$m = new MongoClient();

[deadeye536]

Is Mongo running and listening on that port? It took me half an hour to figure out Redis wasn't even running once.

[01271]

Yep, it's turned on. Checked. Doesn't work though.

Thanks for helping me on Steam eternalflamez!

Does it send the email that states the donation was a success, though?
Can't really see anything wrong with the sql, or the script, have you tried turning on error_reporting to E_ALL?

Maybe I'm a bad reader, but what is it supposed to do?
And does it return an error?

[del]Also, consider mysqli. It won't fix it, just make it more secure.[/del]

[Coment]

You should use PDO or MySQLi...
Also, might look like nitpicking, but why do you call itemnumber something that is going to be a name?
(Because it's a name what you're posting, and not a number that you reference with a name, ala
0 > Perm VIP
1 > 1h VIP
etc... right?)
EDIT: In fact, this could be easier if you put the values of $_POST

Hi everyone, I'm getting annoyed with this error I'm getting and I don't understand why it's happening.

Here's my JavaScript:

11 var innercontainer = document.getElementById("psinnercontainer");
12 var outtercontainer = document.getElementById("pscontainer");
13 
14 var outterwidth = outtercontainer.style.width;

This should work, works for me on jsfiddle. The error means that your line of code with

document.getElementById("pscontainer");

Finds no element with that id, so it has no 'style' property.

We managed to solve this. Apparantly his user account does not have rights to use mysql_real_escape_string at the part of:

mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['item_number']);

So we are using addslashes instead.

Maybe if you see all the JavaScript it will help?

<script type="application/javascript">
var xposition = 0;
var direction = true;
var innercontainer = document.getElementById("psinnercontainer");
var outtercontainer = document.getElementById("pscontainer");

var outterwidth = outtercontainer.style.width;
var innerwidth = innercontainer.style.width;

xposition = outterwidth - innerwidth;

innercontainer.style.left = xposition + "px";

var distance = innercontainer.offsetLeft;

setInterval(update,10);

function update() {
    xposition-=1;
    innercontainer.style.left = xposition + "px";
    
}

</script>

And might it have something to do with my style sheet?

[HTML]
#pscontainer{
position:relative;
width:912px;
height:120px;
overflow:hidden;
}

#psinnercontainer{
position:relative;
height:120px;
width:1400px;
}

.ps-imagecontainer{
position:relative;
margin-right:4px;
float:left;
border:#999 solid 1px;
height:120px;
width:170px;

function update() {

I added parseFloats to the part where you get xposition, and some style so the divs actually have widths, [del]but couldn't figure out what your problem is, since it doesn't work. Are you running that javascript on the same page as the html?[/del]
Here's my running version: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22510918/test.html[/url]

Edit: Try placing the javascript below your html. When it's placed above the html, the div doesn't exist yet, the js can't find it yet, and throws an error.

Thank you so much, that fixed it.

Sorry if this isn't the proper thread, but I have an imageboard that's currently hosted by an extremely incompetent hosting company. They're so incompetent that I can't even pay this years bill because their website is completely broken and their customer support is non-existent.

So I need a new host that's around $110 or so annually, and can support 178 gbs (and growing) of bandwidth a year. Disk space isn't as important, but I would like at least 6-10 gbs which should be more than enough for several years. There is a modest amount of NSFW content on a hidden board, so I would also need a host that doesn't get steamed about that sort of thing. Also, I prefer cpanel (if that even matters).

I've taken a look at lithium hosting, but I didn't like the sound of their TOS.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, as the site will be shut down by the end of month if I can't figure something out.

You could get a [URL="http://codotvu.com"]free domain at Co.Vu[/URL] And point it towards [URL="http://www.appfog.com"]AppFog's free pricing tier[/URL]. When you use AppFog your PHP app runs on a subdomain like so: yourapp.aws.af.cm

Send two messages

Or, you can not write anything before sitename.tk (which should send it if you do not copy and paste.)

I've been working on a site recently that makes use of data bought in from a database to add records etc.

I've been using drop down lists of the desktop to make it easy for users to find what they want by scrolling or typing what they need. This works great on the desktop however not so great on a tablet.

Currently scrolling down in them is ridiculous on a touchscreen and takes so much time, and the potential usage on a tablet would be a killer feature.

[B]How can I make these large drop down lists more accessible to a tablet and maybe even desktop users?[/B]

Information:

These lists contain many, many strings like W0T5.

Something like above is what I think I would use.
Are the options outputted with the page or are they retrieved with an AJAX call?
Let me know and I can tailor my above code for you if either be.
