And reporting the sites to Google does nothing. Most to the spam that is created, is generated automatically, and the user never sees the pages anyway. Moderator: And that comment had a spammy link in it. So guess whose side the commenter is on? There is never going to be a 100% solution to comment spam.

There are lengthy posts about it on the Clipperz blog. (www.clipperz.net) To test this proposal we are planning to: - design an API for the reputation managers; - implement a functional and free reputation manager service at clipperz.com (the site will go live shortly) - (trying to) implement reputation modules for a couple of leading blogging platforms (with a lot of help from their communities) Anyone interested?

The error occurs if you enclose a string into single quotes, because then the variable will be treated as ordinary character sequence. In order to make it work as actual variable,you either needed to use double quotes or write it as string concatenation similar to this: 'blah blah blah' . $word . 'blah blah blag'; Probably someone who's just got started with PHP, because advanced programmers are familiar with the difference between single and double quotes :-) Olliver Judging by the variable convention the programming language is either Perl or PHP.
