John's Needle and Thread

[G.Kumaraguru]

When I tried to escape in to vb-World,
I got this Welcome Message...


Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result
resource in /usr/local/etc/httpd/sites/vbforums.com/htdocs/admin/db_mysql.php on line 120


Parse error: parse error in Unknown on line 1

Warning: The length of the needle must not be 0
in /usr/local/etc/httpd/sites/vbforums.com/htdocs/admin/
functions.php on line 190


I now know the reason Why they call these pages as threads....

John, is this an attempt at humour ???

What is this Needle thing ?? anyone could explain that ??

Those errors are PHP's error message - they have nothing to do with John or any vB developers. :)

PHP's old way of documenting function usage was something similar to:
string str_replace (string needle, string pin, string haystack)
You'd find the needle in the haystack and replace it with the pin. Hence the first argument has to be >0 characters. :)

For me...a Person who has no knowledge of PHP...
It made me LOL. Ok.. anyway that's my Ignorance in the first place..
