Thanks for the congrats. No need to visit the hospital, this time round
my wife was able to get a midwife and so the baby was delivered in the
comfort of our home :)
Cheers,
Rob.

You may have noticed they've been in shorter supply than usual of late.
I'm hoping to make a big comeback in the coming decades.

And I'm sure you looked just lovely in that flowery dress while
you performed those duties, Rob. ;-P
The first baby I ever delivered was in the back of a car being
test-driven at the time by the parents. (Using one of Tedd's favorite
phrases, for those of you who don't already know, I was a medic "in my
previous life.")
Again, Rob, congrats. Now quit using the child as an excuse and
get some work done.

If a company is advertising for web programmers and doesn't have it's own
web site in order, then I suspect there is a disconnect between management
and their technical staff (if they have any). If they won't listen to their
own people, or they don't know any better, then I don't want to work for
them.
That's not always the case though. It's not in my case, for
example. My company's website isn't up and running, but I'm able to
keep my staff busy and paid every day.
Then again, I don't publicly-advertise job openings.... yet. So
it doesn't apply to my situation exactly.... but just something worth
noting.
I might have been a bit flippant in my remark -- but I have had too
many clients who think the web is print and that's a big mistake. If
they don't realize that the net is a different critter, then everyone
loses.

I didn't think it was flippant by any means. In fact, under
normal circumstances it's very true, but I was making the case for my
own situation. Parasane doesn't have a website up right now because I
have neither the need nor time to rush getting it relaunched. Word of
mouth and reputation, thanks to scores of awesome clients, keeps
myself and my employees very busy. The web presence actually brought
in *too much* business for what I could handle at the time. Now that
I have the staff, we're working on putting together a new site and
system, but it's just not a priority.
In any case, if it's a matter of confusing web and print, you're
by all means correct. Even if both are being focused on the point of
design, there are more differences than similarities.

I took that system down several months ago to redo it and got
sidetracked with the Real Job[tm]. I plan on bringing it back in the
very near future with some better tracking and features, including
fixing issues that a bunch of people from here helped to fix.

Right'O -- O' wise one recently laden with wife.
In regard to "web v print" here's an article I recently wrote that I
shall be posting to my site after review:
http://sperling.com/article.php
If anyone see's any glaring mistakes or takes issue with what I say,
please pick your weapon.
I believe that it was Oscar Wilde who had a great comeback when
someone challenged him to a dual. He said "Considering that you made
the challenge, I have the choice of weapon -- and I chose grammar."

Not wanting to comment on your formfield validation, here's what I do
with file upload validation:
if (!isset($_FILES[$inputName])) {
// handle form error (e.g. forgot form encoding type!)
}
else
switch ($_FILES[$inputName]['error']) {
case UPLOAD_ERR_OK:
// process as per nicely uploaded file

// file wasn't attached; if mandatory, complain!

break;
default:
$errmsg .= "# error uploading file: "
. $_FILES[$inputName]['error'] . ".<br/>\n";
break;

Code elegance is usually in the eye of the beholder, but personally I

the include path no longer is relative to the directory that's being

the executing directory in the php script itself, I assume, but is there any
better solution than that?
If not, I went ahead with Richard's suggestion to use -q. Assuming a Google

suppresses the HTML headers from being sent?
