Simple Emailer

Okay, we all know how badly the php mail() function sucks, which is why I've written a little (I mean tiny) library which simplifies the use of SwiftMailer.
It only supports SMTP at the minute but I will be doing updates in the future.

Re: Insert user avatar images into comments

In my opinion it sounds like you'd be better off making users register a unique username first. Or if you want it so that people don't have to register you could have a "comments" table where each posts has their own unique id, then a "comments_avatars" or similar table which has...

Re: New logo?

Well, a logo and the general design of a web site are integral parts of a web site. If someone is looking for PHP tutorials, he is bound to come across tons of sites. People judge books by their cover - if they see a logo that doesn't fit a site or an unappealing design, they'll likely move on to t...

Re: New logo?

To be completely honest I don't understand why the logo of this kind of website matters that much. You come here to learn and discuss coding, not to critique Jacek's design skills.

Just my two cents.

Re: Which PHP framework...?

Check out laravel (www.laravel.com) - it's not traditional MVC (well, it's implementing controllers in the soon-to-be-released version 2). It's a great framework and I don't think the learning curve is very steep either. Also, you could check out codeigniter or fuelphp - CI is a bit dated and doesn'...

Re: JQuery load div problem

How about loading 'shout.php?part=1' then in the shout.php checking if $_GET['part'] == 1 and if it does then just echo out the div or something similar.

Re: BetterPHP Rocks!

Two moderators is enough for now We don't have terrible loads of spam here anymore after Jacek worked his magic Guest content is a good idea imo, but then they must be of the same quality as Jacek's tutorials.

You need to install the ffmpeg package for it to work. There should be instructions in the readme somewhere. Also it may just be bugged, updating to 11.10 broke the sound recording for me and I'm still trying to find time to get it updated. I followed the readme, the error was about there not being...
