Title: Oh, the irony.
Post by: Daddy on May 02, 2008, 08:38:16 PM
The PHP Tutorial that I had bookmarked isn't working right now.

The problem?  Something to do with PHP: I think.

Remember when Bassir redirected you to lemonparty?  He used an if else statement in PHP to do it.

This is how you know I didn't give you the error last night; I don't know PHP.

Not really ironic.

He's trying to connect to xml.amazon.com which is unavailable right now, or just doesn't exist at all.

I like the thumbs up in their logo. You know it has to be reliable, because a disembodied hand with three fingers is giving it thumbs up!


And it looks like the problem is actually to do with them trying to use a deprecated amazon.com service, because I went to the URL in the error message and got this:
