Okay, about a dozen people have emailed me over the last few months to tell me my code is wrong. Which is true. The line in question is where I make the URL for the gravatar. <\/p>\n
I do it thus:<\/p>\n
The important thing being that the fields have an ampersand, followed by a semicolon. The API calls for just an ampersand. So my code is “wrong”, except that it works<\/strong>. If I use “correct” code:<\/p>\n It breaks. Wavatars show up, but Gravatars do not. Everyone shows up as a wavatar.<\/p>\n Other people report the opposite: My code breaks, the correct code works as it should. It’s pissing me off, because I don’t have the time or the patience to sort out this nonsense, which (I’m guessing) comes from differing versions of PHP. To really fix the problem, I have to figure out what PHP options or versions are causing the different behavior, check for them, and use the different versions of the URL based on those values. I could sink a lot of hours into a fishing expedition like that, and I just don’t have them right now.<\/p>\n Having said that, if anyone has a guess, please drop a comment. <\/p>\n LATER:<\/strong> Perhaps it’s not related to PHP versions. I found a case where leaving the “ratings” blank would cause my code to work, and filling it in would cause the correct code to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, about a dozen people have emailed me over the last few months to tell me my code is wrong.
