Please remeber the following rules when posting problems and replies to help that has been offered:

1. INCLUDE the error messages and a detailed description of what doesn't work. Simply saying [b]Doesn't Work[/b] does not tell any one anything at all and is less likely to get a response from the community.

2. Post [b]RELEVANT[/b] code to problems. Dumping an entire pag ( consider than many of mine are up to 2000-3000 lines of code) is not useful. I and others are unlikely to looke thru a large chunk of code to find a missing quote or brace.

3. Use [b]GOOGLE[/b] and use the [b]SEARCH[/b] function on this site/forum before posting your problem. In many cases I have found solutions and answers using the above methods in about 1 minute. It takes more time to post the reply than to find the answer.

4. Please [b]DON'T[/b] post the same question in mor than one forum.

Thanks everyone and enjoy the site.

It also helps if people put the code tags from the BBCode around the actual php - it makes it more readable and therefore more obvious what we're looking at.
