Psychology Today rant

Today I came back to my PHP/ODBC coding problems. I finally submitted a bug report to php.net about the weird behavior. Last week I got a reply about my message to phpbuilder.com from someone who was having similar problems. He found a work around which I’ve tried out. It gets me closer to were I want to go but I have to do the same type or work around to get what I want. I don’t really like the idea of opening and closing my database connection every few lines… but it looks like that’s what it will take.On another note, I bought a copy of Psychology Today the other day the conveniece store, when I had the urge for some ice cream and a magazine to read (got Bryers Reeses Peanut Butter Cup). The ice cream is great, but I wasn’t very impressed with the magazine. There something about a psych magazine having full page adds for – “Psychic Breakthrough: Amazing Mind Training System Installs Remote Viewing Skills. Travel Anywhere in Space or Time…” – “New! ADVANCED MEMORY ENHANCING* DIETARY SUPPLEMENT” *usually small print disclaimerthat make you wonder about crediblity. How much they get for those ads. Do they really need the money that bad? If the ads work… some of the readers go for the stuff… it seems ironic/wrong that Psychology Today is the one helping to advertise the crap.
