I've built a scraping script in PHP to gather information from a particular website. I have tested the script thoroughly with downloaded HTML files from the target website, so the xpath queries are correct. Yesterday I tried the script for the first time locally but targetting the actual website...

Just placed an order, looking forward to seeing what happens! :)

I absolutely fell in love with Toronto after a 2 week holiday there. Amazing city, amazing country.

It's about the perception of value. There are plenty of people that sell a product for more money than someone else. They get away with it because they think the extra money is buying them more value. Put it this way, Apple sell an iPhone for over £500 while Alcatel sell a similar phone for...

If you have a high traffic website you should be looking at a VPS solution. Digital Ocean, Linode are both good providers and offer managed services.

As was mentioned previously developers can smell bullshitters a mile away. Fair enough you have a registered company, VAT etc but it doesn't exactly mean you're legit. And besides, everyone knows you should only spend a cheque when it's cashed, not when it's written. So saying the developer...

This happens all over the place. Companies will pay politicians to "lobby" on specific things in order to get their own way. But you never really hear who pays who what to lobby on something. That's all kept hush hush unless you really dig in to it. It should always be "buyer beware" with any...

It'll buff out.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a dildo and it's going to poke you in the eye.
