Where is the data for the file properties stored? You can find out when a file was created, when it was edited, and you can also keep descriptions of the file. However, this data does not seem to show up as hard drive space that is taken. If you create a text file with one character, it will still have all the file properties listed but only be 1 byte in size. Also, when you open the file in any type of text editor you will not see the property data. Are all of the file properties hidden within the file, or are they stored in a central location within the operating system?

Thanks, Moo. I got everything working except for the redirect code. Is there any other redirect code I could use within the PHP code? There will be other code on the page too, and I want the redirect code to be within an If...Then statement.

Ok, I think I got it. All I need now is a redirect code to add to the PHP files. How can I get it to redirect to another URL?

Good.

Sorry, maybe it would have been more helpful if I explained more in my first post. It will be like a banner exchange. The text file will be used to keep track of how many credits a user has. When somebody displays another banner on their site, it will add a credit to their account. When their banner is displayed on another web site, it will subtract a credit from their account. I will have it setup with a rotator. If it rotates to a certain banner, it will subtract a credit from that account and then redirect to the banner. If it rotates to a banner without any credits, it will just keep going back to the rotator URL until it finds an account with credits.

I know the server has PHP support, so that would be good. I will just need to have a URL that has a code that would increase a number in a text file. I will also need a different URL that would decrease the same number. I also need a separate URL that will check the number, and then redirect to an HTML page if the number is greater than 0, or redirect to another page if the number is 0. Edit: Ok, thanks Moo. I didn't see your post when I first made this post, but I'll try out your code and see if it works.

I don't know very much about programming, so I need a little help with something I'm working on. I want to upload a text file on a server that will contain a number. Whenever a certain web page is loaded, a code on that page will increase that number by one. If different page is loaded, a code on the different page will subtract that number by one. I also want an IF...Then code to put on a page so a certain action will happen if the number is greater than 0. If the number is greater than 0, the page will redirect to a certain URL, or if the number is 0 the page will redirect to a different URL. I hope I was able to explain what I want to do without making it sound too confusing. Can anybody please help me? Thanks.

Yes I did. She said "no" and warned me to never ask her again. Have you seen my thread named, "dating"? I go into a lot more detail there. It's a very long thread, and much of it's either insane or depressing so you probably don't want to read the whole thing. Just go to page 11 and post #219 for a brief explanation of what happened.

That's just something that I can't understand. If I ever go out on a date, I would need that personality connection. I have to feel like I actually know that person, and that she understands me. I would be happier with a girl who is a true friend, even if she never kisses me, than I would be having a ton of different girlfriends who I never get the chance to really know.

Right, it was a conversation that really happened. I suppose the pick-up line part was, "You're a beautiful angel." Actually, I'm not really sure if it was a pick-up line or not. I guess it was the truth because I do think she looks like a beautiful angel... Well, I don't think it really worked because she never would go out on a date with me. But, it was still worth it just to see her smile!

What do you mean? There were three people sitting at the table when I said that. Me, the girl I like, and one of the girl's best friends. I told the girl, "You're a beautiful angel." She didn't say anything, but she just smiled. Then the girl's friend told me, "Wow! You have some great pick-up lines." Then I replied, "Huh? Oh, that wasn't a pick-up line. I was just telling the truth." After that, the girl I like smiled again and said, "Aww..." Then that was the end of the conversation, and we started talking about something else.

Well, we are only going to have one server to share files and everything. There will only be 5 users at the office with the server, and I don't think the number of users there will grow. However, the company does have other offices with computers. There are probably around 30 total users at all of the offices combined. The company plans to link all of the offices together over the Internet, and keep all of the user accounts on the server. Will they need Windows XP Pro and an Active Directory to do this?

Well... I've never had a girlfriend so my pick-up lines must not be very good. Anyway, here's a conversation I had with the girl I like. Me: You're a beautiful angel. Girl: (Smiles) Girl's Friend: Wow! You have some good pick-up lines. Me: Huh? Oh, that wasn't a pick-up line. I was just telling the truth. Girl: Aww...

Can you please explain what exactly is an Active Directory?

The company I work for currently has Windows XP Home edition on their computers. They want to upgrade to Windows XP Pro because they've been told it will give them better control over what employees can do on the computers. They want to lock all web sites besides ones required for work, and they want to prevent employees from installing games and other programs on the computers. I'm really not sure how upgrading to Windows XP Pro is going to help them. I think you can create a limited account to prevent people from installing programs, but isn't that already on Windows XP Home edition? I feel that upgrading to Windows XP Pro would be a waste of money, but I really don't know all the features of Windows XP Pro. Can you please give me your opinion? Thanks.

Li-ion cells can be quite dangerous. I've heard that if they explode, you should never clean it up with water. If you use a wet paper towl or cloth, I've heard that it will burn you very badly because the contents react with water. There was something else I was reading that explained why you should never use a Li-ion cell without the protective circuitry. I can't remember what it said. Does anyone else know?

Sorry, I guess this is getting a little off-topic. Don't worry, I'll create a new thread when the book is closer to being released. It will be a while because I haven't even finished writing it yet. After that, it will need to be edited and published. It might be out in about 3 months. Well, I don't think my best friend or her friends are like that. I think that my best friend is the most beautiful girl that ever lived, but she doesn't seem to think so. She's actually told me that she isn't very happy with her appearance. Can you believe that? How can someone so beautiful be unhappy with the way she looks? Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either. When people go on a date, they should try to get to know each other's personalities better. How could a guy get to know a girl's real personality if she's drunk? That's the best joke I've heard in a long time! I see no reason for this thread to be locked. Many of us are having an interesting conversation, and I think this thread is very educational for teenagers. If you choose not to participate in this thread, that's your choice. However, you can always look here if you need good dating advice.

