If only it were that simple.
When one is developing, one is always changing. And even when you're
finally "live and on the air", you will still be changing or else your
site will die before your client gets a chance to see all you can offer.
It's a matter of evolution and adaptation, Darwin. ;-)
Agree with PJ here:
More likely, you go live and the boss says "Can you make that look
more like ...?"
"Er, yes, but it totally stuffs the whole design..."
If your Boss wants you to "test out" designs for his approval, that's
one thing. I see no problem with a "Let's see what this might look
like?" initial design decisions -- after all, he's paying for your
time.
However, IMO his buck would be better spent if he hired a designer to
design something around the needs of the project. I understand that
sometimes "Bosses" aren't the brightest lot when it comes to things
outside of their job description. But it is also your charge to
explain the change asked for "totally stuffs the whole design..." If
your Boss doesn't care about cost overruns in development, then start
studying for his position because his boss does.
I am addressing what to do with clients who change their minds on
agreed layouts.
My practice is the client decides on a layout that fits their needs
before any development is done. If the client wants to change their
mind in the middle of the development stage, that's fine -- but they
will also pay for that change.
In my book, the "best" way to design a site is to: 1) decide what
functionality is needed; 2) and then design a layout that presents
the functionality in an attractive and accessible manner.
Creating a site is a lot like programming. The time spent identifying
the problem will: a) shorten the overall time required to create a
solution; b) and will also provide a more stable solution.
Cheers,
tedd

This may be a silly question, but reading this just makes me wonder --
you do have an appropriate <!DOCTYPE as the very first line of your HTML
to prevent IE going into Quirks Mode?
I don't usually have *that* much trouble getting IE to render very
similarly to Firefox (and IE8 is reportedly much better), but if IE is
in Quirks Mode it makes a huge difference and presents all sorts of
rendering problems. (The Firefox Web Developer plugin will tell you if a
page is rendering in Quirks Mode or Standards Compliance Mode.)
Cheers!

I have a form script that is not cooperating. When I fill out this form, I
get the checkbox "yes", but not the checkbox "info" Also, in the message on
the result page that displays, I get "Yes, send me referral Caaaaaards! at
the bottom. ( I have spelled card as Ccccccard and Caaaaaard to see where
they are coming from).
So if(isset) for the info is not working, but the if(isset) for the yes is.
I have switched positions but no change.
The link to try this is http://www.paulgdesigns.com/elk/referform.inc.php
Can anyone see what I am missing here?
Thanks.

I got both confirmations on the page, Gary, but in the second echo

out will display it, not add it to the email.

Well the line doesn't do this, the X values are linear. However the
Scatter works like this. ie You set an maximum X value and the X
values are put in the corresponding places.

The problem was and remains in httpd-ssl.conf. It is not at all clear
how the ssl.conf and the vhosts.conf files are related. The same site is
entered in https-ssl.conf and in httpd-vhosts.conf but uner different
ports *:80 and :*:443.
What is rather annoying is that in the ssl-conf file there is a dummy
setup but it does not indicate that this is what you have to change -
rather than the vhosts file. Nothing like having the blind leading the
blind. ;-)
I solved my immediate problem by modifying the httpd-ssl.conf file; up
to then I understood that the the configuration for vhosts depended on
the port where vhosts was pointing. Now, what is not clear is whether I
need to add more entries in the httpd-ssl.conf file for the other sites;
I would assume yes.
Thanks for responding. PJ

The problem was muddy instructions for the setup. I finally figure it out.

I solved my problem. Problem was unclear directions for setup;
httpd-ssl.conf and httpd-vhosts.conf were not properly explalin for
configuration. The secure setup is done in the ssl file with the 443
port and the same host is repeated in the vhost file. I haven't
mentioned this, but my setup is with name-based vhosts, not address or
whatever...
So far as I can see, this should work fine for numerous hosts both on
whatever ports you choose plus the default 443 for ssl.
Don't forget, you have to have a certificate, real or dummy for this to
work. :-)

I'm running this script on a VPS which has a 10MBIT connection. When I
posted a link to this download stream php file about 50 users started
download it, then the script stopped from sending the whole file (for
instance, the file is 5MB, the script sends 2MB, 1MB and it continue this
way).
In the apache log file I have seen these lines, but I have no idea what are
their meaning:
[Fri Jun 05 22:02:28 2009] [error] (12)Cannot allocate memory: fork: Unable

I have no idea what's going on. Any ideas to solve this issue will be very
appreciated. My 12K users are suffering right now, I would really really
appreciate any idea in the right direction :) :) :)
Thank you!

My partner ran this command through SSH.
This is the returned value: (as root)
[r...@s1 ~]# ulimit -a

This is the output as the user files which runs my PHP files:
[fi...@s1 root]$ ulimit -a

I have no idea which of these settings can have an effect on my script, if
you have any idea that would be highly appreciated :)
Thanks!

if the problem is due to flow control issues between the script and the
httpd server then perhaps changing the approach could help.
i quit using this approach of writing files to the php output buffer a
little while ago. it seemed that it was better to leave the flow control
issues entirely to apache. so i wrote the file to a specific directory on
the server and redirected the client to it, using the apache directive on
that directory:
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
you can use that directive to send whatever headers you need.
