you have to love customers who think they are better, cleverer, more skillful than yourself. Although you have to ask yourself the question “If they are better than me, why are they paying me to do this work?

just had several emails from a client.. asking for something to be changed on their system so it works with their new code better. the emails go on for ages, explaining how their stuff is better and more complicated so we should change our stuff, and using lots of big posh, technical words. They even told me which file i need to change, which part of the file, and gave me some suggested code to help me out..

$allow_extensions = join(‘|’, array(‘txt’));
if( !preg_match(‘#.*?.(‘ . $allow_extensions . ‘)#si’, $filename) )

its probably taken him hours researching the problem, looking up the words in the dictionary, coming up with their solution, sending me all these details…

And how do i fix it.. i change * to *.txt in the code. 1 minutes work….
