Re: Questions

As for the error handler, yes you have to define it in every script, otherwise you get the default. It's easy to put your handler in a separate file, though, and just include() it into any project you have. Check out a phpinfo() page and there are some variables coming from the browser that can give you an idea what langauge to use. Be prepared to offer a default, however, as you're relying on the browser to send this data, which doesn't always happen. As for encryption, check out the mcrypt section of the manual. ---John Holmes...

I hope none are, or sounds like a newie question. (Not saying anything bad to the newies, we were one at one time in our lifes) Thank you. Ok some questions are anwered. I will set my developer server on my machine. I'm using Win98SE for developing work. It's a very good idea and now I have to find out how will I do that. How ever I get the answer of a person about sites. Is on the mailing list. I'll check it. I've checked the set_error_handler(), and I like it. The thing is the follow. I have to include he same code for every script I build, or call the script from other script. This is not a problem but this is another question to avoid calling always the script. When is not defined a new error handler, the program uses its own handler. Is there a way to susbstitute that handler and set my handler, or a generic error page without have to call it from any builded script? I know is trickie to use the user option to chose the prefered language from the visitors system. This site I'm building is to be set for people from different countries in Europe (I won't do all the translations) for diferent languages. Of course I'll use cookies, but for the first visit, the visitor have to receive a welcome in its own language (as described on the specifications for the site, and very requested from the director of the foundation). It will have other language options of course in another way, and will avoid (in some cases) the use of splash pages. This really sounds as a newie comment, but I guessed that the md5 were a two way encription. Does somebody know a secure two way string encryption? (and were to get it) If you use any Yahoo! authentication form (specialy mail or geocities), then you can check on your browser's cache for a .js file. One of them contains a implementation for the md5 encryption based on JavaScript. A friend sended to me the file yesterday. (Sorry for this out topic, but it were a part of my first question.) I'll check the archive of this list. [ :-) ] Thanks to every body to read, and again, I apologize for not disable the request for recepit on my messages. This wont happend again from me.

(I want to know MD5() creates a 32 character hash of a string. There is no way to get the original string or password back. You must use md5() on the password that the user supplies and compare that to the md5() values you have stored.
