    Sick to death of failing...

    Hey, First of all: keep pushing. No one said it was going to be easy :) Have you ever launched a version of your product? Are you capable of creating the bare minimum that could be still useful for someone? It can be ugly, it can be featureless or even not as stable as you envision, but you...

    Conferencing/working remotely whilst being in contact with work

    I have mentioned an objective inaccuracy (Skype is available on web) and a more subjective one (video issues). You have come to this thread not to just praise the good things about Google's products (we agree they're awesome!), but also to talk about another product without actually making the...

    Conferencing/working remotely whilst being in contact with work

    Hi Yolande, It is fine to decide based on either your experience or reliable data. For all I know Hangouts might work better for video or not; I have no stake on this. My concern was with a fellow member (Alan) not disclosing their involvement with one of the offered solutions.

    Conferencing/working remotely whilst being in contact with work

    Skype is available on web and also has HQ video (plus other stuff anyone could find just loading their main page), but I guess that wouldn't fit the narrative of a reseller of Google products :-) At least you should put a disclaimer before talking about competitor's products, Alan. You have...

    Conferencing/working remotely whilst being in contact with work

    I'd say it is way better to have an IM solution. The problem is not just the two persons being in different physical locations, but also the person at home can't be always keeping a synchronous conversation :) If you had a chat or Instant Messaging solution (e.g. Skype) the person at home could...

    Does PHP or MySQL a problem with -in-

    Nice one! I wasn't sure how to fix this one :)

    Yay! ;)

    Does PHP or MySQL a problem with -in-

    Yes. It would have got Copywriters-Henley for $1 as it would match the -in- on Henley-in-Arden. Changing the regex to the one I suggested above should fix the issue.

    By the way, a wise person said once: If you have a problem and want to use regex to solve it, then you have two problems. Hope the above helped!

    Ok, I think I've got it: Use this regex instead: ^intown\/([^-]+)-in-(.*)\/ Start with intown/ Followed by anything but -, as many times as possible (i.e. until you find a dash -) Then -in- Then anything until a slash /

    Does PHP or MySQL a problem with -in-

    So here's how that regex matches for your general case: Here's how it matches for any other -xn- e.g. -on-: Finally, here comes your edge case, where the regex takes Copywriters-in-Henley for $1 and Arden for $2: This is because (.*) is considered greedy, so it matches as many...

    Does PHP or MySQL a problem with -in-

    A version of the regex? or a request like Copywriters-Henley-in-Arden? By the way, I'm assuming the regex shown above is for Apache and not in your application, right? Do you parse this anywhere else in your code?
  13. pjperez

    Does PHP or MySQL a problem with -in-

    You have two variables: $1 which is the business category and $2 which is the town. My understanding is that your application gets a request like /Copywriters-in-Bristol/ and then you capture whatever is before -in- as the category ($1) and whatever is after -in- as the town. However, if you...

    It's not over yet - EU

    The thing is, we are not paying £350M. It's not just handouts, but several rebates so the money never leaves our soil and we actually can dispose of it as we please. We will really have about £100M extra to dispose as we please - that's if the economy doesn't slow down and we lose profits...

    It's not over yet - EU

    It's going to be so hard to swallow when a few years in, we're not better off, we didn't have £350M per week extra and so many other lies. Apart from still having freedom of labour and a Norway-style deal, where we will be paying even more and have to abide by EU rules, but can't vote nor veto...
