Yes yes, I know I can be an insensitive prick. Honestly, I try to better
myself. Perhaps I grow up someday.

Yes, it looks fine.

Sorry I couldn't be more sensitive in my wording, but I think you are being
a bit touchy. For the record, I didn't think you were a n00b, just one of
those guys with an infinite faith in their own infallibility, who
apparently get all huffy at the mere suggestion that they made an error.
If you find it to be some funky bug in PHP, then I will unreservedly
apologize for anything you find fit. Alternatively when you find it to be
some banal mistake in your code, I hope you'll find it in you to forgive my
bruteness.
