[Phpwebsite-developers] Back from restful weekend

[Matthew M. <ma...@tu...>]

Well we are back today. And oh what joyous messages, comments, and email
await us...

Anyway, thanks for those of you with helpful comments. I didn't feel like
coding this weekend so thanks for being patient.

I plan on fixing the notices Don posted. I also have some new ideas about
problems people are having.

I noticed that many people were complaining about the modules menu. It
works fine for us but many Window users are having problems. One thing
that may be the culprit is the file_exist function.

file_exist might have problems when passed a forward slash for a directory
designation. Here are some possible solutions:
- Write our own file_exists function that changes the directory to a
Windows usable one
- use is_file instead (though I suspect it might have the same problems)
- Do not use file_exists and  just assume the image is there.

I volunteer to code IF someone will test it. I don't have a Windows machine.

I also have some more ideas about caching templates. Adam asked me about
making it smarter. I think I might have a way to do so. I will test that
today as well.
