PHP help needed
Somethings got me a little confused and I can't seem to work a solution to it. I know it must be simple but I just can't figure out why this is happening 
.
The problem I have with the above code is that during the (while($z < $half){), $b can become a larger number than $a because it obviously bypasses the `main` while. My solution to this was to add an if like so:
Whilst this does what I need it to do, the page never stops loading so I assume the `if` statement is never closing.
The reason I need to do this is because the way it works at the moment it just repeats the same item till it reaches `$half`. Example of my test page (http://www.designsonpine.co.uk ... ctsT.php?sub_categoryid=4).
Anyone got any ideas?
.
<?php
while($b < $a){
while($z < $half){
echo "<td>";
$images = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gallery_photos WHERE photo_id = '$image[$b]'");
while($myrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($images))
{
$filename = $myrow['photo_filename'];
$caption = $myrow['photo_caption'];
}
<a href="image.php?code=echo $caption;" target="_blank"><img src="im/echo $images_dir;/tb_echo $filename;" alt="click for larger image"/></a>
php
echo "</td>";
$b = $b + 1;
$z = $z + 1;
}
echo "</tr>";
$z = 0;
?>
<?php
while($z < $half){ // Displays the top row in table (images)
if($b < $a){
echo "<td>";
$images = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gallery_photos WHERE photo_id = '$image[$b]'");
while($myrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($images))
{
$filename = $myrow['photo_filename'];
$caption = $myrow['photo_caption'];

What a silly claim, anyone can be as good as anyone else? There is no such thing as talent? Your point doesn't make much sense, Leprekaun.
I'll beat people with more mileage than me in LFS and people with less mileage than me also manage to beat me. That throws your theory right out the window.
Mileage and practice will only get you to a certain level, after that it comes down to talent in finding that little extra. Sure, with determination you can try improve this talent but it will just never come as naturally as it does to the ones who are `born` with it, so to speak. I’ve watched people race karts for years and years and still never get good at it. One in particular practically finished last in every race he did, even against people in their first race meeting (novices). For me it just never seemed to click, he could never improve.
To me it’s just logical that some people just can’t think the way they need to, to go quick. Some people are good with maths, some with English and some are better at thinking logically. Whether this is something we are born with or it’s to do with how we’ve been brought up at a very young age, I have no idea. I just know that people are better than me at various tasks, no matter how much work I put in. I had to work my ass off to pass higher English where as a couple of my friends passed with an A without doing much work.
I know for a fact I'll never be as good as Bawbag or any of the other well known drivers. I just can't find that limit and whilst I may with more practice get closer to this, they will just move the marker further in that time.
I started racing R/C Touring Cars four years back and I'm beating/competing with drivers who have probably covered more than 4 times the mileage I've done. Considering some of them have been racing for 15+ years, they should be beating me with that extra 11 years `experience.`
I can't help but laugh when people join servers, leave the pits and fly off the road a few times. Stop and ask for a setup, saying "Setup plz, mine keeps spinning" or words to that affect. They then get the setup and continue to fly off the road. I know this isn’t your point, before you repeat it I’m just stating something whilst we’re on the topic.
I’ll finish this off with a question for you. If it comes down to experience, why in the world did Ferrari pay Schumacher 50+ Million to drive for them, why did they lure Raikkonen with a similarly scary salary? Why do teams try lure great designers and engineers from other teams with big sums of money? If in actual fact they could grab a student and train them up to do the job whilst paying minimum wage. Give them more experience than Adrian Newey etc received before they started designing race winning cars…

