I've also helped and/or solved your issues more than twice (once being today if you've read it and followed it). Most often my intent was to get you to try and learn and troubleshoot your own issues instead of posting the same code problems and syntax errors over and over. You come to this list "repeatedly" with errors that are caused by a total lack of understanding, and in my opinion, a total lack of due diligence on your part. It's not today or the past week or the past several weeks, it's been for quite some time with little or no improvement. If by being an "asshole", you mean the time that I suggested that you get an editor with syntax checking/highlighting because you posted a whole page of wrapped code that had a syntax error (missing semicolon), then yes I have been, though a helpful asshole with good intentions. At some point it gets obnoxious. When is that point? It differs depending upon the person. Many on this list have just stopped replying to your posts altogether. I like them need to see an attempt to help ones self occasionally before I continue with help. I wasn't defending your boss yelling at you, that's rarely appropriate. However, after the many posts from you on this list, to see "Need quick got written up yesterday!! OUCH", I felt like yelling at you, "Need payment doing your work!! CONSTANTLY" :-) As a CSS/HTML/graphics designer, did you take this job with the understanding that you'd have to learn PHP or did they just thrust it upon you? If the former, then you need to buckle down and learn it in a constructive manner. If your social life needs to suffer for a short time, then that's what it takes. If the latter, then maybe talk to them about some company paid training and mentoring from someone helpful that knows backend programming and PHP. I may be a "dickhead", but not "egomaniacal". There are many better PHP gurus on this list than I, and I know it. Unfortunately, many of them are ignoring your posts entirely. At present my social life is actually overwhelming my ability to devote time to PHP coding, however if you'd like to send pictures I'll give them a look see. I can understand your frustration and can tell that you're very stressed, so I will attempt to not be an "asshole" nor a "dickhead", but please show a little more devotion to learning and helping yourself. -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
