ok wow! That's pretty awesome Pritaeas. That's going in my list of bookmarks ;)

Thanks pritaeas

After some googling I found quite a huge suppository as well:
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/

Is this possible? I'd really like to have a dropdown menu that doesn't rely on Javascript.

Any help would be most appreciated ;)

Perfect. Thanks for that d5e5. Works exactly the way I want now.

Strange, try using one word in your test with an illegal character in the middle of the word. That's what I've been testing and it only detects the illegal character at the start or end of the word

Ok, so it seems it's the server setup. I've tested the same pages on one of our own servers and it's working fine with special characters.

Thanks again to all of you that posted.

Hi guys

Thanks for all the input. My suspicions lie with the hosting company. We've had numerous issues before and the problem was always something that they hadn't setup correctly.

Thanks for that but there seems to be one problem...the 'illegal' characters are only detected if they are the first or last letter. If it's anywhere between valid characters it goes undetected. Is...

Hi cgyrob

Thanks for the response. My original statement is actually correct. I was being blonde and didn't change a class variable on my display page which was causing the issues.

Atli, you are king. Thanks for those first two links. Just what I was looking for.

As the title suggests, I'm having trouble sorting the results of a union statement. I'm trying to sort the results by date descending and it's coming out ascending.

I think everyone is misunderstanding what I'm after. I'm looking for a resource that explains the ins and outs of the http protocol related to uploads.

I don't need a work around on how to upload...

Php.ini controls the file upload size via 'upload_max_filesize'.

Ok, so it seems it was the MIME types in the end.

For future reference, is there any other way to find out the MIME type of a file (other than checking the file extension based on the name)?

Yes, file permission and upload size are not the issue. The server hasn't got error messaging turned on. I'll see if I can get that sorted out. I haven't echo'd the mime type to see if there's...

Thanks but my code still gives all my menu items the class of "currentNavSub". I'm not sure if this is because all links are the same page or if "?type=x" is irrelevant. Not quite sure...
