I have 3 basic questions.  I did a few Google Searches for this data and could not find anything substantion.

What options are available to somewho who wants to send notifications to a Desktop PC (main thing), Android phone, and maybe a few other phone types.  The main thing I need to figure out is about desktop notifications. I heard that GMail was about to release this feature soon, so I know there must be options out there for it.  Are there any options, besides a standard custom desktop application development?

What are your feelings regarding Linux desktop distros, and their ability to break through to mainstream usage? I started using Ubuntu about 6 or 7 years ago, and have fooled around with some other distros, but at least for me Ubuntu always seemed the best. I've got my 65 year old mom using it, and my 11 year old son playing with Kubuntu (and learning python!). I don't really consider us normal though; normal being almost too dumb to do more than check email and get on the internet.   I've managed to fully switch over to Ubuntu on all of my computers, with the exception of running Windows in a VM for Photoshop and Illustrator. Since I don't use those programs every day, there are a lot of days where I don't see Windows. I never really had a problem with Windows, except for Windows 3.1 was kind of a drag. Getting on the internet on a 56K modem on Windows 95 wasn't any fun either, but that wasn't Windows' fault. I never had the crashes and bad experiences people like to claim makes Windows suck. My main reason for abandoning Windows is just to be more involved with Linux, and hopefully reach Linux guru status someday.   I really never liked Macs. I bought one 3 or 4 years ago, and it just felt like I was paying a lot of money for a glorified (and over-hyped) linux distro. I really never liked the feel of the Finder. At the time there was no awesome text editor, and I bought a couple just to test out what I could find. Unlike Windows and Linux, it seemed like nothing is free in the Mac world. I eventually gave the Mac away. We couldn't be friends.   I'd really like to see Linux become the dominant OS. It's exciting to see how far Ubuntu has come in the years that I've used it, and I evangelize for Linux/Ubuntu quite a bit. Even still, it can sometimes seem that I am a stranger in a strange world. Do you think we can count on Linux being a bigger part of mainstream computing? One of the problems I see is that there are so many distros that a person investigating Linux may be a little overwhelmed. What do you think is keeping the masses from using Linux desktops?

Hi all   I am using media queries in my css to create a responsive site, when I view the site on a mobile, the site responds as I intend it to.   However if I view it on a desktop and resize the screen, it doesn't respond as I would like, the idea is, if I resize  the desktop version enough then I will view the mobile version.   in one css file I have  

 
@media screen and(max-width: 1024px) {
 
css styles
 
}

  and then on another file, I have the following, the idea with this is when I get below the specified screen size the items don't show  

@media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {
 
}

  if you need any more info let me know.   Thanks   Mark

Hi,   I have a booking form that displays fine on a desktop and other mobile devices, except on an iPhone 5. Does anyone know what could cause this? I know javascript is working on the iPhone, but not sure why the form isnt displaying.   Thanks

Hello folks, 

So, not sure where to start, but I'm wondering if it's at all possible to change a prepared statement / sql based on whether or not we're displaying for desktops, or for smartphone/tablets? I'm not sure what to start looking at since I'm pretty new in PHP and all... 

I've managed to figure out how to change CSS if I'm on phone 

@media only screen and (max-width: 767.98px){
  // PUT CSS FOR PHONES...
}

Any directions on how I would change my SQL, would be awesome! I'd like to narrow down the columns returned if I'm on phone, otherwise breaks my pages looks too much...

Much thanks in advance!

Pat

Hello everyone, I am working on a form that is similar to a shopping cart system and I am thinking of creating a button that submits the checked value and saves them to a $_SESSION variable. And also a link that links to a cart.html that takes the values of a $_SESSION variable. I am have trouble figuring what tag/attribute should I use in order to achieve that.   Right now my code attached below submits the checked values to cart.html directly. However I want my submit button to save the checked box to a $_SESSION variable and STAY on the same page. And then I will implement a <a> to link to the cart.php.   I researched a little bit about this subject and I know it's somewhat related to ajax/jquery. I just wanted to know more about it from you guys. I appreciate your attention for reading the post and Thanks!   Below is the form that I currently have:

<form name= "finalForm" method="POST" action="cart.php">
<input type="Submit" name="finalSelected"/>

<?php foreach($FinalName as $key => $item) {?>
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="fSelected[]" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($FinalID[$key])?>" />
<?php echo "$FinalID[$key] & $item";?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php } ;?>

Below is the code for cart.php

<?php
require ('connect_db.php');
if(isset($_POST['finalSelected']))
{
	if(!empty($_POST['fSelected']))
	{
		$chosen = $_POST['fSelected'];
		foreach ($chosen as $item)
			echo "aID selected: $item </br>";
		$delimit = implode(", ", $chosen);
		print_r($delimit);
	}

}
if(isset($delimit))
{
$cartSQL = "SELECT * from article where aID in ($delimit)";
$cartQuery = mysqli_query($dbc, $cartSQL) or die (mysqli_error($dbc));
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($cartQuery, MYSQLI_BOTH))
{
	$aTitle[] = $row[ 'name' ];
}
}
?>

<table>
	
		<?php if(isset($delimit)) { 
		$c=0; foreach($aTitle as $item) {?>
		<tr>
		<td>
			<?php echo $aTitle[$c]; $c++;?>
		</td>
		</tr>
		<?php }}?>
</table>

HOw to create this header?     I give +. thx http://i.snag.gy/15Ep4.jpg

hi, I'm currently trying to resize and create pictures and .jpg/jpeg & .gif works perfectly but .png just creates an empty 0bit image, why?!

Code: [Select]
$ = imagecreatefrompng();
imagecopyresampled();
imagepng();

I'm doing something like that and it - as said - works great with .jpg and gif but at png it just fucks up. :/
