I would never trust data that people had entered at random, with no incentive as being accurate, or as representative of the real spread of people who had the disease. You will not get a statistically valid number of people entering data.

You are right, the data may not be trustworthy. But so is wikipedia, tripadvisor or any other crowd-sourcing websites, right? Even their website disclaimer warns about it. But the data is still useful for many.

Collecting data like wikipedia, which is a collection of facts, is something that is self correcting. Someone else sees something is wrong, and fixes it. Collecting statistics does not work that way.

I agree. That is the reason I am debating whether to do it or not.
|
|
|
|

I'd go with 'no'. I don't see how it would be useful, I am afraid.

People who need to know this already have access to this sort of information, based on reliable sources from doctors, hospitals and so on. There are also some sites which make this sort of information available to the general public, e.g. Health Map.[^]
A site that was updated by any member of the public as and when they feel like it would not be that reliable. When you looked at the number of cases of a disease in a particular area it would only tell you how many people have posted an entry in that area, not how many cases there actually were. For example, areas in which people have a lower level of income tend to have relatively limited access to computers and the internet, and consequently your site would likely under-represent the incidence of disease in poorer areas.
Also, self-diagnosis is unreliable and so you would have no idea what proportion of the entries posted on your site were accurate or even genuine. If these people have been diagnosed by a doctor then this information will already have been recorded elsewhere by someone who knows what they are doing.

You would use javascript to change the color, or use an animated gif. This was discussed at length yesterday in the ASP.NET forum.

What is website prototype ? and how can it help us ?
|
|
|
|
|
A prototype basically looks like the program, but doesn't really work. It's useful for working out UI issues and getting clients to accept a design.

How new is new ? In what context are you writing code ? What are you trying to achieve ?

hi,
I need some help, at least some guidelines where to start. Briefly, I am making a website where registered users will be able to upload their photos, create an album and some other functionality. Im new with PHP and mySQL, so have no clue where to start. Is the files would be stored in database together with other information with users details when they register, or it is some kind dedicated server part that only users can access?
the thing im making is like a part of facebook or any other social websites where u can upload a bunch o photos, put them together into album...plus you can comment on others etc..
Thank You for any suggestions.

If you're really new, why not use ASP.NET instead ? The tools are free, and the language and framework are much richer and more user friendly.

thanks for help, but you missunderstood me a bit...
xamp didnt wor for some reason, thus I found cheap host and got everything online. For code editing and web development Im using Dreamweaver (older, still Macromedia but I think it is basicaly the same). For php I already read loads of tutorials, and probably will be fine with upload part. what I dont know is how to setup mySQL database that it could store physical files (images in my case) or it is done in some other way? any suggestions on that part?
thanx once more

You need to use PHPMyAdmin or get remote access credentials and use something like Navicat SQL. You shouldn't store the files in the database but store the path to the files on the server and then upload them into a non-accessible folder.
Database Fields:
id,
Name,
Path.
Then you can create a file which reads from the path and outputs the file when needed. So all in all there's a lot of testing to be done. So, I suggest trying to install XAMPP on your PC again - it really is worth it for testing. Use default settings and it should work. Then go to http://localhost/[^]

Hi Christ,
I was able to create a script on this using the concept of test software, but as I tested it, you've helped me realize that the client I'm having now, who really wanted this to be done, I think, might have some bad motives. Well, since it's only a very short hour project, I immediately terminate the contract.
Thanks man.

Hi , I'd appreciate to get help on that. I can't seem to have my notify mail sent after my user registrated. Weird enough, the process it just fine since I can see the new user info in my access database... I just don't get why the email is not sent. Syntax error? It's not complicated, User subscribes which in this case is called action = 1....
Thanks in advance..!!!

I'm not sure this post fits this board, but ... =\
I'm writting a page that calls a webservice through javascript and, now, I'm getting an error from ScriptResource.axd. I have even tryed rewritting the code causing the problem, but the error is the same.
Error: i is not a function
Line: 5
JS Code
function apagar_utlz_m(id)
{
var tabela = document.getElementById(id);
var tbody = tabela.getElementsByTagName('tbody')[0];
var linhas = tbody.getElementsByTagName('tr');
var j, checked, codigo_nome, ano_pass, obj;
for (j=0 ; j<linhas.length ; j++)
{
obj = linhas[j];
checked = obj.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].checked;
codigo_nome = obj.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].value;
ano_pass = obj.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].value;
if (checked)
{
function Sucesso(r)
{
if (!r) alert('Erro: não foi possível apagar a entrada');
else
{
if (id == 'utilizadores') selectUtilizadores();
else selectM();
}
}
if (id == 'utilizadores') cnc.servidor.deleteUtilizador(codigo_nome, ano_pass, Sucesso, ErroChamada);
else cnc.servidor.deleteM(codigo_nome, ano_pass, Sucesso, ErroChamada);
}
}
}
The WebService methods "deleteUtilizador" and "deleteM" are both called (changes are made to the DB!), but "Sucesso" never runs, so I'm assuming the problem is related to this call.
Can anybody help?
Best regards
Fratelli
