What would Google know about newsgroups?
He's a Google user, he ought to be at least familiar with their
help section.
Yeah. What he might not realise from reading Google's help pages is
that newsgroups are not a Google product, but a well-established
on-line society to which Google has attached itself like a remora.
Did you actually READ the link I provided?
Yes, actually. Hence "might not" rather than "will not".
There is no document that can't be misinterpreted by a sufficiently
stupid reader. The one I pointed to was clear enough in my mind for the

You apparently mentally snipped too much, for the distinction I was
drawing was between a simple and derived type.
That distinction is irrelevant in this case.
You claimed that array types are not types. You were wrong.

So what? As I've said ad nauseam, you can't prove it by example, only
disprove by counterexample.
Fine, forget about examples and counterexamples .
int is a non-derived type. The language supports assignment for type int.
void is a non-derived type. The language does not support assignment
for type void.
A structure type is a derived type. The language supports assignment
for structure types.
An array type is a derived type. The language does not support
assignment for array types.
Conclusion: The fact that assignment is not supported for array types
has nothing to do with the fact that array types are derived types.
You claimed that there was a relationship. You were incorrect.

Is an array type a type? You said upthread that it isn't.

Yes, it would have been clearer. It would also have been correct,
which your original statement quite simply was not.
My original statement was absolutely correct, An array is a derived
type.
One of your original statements was that an array is a derived type.
That's absolutely correct, and nobody has claimed otherwise.
Another of your original statements was that an array is not a type.
That's wrong; an array is a type.

You're probably confusing me with some others in this thread. I
treated "isn't a type" as "isn't a simple type" in my replies. Please
re-read my message.
And I showed that you /can/ assign to a struct using that same method.
So what? As I've said ad nauseam, you can't prove it by example, only
disprove by counterexample.
It disproved your claim that you cannot assign to a struct using that
same method.
What you probably meant, is that I cannot prove that it applies to /
all/ structure types using just an example. If that's not what you
meant, you're wrong.

The point was that the information I provided, even though it came from
Google, was pretty decent for a brief overview.

Hi.
Is it possible in javascript to operate on an array without knowing how mamy
elements it has?
What i want to do is sending an array to a script, and this script should

Could you show me a little example how to do this?
Thanks.

Looking for suggestions on how to handle bad words that might
get passed in through $_GET variables.
My first thoughts included using str_replace() to strip out such
content, but then one ends up looking for characters that wrap
around the stripped characters and it ends up as a recursive
ordeal that fails to identify a poorly constructed $_GET
variable (when someone hand-types the item into the line and
makes a simple typing error).

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
