Arrow keys + Page up/down not working in Firefox

with one comment

So, my cat figured out it was time to sleep on my laptop, he also managed to put Firefix into Caret browsing mode.

If you want to get out of it again (and then get page up/down + arrow keys working again), simply press F7

A lesson in PHP stupidity

without comments

1:  post_max_size >= 2GB makes PHP overflow, resulting in a negative post_max_size:
“POST Content-Length of 0 bytes exceeds the limit of -2147483648 bytes”

2: defining post_max_size (etc) with MB instead of M causes PHP to only read the last character, in other words 10MB becomes 10 bytes . How hard can it be to either use the first character or even better, both?

(note 1: this can be avoided by actually reading the manual, but this should have been handled better from PHP`s side IMO)

(Note 2: This experience come from the latest stable PHP version in SLES 10SP2, hopefully this has been fixed in later releases.)
