Dear all,

I noticed a few issues with my stack  (I had the very stupid idea to  
do a cosmetic change and then recompile and upload a new version of  
the files) and I posted a revised version of my stack, now called  
"Trim Outliers"

For the rev file (look for trim outliers):
<http://revolution.lexicall.org/stacks_education.php>
For the standalone (mac, windows, unix):
<http://revolution.lexicall.org/paypall/trim_outliers/>

A demo data file has been added to let you test the application.  
Explanation on how to use it are in the documentation page above.

I have done my best to track all possible problems but I only have a  
mac available here. If you happen to try the application and notice  
anything strange, please let me know.

On PhP, I prefer PhP for the web, mostly because I find everything I  
need available for free. Also because it is easier to generate web  
content on the fly. Simple things like "and here come some text with  
$aVariable" or 'here is some "quoted text"'. I find the need to write  
strings like "here is some" && quote && "quoted text" && quote  
causing management problems. That's true that it would be very easy  
to write a function webify("and here come some text with $aVariable")  
but "here is some" & quoted("quoted text") doesn't really do it. That  
flexibility in the use of ' and " is a great php feature. Also, you  
can do on the fly image manipulation with php (GD library).
