That's true unless you're pulling data in from somewhere else (i.e., a dB).

I didn't single it out, it just happened to be at the top of the pile at
the the time. It was also helped by the fact that the OP, who is
apparently, renowned for programming in rocks since the time before
binary was invented, ought to know list etiquette better than most.

Exactly how big a deal did I make out of this one? I simply said "ask on a
database list". It is the responses to that which seems to be kicking up
all the fuss.

I do, that's why I'm on the list.

AFAIK no list has the clause "once you have made X number of posts feel
free to do what you want".

That's "world renowned", if you please. :-)
But just to set the record straight, binary had been invented long
before I came along. The programmers before then had to program in
just rocks (1's). It wasn't until much later that the absent of rock
was invented (0's).
Now, you may not think that one can do anything programming with just
rocks, but that's the way the pyramids were built. Those old
programmers were an accomplished lot.
As for me, with my vast experience, I think that "list etiquette" on
an unmoderated list is what we make it. If you want to correct people
as to "list etiquette", it's probably best for you to join a list
with people who care what you think. Unfortunately, I think you'll
probably have difficulty with that as well.
It's unfortunate that you can't take your talents and help someone
instead of being so critical. To me, it would be a pretty sad life if
I had nothing positive to say.
Cheers,
tedd

Thomas:
I seldom find that performance is adversely affected by good
structure. So, I strive for good structure.
To me, good structure starts at the function level. Like the lattice
of a crystal, coding grows and reflects the most basic element. Keep
that element consistent and you'll find that it will be reflected in
everything you do.
How's that for philosophical?

Oh yes, it's very much like fractals, but the term "fractalism" is
usually reserved for art forms based on fractals.
However, one could conclude that all crystalline forms are a
"real-world" examples of fractals. In similar vein, all repetitive
processes (including programming) could be though of as a fractal
dependant functions. Interesting food for thought, which also could
be fractal dependant. :-)

Do failed tests mean I absolutely should NOT install. Or is it normal to
have a few fails? Try two different versions, all have some failure.

Which tests do you mean? On the end of the configure command you'll
see if there is a critical error. If not, you can make it.

My product/service is currently only a US/domestic one.
When the day comes that we need to make it international, we'll have a lot more to worry about than simple phone number display. There will be "gettext()" involved and .po/.mo files and all that other hassle (I know, I've done it before with other companies). Also date formats will change from m/d/y to y-m-d too.
So I would counter and say, a good site designer, designs for their target audience... ;-)
attached mail follows:
I should have been more clear. I do *store* the numbers sans punctuation, but that's trivial to accomplish as we've seen. I do like to display it however with the nice parens and hyphens. Hence "opposite". :)

Welcome to the world of f**** floating point numbers. Discrete mathematics,
leave all hope, ye that enter.
It's the way floating point number behave (a computational error that's more
problematic that one may suspect). You'll have to live with it, or use an
extension for arbitrary sized numbers (or fixed point numbers).
Why we have to accept this kind of behavior?
Long story short: they are excellent for computations required in 3d
graphics, they are lousy for business applications...
...and we all know that computers are for playing 3d games, don't we?
XD
Sorry about the noise.

Hi Support:
I've moved into a new role and inherited a system which uses the 'STRFTIME'
function to create a filename in the form 'strftime("%Y%m%d")'; the
filename is supposed to be "today's date". (Note I've left out the file
extension for clarity.)
I've noticed that system creates the wrong filename when the process runs
between midnight and 12:59am, during Daylight Savings time. That is, it
creates a filename equal to "yesterday's date". When run at 1:00am or
later, everything OK.
I've checked the Date/Time and 'Locale' settings in Windows, and everything
is ok. My initial thought was that STRFTIME was looking a the system clock
rather than Windows (?).
Can you help?
(PS ... please be gentle, I'm a novice at PHP!)

Malcolm.
