This drives me crazy about PHP -- I don't mind loosely-typed -- after all it is what I grew up with. OTOH, this business of returning a resource or TRUE or 0 or another integer from the same function -- UGH! My "favorite" is strpos() (to determine the position of a string in another) which returns a 0/False if string2 is not in string1 OR whether it is (and just happens to be in the beginning). So one has to use the "I really mean it" === (3 of them) operator. I have even seen a ==== (4 of them) used somewhere. Ugh! I have created my own functions from these. I wanted to call one IsTheDamnThingReallyInThereOrNot(<string1>,<string2>). > Ask any married man :) Or the fatal "loud sigh"! It ranks up there with "Fine!" as shorthand for "You are *such* an #&#$&# idiot" (or so I've heard <g>). > >> So, now the server and I are communicating, but the server is sending >> me back a very cryptic error message. > > Insufficient data. tell us more and perhaps we can shed light where > there is darkness. No, this isn't a PHP thing, this is the message being sent to me as a result of connecting successfully but not liking what I sent to them. As it turns out they didn't actually add our test server to the list of "approved" IP's, as they said that they had. They did now (or *said* they did), so I'll be able to test it again momentarily. > > A universal problem. > >> Why even bother writing such Official >> Documentation, and treat as if it were delivered by a chorus of >> angels?? </rant> > > Without more specifics, it's hard to help out Oh, thanks, but at that point I was just ranting and musing. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/a88b72f6-bfdb-43e6-841b-a573b502f...@information-architecture.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
