PHP function names are case in …
PHP function names are case insensitive. Watch out if you’re extending a class with the same name but in different capitals. Don’t add a constructor, but if you do don’t make that constructor mail you a warning email and call the previous constructor.. (I’m looking at 200 emails generated in a few seconds. oops!)

Researchers highlight sunbed risk. I know someone who uses sun beds on a regular basis. She has a great tan, but what’s her future going to be like. She smokes too. 🙁
If you were going travelling around Europe for a few weeks, what sites would you look up? I used Google and found this site and this site.

British-built Corolla is What Car’s Car of the Year. I didn’t know they were made in the UK. I like the new Corolla, I liked the old ones too. My first car was an 89 or 88 Corolla!

AIB shares down 15% on US fraud revelations. Allied Irish Banks are one of the largest banks in Ireland. A trader in one of their US branches swiped $750m in the last year! He, along with the money, has disappeared after he didn’t turn up for work on Monday morning!

Wow! This is the first time I’ve posted from inside MSIE. I thought it hadn’t loaded properly as it looked strange, but at a second glance I noticed the extra toolbar above. Why can’t this be done with Mozilla/Galeon? It must be possible!
Some links:
Tobacco Bill to be enacted to fight lung cancer. No smoking in pubs! I’m all for it!
Insurance companies braced for huge claims after floods. But isn’t that why they’re there for?
Gardai face legal battle if they seek to extradite suicide man.

Lawlor begins third prison sentence at Mountjoy jail. He’s a sitting member of the Irish Parliment. Apparently, he’s bringing down some of the opposition too with documents he’s disclosed to the Flood Tribunal.
The election is going to be very interesting..

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY of Tuskar Rock air accident of March 24, 1968. I know a family that was affected by that incident. At the time, there was wild speculation about an attack from British rockets but nothing ever materialised from that.
Edit in 2025. That link is long gone. There is a Wikipedia page about the crash now.

Chinook crash pilots effectively cleared of causing disaster – I remember when this happened. As the article says, “Many of those on board were among Britain’s most senior counter-terrorist officers working in Northern Ireland.”

EC shake-up could lead to cut price cars, but not in Ireland. We still pay Vehicle Redistration Tax (VRT). A guy rang Gerry Ryan’s show this morning, and said he bought a Laguna here in Ireland and brought it back to the UK and it only cost him IR£13,000 before UK Vat (at 17.5%) kicked in. The same car is IR£24,000 if you’re registering it in Ireland. *sigh*
