errrrmm....hello first at all
well, before you post anywhere else on this board, please make sure to turn off capslock.
so, first of all, which type of script do you want? a script for a quicker download? which programming language do you prefer? please give some more details about your "project" so that we can help you better.

Yup, if you're seriously looking for advice, some more information on what you're doing would be nice.

I'll move this to our server-side scripting forum meanwhile...

thank you all for replying so fast! well i know a little java, html, & flash. so probally mostly java & html. mostly worried about the download speed when the user decides to download.

Once you have actually made your connection and started the download speed is determined mostly by the network connection of the server and the client's connection speed,and maybe the type of database the files are in. None of which are affected by which language you code your application in.

There can be some differences in speed of execution for making a connection, epecially if you aren't coding a browser based application, but with the resources available on most computers these days even the 'slower' languages like Java execute so fast that no one will be get frustrated....

thank you so very much norm and everyone else who gave a reply.


excuse me for my ignorance but what does Sure, go ahead and code in your fancy IDE. Just remember: it's all fun and games until someone puts an $i out */ mean?

just one little error stuffs everything up

RESPECTALL:

It's just a play on words. Many of us used to hear the classic warning from our mothers "....be carefull playing with that. It's all fun and games untill someone puts an eye out." Especially those of us who were young lads with bb guns and bows and arrows.

$i is a naming convention for the variable to be incremented in a for-loop in PHP and many other languages. And since I have so much fun coding, someone probably needs to remind me to play safely.....So that's the story behind my sig.

/* Sure, go ahead and code in your fancy IDE. Just remember: it's all fun and games until someone puts an $i out */

Isn't $i from assembly ?

I wouldn't think so, since assemlyb doesn't have variables, but registers.

True, the assembly code I did for a month or so in college was MIPS, it used $x to access a register.


.. this is such a pointless thing to yabber about. The joke remains the same.
