Hello

[anonymous92]

i forgot one thing...

u know how u can create ur own page with notepad and by saving it, u can view it in ur browser?
and up in the url instead of saying http:....
it says like /C:documents
something like that

if u copy ur url that uve made for ur page, and u send it to someone by messenger or email, will it work for them?

You will need to host the page on your PC. To do so,look thru the forum,there's a tutorial about it.

Yeah, the path to your file ("C:\whatever\file.html") can only be accessed from your own computer. If someone else typed that in their file/web browser, they would get taken to that path on their own computer.

To make files and web pages accessible to the Internet, you need to first install a web server for your computer, then make arrangements so its port (usually port 80) can be accessed by the Internet. Usually this involved poking a hole in your firewall for that port and forwarding the port in your router's settings to your LAN address.

so then i cant just send the link to them? i actually have either host the page or do whatever u told me on the server thingy listening on port 80?

and how do i that?


oh and did u read my other post mike? (or anyone who might know)
the one at "5:4*pm"..i asked a a few questions it would be very helpful if u helped me with them

Only you can access the files on your own hard drive. To make files accessible to the Internet, you install a web server and make sure the Internet can reach it.

and how do i that?

Try googling for tutorials on the topic of web servers, and it's good to know some web programming languages.

but like how will it know that once u click on a certain tab, that it will send u that information

doesnt it need to recognize what u need to click so it can send the email?

like if u put the php code anywhere in the source code it wont know what u need to press to like send the information..
dont u need to like clarify(somehow in the code) that when u press the "login" button, thats when it will sned u the email, or does it know by itself somehow?..(which i dont think so)

thanks, even though i already know how to format php with the <?php and all that..either echo or print yeah i get that

The only way to understand websites and browsers is to learn the languages used on the web. PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript; take your pick. HTML forms pass data between browser and server; only the server can send emails.

[anonymous92]

still dont get it

only thing i know about php is that it can email with like a subject and like to and from who and all that

but i still dont get how i get it to email me when they press the "login" button

like from what i know, u can send emails but like only as if it was a real email with to:
subject:
from:
and then the message:

i dont get how an email should be sent to me when they press "login" when php requiers something like the above.

such as when u format it like:

<?php
echo "<form method='post' action='mailform.php'>
Email: <input name='email' type='text' /><br />
Subject: <input name='subject' type='text' /><br />
Message:<br />
<textarea name='message' rows='*5' cols='40'>
</textarea><br />
<input type='submit' />
</form>";
?>

how will that email me the information given when it doesnt know to perform the action when u press "login"?
i still dont get it :/

[anonymous92]

nevermind thats not the right formatting to email information
oops

thats only for like an email form

but still...confused...

No, most people use routers.

[anonymous92]

what kinds are there??

Unless you use dial-up (who does these days?), your router is the box you plug your phone line into and plug your computers into via ethernet cables. You can't connect to a computer on the Internet that is behind a router, unless they specifically tell it to forward incoming connections on that port to its local address.

[anonymous92]

but then howcome ive seen other posts about hacking peoples computers when they have their ip address
and then u say that u rather not discuss that kind of stuff

[Ezekiel]

What are you talking about?
