I received an email from a client saying they'd entered the minimum criteria on my booking form i.e. a contact number or email address but were receiving the following message:
Not transmitted
Error:
Please supply your Telephone number or Email address!
I had a look at the form using Dreamweaver plus tested the form online, I was baffled so decided to check the Freeola website to see if any changes had been made and was annoyed to find the following:
UPDATE 7/6/04
Following a security upgrade, a change has been made to our PHP configuration to switch register_globals OFF. This basically means that statements such as:
echo $my_variable_name;
will no longer function correctly. There is a simple resolution to this problem in the form of some code that should be inserted into the top of your page. Here are some examples:
If the variable you are trying to access is passed via the URL string:
$my_variable_name=$_GET["my_variable_name"];
If the variable you are trying to access is passed via a form post operation:
$my_variable_name=$_POST["my_variable_name"];
If the variable you are trying to access is a server environment variable:
$my_variable_name=$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
The code in my form is:
if ($tel == "" && $email == "")
{
echo "Not transmitted";
echo "
Error:
Please supply your Telephone number or Email address!
Click on the BACK button on your browser to return to the form";
}
else
{
echo "Successfully transmitted";
Not transmitted

The actual form_to_mail.php script had to be looked at by one our techies (basically we do not have full access to the servers from the support desk, so we couldn't look into this ourselves), but we had ongoing problems with a few of our servers that meant it was over a week until it was fixed.

Damn faptard! I've admitted to arrogance, there is nothing there for you to feel the need to comment on? You made the statement, I admitted it! So your right, along with everyone else I've ever met, delt, partied or slept with!
Instead of wating your time slating others, maybe you should return to your little bedroom and find something worth while in life doing...
Like hanging your self maybe?

Lolage. I'd be the first to admit I'm arrogant, the wife also tells me this on a daily basis as well as my boss, but so what, I worked my knackers off over the last 8 years to get where I am, and I'm good and I'm respected by many for this.
Who's the one earning in excess of £40,000 a year?
Never believed in beating about the bush, always believed in critisim, and those who can't handle it, shouldn't be trying so hard to get into an industry which is full of arroganmt self worth people.
I'm just as open to comments and critisim aboutmy work just as much as anyone esle around here, but thats where my arrogance stops as user feedback is the most important process in any IT based deliverable.
fwiw, I'd prefer people toleave my name out of dumb @ss arguments based on peoples inability who are just looking for a scape goat for their own faliures.

Yeah I'll leave the envy to you.
Best you stick with php...
So you're saying that Turbo is an anagram of an anagram? Okay..

No, arrogance is when you're mistaken in your own self-worth.
And I'm sure Tyla won't be happy about you incorrectly spelling his name. TLYA isn't even pronouncable.
