Hey guys!

Long time, no see.

Just wondered if any of you could help me out with a regexp that has been driving me crazy for quite a while now. The sad thing is, I had a regexp for this that worked before, but it got lost after 3 years.

$this -> regExQuote[0] = "/((^: .*$)+)/im";
$this -> regExQuote[1] = "<blockquote class=\"quote\">$1</blockquote>";
$fIncoming = preg_replace($this -> regExQuote[0], $this ->regExQuote[1], $fIncoming);

I'm sure you can probably imagine what I'm trying to accomplish if you put your mind to it. Problem is it puts every line in a new blockquote, rather than all consecutive lines in one. I expected $1 to be a back references to the collection of lines, and $2 to be each line on it's own, but perhaps I'm not seeing this right.

My ears were burning - somebody mentioned my name.

I'm doing pretty well guys. I work half time for a company, INKWELL Educational Inc. They specialize in School Administration Software. It's ironic. I never liked school in the first place, yet now I work with them on a daily basis; Go figure.

Anyway, just wanted to say 'welcome back, Dan'. Never thought I'd see you back around this place - then again I never pictured myself posting here again either.

Yes. Dan, Erwin, and I all shared equal part in the creation of MW, and Dan and I for Ampfusion. Yes, though. SS is Dan's own.

Can I laugh at ignorance, Danny? While Dan is very skilled, and deserves your vote, that comment you added just makes me wonder: What have I been doing on MustyWindows and AmpFusion?

On a serious note, I'd like to nominate:

Thanks everybody for the votes I received.

Hey guys. Miss me much? Haven't been around in ages. How is everybody here?

I downloaded it, and went to install it, but what other (2) files does it have to download? I wasn't expecting that at all. I stopped it, cause I'm on dial up and it was taking too long.

Okay, folkes. Enough.

There will never be one universal browser. Firstly, Microsoft and Mozilla; COMPLETELY different views. Microsoft is content on keeping their source private, while Mozilla leans towards the Open Source end of the spectrum. Do you really think that they could come to a workable platform if they had to work together on a project? No.

Secondly, even if all the company's you mentioned did come together on a project, and did as you say, is this not exactly what we blame Microsoft for now? Monopolizing the browser market? We've already went through all this with browsers, and meirly got to where we are today. Eventually, a group of people would not like the monopoly, or the way the broweser functions, and they will create a new browser. This browser will be "bigger and better", as many people see Firefox is to Internet Explorer, and we'll be right back where we started. A divided market, and a divided standard.

Now, as to those complaining about W3C, and their standards. I heard a comment about how horrible the HTML standard is, and that it should have been designed better. You have to remember, however, that W3C works with what they have. HTML existed long before W3C came along, and they have merely been evolving it over the years trying to make it better. They could not simply reform the (markup) language so dramatically as soon as they had any power, that it appears as a completely new language. This would, again, go AGAINST universal browsing.

To the author of this thread, I advise you to read a short article entitled Why Accessibility? Because It's Our Job!. I hope it can enlighten you a little.

You wouldn't happen to be referring to reading more then one word into a string, would you?

Yes, you would be correct...more or less. It does not need to be code that you will use in a lot of your other classes though. You could technically only ever extend the abstract class once. The point of abstract classes are to define a base that you can extend, and elaborate on but will always have that basic functionality, if that makes sence.

Example being a template engine. Say you have a abstract class, called TemplateA, ('A' for abstract) that defines the public methods setVariable(), and loadTemplate(). You may want to extend this class to include extra functionality. Regardless of the extra functionality you may add, the setVariable() and loadTemplate() methods will allways act the same, and thus there is no need to re-define them. This is a case where you would use an abstract class.

And I just can't seem to see the point of/understand interfaces at all, if someone could give me a hand in explaining it would be a great help.

Interfaces (as well as abstract classes) come into use more and more as you get into design patterns. Their purpose is to tell the implimenting class of methods that NEED to exist, without having to define them its self.

An example of this might be if you're getting into implimenting a robust data layer. You could define a interface called iData which could contain find(), save() methods. You could then create a new class called MySQL, which would impliment iData. Now the class knows of methods it must contain. You could also create a new class called Oracle, which would impliment iData. The advantage now, is that both classes know the methods it must define. These methods could not, however be defined in iData, as the interface to both MySQL and Oracle are completely different.

These are pretty simple examples, and they may not make sence to you, or anybody else, at all; I don't know. I've tried to explain them best I could.

Woohoo. Fog day today!

There is a Main tutorial for this:

Uh uh, think again. While I doubt Afro or Zendra would lock a topic about educational hacking of one's own computer/software (though they might), this topic doesn't fall into that category. His father locked him out of the computer for a reason. If he wanted him to have the password, he would give it to him.

Seccondly, he didn't say it was his computer. By the sounds of thing's it is his dad's, or possibly a family computer.

Excuse my guys, but have we completely forgotten about the BBS Rules? Discussing hacking on the fourms is strictly prohibited, and makes you eligible for a ban.

Thank you; thank you; thank you; thank you; thank you; thank you!

This'll make things a lot easier around here. I'm glad you guys found time to impliment it.

Thank God; Thank Bota; Thank Zuse; Thank everybody!

I'm sorry, but you're an ass and deserve this:

Boolean should not be capitalized. It is simply describing the variable. You would not capitalize integer if it was the the datatype of choice either.

You have no idea how long I've been lurking. Yes, most people may be looking for flash when they "Dont Now" how to make games.

And 'flash' should be capitalized. It is the proper name of the product, Adobe Flash.

My point being, don't criticize every little thing that people post here. Most users here are 14 years old, give or take, and some of them don't speak native English. You can not truly expect everybody to write perfect sentences all the time. Some sentences may be a little inane, but you can generally decipher what the poster meant.

Nah, they don't care. They're actually done picking for the year, and there's still a hell of a lot of apples out there. They say it's not worth them coming back to pick them. But we're alowed to pick apples anyway.

Oh, that sucks. How bad was it inside?

lol, the land lords here have apple orchards on either side of us (only the one side has apples though. The other was just put in). If I want an apple, I just go and pluck it straight from the tree.

I know I missed it, but happy Programmer's Day everybody. Did anybody celebrate it this year?

Um.... yeah. We'll need more inforamion than that.

What exactly happens when you load a php page?

I hate AxisHost. Let's play who can spot the problem:

http://64.22.114.234/~newampm/testpage.p hp

http://mustywindows.com/~newampm/testpag e.php

(those pages are at the same location)

Given the line:

if ( !include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/../EmberPHP/system/Ember.php' ) throw new exception ('Unable to load Ember class.', 401);

for the include.

Not too much I guess. Going back to school on the on Sepetember 4th. Can't really say I'm looking forward to it.

They both do essentially the same things, but Netbeans is like a pimped out JCreator that uses way too many resources. It's good if you have a good computer and will be using it's advanced features. Other words, go with JCreator.

And thus the reason I refuse to get a traditional job. I'd like the money, but it's not worth it if it's going to leave no time for coding & friends. When summers over, I should start getting more contract work from a local web developer though; putting PSD's into markup and such. It pays $100/layout, which isn't bad considering I can spend as little as a few hours on one, or up to 10 hours (hardly happens). I just wish it was more constant.
