Thantos: sorry, but I haven't checked this topic yet..OK?

Since you obviously haven't noticed, some people still use old-fashioned browsers like IE 4.0, Netscape, etc.

The old browser had many problems with single-quoted HTML, but new browsers provide better support for both types - single and double-quoted HTML...

But that I won't be talking only of past, you can check this link:

http://si.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php

This link shows how we do the HTTP Authentication under PHP. It is strictly recommended that we use double-quotes:

Compatibility Note: Please be careful when coding the HTTP header lines. In order to guarantee maximum compatibility with all clients, the keyword "Basic" should be written with an uppercase "B", the realm string must be enclosed in double (not single) quotes, and exactly one space should precede the 401 code in the HTTP/1.0 401 header line.

You got it?

No its not. Two days is a long time to not respond to back up your claim. Now if you hadn't been here during that time I'd be cool with it but you have.

I do not support non standard browsers and I do not support browsers that didn't come out in this millennium. If they can't get their act together and get a modern browser then to heck with them I don't need them on my webspace.

Was I posting code for the file header? No I wasn't. As such your "proof" is invalid.

You got it?

Would you like to try again?

Also do you realize Quantrizi that your

$name = $_REQUEST["name"]; // I always use request (it accepts either POST or GET statements) 

<form action="page3.php" method="POST"> 
Name: <? echo $name; ?><br /> 
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<? echo($name); ?>" /> 
<input type="submit" name="sub" value="Submit" /> 
</form>

has several problems:
1) your first statement isn't inside a php block
2) not all servers support short tags (should be <?php )

...

For point one, I was writing the code fast, and since the person wanted PHP, I pretty well make a safe assumption that s/he would know where to put the tags. For #2, read about point one.

If this came off as rude, my apologizes, but I personally can't seem to make this sound any more non-flamed i guess you can say.

You'd be surprised how many times I've seen the copy/paste, and then I am complain because they didn't actually look to see what it was suppose to be doing

That's crazy horse!

[Thantos]

It works for Microsoft it can work for me dang it! (Re MS has limited support for Win 98)

I think everything should be compliant with DOS and IE 1.0! But then we'd be going nowhere! I understand lol

[Waldo2k2]

ie 1.0 was on DOS? hmm :shrugs:

[Kleid-0]

DOS never listened to the standards *cries*, now I have to use operating systems that take up more than 512 KB RAM :(

That's crazy horse!

No, it's not really. I code to support the last few releases of most browsers. If you don't have enough time to update your browser at least every 2 years, you've got issues. And besides, if you have problems with my site, you're going to have problems elsewhere, and that's just not my fault.

I don't bother worrying with IE5.5 or Opera releases before 6. I also don't bother with anything concerning Netscape before version 6.

Anything past that is pretty safe. Anything before that was riddled with problems and doesn't support up-to-date standards.
