Good afternoon. I'm having trouble getting PHP to loop from A through Z.
Here is what I tried, coming from a C background:
for ($l = "A"; $l <= "Z"; $l++)
echo $l;
// Returns A, B, C, ..., X, Y, Z, AA, AB, AC, AD, AE, ... YX, YY, YZ. (26 *
26 results!)
Interestingly, if I make it a "less than" operation instead of "less than or
equal to", it works correctly (except for the Z):
for ($l = "A"; $l < "Z"; $l++)
echo $l;
// Returns A, B, C, ..., W, X, Y (25 results)
Anyone know why PHP would do that?
Nope... but try...
for ( $l = ord("A"); $l <= ord("Z"); $l++ )
echo $l;
Also maybe check out the range() function.

I don't see the problem.
There are 26 letters. If you say start at A and finish before Z, then
you should expect 25 letters returned.
Maybe there is something I'm not understanding.

>From the PHP docs:
PHP follows Perl's convention when dealing with arithmetic operations on
character variables and not C's. For example, in Perl 'Z'+1 turns into
'AA', while in C 'Z'+1 turns into '[' ( ord('Z') == 90, ord('[') == 91 ).
Note that character variables can be incremented but not decremented.

Manuel:
A good CAPTCHA must be fuzzy. If you know other fuzzy CAPTCHA besides
these, it may help to sharing that knowledge.
Try this:
http://xn--ovg.com/no_bot
The point of CAPTCHA is to provide something that a bot can't figure
out, but a human can, right?
Well, for a bot to figure out the answer, the bot must be able to get
at the source code, right? Take a look at this source code and from
it determine the answer. Also, try to view the "content" source code
from any page on this site. I think this data is bot-proof, isn't it?
Or have I blundered?
Many thanks for any review and/or suggestions.

In test.js:
http://www.xn--ovg.com/no_bot/rpc.php?action=one
Unless you hide it in a different place each time, how useful is that?

How would a bot find it though?

I am aware of how to change the contents of a directory to a specific
chmod using a recursive php routine, but I was looking for a simpler way.
That's the only way.
Doing it through ftp, the ftp program does the recursive stuff - not the
ftp server.

In a way, yes. It is rather unclear because, well a 755 on a normal
file isn't and shouldn't be needed.
It also depends on how the file is created, by default most file
creation tools will always try to create a file with 666
permissions and directory creation with 777. The umask is an XOR
value that should be applied to the creation.
Assuming umask is set to 022, when you create a dir
777 XOR 022 == 755; make a file, 666 XOR 022 = 644.
So if your directories dont end up with a 755 setting your umask is
set to something other than 022.

Directoryies require that you have the x (execution aka octet 1) bit set in
order to get a listing of the directory. Thus why you have 755 on
directories.
Files should only have the x bit set if they actually should be
executed, otherwise they should be 644.
Now with all that. if you set a umask of 133, and dont need to ever
get a directory listing of files, you most likely will be able to
maintain a file structure that everything has the same permissions
but it will only be 644.

Your question is really not clear what the problem is. It seems
you are having some issues with permissions, and is probably due to
your ftp access vs your web access but that is a guess at this
point.

This looks perfectly fine.
There are a few things you have to be careful with:
- php strings can handle line endings, consider if you have:
$text = "Hello\nWorld";
echo alert('". $text ."');
You will end up with a javscript error.
- A typical javascript file that resides on on a webserver will
only be requested once from the webserver (pending cache
settings) so resources for a page load will be minimal. If you
have a php script output javascript, the browser will request
the file on each request.

I use Fx 1.5.0.1 and Opera 9-prev2 and everything seems to be Ok. The
select it's inside a form, and my guess is that you haven't set any
padding/margin for that form, so try adding something like
FORM {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
By the way, this questions should not be here, what Kim posted was a
really better place to post it: http://www.css-discuss.org
--having said that, I must confess I thought I was reading a message
from that list, so maybe you got confused as well?
