OK spoke too soon :( All imputed data arrives in mysql, good. But, blogread refuses to display the comments. nothing - doesn't even count them. (or shows zero) blogpost does happily list the number of comments, and last one and when. so, assuming I've understood the logic, the .inc files should be w...

You :) Goshdarnded :D Genius :lol: yay, bloomin copy and paste. :oops: yes forgot to put that in, and i think its the same prob with the comments post. :roll: all this time i was worrying about the php (new to me) and it was the flippin' html (not so new) thanks for the kind words, i am fairly persi...

yes, the code had changed, i added Temors code (2nd post) I have removed it and the errors have gone :D however i'm still at square one. :( not sure if i'm the coding 'sort' :cry: i'm getting to think it's a server prob. like i said i have typed a far inferior blog in, similar effect, as soon as i g...

^ sorry mate that returned exactly the same problem of a blank page. i've ran all the pages through the cmd line: $ php -e 'filename' to see if that gets me anywhere, but it returned an 'empty' html I'm using; debian sid with; PHP 5.4.4-7 (cli) (built: Aug 30 2012 11:15:38) Copyright (c) 1997-2012 T...

Hi, i've been typing this blog in for weeks now. (i'm a bit slow) :shock: i've worked out a load of errors already - backticks, basic connection etc. (so +1 for not releasing the code) but i'm stumped. i keep scanning the code and watching the youtube vids, but my eyes don't seem to work anymore. in...
