This is still invalid argument. I'm not sure if it falls under "illusory
correlation", "proof by verbosity" or both. It makes no difference what
the math says since we know nothing about the probability and we cannot
ascertain any probability from any sample. The probability that God
exists doesn't change depending on the audience, just like the
probability of a fair dice doesn't change depending on the thrower (note
I said fair dice ;). To declare some probability means we have some
knowledge of God, but if we did then the whole issue would be moot. And
so the probability is unknown. For instance, the question is not the
same as trying to guess the probability of aliens existing in the
universe. For the universe we know the approximate size, and we know
that there are already creatures living in the universe (us). And so we
can try to guess a probability based on this knowledge. But for God...
we know nothing.

There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. Polls and surveys merely
point out social trends. Nothing more. There are no scientific studies
that can give you the probability that God exists and any probabilty
based on social trends is bogus.

Maybe. Just because you're within the bandwagon effect doesn't mean you
chose based on the bandwagon. For footers it may just be a case of "Wow,
I never knew you could do that!" versus "OMTG I gotta have me a footer
cuz everyone else has one and I don't want to be left out!" :)

Well as long as we're quoting famous old fence-sitting agnostics, lets
not forget Sagan's best:
I wasn't quoting -- I was providing reference.
'If by "God" one means the set of physical laws that govern the
universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally
unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of
gravity.'
Seems an obvious statement.

Tedd - the world is not limited to PHP contractors. Think about people
writing products that they sell.
Been there, done that for a long time -- decades in fact. I wrote a
lot of Mac and Apple applications.
I finally arrived at a place where I realize that the time it takes
to protect what you've done cost you more than it would if you just
moved on to the next project.
Also, it's usually not the code that matter as such, it's the algorithm
or the method.
Expose the method and usually someone can duplicate and improve it.
So that goes to my first point -- why spend effort trying to stop
someone who can't be stopped?
Now, that doesn't mean that you can't patent your idea -- and that's
the best protection I know.

Yeah, that confused me too. Especially when I saw you arguing with yourself.
Also, the phrase:
"Rob (Other Rob that is actually called Andrés)"
would read better as:
"Rob (Other Rob who is actually called Andrés)"
Why don't you use the name Andrés ? That's much better than "Rob" anyway. ;-)

Hi
Thank you for answer, but I do not understand.
How can I use this class Errno after unsuccessful fopen?
I want to get the number, for example 13 if there is not enough permissions
to open file.
It is not problem for me that script will be no portable, it is
only for AIX.

In case you weren't be sarcastic... the intent of the above line was
probably the following:
...questions and help out people who try... and stumble...
Or more clearly:
...questions and help out people who try but stumble...

Hey guys,
Isn't this thread a bit OT?
Anyway, as areligious person I have to say that I really do not
like to hear religions trashed and smeared the way you are doing. And
just for the record, we Quakers do not believe God tells us to kill
people and we have no priests.

I dunno... as a religious person I would think you would think it was on
topic. After all according to your philosophy, God begat creation,
creation begat humans, humans begat Rasmus, Rasmus begat PHP. Who's
trashing religion anyways? I don't think I heard any trashing... or do
you mean the biblical parody site? Seems that's humour, not trashing.
Cheers,
Rob.

actually I think there was no trashing and smearing here, only some
decent talking about religion and some humor (the 'rewrite the bible'
site)

I'm sure you'll get an argument over the "no trashing and smearing here" claim.
But, in your defense, you probably don't realize
the disrespect shown, or that's perceived by
others, regarding beliefs.
It's a touchy subject and usually not one to
discuss with a wide range of different beliefs,
some of which hold other's beliefs in low esteem
-- as does the 'rewrite the bible' site.
Incidentally, which started the religious portion
of this thread.
I think we've about beat this to death, so we can
let it go and get our collective thoughts back to
more worldly endeavors. Besides, I'm starting to
get emails from the OT police, which I tend to
agree with.

tedd

hi to all,
I set up phptriad on my computer running windows xp. When I tried to
test php with the following program I got an error "Parse error: parse
error, expecting `','' or `';'' in C:\apache\htdocs\mytest.php on line 10"
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is an HTML line
<p>
<?php
echo “This is a PHP line”;
phpinfo();
?>
</body></html>
what is the reason?
p.s. phpinfo.php which comes with the installation executes correctly.

