Is my tutorial understandable??

go to my site here
http://www.hobbes.tk

and click on the tutorial. Please tell me if its understandable and how does the layout look like.. I only worked on my site 2 hours so far

i think you should give some examples on (free) php hosts, but the rest looks fine to me.

Yep very good and yeah i agree try to give some examples of php hosts Good luck with the rest of your site

good, but n00bs probably wont understand... (5 rating)

hmm. Anyone know of a free php hosting site?

Hobbes, I don't want to take credit for the php script, it was made by Madman and edited a little bit by fluffy lobster (because of a security issue).

<?php
$dir = "imgs"; //The folder where all the images are kept
$dh = opendir($dir);
$files = array();
while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dh))) {
$files[] = $filename;
}
sort($files);
array_splice($files, 0, 2);
$filesnum = count($files);
srand( (double) microtime()*1000000 );
$randnum = rand(0, $filesnum - 1);
header("Location: " . $dir . "/" . $files[$randnum]); //redirects the browser to a random file, allowing it to cache
?>

good, clean and short tutorial Hobbes

one small bit though: the download link isn't right:
http://www.hobbes.subhost.com.ar/www.hobbes.subho...hp?file=avatar.php
This must obviously be:
http://www.hobbes.subhost.com.ar/download.php?file=avatar.php


If you put www.hobbes.subhost.com.ar/download.php?file=avatar.php then that's a relative link, meaning it will be put together with the main page's link and thus you'll get:
http://www.hobbes.subhost.com.ar/www.hobbes.subhost.com.ar/.....
so iether change it to:
http://www.hobbes.subhost.com.ar/download.php?file=avatar.php to make it an absolute link. Or:
download.php?file=avatar.php to make it simply and relative to the main page URL.




EDIT: John Anderton was first...

----------

Also the html page avatar_script.htm: It doesn't contain the proper HTML tags!

Every html page must consist of:
<html>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>
even when they are frames... So the page avatar_script.htm must be like this (just as other pages):
<html>
  <head>
    <meta (...)>
    <style>
      (...)
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    (...)
  </body>
</html>

I think that he's trying to maintain the overall black and white feel that is presented in Hobbes + Calvin...

---

The site is pretty god.need color and more  content.
Kep it up the god job!

can still be optimized though...

what I did:
-added the html, head, body stuff
-fixed some very small spelling mistakes
-made links relative
-added target="_top" on the 100webspace link
-added 'indenting' (is that the word?)

what I didn't do:
-checking for optimized stylesheed use, tag use, etc...

some tip:
make every link, directory, file lowercased. This will prevent you from making sometimes hard to find errors in links and stuff. eg: the directory 'Images', make it 'images' (and change it also in the links on the pages of course). Same with file names, eg: 'HobbesMiniBanner.jpg'. If you accidental write 'HobbesMinibanner.jpg' somewhere, the image wouldn't load...

anyways...

thanks doood!!!! your 1337ness!!
