I'm trying to clean up strings in a web form before I plug the fields
into a database. Lots of folks like to leave caps lock key on and
yell their form entries.
I can figure out how to change strings to sentence case, but I don't
want to do it to every string since some correctly entered words e.g.
"to" would be converted unnecessarily (to "To"). I'm willing to live
with the over correction on a few strings, but don't want to apply it
to the entire database.
Has anyone used a function to evaluate whether a string has been
entered all in upper case?
Thanks,

Convert the string to all upper case, and compare the result to the original
string. If they are equal, the original string is all upper case.

Hi Brad,
Could you try this:
string a = "Dodo";
if (a == a.ToUpper())
{
// the string is all in uppercase!
}
Thanks,

Hello all,
I am writing a script where I need to use the system() function to call
htpasswd. I can do this just fine on the command line...works great
(see attached file, test.php). When my webserver runs that part of the
script (see attached file, snippet.php), though, it doesn't go through.
I don't get an error message or anything...it just returns a "1"
(whereas it should return a "0") as far as I can tell. I have read the

Hi,
Is there a way to provide a default for a function parameter.
i tried
function func (type, message, obj = "message")
but it doesn't seem to work.
It seems a bit ugly to make an if/else statement right at the begining
of a function, just to imitate this behavior.

Hi.
I want to write a program which does different functions according to input.
I need to write it as general as possible.
Example:
input:
Beep 2 <should call a function which does the beep (parameter = 2)*/
Funny_text 5 3 <should call a function which writes funny text (parameters: 5,3) */

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
