[QUOTE=Ac!dL3ak;31891574]youre not passing any information on to index.php with that .htaccess, all it's doing is redirecting everyone to index.php[/QUOTE]

but when you dont look at the actual code and just look at the website it looks like it's on a separate page.
You can also config it so it looks like whatever you want it to look like.

I am creating a website with a query system which takes the users input (from a textbox) and inserts it into a sql query to search the database to perform a partial search. Is mysql_real_escape_string alone enough to protect against sql injection attacks?

Use PDO prepared statements instead of the usual PHP MySQL interaction
and do htmlspecialchars on the input

I think that should do it

Linode does have some less common features like LISH though (direct tty access to the VPS through either a web console or SSH).[/QUOTE]

Most VPS providers provide this, too. It's called a "serial console" and it probably does the same thing.

edit: linode does have some other cool features, though

What?

[moonage]

[QUOTE=Alcapwne;31906654]and do htmlspecialchars on the input[/QUOTE]

You should only ever escape data [i]immediately[/i] before transmission over another medium.

This means only ever escape for HTML as you're outputting the HTML, and only ever escape for SQL as you're sticking it into the query (if you don't use PDO)

Two things:

1) Where is a good place (or the best/cheapest place) to buy a domain name from? Is this going to be a monthly/annual charge? I've already heard about Lithium hosting for web hosting so I think I'm set on that, but I figured it'd be a good idea to see what other options are available as far as domain registration is concerned.

2) What's a good client/program that will let me test out html/css/php templates before actually registering hosting and getting a site all set up? I remember when I had a Mac ages ago when I was first learning coding I had two programs called jEdit and MAMP; jEdit let me create/edit files in any possible language, and MAMP made it so that I could view the pages I was creating in my browser. What would be the best equivalents of these for Windows (preferably free)?

Thanks!

Don't know what best coding tool to suggest you but i heard good things about easy php. It emulates a web server on your pc so you can code without worrying about any hosting.

xampp and sublime text

Or wamp.

I finished Rails for Zombies, but the problem is, they only taught you some basics [i]after[/i] it was installed. Is there any tutorial for setting up a rails server on my website?

[Gustafa]

So I just finished making a very basic login system (using a tutorial), you can see it here [url]http://jamglobe.zymichost.com[/url]

username is john
password is 1234

Now I've made it I don't really know how to use it, for example I would quite like to hide that login form on the index page if the user is logged in, but I don't really know how to do it. Is there a place I can find tutorials for this sort of thing? I'm not particularly experienced using PHP.

Use $_SESSION variables.

Follow this, except replace everything with PDO.

Hi guys, I'm from the Programming subforum, and what I'm basically looking for is: What's a good way to get started with HTML5 and Javascript? I know the OO model Javascript uses, and I just want to jump right in, mind helping me?
