Well Mr. Jonathon, thanks for the advices

1- BTW for my typing mistake I am a HUMAN, so POP News human do mistakes...
2- I pasted the code as is I was using it, I have no intention to hide my
code in here...
3- All I said I am doing something wrong and I need help, I didn't say I am
a master and fooling people.

Once again thanks for the advices...
