There is no best way, really. It's all up to you. Some practices are probably better than others (in terms of how you write and document your code, handle databasing, user systems, etc.) but there is no one "magic bullet" method that, upon adoption, will automatically make your code inherently better than code written any other way.

That is all.

How can you tell where the end is. Can you determine it through scripting?

I am an administrator on a site that has a lot of trouble with users breaking the rules. We've tried a lot of different things such as creating an "easy to read" version of the rules, putting the most important rules in large lettering at the top, and mass banning members who break the rules. So far, nothing has worked. I would like to know if there's a way to find out when someone's reached the bottom of the page. The preferred method would be for it to determine how much time they spend on each section and if they only spend a second or two on each section, bump them back up to the top and tell them to read it. The only other ways I can think of are to have them take a quiz at the end, making them indicate they've read a section by checking a box at the bottom or to have each section on a page of it's own and having them wait 10 seconds or so on each page before continuing. We have tried most other methods and, so far, they have had little or no effect.

I have some songs that I have written and I want people to be able to listen to them but not download them. I have a Flash applet that I am using called "Dewplayer" (Google for it, it's in French) that has me specify the path to the song in it's source. While this is convenient, I would prefer it if I could have a PHP file that would serve the song from a non-web accessible directory (below public_html). I have little knowledge of PHP so I don't really know what to do. I have seen this kind of thing done before in Perl and my server supports it if is necessary to use it instead.

I have a script that does some specialized functionality on all my pages and I'm wondering if there's any way  to automatically include it on all my pages. Is there a script I could make that would automatically go into all my PHP files and include it? EDIT: Question answered. Thanks!