No, this won't be like The Da Vinci Code. Although they might have some similarities, I've been working on this book before reading The Da Vinci Code or seeing the movie. The secrets in my book will be much easier to prove as being true.

Well, I guess they are all happy with their boyfriends and enjoy talking about them. I would probably understand if I had a girlfriend. In fact, if I did have a girlfriend I would probably talk about her all the time. It's going to be about secrets of Christianity. The book itself will be fiction, but it will be based on true facts. It will definitely give people something to think about. I guess not. That's usually all most people talked about in school.

I think you are probably right. In fact, some of her friends might wonder why I rarely say anything around them. While I try to have a friendly conversation with them, I often don't know how to contribute to the conversation. What can I say when they spend 99% of the time talking about their boyfriends? I definitely do not want a boyfriend, and I've never had a girlfriend, so I really can't contribute much to a conversation about relationships. Now that you mention it, it would make sense why she might not say much to me around her friends. Anything I would want to talk about would probably seem boring or confusing to her friends. Usually her friends said stuff like, "My boyfriend and I are so happy! We must be the happiest couple in the world! We are going to be together forever!" Now, what could I say to something like that? The only thing I could say would be "Yeah... We'll see how happy you are in a few months. When you come to lunch crying, I'll be the one laughing!" Wow, that was a little mean. It's after 1:00 am and I better go to bed because I'm starting to sound like a cranky old man.

How many spaces do you think should go after the period in a paragraph? I always thought you were supposed to use two spaces. However, I am writing a novel and my publisher says that there should only be one space. I looked on their web site, and they always use only one space between sentences. How many do you think should be used? It really doesn't matter for my novel, because I will format it according to my publisher's guidelines. However, I'm just curious to know how many spaces most people use.

No, thanks. I think I'm done seeking new advice for this issue. I mean, we already graduated and won't see each other in school anymore. I told her that I don't want to lose her as a friend, and I hope we can hang out somewhere this summer, or at least talk to each other sometime. She told me that she would probably talk to me this summer, and she has my e-mail address. The only thing left for me to do is wait and see if she e-mails me. Interesting... Do you think my best friend was worried about getting hurt when I asked her out? I don't think so, because I was always much nicer to her than most guys. I tried to cheer her up when another guy dumped her, and I always said nice things to her. I was always nice to everyone, so I can't imagine why she would be worried about me hurting her feelings later. Well, I think I answered many of those questions for her while I was trying to ask her out. I told her I thought she was the nicest and most beautiful girl I ever met. I said she was the only girl I ever liked, and the only girl I would go out on a date with. I also said I was tired of seeing guys break her heart, and I thought she deserved to be with a guy who would treat her with the respect she deserves. Wow... Having a friend for 10 years is a very long time. If you two are really close friends, maybe you could talk on the telephone. If not, a birthday card or even a present sounds like a great idea. I bought my best friend a present for her birthday, and it made her very happy. I'm not sure if it increased our friendship, but I think it was worth it just to see her smile. Yes, but I don't want to put too much effort into it because that would just end up annoying her. I think that might be true. I don't think so because we used to make "petty conversation" all the time when it was just the two of us. We used to have all types of conversations, not just the serious and deep conversations. However, she never said very much to me when all of her other friends were around.

Hi everyone. I know I haven't replied in a while, but I've been really busy with graduation and everything. I did see her at graduation, but I didn't have much of a chance to talk to her. We just walked past each other as we were leaving the school. I told her goodbye, and I also thanked her for being such a great friend. She smiled and said, "I'll probably talk to you this summer." After that, we just walked away. I'm glad that she said that, and I hope I do hear from her. I guess I've done everything that I can do. I let her know that I didn't want to lose her as a friend, and I hope we can hang out somewhere this summer. The only thing I can do now is wait and see if she e-mails me. Everyone knows that I'm a guy and I never act gayish. I think the reason she forgot I was a guy was because of the way we were talking to each other. She had just broken up with a guy, and I was trying to cheer her up. I told her it was all his fault, and not hers. Then I said that most guys act stupid and are the reason why many couples breakup. I guess that's something that a girl would normally say, so she just forgot I was a guy when she told me that all guys deserve to die. She was really sad at the time, so maybe she wasn't thinking as clearly as she normally does. I agree. Although she never did tell me what she really thinks about me, I think she trusted me a lot and considered me to be her friend. There were many things that she told me that I never heard her tell other guys. I'm sure the reason was because she really trusted me as a friend. However, the only time we really had good conversations was when it was just the two of us. When her other friends were around, she always talked to them instead and never said much to me. I'm not sure if it was because she thought they were better friends than I was, or because she didn't want everyone to know that she considered me to be her friend. Do you have her e-mail address or street address? If I was you, I would try sending her an e-mail or letter. Actually, I think many people here can probably relate to my situation. For example, RedAlert was in almost the exact same situation a little while ago. The only difference was that his friend got really upset when she found out that he liked her, and she didn't seem to want to be his friend anymore. The girl I've been talking about still wanted to be my friend, but she just didn't want to go out on a date with me. I think this does show that all people will react differently. I guess my best option would have been to talk to one of her friends. However, that friend would have told her that I was asking about her. I think the girl might be mad if she found out I was talking about her behind her back. Yes, I plan to do all of that. If I don't hear from her soon, I'll probably just send her an e-mail asking how her summer is going, and just to make sure that she is ok.
