If you have admin approval, why not work with them to do something other than scrape the page? Not calling you a liar, just saying...it would make your life easier if they could set something up for you...

Right, we don't "officially" do it, but it's not like we dropped it due to it being too much trouble or whatever. As you said, dropped due to lack of interest. Maybe we should further discuss internally, but if there's interest, then I personally have no problem with reviewing and posting a user submitted tutorial, if it meets the criteria/standards/whatever, and the user agrees to the terms of having it posted. TBH I think a lot of the "lack of interest" was our own fault, for numerous reasons. Virtually no publicizing of it on the main site and no "recognition" on the forums to name a few. So to make a long story short Ikram, the current "official" way to post tutorials around here is to be active and get yourself promoted to at least guru status. Then you will be able to go submit and have tutorials posted. But I just want to remind you, as mentioned in PM the other day, we will not post random tutorials about java or other random languages, regardless of how good they may be. This is a php focused site.

hey I remember when AOL practically WAS the internet. Actually, to rewind time even more, I remember coding GWBASIC on a C64...

I SEE WUT U DID THAR

nobody is making fun of you. You're just playing the cripple card in order to get people to bend over backwards to basically do it for you, and we're not buying it. You are right though, this thread has run its course, and will now be locked.

seriously, how far do you expect to go with that as an excuse? It's not like people are standing in front of you trying to talk to you. It's printed on a forum. Even if you're alleged ADD causes you to randomly veer to the left or right, the post is still going to be there when you eventually come back.

What I came up with: CG Heldustry (top choice) Helvetica (probably more likely, as it's a more common font) http://www.identifont.com/

$array[] by itself creates a new (array) element. You cannot use it as part of a function argument construct: // can't do this function someFunction($array[]) { .. } Also, you cannot do this: // can't do this function someFunction($var) { .. } someFunction($array[]); But you CAN do this: // can't do this function someFunction($var) { .. } someFunction($array[] = 'something'); because ultimately you are passing just the value 'something' as an argument.

No you almost had it right the first time. You have your array of options, then when you call your function you pass individual elements, just like you did. But in your actual function construct, you would have variables, and you would use those variables in the function. Example: function table_setter($color,$width,$border,$row_num){ // now use $color, $width, $border, $row_num } $table = table_setter($table_options['color']['color1'],etc....);

I think it's funny how people oppose this, as if they have some sort of say in it. Bottom line is the pres can effectively do any of that already, with or without our permission. This is their way of "being nice" about doing what they want to do. The proverbial, "Look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way," scenario. Doing it this way (the "nice" way) allows the stakeholders to be a part of the process. Train and fill those positions themselves, etc...

echo out $file see if it has what you expect it to have.

preg_match('~"([^"]+)"~',$string,$matches); echo "<pre>";print_r($matches);

It's saying you should have taken it back for another one back when it first started giving you issues. my first guess is you either don't have the right power box (like maybe your comp needs 300Mhz and your box is only 200Mhz or something) or else it's bad.

haha yeah I've seen those too. Def talking about the hot chica linux ones.

'~</center>.*?</td>.*?</tr>.*?</table>.*?</td>.*?</tr>~s'

you.

ugh I shouldn't have opened my mouth now this is going to turn into yet another tables vs. divs debate.

haha no the ones I've seen are where linux is a chica...

swap out frames for tables. brilliant.

seriously, there are like thousands of free templates out there that look exactly like that.

dunno what you mean by "TV friendly"... if you mean rated higher than pg13? uh...no, totally rated pg. Do you mean "TV friendly" in some kind of "politically correct" way? uh...no. How is it any different than mac making fun of pc in their aired commercials? My opinion is that if linux were to officially air something like that, it would be an instant classic, forever remembered in the same way as it is on youtube: the proverbial BURN.

no actually you would need to do {1,48} The first character class and last character class account for the minimum of 2. {0,48} will match nothing up to 48 characters. so to make it a minimum of 3, you'd up the minimum range, not lower the max.

'/(?<=[.?!]|^).*?(?=([.?!])\s{0,3}[A-Z]|$)/s' would be better, as a dot will match any 0-3 things

seems like the mac vs. pc spoofs are more popular than the real ads.. I like the ones where mac and pc are talking and linux walks in

er..I guess your OP said all lowercase so remove all the A-Z in there
