Djangocode: In The quiet words of a beginner: "Nice one Bro"..

Thanks bro.

coolsix:

session_start() can be used after HTML as long as there is <?php ob_start(); ?> or <?php ob_flush(); ?> at the top of the script

True, i am suspecting that the op has an extra space before that ob_start.

GodMode:
Let them swear na them get their mouth... I don't care about winning or losing cos I do it for fun.

smh, troll, just like me. . .i wonder when the application is closing sef, all this drama here.

Olyboy16: Hmm...so these are dhtml's php codes..i c..nice work

You got me laughing, are you trying to say their is something strange about my method of coding? I know i need to improve, thanks for the compliment though.

lordZOUGA:
you can look at it this way: Some people might have never been programmers if they hadn't decided that programming is something they want to do everyday. I mean, they could also be good at mechanical engineering or music or electrical engineering.
Keep in my mind that by programming, I mean the ability to solve a problem using a computer by supplying to it a set of instructions.

Like I said, programmers are made. a lot of people have the ability but whether they want to do it or not is the issue.

I took that into calculation as well. I know people that have great passion for programming, went through hell to learn programming, but their brain is not just for it. And remember also that programming is a lot like mathematics, and we do know that mathematics is easier for some people and very tough and impossible for others. Mastering programming is tough - filled with frustration and lots of things, some people simple cant cope with the stress and run away when they start facing such challenges.

@op, please make sure there is no hidden space before you op start
e.g. you can start like this just to be sure.
<?php session_start();?>
If all these dont work, then tire ti ba o ni yen (your village people don catch up with you) - just kidding.
You can come back for advice, i will give you another approach which has never failed me so far.

lordZOUGA: So, are they born or made?

I think they are made.

I believe every human has the capacity to think logically. whether they want to do that for a prolonged period of time is the question.

Abinibi is different from Ability. Some people may do all they can, but cannever progress to being a programmer. . . . .despite the fact that they may be geniuses in other things.

CODEEATER: U r wasting your time bro...I have tried d same tin twice...

D programmers on Nairaland r either 2 proud, 2 "busy" or just don't care...

Forge your own path...work hard read books, watch GOOD vids n keep practicing n u will make it.

I am just seeing this post, Interestingly, when i first came to nairaland i was under the same impression - now i know differently.

Thank you o, that is the only way i know too. Meanwhile, i am assuming the OP has already gone through HTML,CSS and possible a little javascript (not compulsorily), because building a real-life application is going to involve all these and not just PHP.
@op, i am sorry if my initial post was a bit harsh. I was just rather upset that you called yourself a beginner and you just wanted to JUMP like THAT? You needed some flogging to get your head straight - what were you thinking? You wanna blow your head?
Ooops, i did it again! sorry. . . .

engrjidex:

Me don delete ma FB account since last year, for some resons best known to me.

Well, i have no means of authentication, so you still remain disqualified for certain reasons except the CHIEF JUSTICE proves me wrong.

Thanks bro!

The code in question:

<?php
header('Content-type:text/plain');
$y=trim(file_get_contents('yoruba.txt')); //retrieve entire raw text file containing the words in the unsorted pattern
$lines=explode("\n",$y); //split it into lines
foreach($lines as $line) {//loop through each line
$l=explode('-',$line); //break each line into an array based on the -
$l=array_map('trim',$l); //trim spaces on both word and meaning
$l[0]=ucwords($l[0]); //start word with uppercase for uniformity
if(count($l)==2) {$arr[$l[0]]=$l[1];} //the line trims out any line that does not conform to word - meaning such as empty lines
}
ksort($arr); //sort the word and meaning alphabetically using the key i.e. word
$boundary=""; //let us now display the clean result in alphabetical order and with no spaces
foreach($arr as $word=>$meaning) {
$b=substr($word,0,1);
if($b!=$boundary) {echo "\n".'['.$b.strtolower($b).']'."\n";$boundary=$b;}
echo "$word = $meaning\n";
}
?>

Ah well, after about 17 lines of PHP code approximately 2 - 3 minutes later, here is what i got:
Not only was it sorted neatly, it also put the starting alphabet for each of the groups.

You do not presume to know me, speak for yourself. @op, he is not my brother.

GodMode:

You're still drinking panadol over that ish.... If u like make 1 trillion tutorials. My motto is always

I came I saw I troll.....

Divide and Conquer.

However, you should know that there are still people swearing for you till now for your trollin action that caused catastrophe (which was to my credit BTW, so i wonder who really lost - definitely not me).
Anyway, believe what ye will, I shall leave you to your allusions.

You want to become an advanced copy-paster at this rate and not a programmer. I am sorry but i cannot help you - that your approach cannot help you learn programming.
Did you read the documentation of the social networking script BTW? If you did, you will understand that a beginner programmer cannot manipulate the codes as easily as you think. Even a professional will have to work with documentation otherwise the entire code may become a liability rather than an asset.

GodMode: Issorai.....

You are not even qualified in the first place, so there is no need to disqualify/requalify you, but still, i shall still [tscript]choose-one ? dequalify, disqualify, dequantify, disquantify, unquantify, misqualify, misquantify : disqualification[/tscript] you all the same (just for 'trollin sake).

And i should thank you for assisting me to cancel my javascript tutorial, i was initially annoyed, but i have redirected that anger into something really positive - in fact, you may not know it, but you have been a godsent - my tutorials shall resurface - and this time i shall get more credits for my good work (and more too).
