Here is some code I use to confirm the data from a form. I uses an array called fieldname, if there is not a matching array entry in fieldname and $_POST, then it will not display that field.

The fieldname array stores the display text for the field.. So the key is the field name, the data is the display text.


<?php
$fieldname = array (
"firstname" => "Your First Name",
"lastname" => "Your Last Name",
"email" => "Your E-Mail Address"
);
// I use the name action for my submit button, and if the value is "Submit Form" I think call the confirmform code.

Okay so I have a situation where I need to tar.gz some data that is over 6Gigs.. But the target directory can't handle anything larger than a 2gig file.. This is some strange 32bit file system limit that I currently for various reason can not get around..

So I thought, okay lets tar it and pip it to split.. Right now I am testing this on a directory I have that is a hair under 1 gig.. I am going to test this by splitting it into two 500meg files. So here is what I am doing..

tar czf - /home/sj/ZoneCD/* |split -d --bytes=500m - /tmp/backup-`date +%Y%m%d`.

This was not written by me, but was e-mailed to me by my nephew. So I am sharing it.

Ralph and Edna's love story(truly romantic):

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end.

He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

It has been one hell of a year, so many things have changed in my life that it is almost overwhelming. I'm a different person than who I was a year ago.. The first major change in my life was I got Lasik surgery, no more glasses, this was a big step in my life, mainly because I never thought I would ever actually do it, but my friend Jeff talked me into doing it and I have not regretted it. 20/15 vision rocks :)

HR Calls..

HR: "Steve, So'nSo's title is wrong in the staff directory, but my spread sheet shows it correctly, can you make sure when you do todays update that it is corrected.."

Me: "Sure thing.."

Well I have decided to try Drupal out as my blogging engine.. I am looking for a module that will auto post my blog entries to my facebook and myspace pages, so any of you who know anything about Drupal, and modules, if you can point me to a way to make this work, just drop me a note.

This had to be the best weekend I have had in years, it started out with me meeting with Tammy to head to San Francisco to see a play.. Not just any play mind you, but an Awesome play.. What play was it you might be thinking? Well, Phantom of the Opera would be a correct guess if your were to make one lol..

One day you just accept the way things are.. You realize that life is the way it is, and it wont change.. You start to count your blessings.. You are grateful that you had the experiences in your life that you did, even though you realize it will never happen again. You are thankful for the things in life you still have, your friends, your job, your home.. But still deep down in side you feel that there has to be something else.. You had it once, but it is gone now.. Will it ever come back?

A Wonderful Woman.

I once knew this woman, she was so kind. Shew always had a smile for you, a nice thing to say and just had a way of making you feel equal.

When I was around 14 I was hanging out with my best friend, we were probably playing video games, or goofing around with his RC cars, or just causing mayhem in the neighbor hood, who knows for sure. We were young boys doing boy things.

I hate the Internet. There I admitted it. The tool I use most in my life, the 'thing' that I make my living working with is also the thing I hate more than anything in this world.

Here are the things that drive me Nucking Futs about about the Internet

1) Email Spam. Come one people who the hell really wants to buy your product? Do I really want a B4cht0rs D3gr33 from a school that can't spell it? My penis is fine thank you.
