>I don't know, but on a point of anal verbosity, your array elements should
be single- or double-quoted. (If error_reporting() is set to E_ALL, your
application will throw errors. And you should always develop with
error_reporting() set to E_ALL. :)
Also, I know there's a bit of an ongoing argument about the <?= shortcut,
but I can't see it disappearing anytime soon:
<TD><?=$my_res['date']?></TD>
<TD><?=$my_res['client']?> </TD>
<TD><?=$my_res['ponum']?></TD>
<TD><?=$my_res['ship']?>kwg</TD>
(Personally speaking, I rarely print to stdout anymore, unless processing is
heavy and I'm pushing status information with flush(). I usually push all
output into a buffer for processing before final output. This sounds a
little odd - it effectively defeats the purpose of using a preprocessing
language - but again it's just a matter of personal taste and "how things
become to be done". As PHP matures, I mature. A little. :)
