Email form formatting problems

Friday, May 28th, 2010

I have a form which sends a copy to the sender. When I test the form using my own email
address, the copy I get as the sender has all the correct formatting. The original loses
all its’ formatting and line breaks.

Has anyone else experienced the same and why is this so? The forms were working correctly,
until I changed the recipient email address.

How to set files permissions with .htaccess

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Hi all,
When I upload a file on my server with a cms, by default the
permissions on this file is set to "440", which mean that the file
cannot be readable in a browser.

Do someone know a way to automatically set (chmod) the files’s
permissions to "644" with a .htaccess file?

Hmm, it’s actually not that bad, but I would suggest contacting your
local Blindness agency and getting one of their website testers to take
a look at your website.
Their is also some very good web accessibility checking tools around.
Maybe take a look at: http://www.visionaustralia.org.au and what they
have to say regarding web accessibility.
Note, they may be able to help you out as well.
HTH.

Suggestions for a database management system

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Suggestions requested, please.

For a database management system to handle a two record, free format
text data of highly variable record length (between 2  and 10,000
bytes), with an expected maximum of 500,000 record pairs.

Indexed within one record of the record pair on all ‘words’ not
contained within a ‘stop word’ list or perhaps comprising individual
records within another data file. Index of ‘words’ and also phrases to
correspond to the other record of the record pair.

Expected access to be around 50,000 requests per 24 hour period,
response time is important, disk space is at a premium and as such
solutions with fixed block text fields may be overly inefficient,
platform prefered Linux.

Sensible, thought out, suggestions by experienced database developers
should be welcomed please.
