 |
|
Well today my ISP (the DHCP server) felt like changing my IP address (im dynamic so it changes every now and again) and since i had used my IP address to link all my images (as my domain name (not a TLD im getting a TLD soon) will not) so today i had to go back and change about 100 pages and such :/ i just ended up cutting off the http:// part and doing /server stuff/Images/IMAGES.EXT
So the moral?
NEVER USE YOUR IP TO LINK IMAGES! (onless your static)
PS How would one obtain a static ip address?

| i konw that with my ISP you have to pay for a static IP if you want one but even if you do its not fuly static because once every 3 or 4 months the ISP's do a wipe and re writes EVERYONES ip i think. |

Rubbish. If you pay for static you get static. It never changes.

Dynamic IP: Changes based on DHCP
Static IP: As long as your service isnt cut off (bill not paid) it will never change
The reason you buy static is so you never have to change it :/ if your ISP changes it then they are ripping you off

It should not change even if you don't pay the bill since its assigned to the customer account. Only when the customer account is removed should it be able to be given to someone else.

LOL. Funny situation, hc2995. Relative URL's certainly have their benefit. :)
One way to use absolute URL's is to create a custom variable in Abyss
(http://localhost:9999/hosts/host@0/edit/scripting). I use this method a little bit. In PHP, accessing your custom variable is as follows: | Code: | | $_SERVER[CUSTOM_VARIABLE] |
Just make a custom variable containing your IP address. Then it's an extremely easy update. :)
