Great job, thanks!
We updated your forum title to "Event Predictions Manager".
When you have time, feel free to post new events you created to either the "Members Only" or 'What's On Your Mind" forums, and promote the newly created events so others will know you created them and maybe play along.
If people start to play, we admins can clean up the main page a bit more, maybe even make it a toolbar iframe app for registered members; and help promote this as well.
We would like to see many events in play .... sports, science, technology and current events.
You might consider also posting regular updates in the forums (above) about the status of your favorite event predictions (event, time left to play, total played so far, etc.)
Thanks again ni2 !!

Its Italy vs Spain in the final on Sunday!
I hope this is going to be a "good" match that ends in 90 mins or extra time. No penalties.
I wasn't expecting Italy in the final, I think the Germans just went to sleep. But that said Italy worked hard and they deserve to be in the final.

ICONV(3) 1 ICONV(3)
iconv - Convert string to requested character encoding
SYNOPSIS
string iconv (string $in_charset, string $out_charset, string $str)
DESCRIPTION
Performs a character set conversion on the string $str from $in_charset to $out_charset.
PARAMETERS
o $in_charset
- The input charset.
o $out_charset
- The output charset. If you append the string //TRANSLIT to $out_charset transliteration is activated. This means that when a
character can't be represented in the target charset, it can be approximated through one or several similarly looking characters.
If you append the string //IGNORE, characters that cannot be represented in the target charset are silently discarded. Otherwise,
$str is cut from the first illegal character and an E_NOTICE is generated.
o $str
- The string to be converted.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the converted string or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
iconv(3) example
<?php
$text = "This is the Euro symbol 'EUR'.";
echo 'Original : ', $text, PHP_EOL;
echo 'TRANSLIT : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT", $text), PHP_EOL;
echo 'IGNORE : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//IGNORE", $text), PHP_EOL;
echo 'Plain : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", $text), PHP_EOL;
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Original : This is the Euro symbol 'EUR'.
TRANSLIT : This is the Euro symbol 'EUR'.
IGNORE : This is the Euro symbol ''.
Plain :
Notice: iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string in .iconv-example.php on line 7
