| Robert,
|
| I appreciate the first part of your response but I'm rather confused
| about the second part.
|
| I've "written" a good bit of PHP...have a whole site running it.
| Granted it was more hacking away at examples in the numerous books
| I've purchased (so I have spent a good amount of money). But this one
| is throwing me a curve
i'm sure you appreciate the distinction between amature and professional.
and, the money you've invested so far only goes to training. very rarely
does *anyone* read a book, learn the rules, and then employ that knowledge
skillfully enough to be considered art. that comes with time and experience.
further, hacking away at something only gives you a pile of shit in the end.
;^)
| I wasn't asking anyone to write anything from scratch...just tell me
| what part(s) I need to explore.
the whole thing! what i mean to say is that it is more important that you
learn how to debug rather than asking for help whenever you get stuck. start
with:
<pre>
<?= print_r($_REQUEST['sel_cols']) ?>
</pre>
| BTW, I am an airline pilot (a subject I could be considered an
| "expert") and have been called by numerous friends and acquaintances
| asking for my opinion on things for personal *and* professional
| reasons. I have never asked for anyone's paycheck for trying to be
| helpful.
i'm airforce f-18 primary - retired...and the only thing experts know is
that there is always too much to know and too little time to learn it all.
you're english is a bit confusing here. your friends/acquaintances ask your
opinion on things? like piloting an aircraft...or programming in php. as for
the paycheck...were we mechanics and you asked me to find out why your
engine - that you threw together from parts out of a scrap yard - wouldn't
turn over, unless i was getting a good reach-around, i'd just be getting
fucked by not charging...that is since i inferred you *would* be getting
paid since you are "under-the-gun" and all.
