  1. Hi

     

    I do want to be able to sort them, but it is also useful to see how it is rating matches.

     

    Problem appears to be that match assumes a hyphen separates words. Also it ignores words less than 4 characters long so D-LINK and TP-LINK are taken as being the same.

     

    All the best

    Get dat Sphinx?!

  2. Much needed. The manual entry is very well done, and this is just icing on the cake!

     

    Now we just need a sticky for the 'expects a resource - boolean given'

    Agreed, on both points. I can volunteer to write that one, if you guys will proof it for me :)

     

    Talk is cheap! ;)

  3. That's one of the reasons I leave SEO to other people. It's disgustingly predatory, and something I don't want to bother competing against.

     

    User-generated content aside, it's very easy to prevent links going to the kind of sites that will dick you around. Even with user-generated content, it's quite easy to build a list of external URLs in the content and keep an eye out for bogus links (almost always from bogus users). nofollow helps with this as well.

     

    Stack Exchange links to external articles in nearly every post, yet the are constantly at the top of search results. I don't think screwing with the way your user's browser behaves is a solution to someone poisoning your content.

  4. I've purchased a few of their desktops, but they were incredible bargain priced (sub $300) so my expectations were never high. Since they were desktops, I never had to deal with support. They are still running today (or at least I assume since I haven't got a phone call asking to fix them).

     

    I've heard horror stories though. It's very sad they took over the legendary ThinkPad line :/

     

    That's one BIG plus of purchasing with credit cards. You get shafted hard enough, and you just initiate a charge-back. Sure it looks bad on your credit rating, but it gives a nice 'fuck you' to the assholes that made you do it.

  5. Fawlty Towers

     

    I can watch this show over and over and over and still fall out of my seat laughing.

     

    For the life of me, I don't understand why they only made 12 episodes. I can still watch all of them and laugh at every single one. John Cleese has been great in every role I've ever seen him in, but Fawlty Towers is by far my favorite.

     

    You must not be familiar with Life of Brian, Quest for the Holy Grail, Meaning of Life, and the Flying Circus ;)

  6. Okay well in my head, "hide the referrer"  and make it "thinks the referer is the first Iframe" (from OP) are two different things.  If you want to "hide" or obfuscate the referring URL from the target page, the bottom line is there is no elegant, 100% way to do this (see ignace's post for a link to what you can do).

     

    yes sorry, what im trying to do is make the referrer look like its coming from somewhere else eg google.com, i have read that article and i will read through it again, im thinking that this maybe isnt possible.

     

    It's not. You're trying to change client-side behaviour with server side scripting.

     

    Even client-side code can't or shouldn't be able to do this. Messing with those kinds of headers could be a security risk.

  7. I'd probably just add another column myself... But 'status' for me is usually limited to 'Complete', 'In Progress', or 'Not Started'

     

    It really depends on how flexible you need to be with your status. Generally, if you only have a few different options it's not worth it to move over to a foreign key.

  8. Check for output buffers!

     

    Since you don't seem to be adept in google-fu, Use this -

     

    <?php
    
    // Comment everything out to check for errors
    
    //header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-word");
    //open/save dialog box
    //header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="syllabus.docx"');
    //read from server and write to buffer
    //readfile('uploaded_files/syllabuses/syllabus.docx');
    
    if( ob_get_level() )
    die("You've got buffering issues");
    
    ?>
