Well it is wise to be cautious with HTML in this forum, otherwise you're likely to have stompy feet descending on you and editing you, and what's worse, telling everyone that they've fixed the five thousand unclosed tags in your post. t grin

It seems wise to be cautious with HTML everywhere, especially when you have a tendanacy to type the way I ride a bicycle (I fall off within two seconds. Every time). But especially here.

And on that subject, here's yet another little bit of PHP code which checks all tags for whether they have unmatched quotes of any kind in them.

Can URLs have apostrophes in them? Because t a href="http://www.it'satest.com" it's a test t /a creates problems, but I'm not sure if that's something that'll come up in any actual situation. (Forgive me if this has been addressed already. I've been skipping and skimming.)

I've never met a URL with an apostrophe in it, and I'm pretty sure tha'ts because you're not allowed to use them.

Can URLs have apostrophes in them?

Nope. So, not an issue.

stompy feet descending on you and editing you, and what's worse, telling everyone that they've fixed the five thousand unclosed tags in your post.

But what's happening here Angus is that we're building an automated stompy foot here. A kind of stompyfoot-bot or stompatron. So you won't even have the minimal human contact of an actual person judging you and finding you wanting, it'll just be an error message from a block of code.

I'm pretty sure tha'ts because you're not allowed to use them.

Are you allowed to use them?

OK I re-did the bad-quote-parser so that it returns, like the other one, a one for "something need fixing", a zero for "nothing needed fixing" and a minus-one for the only error I can think of, "where's the damn content?", using Rob's very sensible strategy of keeping the entire universe of negative numbers open for any other errors which we might think of.

You realise of course that if someone's bad typist enough to enter, say:

<a href="[URL]' target="_blank'>

it won't detect it, but hopefully that's a very unusual scenario...

HostRocket's network just had another hiccup, which made me wonder -- if HostRocket were to go out of business and close shop suddenly, would we be able to recreate our environment, i.e. php scripts, database schema, etc, fairly quickly?

I've got everything but the data, Tom.

So, how'd we do, bandwidth-wise, in November? And has there been any movement toward putting our archives off-site?
