Try SIW run it and go to secrets on the left.

sent check your pm btw, i submitted the sql request it returnes this

visual foxpro! can`t find download link. is it just for msdn subscribers. i think it has to be the sequential row listing if you don`t mind, otherwise it`s a manual copy paste for each file. i`ll pm you a link to the list in about 10min.

thats a little clearer thanx i will dive into the mysql docs when i get chance, i need to learn as much as i can. So if i use CREATE TABLE 'dlls' ( 'file' VARCHAR( 134 ) NOT NULL , 'version' VARCHAR( 138 ) NOT NULL , 'size' VARCHAR( 128 ) NOT NULL ); the table will be the same as this Sorry i mean, like the format, like this; name, version, size AAAAMON.DLL 5.1.2600.0 25 Or AAAAMON.DLL,5.1.2600.0,25 Or (the easyest to put together) Name Version Size A3D.DLL 2.9.0.0 96

Fully rested now, 1. What is a table? do the numbers define the widths of the cells? CREATE TABLE 'dlls' ( 'file' VARCHAR( 134 ) NOT NULL , 'version' VARCHAR( 138 ) NOT NULL , 'size' VARCHAR( 128 ) NOT NULL ); 2. What format does the list need to be in?

lol i see now it`s game over see ya

thats good, not sure what Individual Downloads are? Name, Version and size thats all. got to go now though, need some sleep. I`ll be on 2morow seriously dman can`t thank you enough, your a star.

see, you have started simple then add features later, just like i planned, but, i think it might be best to convert my site to a dynamic one now rather than later. don`t understand any of that and i bet i can`t answer any of em. Here is a mother of a Q for you though, How, exactly, do i create a datebase and have my pages dynamically constructed from it?

i mean like having the most downloaded file at the top going down in decending order and a total download count. just some basic stats like a summary or somthing rather than just reading down a list of 2000 + files. this sounds very interesting. do you mean like i put the file details in a db and then the pages are auto created from the info in the db. I think that is what they do here. In their forum ppl request a file they can`t find and when the admin has found it he says, i have uploaded the file to the server and the website will be updated to show the file at 12:00a.m tonight. just like, all he does is upload the file then everynight the website auotmaticly checks for new files and updates the pages. I have thought about doing that in the past, but, as you know i am just learning the basics and thought it was best to start basic and work my way up. Is it hard though to set somthing like that up? I mean would it take long to learn. It would save a moutain of time in the long run.

fixed, changed localhost to the host name. Check it out. Link This is great but i have 2000 + files that will be monitored. Is there a more advanced way to manage the stats? You are a massive help dman. Thank you.

i saved as count.php uploaded to server and when i load it all that shows is this Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /home/.feliz/freedllboris/freedll.co.uk/count.php on line 7 Could not connect: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

ok thought so, but how is it supposed to work. like i`ve saved it as .htm and .php both dont work.

this happened to me before at statcounter clearing cache and temp files sorted it.

Typical. Erm where do i put server, user, password & db name?

lol i don`t know anyone that speaks like that, i hear you though. Idealy, i would like to bin dreamweaver and just use notepad++. having said that though, building in DW and seing the results in code view helps a lot. and i do use notepad2 aswell. Stats, don`t realy know what`s possible but i would like to see the download count for each file. Cheers

ye i go it working after a bit of a fiddle. now do you know how i can view the statistics? Realy i should go buy a book, i`m sure all this is basic stuff. Thanks dman, where would i be without you Edit, what do you think about this book Amazon Edit 2, Lookin at that code again. i still used $FILES_DIR = $_GET['filedir']; but changed href='download.php?file=A3D.RAR&filedir=A' to href='download.php?file=A3D.RAR&filedir=dll/A/'

dman, you are hilarious thanx, doesn`t seem to work though.

my download folder is called "dll" so i have set the variable in download.php like this, $FILES_DIR = "/dll/"; and my links are therefore, href='download.php?file=A3D.RAR' but if i try to link to a file inside a sub folder inside my download folder. eg,# /dll/A/A3D.RAR the link href='download.php?file=/dll/A/A3D.RAR' or href='download.php?file=/A/A3D.RAR' won`t work. Is there any way to make this work or can i only link to files in the root of my specified download folder?

matrix0978, have you thought of writing that tutorial out again, it would be realy usefull for me, and others i think. I`m trying http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/33867.html but can`t get it to work properly. I can link to a file in the specified download folder but it won`t work if i link to a file that is in a folder inside the specified download folder. Also i can`t figure out how to view the download statistics. Any help appreciated. it`s got me

mzar720, Thanx, i`m glad you like it.

Ok WoRdUp48 you`ve talked me into it Check it out... tell me what you think.

You are the master script finder, thank you i will give it a go, dman refered to his site earlyer i was wondering if that was it in his sig. LOL your site looks ok, though in the second paragraph "your" should be "you" Thanks for your help

carefull who you are calling caveman, i`ll hunt you down and eat you for dinner. that cgi script looks ok but liquidplasmaflow PHP script idea is interesting, even though i don`t understand PHP. I`m going to go through this tutorial tomorrow. BTW is your site the one in your sig?