You have unzipped it keeping the folder structure?
I don't quite understand how you can be globally banned today when your last race was on the 6th - http://www.lfsworld.net/?win=stats&racer=funnybone2 and only been in 5 different servers this month.
People who crack the game can't connect to the master server as it stands... That's why you have to enter a username + password to unlock LFS. That username and password is checked everytime you connect to the master server.
Hamilton has been testing that McLaren for months prior to Alonso getting out of his Renault contract. Lewis had already established himself and his style with the engineers well before Alonso was even getting a seat fitted
.Heh? Have you actually watched F1 in the past 3 years...
Drivers carry their race fuel load through the qualifying session (for the past two seasons they carry it in the final session). So a driver who qualified a few tenths shy with 4 more laps of fuel in it did a hell of a lot better of a lap than the lighter one. The aim is to run longer than your competitor and throw in the quick laps while they are out struggling with a heavy fuel load.
I'd actually like to see you back up them statements, as I think you'll fail miserably
.Grumpy? Debateable, he has his moments like any other driver. Although he has yet to claim another driver tried to kill him and throw the toys out the pram at his own mistake
. Or slag off another driver and throw his helmet at the garage at his own mistake of brake testing another driver in a dark tunnel.Crap under (political) pressure? Lets look back to last year. He had the mass damper saga, an unfair penalty for being let past another car under yellow flags (Hungary) and another unfair penalty at Monza. Not to mention the struggle with a car that just simply wasn't as quick as the Ferraris and the various retirements, none of which were his fault.
Now at Hungary Alonso drove a stunning race until the wheel nut came off, some of the best overtaking in a long time. At Monza which caused the biggest who-ha, he drove another stunning race until the engine let go. I actually can't remember any mistakes from him as a driver last year, he drove a faultless season and kept pushing against the odds while Ferrari had the quicker car.
His head was stronger than Schumacher last year who was in the quickest car for over half the season but binned it a couple of times during the season and attempted a rather silly parking manoeuvre.

As far as I can recall McLaren and Ferrari were the two teams setting the pace in winter testing. Renault were quite far off the mark and admitted themselves they had to push the development of the R26 further into the season than they wanted to win the championships.
The interesting thing with Hamilton so far is the last two races he has been on his back foot when it comes to pace. He was slower than Alonso in France and Silverstone. He was also slower in Indy if I recall correctly but McLaren had the car to be in there. Before anyone mentions his qualifying lap, well his lack of fuel was where that came from.
What I'm interested to see is now how he keeps his head in what is looking like a very strong come back from Ferrari, now he doesn't have a car that is the quickest. As things stand just now it's up to the driver to make it quicker.
I couldn't help but laugh every time Steve Ryder said, "But there are another 3 British drivers." I was almost shocked to know there was another 3 drivers, yet alone another 21. They filled the show with so much Hamilton blurb they couldn't even fit in their special feature...

It's not a case of preference, it's the case that someone using 3rd person view has a huge advantage over someone who uses the cockpit view. With options like digital/analogue speedo that's down to preference.
Someone using 3rd person view can see exactly where the car is positioned, they can see any car alongside them without having to look left/right.
That is an unfair advantage over us who drive the car where your supposed to drive it from. What's the point in pushing the physics to the limit and drive it as if you were playing Grand Theft Auto?

Great drives from Raikkonen and Alonso. Also a good recovery from Massa and another strong finish for Kubica.
Hamilton seemed to really be on his back foot. His laptimes on the soft tyre didn't even match what Alonso and Kimi were doing on the hard tyre.

It's common knowledge that Alonso and Hamilton trade telemetry during qualifying. Why does driving styles come into this? Hamilton/Alonso aren't looking at the data to understand what there opponents car is doing. They are reading into it to understand where they are losing time...
Alonso hasn't driven with an understeery car all season... The Renault was naturally a very understeery car and still is. If it rains I don't see Hamilton's driving style paying off, getting the back end out in the wet is often dangerous as he proved in Hungary last year in GP2
.The only information Alonso and Hamiltons crews don't share is fuel strategy, which after the first stops they share. With two highly competitive drivers they need to try keep them happy.
I'm interested to see why Alonso opted to save his harder tyres, especially after he set a super quick lap on the harder tyre.
FYI, BMW has nothing to do with Toyota or Williams...
It's also Mark Blundell
.The actual driving part of the simulator appeared to be pretty good and the wheel seemed to have a strong force acting on it. Graphics wise it was nothing special, pretty basic shading and not even sure the suspension graphically moved, didn't pay too much attention to that.
I think the smoking ban was great and has worked well in Scotland the last wee while.
The way I see it is why should a smoker have more rights than me, to force me to go outside and grab some fresh air every hour? Hell they most likely end up stretching the NHS even more for something so pointless. Smoking doesn't fufill any requirement needed to live...
I work in a karting centre and we recon (yet to test it) that you breath more carbon manoxiadte from a small group of smokers than you do while standing down on track with 14 karts running. For health and safety reasons we have to have sufficient ventaliation and montior the carbon manoxiadte readings, so why didn't pubs/restauratnts have to as well?
Maybe because it's not you that has to view the mangled wreck? Why should the police/paramedics/fire brigade have to view someone's face worn through to the skull as it's scraped down the tarmac?