Use proper quotes (single or double as long as you are consistent) to wrap the
text. That is what the error is telling you.
Note that when using quotes, double quotes will eveluate php variables
correctly, while single quotes treat them as text.

mysql to develop web pages. is it the correct place to ask questions
similar to this? or is there any other group suitable for this?

hi,
I found an e-book in the net about php and mysql and with its sample
program I am trying to test whether I have mysql working correctly or
not. the following program gives error message. why?
<html>
<head><title>Test MySQL</title></head>
<body>
<!-- mysql_up.php -->
<?php3
$host=”localhost”;
$user=”root”;
$password=””;
mysql_connect($host,$user,$password);
$sql=”show status”;
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if ($result == 0)
echo “<b>Error “ . mysql_errno() . “: “
. mysql_error() . “</b>”;
else
{
?>
<!-- Table that displays the results -->
<table border=”1”>
<tr><td><b>Variable_name</b></td><td><b>Value</b>
</td></tr>
<?php3
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_rows($result); $i++) {
echo “<TR>”;
$row_array = mysql_fetch_row($result);
for ($j = 0; $j < mysql_num_fields($result); $j++)
{
echo “<TD>” . $row_array[$j] . “</td>”;
}
echo “</tr>”;
}
?>
</table>
<?php3 } ?>
</body></html>

What exactly does the error message say? We can help troubleshoot
errors much better with error messages. :)
<html>
<head><title>Test MySQL</title></head>
<body>
<!-- mysql_up.php -->
<?php3
Change <?php3 to <?php - everywhere in your code.
By the fact that it's using <?php3 I'm guessing this is a very old
tutorial. I'd strongly suggest using a more recent tutorial. There
have been lots of changes since PHP3 and there's no reason to start
with such an old version.
Here are some places to start:
http://devzone.zend.com/article/627-PHP-101-PHP-For-the-Absolute-Beginner
http://hudzilla.org/phpwiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
I also strongly suggest taking some time to go through the manual.
Browse through the different sections and get an idea for what is
available. Obviously I'm not suggesting you memorize the manual, but
I've found it very helpful to occasionally browse through a section or
two in the manual, I always seem to find functions I wasn't aware of
before. This really helps in deciding the best way to solve a problem.
if ($result == 0)
echo “<b>Error “ . mysql_errno() . “: “
. mysql_error() . “</b>”;
Is this all on one line in your code? If not it needs to be inside
curly braces, though this could be just a case of long lines be broken
up by your email software. For consistency and readability, especially
when starting with a new language, I tend to always use curly braces -
even if not needed.
if ($result == 0)
{
echo '<b>Error ' . mysql_errno() . ': '. mysql_error() . '</b>';
}
else
{
?>
<!-- Table that displays the results -->
<table border=”1”>
<tr><td><b>Variable_name</b></td><td><b>Value</b>
</td></tr>
<?php3
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_rows($result); $i++) {
echo “<TR>”;
$row_array = mysql_fetch_row($result);
for ($j = 0; $j < mysql_num_fields($result); $j++)
{
echo “<TD>” . $row_array[$j] . “</td>”;
}
echo “</tr>”;
}
?>
One last suggestion, indent your code. For example:
else
{
?>
<!-- Table that displays the results -->
<table border=”1”>
<tr><td><b>Variable_name</b></td><td><b>Value</b></td></tr>
<?php
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_rows($result); $i++)
{
echo '<TR>';
$row_array = mysql_fetch_row($result);
for ($j = 0; $j < mysql_num_fields($result); $j++)
{
echo '<TD>'. $row_array[$j] . '</td>';
}
echo '</tr>';
}
?>
</table>
<?php
}
?>
While it's not necessary, I find it much easier to read and
troubleshoot code when indented.

because the ebook is ancient and <?php3 isn't used anymore [i'd sure hope]
try..

<!-- mysql_up.php -->
<?php
$host=”localhost”;
