BetterPHP

I'm creating some software like phpBB, not hoping to get anywhere with it but I want to have a reason to do php every so often and develop my skills. I know how I would do boths options in the title, but which one would be more sensable. By information, I mean, Forum Name, Max posts per topic, Posts...

I'm only in year 10 now, so I got my year 9 exam results.

Mathmatics GCSE B1 = A* (Only the first exam, 2 to go.) 108/120
ICT Functional skills exam = Pass

He wants to round to the nearest multiple of 2.5.

I got a AMD Radeon HD 6850 and it only just fits in my case

Fair enough, so posting through to a page on my server is the best way to go? And if so. I'd use hidden fields to post any other information such as IP if needed?

What about this?

Think about if you're selling some software, putting database details in the script to see if it's a right code would be very insecure, and also they could manipulate it go to their own database :L Also they could just delete the whole activation bit right? /E would I need to use some sort of encode...

It may also be like the same way I use my login script. I just select the username, not the password in the query. Then select information, but I don't directly use the password in the query, if it makes sense >.> So if they try to use the OR 0=0 or whatever you use to inject it, the number of rows ...

This isn't necercerally something that I need now, but I think it could be helpful for the future. Lets take vBulletin for example, how do they know if your activation key is right because it's to risky using a database as the software would give out the details easily. Any ideas?

You can use the hypercam 2 (to record the screen) with some codecs such as: - Xvid - DivX I personally prefer DivX, but that also costs (not too much). As for Xvid, I believe it's free and I heard just as good. You will have to configure the settings in hypercam to use the codec. If you just want a ...

He is currently making his own forum anyway (I think??? Back me up on that) so I don't think there would be too much point. It could help though I suppose, and only takes 2 minutes. phpBB has a feature for links on the main page.

Wow, I may just use this in my website! Thanks for this. I hate spammers! Doesn't matter too much anyway as I use email activation, but I'll have a word with the other funder of my site and see if we should use it

I agree with him, using (int) is a lot simplier yet just as effective, although your method is just as good. I use (int) in most cases as it's easy, simple, and effective (repeating myself ftw!). int is the best, the web host I use has a older version of PHP and doesn't support php_round_half_down, ...

Nah just the useful ones

Well I'm currently thinking about learning the GD Libary, and I could create a few functions I suppose. It seems interesting enough to not make me bored...

Do you think I should go through the whole GD libary, learn everything and make functions ect? Because it seems kind of interesting, but is it worth it?

I have actually made a thumbnailer which resizes the image, and recentantly created a function that changes the size of a jpeg image :L I could upload it if you like?

Well is the libary just going to be for specific things (i.e images) or just filled with any function? Because I think an image libary that uses default functions, but takes it further would be nice.

You could have used the switch statement I suppose xD but nice

Thanks very much Tino, you're a legend.

I want ' and " to be allowed through the database, but without mysql injection. I use htmlentities, but that doesn't do anything to them. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just don't want to injected :L I tried entering apos; in the articles to see if that's allowed through and if so I coul...
