Newbie question

Just started a course on PHP and we're doing stuff with mySQL.

On this page: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function...etch-array.php

In example 2, there are these lines:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
printf("ID: %s Name: %s", $row[0], $row[1]);

What is the %s - a variable into the array or something?

Thanks.

Hi, I've gone through the list of "language differences" between 2.3 / 2.4 & 2.5 of CPython. I've spend around 2 weeks now, learning v2.5 of CPython, and I consider myself still very very newbie. So, unable to take a call as to how-important or desirable the newer language features are -- so whether to write my app for v2.5 of Python, versus, as few others on this list have recommended, i.e. to stick to v2.3 ?? Are the preformance...

Hi all - Sorry to plague you with another newbie question from a lurker. Hopefully, this will be simple. I have a list full of RGB pixel values read from an image. I want to test each RGB band value per pixel, and set it to something else if it meets or falls below a certain threshold - i.e., a Red value of 0 would be changed to 50. I've built my list by using a Python Image Library statement akin to the following:

I am a newbie trying to learn the DOM.

Why doesn't the first alert statement pick up the style.left attribute from the CSS? <html> <head> <style type="text/css">

Sorry for this newbie question, this is not my realm of expertese. I have searched google, tried several applications that claim they can do this, such as Mapforce, which I found confusing, to Oxygen, to HTML kit, et cetera. I am more confused than ever. here's my quandry. I was sent a file and told that we need to get the data into a more readable form. I've tried using apps to pull it in, but it's not displaying properly.

I am new to Visual Web Developer 2005 Expres. I am using absolute positioning and every time I add a button control to my web form its width extends all the way to the edge of the page. IOW I get a long skinny button that extends to the right side of the browser. This does not appear to happen with other controls. Any idea why it happens to the button? Here is how the button looks in source code:
