    I have awarded back all points and edited the question to include the answer for future people.

    Not a great question, and my apologies.

    I don't think I've ever seen any other question where the editor has put what the answer is in the question before...

    If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!
