PeterSmith: > It obviously did allow upper case once because my original database has them . The _control panel_ does allow uppercase letters, the _members area_ did not. Note that these are two different interfaces. Both interfaces expose basically all account functionality, but they are structured differently. PeterSmith: > Admin, is it possible for you to enable full read/write access to my existing database? If so I will not need to bother you further. I can’t, and you would. I’m 99.99% sure that your already have this access, and I cannot enable something that’s already enabled. I’ve never seen this go wrong for individual databases. It could happen in theory, but it’d be a first. And the only thing we know right now is that your code is crashing. There is an EXTREMELY long list of reasons why that could happen, the overwhelming majority of which is more likely than a database permission issue. So let’s just focus on actually troubleshooting this issue and figuring out what exactly goes wrong, instead of going straight to speculation on never before seen issues. PeterSmith: > but I can’t see anything called client area or php options. You can change the settings from the control panel or the members area. In the members area, go to the Hosting Accounts page, and click on your domain on the page. Then, in the sidebar, is an Advanced section where you can find the PHP options. In the control panel, the option is called “Alter PHP Options”.

Howie co-founders Dave Newman (left) and Austin Petersmith. (Howie Photo) Earlier this week I was on an email thread with someone trying to schedule a video call. “@Howie can arrange time for a 45min chat,” they wrote. After a few emails, Howie helped confirm a time. “Any materials or agenda items you would like me to add to the meeting description?” Howie asked. This seemed like a typical back-and-forth email-based coordination. Except Howie isn’t a real person. Howie is a new AI-powered assistant that lives in your email inbox and wants to establish itself as the go-to AI secretary for anyone who schedules a lot of meetings.
