*Gasp!* The Great Cummings is.... incorrect.
/me faints.
Actually, ccTLD's are just the very last group of letters. For
example, .il, .uk, and .br. However, the ICANN, registrar policies,
or sponsorship requirements for some of them require the use of an SLD
as well. For example, .co.il, .org.uk, and .com.br, respectively.
Some ccTLDs offer the SLD options, but don't require them. For
example, you can register .co.in, .firm.in, .gen.in, or any other
available SLD+ccTLD, or just the ccTLD .in itself.
Still others have no such requirement or even official SLD
endorsements, such as good ol' Canada (Land of Clan Cummings),
Ireland, and here in the US.

Hahah, I can't be right all the time :D I didn't mean to use TLD, I
meant to use domain name, but not including sub-domained names :) I
don't even know what that is rightly called to exclude sub-domains.
Anyways, those, by virtue of your above description can have two or more
parts and there's not a simple way to extract that part without also
extracting the sub-domain portions.
Cheers,
Rob.

True. Not without some static rules and logic, including
knowledge of which ccTLDs have required or potential country-wide
SLDs. Though I think the solutions provided by yourself, Shawn, and
myself would suffice for most situations. I'm hoping Tedd will share
his as well.

Like others have said, unless you have specific user logins, there's no
way to prevent people from viewing the form more than once. As you are
emailing them the answers, I assume there is some form of login system
being used, so you could use that, with some sort of flag to indicate
the email has been sent. If you want to future-proof the system, you
could use some sort of binary bit flag to indicate what forms they've
been sent answers to, for example:
0 - no answers have been sent
1 - only the first set of answers
4 - the 3rd set of answers only
5 - the 3rd and 1st set of answers
etc. This would allow you to use one field to hold sent info on as many
forms as you need.

Hi,
What do you use for unit testing in PHP? phpUnit, SimpleTest or any other?
Thanks,
