you can use a javascript to achieve that. below is a sample:

I have a website that is developed in PHP and uses MS-Access through ODBC. Is there an easy way to get this running on Linux/MySQL with minimal effort. I understand that I can port it to use mysql_* or ADODB libaries, I am just wondering if there is an easier way.

Also is there a way to generate a .SQL file from Access Database that can then be imported into MySQL (or phpMyAdmin).

Also if you know of a hosting company that provides cheap Windows hosting packages, please let me know. My requirements are:
Email 1-5
Diskspace 25MB or above
PHP
MS-ACCESS

Thanks,
Victor

Collect User Info

I have a web based form to collect the data from the user. I have completed all except few details from the user. I mean the hidden details. How do I take the ip-address related stuffs. I have seen some site-logs that displays the people logged in, their origin, the browser, etc, etc. How do I collect them. How can I know the person's origin(Country/continent)???????

Play with this a bit to see if it helps:

<%
For Each Key in Request.ServerVariables
Response.Write Key & " "

If Request.ServerVariables(Key) = "" Then
Response.Write " <BR>"
Else
Response.Write Request.ServerVariables(Key) & "<BR>"
End If

Next
%>

It should provide a list of all the goodies that each .asp page request from a client generates, according to the text I paraphrased it from. Some of the info you want will be found in REMOTE_ADDR, REMOTE_HOST, REMOTE_USER, ETC. It should also return values with names such as HTTP_ACCEPT (a list of MIME types the client can handle), HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGES (a list of human languages supported), HTTP_USER_AGENT (the browser version, OS, and type of browser), and HTTP_CONNECTION (the type of conection). Some of this is likely to be handy.

Mind you, it's about 2:00 AM, I haven't slept in two days, and I'm definitely not alert enough to try it for you, but it's a start.

Where does the country info come from???

That information isn't in the headers, or important to the concept of a World Wide Web. You may be able to make some reasonable guesses from the domain name and language information, but generally I doubt that; the idea of country codes hasn't caught on much. You could do better by doing a WHOIS search on the remote host domain, then scanning the data for an admin address, but in most cases that won't help much. Most ISPs own large IP address blocks, so the info would be misleading.

A possibilty, though, is to write a script to return the locale id (LCID) of the client computer and return it to the server, but I haven't a clue how to do that. The Session Object in ASP contains a Session.LCID property, but it refers to the content to be served by the web server, not the client.

Perhaps it would be simpler to ask?

Aw.. give a guy a break, David! Every book on ASP or ADO, every article I've found on MSDN, uses VBScript exclusively. I've got jobs that need to get out the door, not wait on me to figure out, without any guidance or references, how to make Javascript work. Your forum is the only useful Javascript code I've got to study above the "Hello World! Aren't you feeling foolish about buying this worthless book?" level.

You're welcome to the keys, though. I've got a full set of lockpicks (working for Ace Hardware presented some unique buying opportunities) and know how to use them. Big Grin | :-D

You never mentioned whether you got your app working the way you want it to. How's it going?

I am looking for a slider control which works on Netscape 4+. I have found many which work on IE 4+ but finding one that works with Netscape has been difficult.

Can anyone suggest a good slider control which will work with Netscape, IE and Mozilla?

Thanks in advance.

I guess you could make something in shockwave, then it would work on any browser that supports shockwave (which is most modern ones)

Server paths

I do the following:

strBacsLocation = Request.ServerVariables("APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH") & "dir1\dir2\"

then append the file name (different each time as the GUID from SQL is appended to the end of the filename) as such:

strDate = day(date) & "/" & month(date) & "/" & year(date)
rRunGUID = rstBacs.Fields("RunGUID") 'get the GUID from SQL stored procedure recordset

set FSO = server.CreateObject("scripting.fileSystemObject")
path = strBacsLocation & day(date) & month(date) & year(date) & "-" & rRunGUID & ".txt"

This works great, each day (or run for testing) we get a completely unique text file placed exactly where we want it. My problem is this - it is the absolute path, not the web path. I want to be able to put a hyperlink to the file so the FD can click and see the text file in IE immediately.

So how do I get the "web" path as it were?

Thanks Smile | :)

can't you just remove the front part of the path?

Why not construct the web path, and then use Server.MapPath to get the absolute path:

strBacsWebPath = "/dir1/dir2/"
strBacsWebPath = strBacsWebPath & Day(Date) & Month(Date) & Year(Date) 
strBacsWebPath = strBacsWebPath & "-" & rstBacs.Fields("RunGUID").Value
strBacsWebPath = strBacsWebPath & ".txt"
 
strBacsAbsolutePath = Server.MapPath(strBacsWebPath)
