Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
OK, I've found an Apache error log. There are several "file does not exist" errors popping up. Maybe I put the file in the wrong place? But the mysql_test.php file is in the htdocs folder right next to the phpinfo.php file, and the latter one came up just fine.
Gah. This is making me feel stupid.
But the mysql_test.php file is in the htdocs folder right next to the phpinfo.php file, and the latter one came up just fine.
It seems like it's having trouble finding mysql functions and phpinfo.php doesn't use any mysql functions so that's not surprising.
Unfortunately, that's all I got.
Thanks, Jon. I bet I'm tweaking the wrong php.ini file or something.

Andi and I are looking at buying a Blu-Ray player online. We want not rock-bottom, but a good balance of features and price. I was looking at a price point around $100, and came up with a Samsung BD-C5500, which I can find new for about $111 at three or more places.
Anyone have any dealings with Crutchfield.com?
I can also get it at newEgg and others.
Also, can I use the analog outputs to go to an analog tv? We do not yet have a Digital TV.
If a JPEG is 72 dpi but 42 X 27 inches, what are the odds the resolution will be decent printed at 5X7 inches? Does shrinking really produce a decent quality printout when it starts out with a res that low?
Unless I am really misunderstanding how image files work, I would think a 72 dpi 42*27 would be exactly the same file as a 432 dpi 7*4.5 image. So if 432 dpi is a good printing resolution, it should look fine.
Right?
Typo, it'll be fine. Resolution and size are interdependent; think of them as math and not as an image. There's no difference between a ginormous 72 dpi image and a smaller 300 dpi image. That's what resampling does.
Good lord. I thought one thing and typed the opposite. That's why you DON'T resample. For instance, in Photoshop, there's a box for image size, showing pixel dimensions (which is actually the only important factor), size (as in 4 x 6), and dpi. There are also ticky boxes, one of which is "Resample image." You do NOT want to click that if you want to take a 72 dpi ginormous picture and make the dimensions 5 x 7 at 300 dpi. Because it's all math based on the pixel dimensions.
If you click the "Resample image" box, what it does is retain the dpi (for instance, 72) and then shrink the photo to the inch dimensions you specify, which then would print crappy.
To sum up: a ginormous 72 dpi photo will print fine as a smaller 300 dpi photo, assuming the photo was taken well.