Watch some of the SPRs on LFS World, go to the hotlaps section and click on the laptime to download the replay.
You need to be a lot smoother. At the moment you're practically driving as if you were using a keyboard. Full throttle, lots of steering etc.
http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/images/_8119_figure30.gif
Basically that's how you want to position your car when cornering (line m).
Calm it all down, take the widest line into the corner, get the bulk of the braking done in a straight line. Hit the apex (inside of the corner) and then gently start accelerating on the exit. Take is slowly to start with and build up the speed as you gain confidence.
At the moment you're being so aggressive with the throttle that you end up using so much steering lock to make up for the understeer. Also don't shift down the gears so hard.

Slight disadvantage is its size, not quite big enough for a human
Slight disadvantage is its size, not quite big enough for a human
For starters, the karts on indoor tracks will usually only hit 40mph. Second of all you don't want to be in a kart when it goes over, believe me I've seen people come out with neck injuries from getting trapped in their kart upside down. That's in a kart that weight a hell of a lot less than a hire kart. Yet to see someone get hurt when thrown clear of the kart. You want to be out of that thing ASAP if it's going to go over, why do you think superkarts hitting 150mph have no `safety` belts?
At the place I work we have `sodi` karts and even lifting the front end of one of them is heavy, yet alone the rear where all the weight is.
Only time I've seen some flames from a kart was a hire kart. It was a 4 stroke Honda with the fuel tank mounted on the engine, who ever fuelled it didn't put the lid back on properly. So of course not long in some fuel splashed on the exhaust and there was soon a bit of fire
, spotted early enough though to get it out ASAP before it did any damage.I've yet to see a kart go over in the place I work but I've heard many stories of it happening from others who work their.
The public hire karts have exposed front wheels (all be it still fairly well hidden with plastic) but if you get an idiot who rams someone the plastic flexes just enough to allow contact and then with the aid of the track markers can put it upside down. Very rare though, as you usually can get the dangerous ones off the circuit before they cause any serious accident
.Used to be sensible? Funny that my views of this have never been any different and has been the way I've raced in LFS and anything else.
There's where you are wrong and I'm surprised to see you say that. Schumacher was always stretching the rules to the limit and has done on many occasions left another driver out to dry, there is nothing wrong with doing such.
Where do I say that, what I've stated is if the driver on the outside ends up off the track it's there fault.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPdnGa_VKjE - Schumacher gives Coulthard no room and actually takes him out wide for good measure. Had Coulthard kept his foot in it Schumacher would have driven him off the road. So are you saying that's unfair driving?
A driver on the outside is off line and in danger of attack from following cars, hence why many drivers will never leave themselves in this position. They'll yield and get back in line, just as Nick would have done had he not had the concrete area. Except he had a nice choice to lose less time and give himself a fighting chance of fighting Alonso back.
If anyone should be complaining about how `dangerous` the move was, surely Nick would be? But in fact he is actually praising the battle and so is Alonso...
Poking his nose? Really Tristan, you're being pathetic. We all know you hate Alonso but your persistency in trying to slag him off at any moment is just incredible, how you can be bothered is beyond me.
Go watch the clips posted above, Alonso's car was pretty much fully past Nick before they even reached the apex... and Nick had no hope in hell of staying on the track had he even attempted to hit the second apex. He knew that himself and went straight across the run off well before Alonso had any chance of `running` him off the road.
I'm not wanting to get involved with this argument as it's getting a little bit silly but I do want to point out the sort of karts these guys are talking about couldn't be more different from your lawn more powered hire kart, that tops out at 40mph and weigh more than a racing shifter kart
. Not to mention they are built ready for a petrol version of dodgems.If you want to see proper karting, youtube/google/motors TV etc all have coverage and you'll see what these guys are saying. I want to make it clear that no one itentially forces the person on the outside off the track because the person on the outside realises he has lost the corner so doesn't leave himself in that position. Otherwise you'll end up losing 3 places, easily and in the mix of things you'll end up either hitting the 4th kart in the train while you try get back in line or drive yourself off the road. In this situation Nick knew he had a tarmac run off area, had that been grass or a wall he'd have backed out before the first apex. The biggest difference is in a competitive field of drivers, you can often have 4 or 5 karts in one train nose to tail. Even if you just miss one apex, 2 karts will nip past, or at least try. It's just the nature of having so much mechanical grip that it really does take very good race craft to do well.
Too many people make the mistake of comparing 4 stroke hire lawn mores to proper 2 stroke karts which aren't built to withstand hitting walls. What ever you want to believe people are just as cautious in overtaking in a kart as they are in single seaters. I've only raced one guy who was rather stupid and lets just say he got what was coming to him and became a lot more cautious after the scare.
Contact in a kart can result in a very heavy accident, real karts don't have near the same amount of plastic as hire karts. I've seen countless karts go end over end, and some where the driver has got trapped under them. The most spectacular being when a kart went barrel rolling end over end, more than I could count. The driver was luckily thrown clean out and was just a little shaken.
I've just kissed the rear tyre of a kart in front of me and it sent the front end of my kart up in the air, the majority of my vision very briefly was of the sky. I've had karts go over the top of me and hit my arm, hand etc.
There is still a lot of danger in contact and your a lot more exposed than a single seater, so I'd say you are more at risk of getting hurt.
In the end, the way I see it is if a driver has clearly got an overlap into the corner, there is very little point going the long way. If I go the long way in LFS and run out of road because of the guy on the inside I don't blame them, I'll blame my self for running my self off the road.
I just can't quite see what's so hard to understand that it sparks such a debate... The same thing happens in every single race series in the world, it's racing...

