I don't think that phrase applies to your situation... I'd say you did
the right thing. Far too often people are afraid of reprisal or seeming
stupid and so a problem doesn't get solved until it's far too late and
its effects become magnified. Here's a more apt quote for your
situation:
"It's better to be an idiot for 10 minutes than a failure for
the rest of your life."

Hi,
I'm working on redesigning the backend of the website for work. It was
originally done in ColdFusion, but I'm switching it over to PHP - probably
going to transfer the website from where it's currently hosted to something
a lot cheaper, too, hence the switching to PHP. Anyway.
Because we are a manufacturing company, we have a few different lines of
products. Currently, each different product line has it's own page (and own
meta tags). The current set up has ColdFusion grabbing the current page
from the URL stripping off the '.cfm' extension and adding '-meta.cfm'
before including it in the header.
I'm sure there is a way to do this in PHP, but I'm out of shape enough with
using PHP that I can't remember, and I can't seem to find anything that will
work for me. I just want to be able to pull whatever address is in the URL,
get the file name, and go from there.
Any ideas?
Anything would be helpful. :)
Thanks,
Amanda

From what I've read recently about meta tags, why?
Most SE's have dropped their dependance on meta tags because of their abuse.

one of these should give you something to go on:
echo preg_replace('\.cfm$', '-meta.cfm', parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],
PHP_URL_PATH)), "\n";
echo preg_replace('\.cfm$', '-meta.cfm', $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']), "\n";
echo preg_replace('\.cfm$', '-meta.cfm', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']), "\n";

Not sure if I'm at the right place but here goes....
I'm trying to create a script that will let users upload photos. It is a
high traffic site and I've been told its best to create a function that will
generate a unique filename for a temp. file, put the temp file elsewhere on
the server, and then use an (unlink???) function to delete the temp. file
after it gets written to the d-base.
How would I do that?
