If the queries and the web service are both well-designed, you should be sending back roughly the same data in both cases, with the web service giving you an opportunity to cleanly separate the client from the inner workings of the DB (with the potential for optimized queries, caching, etc. that come with such orthogonal design). So my guess is that the web service is poorly implemented, or you're not using it for the purpose it was intended. In that case, i don't see much of a point in bothering with it.

Hi Everybody,
I wanted to know How to compress or Zip a file in Asp Classic.
I wanted to zip a file which is kept on web server.
Is there any technique to do this?

Why are we getting ASP "classic" questions here? Is there a big "kick us" sign somewhere that i'm not seeing?

Nothing built in. ASP 'classic' ( which makes it sound a lot nicer than it is ) was VBSCript, so do things the VB way - buy C++ code to do the real work :P

I have a web page which takes two arguments and refreshes itself to get many values from database using servlet. Am using html and javascript as front end. It should implement ajax technology thereby it updates the web page without reloading the page.

Correct.

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my question, but here goes. I have no problem with using dream weaver or note pad to edit my websites. However, if I want to allow someone who does not know a single HTML tag to maintain his/her own site after I create one for him/her, that would be a problem. What free CMS (content management system) out there will allow me to achieve my goal? I would like WYSIWYG as one of the features and also drag and drop capability to allow dragging and dropping of different web elements. I have seen many free ones but they did not satisfy my needs. Please point me to ones that are user friendly and have all of what I have mentioned above. Any suggestions would be great, thank you in advance for your help.

Not knowing what kind of website you want to implement suggestions are hard to make. Have you tried Joomla?

Hallo. I'm actually working on a gig where my client uses DotNetNuke (DNN). It is free/open source, though doubtless the hosting and any personal tech support is what adds cost.
DNN is an open source CMS built on ASP.Net, snd so far, I'm finding that it works fairly well, comes with several basic skins and choices of other free/low-cost skins, etc. You can add security, create different portals (such as using it as your CMS of choice for multiple clients with different website addresses), etc.
As for the WYSIWYG part, DNN has FCKEditor (FE) built in for that, so you will need to study FE to work out minor CSS issues brought on by slight conflicts between the built-in DNN Stylesheet Editor and the FE syles and config files. Looks pretty easy if you have access to the full directories (which as a contractor I do not). Check it out:
DotNetNuke:
[^]
FCKEditor: www.fckeditor.net/[^]
Good luck!!

Hi.
I have been trying to customise osCommerce to match the colour scheme the client (a friends mother) wanted (lime green, pink and purple, managed to convince that pink is all thats needed), which has all gone fine so far, except for the fact osCommerce keeps throwing this warning "Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: C:\\Inetpub\\vhosts\\krazykrafters.co.nz\\httpdocs\\oscommerce/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.". I understand the problem, but despite hours of trying various file permission combinations for the file, it still there. It would be nice if plesk was more like cpanel and you could do something like [rwx--xrw-] but it doesnt.
Anyone with experience in plesk able to help?

Can you access the shell through plesk? If not you could just write a PHP script to change the permissions for you.

The .NET 3.5 Enhancements Training Kit covers the technologies in the .NET 3.5 SP1 release and the out of band releases that are a part of the same wave, namely ASP.NET MVC and the ASP.NET Silverlight controls. Currently, the training kit contains six hands-on labs, made up of the following technologies:
- ADO.NET Data Services
- ADO.NET Entity Framework
- ASP.NET AJAX History
- ASP.NET Dynamic Data
- ASP.NET MVC
- ASP.NET Silverlight controls
All six labs contained within the kit have been tested and validated by customers during two .NET 3.5 SP1 training workshops held in Redmond. We will continue to receive customer and field feedback on the labs and incorporate the feedback into future iterations. There will also be new versions of the training kit with additional content, including presentations, demo scripts and screencasts.
You can download the training kit at http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=8719735[^]
The next iterative release of the kit will occur in sync with the beta release of .NET 3.5 SP1.

Hi all! PHP Newb here,hoping you could help..
I've got the following code:
<code>
$FSFriendlyTitle = str_replace(':',':',$VMRow['Title']);
echo "<h2>".$VMRow['Title']." (Season ".$VMRow['SeasonReleased'].")</h2><hr/>";
//echo "/Images/Posters/".$FSFriendlyTitle.".jpg";
if(file_exists("/Images/Posters/".$FSFriendlyTitle.".jpg"))
{
echo "<img src='/Images/Posters/".$FSFriendlyTitle.".jpg' alt='".$VMRow['Title']."'/><p/>";
}
else
{
echo "<img src='/Images/Posters/Poster Missing.jpg' alt='".$VMRow['Title']."'/><br/>";
}
</code>
which is supposed to display an image file if it exists and a predefined one if it doesn't. The problem is that it always displays the predefined file, unless I negate the result from file_exists (but then the code attempts to display images that doesn't exist too). Yes, the images exist(the path is correct too, if I paste the output path[by the commented echo] into the url it works) and I have have a near identical setup with a different set of images, which works.If you need more info, just ask. Anybody got any idea here?

Can I ask why you chose to learn PHP ?

Because it is touted as a versatile and powerful scripting language I wanted to learn so that I have something to compare VBScript to.

Personally, I feel PHP is far-ahead, more versatile than the crap VB family.

The path given to file_exists() should be the actual physical path on your filesystem, not the one in the URL. Probably you should prepend $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT] to your path.

Hey Quiltfish. Before I answer your question I'd like to notify you about the new PHP forum offered by CP. It is located at: http://lamp.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1213656[^]
Quiltfish wrote: if(file_exists("/Images/Posters/".$FSFriendlyTitle.".jpg"))
I think you will find that on a Linux server this will try look for the image in the root folder. To make it so that it searches from the current location in the file system then remove the "/" before the Images directory in the above code. If that doesn't solve your problem let me know and I'll give you some other suggestions.

Ack! So simple and yet.. Hehe, thanks everyone who replied!
finished snippet:
<code>$FSFriendlyTitle = str_replace(':','-',$VMRow['Title']);
$FSFriendlyTitle = str_replace('!','',$FSFriendlyTitle);
$FSFriendlyTitle = str_replace('\'','',$FSFriendlyTitle);
$FSFriendlyTitle = 'Images/Posters/'.$FSFriendlyTitle.'.jpg';
echo "<h2>".$VMRow['Title']." (Season ".$VMRow['SeasonReleased'].")</h2><br/>";
if(file_exists($FSFriendlyTitle))
{
echo "<img src='/Images/Posters/".basename($FSFriendlyTitle)."' alt='".$VMRow['Title']."'/><p/>";
}
else
{
echo "<img src='/Images/Posters/Poster Missing.jpg' alt='".$VMRow['Title']."'/><br/>";
}</code>
Also, is it just me or are code tags broken?

Just a quick guess. Did you try passing the path to real or realpath [I can not recall the exact method in PHP], which is the equivalent of Server.MapPath in ASP.
I feel your PHP Zend Engine is trying to use the VirtualPath as a Physical Path. Note that on a Unix system / is the top root.

Hello everybody,
I'm currently working on my diploma thesis. I have thought to develop a mobile application that could send a request via sms to a web service which would process that info, and though Google Maps API would return that requested location. So i have to store that specified location map as a jpg format for example, in order to send it back to the mobile user though a mms. Is there any code or any script or any module that can be included into my application in order to store the Google Map location as a picture format? It's very important to me to have an answer back as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Erisa