The supremacy of that Renault was all too obvious in the hands of Fisi the last two seasons... Only finishing 20+ seconds behind his team mate on a good day in the same car...
. (who apparently is not champion material, yet has won two of them... beating Schumacher fair & square) If the Renault was so supreme why did they find themselves on their back foot and losing points hands over fist?
If anyone seriously believes an F1 driver reaches the sport (after probably 10-15 years of racing 100s even 1000s of different drivers in their life) and wins world titles without bags of skill. they really need to question what they believe IMO.
So on your theory does Schumacher deserve to be 7WDC, surely he only won 5 of them because of the supremacy of the Ferrari...
Wearing tinted glasses?
Nothing sucked about his race. Did you not notice the director actually focused on his battles most of the race due to the fact it was the focal point of the entire race?
I thoroughly enjoyed the race and personally think he did a brilliant job, driver of the race IMO. Having a fuel strategy geared towards being out in clean air at the front did not help matters because he always pitted before the car he was battling. Nothing he could do about that... Overtaking in F1 is a difficult task and he managed to pull off some great moves, all be it blinded fan boys with a vendetta against him will continue to pursue the `Hate Alonso fan club.`
Funny how a Schumacher fan can come out with such a statement, I can recall a few occasions where he forced other drivers off the track
Surely of all people you understand that Nick was leaving himself in danger and that where he ended up was his fault? Alonso was clearly sighted down the inside well before they even hit the apex where Nick decided to keep his foot in it with no where to go, Nick was to blame in my view.
Any driver who finds himself off the track on the outside of another car is to blame, they don't have the right to the corner. Nick was off the track before the 2nd apex, he was carrying far too much speed to have a hope in hell of making that apex and stay on the track on the exit.
Does the fact both Alonso and Nick said it was a great race and neither complained about the other not show both felt it was a clean fight?
So you put down a driver battling hard and in the end it not paying off due to pit strategy?
So if you were in a similar situation I guess you'd give up? What a fighting sprit that is... Eh?... How do you plan on clutching while braking? Hence the technique heal-toe...
If your right foot was always on the accelerator and left used for brake/clutch you would be the slowest racer on the circuit
You want to get as much weight on the tyres that are working, it also helps lift the inside rear which helps the kart turn as it doesn't have a differential.
Although those things will be that damn heavy I doubt leaning is going to make much difference.
Even twin engined 4 stroke hire pro karts struggle to top much more than 50-55mph so I'm highly doubting something that's probably not far off the weight can do 45. Maybe 25-30mph with a tail wind
Exactly why he was great. He made the commentating interesting and got the audience more interested in the race because he was more excitable. The Brundle, Walker combination made a great team IMO. Made the races a lot more entertaining than Allan and Brundle.
The things Murray came out with were hilarious and there's a whole web page full of sound clips of the man at work - http://www.farzadsf1gallery.com/f1_sounds.php
