Re: New forum software?

As for mobile responsiveness of phpBB, I don't know how the latest version fairs on mobile but I know, for sure, there is or, at least, was a script you could put in the root of the forum that would allow you to use your phpBB forum with an app on iOS

Re: Poll Site Feedback

I'll take those points on board. I did, however, think about logging the IP but I actively decided against it since there could be multiple people sitting behind a single public IP address (i.e. a NAT router) meaning the system would be rendered useless within a university or school environment as o...

Re: ASP.NET MVC 5 vs PHP

People pick ASP because it's Microsoft


I was once told that "No-one ever got fired for buying Cisco" so I guess they think that, if they go with Microsoft and it breaks, there is less chance of being fired for making a bad choice.

You can find the site at http://www.makepoll.co.uk and it emails you the results of a poll 30 mins after the expiry date (using a cronjob). It would be really great if I could get some feedback on th...

OK so the new project I'm working on is a system to let you create strawpolls and set expiry times for them. I am currently using a range to create the array to allow the user to select a number of hours. Is there a way of increment the array on 15 so that I'd have the array going 15, 30, 45, 60, 75...

Re: From MySQL to MySQLi

Good advice and, even though the mysql_ functions do work, people should be switching over. I switched from using MySQL to MySQLi a while back. You can also pass the connection variable as a function parameter which I usually do. [syntax=php]<?php function some_database_thing($mysqli) { some query c...
