Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
1) Flash menu - I want to use Flash for a menu or tool bar actually, cuz it ain't hierarchial...however likely not the most SEO friendly not good choice incase user doesn't have Flash installed.
Is it possible to determine if Flash is available on the end user computer using PHP? I don't suppose it's sent in a header or anything eh?
Do I have to resort to using client side detection and send that somehow to my server?
2) Know of a Kbase or search tool which uses advanced techniques as opposed to simple built-in FULLTEXT search? Most of what i've found seem to just use FULLTEXT, which is nice, but not the best it could be?

2) I don't know
Remember that you should ALWAYS include a non-flash version that the spiders can crawl.
Yes, but I figured maybe, I dunno...that info was sent in by the browser via headers maybe... ???
Thats what I don't like about using Flash, but it's sooo coool
I personally dont like seeing flash on websites, although I do find them much more fitting for videos, presentations, etc. Yes it is cool, I just have too many problems with it.
