Alain:

Try this:

http://www.sperling.com/examples/styleswitch/

The demo jumps from one style sheet to another, but with a little
alteration it could be expanded to solve your problem. It also stores
the user preference in a cookie -- you probably want that as well.

However, it does use a POST in the operation, BUT the switch is so
fast that the user usually doesn't see it added to the url. Try the
above link and see for yourself.

My only concern with this method is that it constitutes an exit trap... For
example, if a user connects to your index page from, say, Google they will
be redirected over to your Ajax page... All good, except if they click Back
to return to the SE page they will immediately bounce back to your Ajax page

Something to consider might be:

I haven't tested it so there is a chance it's fiction :)

Of course, if web standards aren't a concern it makes no difference

It works and if you want it to validate, just enclose the paragraph
in <p></p>, like so:

To bad that php within those tags is read regardless or we would have
an easy way to detect js.

methods discussed focuses on the fact that you are sending this person from
a previous page,eg:index.php to-> contact_us.phpbut what if you are using
AJAX on the first page (eg: index.php)then isnt the " location.href =
'/url/for/ajax/index2/page.php';" the best solution?Cheers!Ryan

        You don't specifically what would change in the "AJAX page" (other than
make use of AJAX) If it's possible, I would recommend you to serve the
normal page and include a snippet to modify its behaviour, so you can
"save the page reloads" (tipical use for AJAX), e.g.
   window.onload = function( ) {
     if ( document.frmTest ) {
       document.frmTest.onSubmit = function( ) {
         // verify values with ajax before submiting
       }
     }
   }
   // "normal version" of the page
This way you only change the behaviour when its supported (of course,
you would also need a verification for Remote Scripting/AJAX support)

And I agree with the others about serving the "normal version" first,
and redirecting via JS (when the behaviour is too different)

First, I would suggest you to re-analize why are you searching in an
array (of course, you're the only here who knows the reason)

Second, you may encounter array_filter() useful, this function uses a
callback user-defined function to "filter" the elements in a given array
and build a second (which is the value it returns), so you may use this
function along with strpos() (or some other)

Dan eluded to a big problem here, regarding the potential "exit trap"
of redirecting a user to a different page. However there's even more
at stake--this solution would require you to manage *two* versions of
your page. Come on, we can do better than that...

What you should do is create your "normal page" as is, and then write
your javascript to "attach" itself to whatever things you want to
AJAXify on that page. Research "unobtrusive javascript", it should
get you in the right direction.

The idea is, you build your page to function normally without any
javascript. Then you attempt to hook up the javascript via your
page's onload event (there are other methods too I believe, Google
it). If javascript is enabled, then the javascript will be hooked in;
if not, then no AJAX will be loaded, but your page will still function
as needed.

HTH,

But he is talking about includes,

Most assuredly the file isn't there (do you have the include path set?)
or the permissions are not sufficient to open the file.

include_path = .:/lib/php

this isnt the correct path for the file!

With your code, I get the exact same error -- however, I don't have
the file nor the correct path.

So, I think you need to check the path. Try putting the following
code in your footer.php and running it directly:

print_r($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);

That will tell you where the script is located.

My guess is that you have a path error somewhere.

it is of int type and auto_increment

i have a few db's which id like to reset to zero i have tried placing a zero
enrty after deleting the lot but it only jumps to its next increment.
does anyone know what i mean...?
any help will be grateful
