    replied to how do you reference to a external .html file to place it into multiple pages?
    in HTML CSS
    Ya if you have it php works wonderfully.

    Code:
    <?php include("filename.html"); ?>

      replied to transparent text within a coloured box
      in HTML CSS
      I've seen the effect on a number of signs / billboards etc, but never on a site. It might not work out but part of me wants to at least give it a try.

      I'm guessing though that it is not possible to make the letters completely transparent, while having their bounding box a solid colour.

        transparent text within a coloured box

        Hey guys, not sure if this is possible with css, but I have a photographic background for a website, and would like to create text that is completely transparent so that the background shows through each letter.

        The letters will be contained within a white box. I don't think this is possible (I've tried a couple different ways I can think of) but can anyone let me know definitively?

        Cheers,
        James

            Cool I'll give that a shot.. I had originally gone there to find the solution, and ended up using the one that is posted 2 down from there as the guy claims the original code was wrong.

            I'll try out that code and see how she goes.

            Thanks a bunch!

              What up friends, I'm using this little function to parse hyperlinks in plain text and convert them into links. It goes like so
              Code:
              private function hyperlink($text) {
		// match protocol://address/path/
	    $text = ereg_replace("[a-zA-Z]+://([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*", "<a href=\"\\0\">\\0</a>", $text);
	
	    // match www.something
	    $text = ereg_replace("(^| )(www([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*)",
              ...

                in PHP
                Figured it out... Digg's api requires any access from a script to have a user agent set... Just added this to the top of the page and she works like a charm
                Code:
                ini_set('user_agent','ilovejames/1.0');

                  What's up guys. I'm having some issues... I've created a method as part of my lifestreaming class which takes an rss feed, and puts the data into a database... It's fairly simple... Check it....
                  Code:
                  /////
// feed
//
// LOADS THE RSS FEED FOR
// LOOPS THROUGH AND FORMATS/FILTERS POSTS
// PULLS THE TIMESTAMP OF THE LATEST UPDATE FROM THE DB
// IF THERE ARE NEW POSTS, ADD THEM TO THE DATABASE
/////
                  ...

                      I'm certainly no expert, but it looks to me like your code is sound.
                      Seems to me like php is not communicating with mySql... Which I'm not the person to ask how to fix.

                        What's up guys? I'm making a lifestreaming system for my site which will pull various RSS feeds from Twitter, last.fm, del.icio.us, etc. etc.

                        It's been a while since I've done any webdev but I've got a pretty good idea of how I'm going to go about doing this... Basically:
                        1. Create a class to pull the rss feeds from the various sources
                        2. Have a function for each different rss feed to parse it in a uniform way
                        3. Throw them all into a
                        ...

                            Hey guys, I'm trying to have my website display my latest post from my twitter RSS feed.

                            This is very simple and I accomplished it through this code.

                            Code:
                            <?php
	$twitterxml = simplexml_load_file("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/16428755.rss");
	$tweet = str_replace("jamwil: ", "", $twitterxml->channel->item[0]->title);
	echo $tweet;
?>
