bother you just Editing text, scripts but you can't make "test environment" in your computer at home.

Hm now I know...in this situation, people might use UNIX OS. but..I don't think I need.

Have you tried “$_GET($_FILES);” instead of “$_FILES” only?

No, I haven't.
“$_GET($_FILES);”
Hm...is it useful? I think I need to learn more..;-)

In PHP 5 they changed a lot of the handling. I didn’t use the files upload stuff since forever, but i know, that you need to use “$_GET” for accessing variables submitted via input form and the get-functionality or the post-functionality (in this case you need to use “$_POST”).

This gives access to an associative array (key names are derived from the input field names). If you have an input field “name” in your form, and submit in via the post functionality, you have to access the value of this field in the script via $_POST[name]. (and as you see, ( and ) are nonsense in my first post *g*).

Maybe the file handling is done in the same way?

I see.

I'll take your suggestion next time I make my own templete for WP.
I have more 5 days before I get start to new job so I'll have some time to be absorbed in this;-)

Thank you Dirk.

New job … mmmh … good luck and have fun!
