Error Checking (TOOLS)

[ShareInfo]

Hi...

Just checking if someone had some good links/sites for error checking.

I want to check out HTML errors and since I am using PHP I wanted to do some error checking towards PHP also.

I remember I once came over a site that provided me with all kind of nice checking for linking, html, download time, banner checking, and even some spell checking.....

My memory ain't the same as when I was 29.. , and since I did not bookmark this site..... well.......

PS. I have tried out the tools here.....

Are you looking for a free service or are you willing to pay? The free service has been discountinued.

Looking for both alternatives........

I am willing to pay if it's a ok tool...

I am aware of your point with free services... when I find a tool or service I really need, I normally pay for this... of course I have to check it out first to see that it meets my demands for what I am searching for..

Normally a pay option with a trial period is a ok way to check things ok.....

websitegarage is completely closed, www.netmechanic.com has a pay service with a very limited trial on some services.

Hi nitewing.

I am not familiar with W3C validators.. Do you have some more info, or links that I can check out?

We use the W3C validator here, take a look in the left menu.

I checked out the HTML validation. Since I am using PHP, and in some case call up HTML variables there, I got a lot of errors that made no sence..

So I guess I will try and seperate some of my HMTL codes out and check these codes.

Do you know why they closed down the websitegarage?

That is how it goes for free stuff, once you give it away it is hard to charge.

I have considered making an ad free AHFB (in addition to one with ads)and charging a subscription, but I do not see that working to well.

FYI, the w3c validator will not and cannot check your PHP code. PHP is Server-side, so the browser never gets any php sent to it. Any errors will be HTML errors.

The most common HTML error when using a server-side language is failing on this character '&'. Its because its a special character.

if possible, use

& a m p ;

(without the spaces, forum is interpreting)instead. It works for links just as well.
