[PHP] PHP implementation of something like Apache's mod_speling?
As I assume most of you know, mod_speling (sic) is a feature of the Apache httpd that will suggest possible corrections to URLs. i.e. if you look for /sidebar/ on my site you'll get a 404 because the actual URL is /sidebars/ The problem is that some sites don't enable mod_speling and some don't use Apache ;-) Before I reinvent the wheel, I thought I'd ask if anyone had written some PHP to cover this... I didn't find anything useful in Google or HotScripts TjL -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you follow the route that several folks suggest and go with one of the 'install everything' routes, be sure to install the same versions ... for example, some of them install older versions of PHP which may change some things (ala register_globals) so your scripts may work on your local development machine but not on the actual server.

To quote a friend of mine: "The only way to see how this will work is to see how this will work." Get some server space with the software installed, and play with it. There's free space available for this purpose at http://www.evolt.org and http://f2o.org/ and I'm sure others as well, but it's best if you can setup a little 'sandbox' to play in on the actual machine that you are using so that you are testing on the same versions, same config that you will be running on.

[PHP] Re: Redirect Question
FWIW, a user note at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php says : There is this nasty bug in IE 5 for Windows prior to service pack 2, described in Microsoft knowledgebase article Q281197 which causes a problem with redirecting.. if you submit a POST form to a page that uses header() to redirect to another page after processing the form data, then IE will not display some of the images on the page, if the user has an "external HTTP namespace handler" (RealDownload for example) installed. It took me a very long time to figure this out; I had no idea why my ads weren't displaying on IE for windows but worked fine everywhere else. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

And then you STILL have to allow users a way to come back and 'unset' their preference later, to deal with folks who have laptops and connect with high speed access at one location and then low speed access at another. Others' comments about letting the user choose are wise too... just because I'm on a fat pipe doesn't mean I want to let you use it ;-) There are folks who have a limited amount of bandwidth allocated per month and are careful about not exceeding it (yes that limitation would drive me nutes too, but that's beside the point). Most people in the world are still on "slow" pipes. I'd either default to sending them to the low version & let them switch if they want or dump the whole idea and just make one version that is a balance. Or not... Amazon.com offers (or did at least) a text-version but I'd much rather surf their "regular" site with images turned and then just turn images on (by pressing 'g' in Opera thankyouverymuch :-) than have to go through their 'low bandwidth' version. I think this is one of those ideas that makes a lot of sense in the abstract until you have to deal with all the other variables of life.

[PHP] Dealing with spaces and punctuation in uploaded filenames (tjlq)
I am using this basic example (from the manual iirc) for uploading files
Upload this file:
What I am trying to do then is to remove any spaces or punctuation that
might be in the filename.
This is what I am using for the filename:
$FILENAME = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
and this is what I was trying to use to remove the space and punctuation
(all one line, might wrap in email):
$SAFEFILENAME = ereg_replace ("[[:punct:]]+[[:blank:]]+", "", $FILENAME);
But that does not seem to be working, and I have not been able to figure
out why.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
