    I'm back. I have a function whose primary purpose is to set a few variables. These variables are to be used outside the function. I'm having problems making them do this. I understand that variables in the script (outside the function) aren't available inside the function (this isn't a...

    Hello again everyone. I'm back with another probably-simple PHP question. I have a tab-delimited text file with two columns that I would like to get into a PHP array. So far I've done this: $file = file( 'rgis.txt' ); and that provides me with: Array ( [0] => 0198320493 2...

    Mounting NTFS volume as user (not root)?

    I'm trying to mount an NTFS volume on my Debian 3.1 file server. I'm able to mount it (as read-only) but whenever I do the owner of the mount point is set to root. When I unmount it, it changes back to my user. I can't chown the directory once it's mounted since it's read-only. Is there any...

    What is the connector called for joining phone cable?

    Hey everyone. I'm trying to find the name of the connector used to join raw phone cable. Normally if it was electrical wire you would just twist the ends together and be done, but I've seen something used in phone applications that does this better. Think of it as a phone wire nut, except one...
