Re: Two PHP questions

Hi firstly, magic quotes have something to do with how your php server interprets the embedded php commands, or at least that's what I took it too be. I dont really know the details but it is definitely a setting in your php.ini. Maybe you can research it to your needed detail from that. Secondly, if your page is of variable length, there must be someway to calculate the number of rows according to the variable part. I'd count the number of set lines (ie: the titles, forced spaceing, etc) and add to it the variable number of rows or whatever you are displaying in real time. a simple if statement somewhere in the display routine should take care of inserting a top of page link.
