It is better to keep your correspondence to the list, so tht you are likely to
receive responses from all the list subscribers.
Yor best solution would be to use a switch and build your query based on the
value of prijsklasse.

This is just to say that I never sent that to the list. I sent it privately.
So for you to send this to the list to say that I probably should not was not
good either. Because now the whole list has been bothered instead of just
one.

This looks EXCELLENT! I just got around to downloading PHP-GTK and was
kind of put off by it's clunky interface. Reminded me of old-school
xwindows stuff or something. Not a very fluid or functional feel. And
I started wondering if anyone had done a more Windows-like GUI (or a
direct interface to the Windows window system) for PHP.
I look forward to the development of this product. Definitely submit it
to PECL!
Thanks Rubem!

I haven't downloaded it yet because I have seen that I need PHP 4 and that
it won't work with PHP 5, but I will install PHP4 just for testing it.
I am glad that it uses Win32 native classes because those classes are
accessible for the most screen readers used by the blind, so the interfaces
will be accessible for the blind also.
GTK for PHP, like the TK package for perl don't create accessible interfaces
but perl can use the Win32:: libraries or the XW:: and it is great that now
we can create programs with Windows GUI's also, using PHP.

Yep, just change that last part from $i++ to $i += 10, or 20, or

im not sure if i coded one of my application wrong, i am displaying an
image by displaying the itemcode and just adding a ".jpg" extension at
the end.
like this..
$itemCode = $row['itemCode'];
..
<img src=/images/$itemCode.jpg>
i assumed before that i can show it all, but i found out that i cannot.
my problem now is the $itemCode is on a database and the image
filename is on directory.
Will it be possible to detect a image file it exist or not?

this might work.

}

I'm not really following what you're asking for...
If you're asking if you can just detect if an image file exists...
if(file_exists("images/{$itemCode}.jpg"))
{ echo "<img src=\"images/{$itemCode}.jpg\">"; }
else
{ echo "No image"; }

i'm mail admin and works with spam filters .... I tell you some tricks
to fix your problem:
1- If you email is HTML based, it should be correct.....
2- If you put a "unsuscribe" code with the email address of the
recipient the spam filter "score" high your email.
3- If you send a mail header X-Mailer: PHP some filters "score" high
This are only a little tricks , for testing you should install a test
spam filter , for example bogofilter, spamassassin ,or DSPAM. For
example i have spamassassin configured to tell me what rules score my
messages.
P.D: Sorry for my bad english

Alternately, you can do it the lazy way like me:
<a href="<?=$url?>"><?=$url?></a>
<? Echo $url; ?>
Is the same as...
<?=$url?>
I also think that's a little easier to read. But that's my preference
in style.

I use DixieSys.com. They seem to have fairly reasonable rates and good
speed. They have a very personable support staff that you can reach via
their IRC server, ICQ or through conventional email, trouble tickets,
etc. They'd big and well equipped but still have a "down home" manner
that I really enjoy.
They don't run PHP5 yet, but I posted a suggestion to set it up side by
side with PHP4 for people who want to use one or the other.
Disk space and bandwidth are cheap and you can add services "a la carte"
depending on your needs.
When asking for unlimited disk space and lots of bandwidth, you might be
over-estimating your needs.
You might also find a good balance in hosting a PHP-enabled website with
less space/bandwidth and going with a file hosting service for the
actual songs that are planned on being posted. Some places specialize
in file serving and not actual web hosting, per se.
I have seen some free hosting services that claim "unlimited" space and
such, but you get what you pay for.

It definitely takes more than a minute. It takes nearly a minute just to
logoff one user and I often have another user, the Administrator account,
also logged in. If the Administrator account is not lgged in already, then I
must log in to it to shutdown ZoneAlarm. Then the system must shutdown and
restart. While that is happening, I must unplug the cable modem to ensure I
get nothing from/to the outside, but that can be done in parrallel with
system shutdown. However I must stay at the system while this is happening;
I prefer to unplug the cable after the system disconnects from the modem.
Then I must log in to at least one account and start a few things, such as
Apache. Relatively speaking, Apache starts immediatley, so it is not very
relevant, but it does take time for my system to start. Then after the test
I must restart ZoneAlarm, restart the system and be sure to plug the modem
back in while the system starts. The whole operation is likely to take
nearly a half hour at least.

The problem is all the people that persist in saying the same thing. I am
smart enough to think of the things being suggested. It is the type of thing
that is very easy to suggest. I get frustrated by people suggesting things
just because they are easy to suggest. Therefore when people make a
suggestion that is more likely to be relevant it is difficult for me to
determine which ones are worthwhile. And again, I am able to think of things
such as eliminating the firewall as a possibility. It is okay for people to
suggest that, but unless they can show me something that clearly says it is
relevant, then they won't accomplish anything by insisting.
One problem is that I get answers that are not accurate, so it is difficult
to know which ones are accurate.
The most important thing is that unless people give me a clear explanation
of what they are saying, it is useless to insist. I don't mind a suggestion
as much as it is the insisting that causes problems. Therefore from my point
of view, it is the insistance by others that keep the discussion going (in
useless directions).
There is one person in particular that tries too hard to help and then when
I politely say I am getting too much help I get criticized. That is not a
productive attitude.

I have a numeric array, and i'd like to get the highest key. E.g.

What i want is a function that, in this case, returns 43.
