Some of you will be aware that in the Tuesday Freeola Upwire bulletin we have a tip of the week. Every week I try to think of something useful to go in there and end up with standard tips. So if any one has any ideas then please submit them here and you will make my life easier. There is no GAD for this just the satisfaction of providing useful advice to your fellow Internet users.

Ah, here it is...

How about a page of all the old tip of the weeks somewhere, for reference?

I agree with turbo, I use textpad on the PC and BBE edit on the mac. Both have line numbers and some other nice features.

No, becuase you often modify code and then they all become obsolete. The best idea is to get a free proggy with line numbers, such as the quite literally excellent First Page 2000 (http://www.evrsoft.com).

How about if your making a Large PHP Script, to include Comments with line numbers, e.g.:

##### Line 15 #####
##### Line 25 #####
##### Line 14 #####

Basicly, keep cound of say every Ten Lines of code, so when it comes to running the Script for the first time, and errors pop un on line .. whatever ... you will be able to find that line quckly.

More then 6. There is a header then a top line of blue links then the bottom line of blue links then the red links then the page with usually around 5-10 include files and then the footer.

Headers and footers are absolutely fantastic. Also, from the amount of error messages I've seen over the months, I think you have ... 6 different files making up one page. Am I right?

Just to save creating a new Topic, Andrew, just thought I'd let you know that the popup user stats contain a few MySQL Error messages now, and under the Search/Getdotted Banner above, where the list of links are below it, the list of how many posts in brackets no longer shows a number, jutts brackets.

Headers and footers! Great idea, why didn't I think of it when our whole site works around that idea.
