Say I have

<person>

<name>Andrew Marsden</name>

</person>

I want to basically take form input process it with PHP and update the XML file.

<person>

<name>Andrew Cornal</name>

</person>

Say like that as an example. I just need to know how to alter an XML value with PHP. Processing forms I'm OK with its more the XML part of things.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

As described I'm literally just starting out in C++. Its not my first time with languages. I am just wondering without having to browse 1000's of pages online if anyone had any advice on a good compiler software for beginners?

Thanks for any help and any other advice if your willing??

Thanks again.

As an example I can download and install drivers but I can't download and install Opera or Firefox or anything from dell to do with driver identification. Can't install these if I copy them over on memory stick either.

I can also install anything that comes on a disk.

I've checked things like firewall completely disabled it and I've checked system time and date all correct

Windows Installer is running and working it just seems to pick what I can and can't install.

Any help thanks

For some reason this version will not allow me to specify where I want to install the files it simply starts installing the moment I click the icon. The installation always succeeds but I would prefer to install an a different drive as C is only a small drive meant for my OS and large files.

Any ideas.

So to clarify this. We have:

10 - Windows 10 machines

10 - Windows XP Pro Machines

1 Windows 7 machine

My question is two part.

Say I backed up one Windows 10 machine and imaged it would that be OK to restore all 9 other Windows 10 machines I'm more concerned about product keys and what not here. Same question for the XP machines.

Secondly am I OK backing these up to the same external HDD we have on the network.

I'm in the midst of creating a website and have planned to use pictures of the people who work for the company but am not up on law as it seems obvious. What are the laws which surround this there are certain extended exceptions I'm working with.

1) People in the images can be (Staff or Volunteers).

2) Certain people in the images are classed as vulnerable adults.

What sort of laws am I looking at here (copyright etc)

My actual approach with my lack of knowledge would more be a release of material notice to the clients in the photos. IE if we ever take a photo have the people in the photo sign a release form for the photos to be used would this be sufficient?

Thanks in advance.

The Scenario

Basically I have a search function that will search a database for what ever the user is typing. My plan was to first search for the full string they entered then explode the sentence and search for each key word for example.

User enters: How to volunteer with some company.

I would search for that full sentence then explode it but I don't want to search the database for words like

"us, i, it, the" etc or even the company name which would return every single page. So basically in this example trimming it down to only "volunteer" and searching for that.

I would like to know how to detect and remove all low level words such as (the, and etc) leaving behind words like (volunteer, member, reception etc). I don't wish for people to spend ages coding a function just to inform me what function I should be using would be more than sufficient.

Any help would be appreciated or if you think I should be doing this another way I would appreciate the input. Thanks

I'm not used to CSS media queries obviously.

I have a mobile menu container which is hidden when the desktop is greater than 800px any less than that the desktop menu hides and the mobile appears.

My problem comes when the mobile menu is activated then the browser is expanded the mobile menu remains I need to be hidden even if its been opened. My media query goes along the lines of

@media (max-width: 800px)

I don't know if I'm using the correct media query or what but any help and advice is welcome and thanks for any input.

Does it harm SEO not to have a robot file?

I have an XML sitemap to aid the SEO.

What I need is a working copy of XP so that I can insert the HDD into another system. We have 4 PC's that are not working with their OS either slow or not working. I am looking at cloning the working PC onto the other PC's hard drives is this possible and how thanks for your help.

When I downloaded the trial from MS website it came in the form of 8 files one of which was the ISO image. I'm fine with burning this to disk to use the problem is what do I do with the rest of the files as I know Windows 2012 needs these files during installation but how do I make them available to the installation process??

I've tried placing them on an external HDD but Windows can't see them yet it can see the HDD.

I've just bought a 5 port Netgear switch its nothing special. The reason I simply want to learn server and network technology. My question is the switch has 5 Ethernet ports the first 4 ports 1-4 are all joined using the same piece of metal why is port 5 separate is this for a reason or an unknown and not needed type thing?

Similar, not the same though, to the one below. But the ports have the same separate switch. The only thing I can thing of is this would more be used for main line in I just want to know things for sure.

I can quite happily produce HTML, CSS and or PHP sheets my confusion comes with CSS media queries and flexible design.

Basically with mobile phones in today's day and age having resolutions easily in excess of 1000 pixels how does a CSS media query work which is detecting 800 pixels. As far as I can see CSS media queries are used for changing the layout when something is about to break. Not for actually building mobile friendly sites as I can't aim for 7,8,900 pixels. As my mobile has a resolution that's not so far below my desktop.

M = 1280 X 720

D = 1360 X 768

And if I recall correctly the new iPhone is 1900 plus

How can I be sure that a mobile user is shown a mobile website using flexi design and media queries or any other method.

Any help and advice clearing up my confusion would be appreciated. Thanks

Its not like a normal input in the description I would want to safely allow commas, apostrophes and more that are also database friendly. I've already got the preg_match working to safely validate other inputs but with a description input I would want it to allow more of these grammatical signs but to do so safely.

How do you go about amending the preg_match function?

Thanks

I understand how these work and what they do but my question is what pixel measurements are a good

choice of switch over point for mobile and tablet?

I planned to have three one for mobile, desktop and tablet.

With tablets and mobiles screens becoming ever more complex and able, I am unaware of what to make my media query look for with regards to browser width.

Any advice on what you do or know would be appreciated.

Thanks

I believe the culprit to be the power supply assuming one thing that the initial power button light is turned on initially by the on board battery saying that basically you've pressed the power button. When the PSU then kicks in it activates all other equipment HDD lights etc.

As mentioned when I press the power button the power light comes on for 3-4 seconds then turns off. No sound is coming from the system which makes me think the PSU is not even turning on.

The problem occurred after a power cable was removed accidentally. I tried an adapter I know to be working in the system but still the same result which again leads me to believe its the PSU and not the cable is at fault.

My question is do you, by how its described arrive at a different conclusion?

Thanks for the advice.

What I am wondering is. I have a PHP file all it has in it is just one variable and variable content. My question would be could I pull this variable content into a PHP read function then preg_match it to alter the PHP variables content.

The reason its just a variable on its own is the variable is the current VAT rate. I understand the alternative would be to use a text file but that would mean altering the sites content on several pages if it can be done this way I'd rather give it a go.

Thanks in advance

What I'm after is not a slideshow first and for most although is closely linked to one its for a game. And when an image is clicked the image will turn from yellow to blue if clicked again it would go from blue to red and finally click it again it would go red back to yellow.

There are around 25 of these images times that by three so 75 small images on screen each set of three need to cycle on their own with no effect to the other images.

I would know how to make a working code which rotates 1 set of three images and make it repeat for all 75 but what I'm after is a guiding hand to get me started on being able to rotate 1 set of 3 images so one shape from yellow - blue - red that's it.

Any ideas thanks for the help.

I'm developing a website for a company I work for as a favour. I have pretty much done but one thing I've noticed is the Google maps works fine for desktops and laptops etc but on touch devices when you try to zoom in IE the pinch movement it zooms the entire webpage. Is there any way to get it just to zoom the maps instead of the webpage?

Thanks for any help.
