Sometimes to make a program practically useful you have to take a pause after the proof of concept stage and ask “would you be happy using this program if there was a deadline”. Yesterday’s version of our “Tags Within Tags”<\/i> program would probably not have passed this test, but today’s more open version may go some way further down that track. Today we take yesterday’s PHP Nested Elements Report Primer Tutorial<\/a> as shown below and extend it so that the report can be run with the one lot of interactive input for more than one URL at once, so, in order to open up the program, but still shield from a bombardment of this rjmprogramming.com.au’s web server (we hope), we open up the functionality to allow:<\/p>\n
