Changes in html/php file format

oscar51 · 09:12 AM

1. Beginning on or about 21 August 2003, html/php files such as http://forums.techguy.org/member.php & .../memberlist.php & .../search.php seem to have a mixture of line endings. Some lines end with CRLF (0D0A) and other lines in the same file end with just LF (0A). Is this mixture of line endings due to a vB upgrade?

2. Also all techguy.org html/php files now begin with three comment lines each starting with '<script> ...' preceding the '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ...>' line. Is this addition due to a vB upgrade?

3. In a .../search.php file downloaded 11 March 2003, the forum names can be found in lines that contain the following string, e.g.: '... &forumid=19">Hardware< ...'.

In a .../search.php file downloaded 18 August 2003, the forum name is found in the same context as in the 11 March 2003 file, i.e.: '... &forumid=19">Hardware< ...'.

But in a .../search.php file downloaded 21 August 2003, the context of the forum name has changed to '... & amp;forumid=19">Hardware< ...' where the '&' has been replaced by '& amp:'. Also the string '&userid' changed to '& amp;userid'. Note: Ignore the space between '&' and 'amp;'.

Are these changes from '&' to '& amp;' due to a vB upgrade?

4. The file that is displayed as a result of clicking on the Members tab, 'http://forums.techguy.org/memberlist.php?what=topposters&perpage=10', shows 10 names per page. Using '&perpage=100' gives 100 names per page and '&perpage=200' gives 200 names per page. But values higher than 200 give only 200 names per page. So 200 appears to be the upper limit for '&perpage=' in this context. Is this a true limit or is something else going on here?

5. The argument '&perpage=100' seems to have no effect on a page such as the following that gives the results of a "Show results as posts" search: 'http://forums.techguy.org/search.php?action=showresults&searchid=566669'. I always get only 25 topics per page no matter what value I use for '&perpage='. Why? Am I doing something wrong? How can I get more than 25 topics per page? This is the page where I would really like to be able to use '&perpage=1000'. I "used-to-could" do that, but not any longer. Is this a vB upgrade situation?

Hey Oscar,

Thanks, Mike, for the links. They answer my question #3. My questions #1 and #2 are more comments than questions and are not too significant. My real interest is in #4 and #5. I really would like to be able to use '&perpage=1000' when showing the results of searchs for posts.

Yup, both of those have upper limits due to the processing problems we're having.

OK. I guess I want to be a CPU hog.

Maybe the new server will be fast enough so those limits can be removed. Wish, wish, wish, ...
