Good initiative. One thing though:
Please do not EVER suggest that people copy/paste your code. Do NOT
provide a nice option for copying it or suggest that "it will work if
you just copy this and add a suffix". Plenty of people will mess
things up somehow, you'll discover a bug somewhere, etc. etc.
Copypasted code is one of the worst things the web has done. So please
don't add to it :)

Peter:
Thanks, but the point here *is* to get people involved using PHP.
The code I've placed in the "Copy/Paste" sections will work "as-is"
*IF* the users follow directions. I've tested it and it does work.
Granted, for over a dozen years I've provided various "code" to users
and have more than my share of stories to tell of how they don't
follow directions -- just take a look at my "Web Tips" pages.
However, I would have greatly appreciated someone showing me what an
include was back in 1998. It could have saved me a lot of trouble.
This is just one way to give-back.
Cheers,
tedd
