Or, license it properly. If your code is worth a damn, plenty of legitimate people will buy it. The people that crack it will most likely represent a small, irrelevant portion of users. There's plenty of nullified versions of vBulletin and IPB floating around the Warez world, but those companies are still thriving.

No, it's more like, "It works fine in every other browser ever, but not in IE..." But that's really not true anymore, except for catering to older versions of IE! IE9 still doesn't support as many HTML5 or CSS3 features as other browsers. Plus, older versions of IE still represent the majority of IE's market share. Microsoft still fails to understand what updates mean. Chrome (and Firefox to a lesser extend) updates seamlessly and silently. But, IE is perfectly happy running a 10 year old version until the end of time. That's fine, if that were true. And the fact that Microsoft does not force updates means we will be dealing with IE7 and 8 for many years to come. That's why entities such as W3C exist. Unfortunately, Microsoft flat out ignores it most of the time. I realize not every browser behaves exactly the same, but most of the major ones at least try. As do I, but let's be honest here - the frequency at which that happens compared to IE is very minimal. I develop in Firefox, so most non-IE compatibility issues are with Chrome. It is usually a very minor problem, like something off by a few pixels. With IE, it's like, "oh my god my entire layout is obliterated". With Chrome it is typically a very simple fix, like a targeted media query to adjust a CSS style a little. With IE, it tends to be a bunch of hacky nonsense that just shouldn't happen. Yeah, but that's the problem. It doesn't matter if IE10 supports HTML5 and CSS3 in its entirety, because IE8 and 9 don't...which is what 90% of the IE community will be using for several years. The fact that browsers like Firefox, Chrome, and Safari have supported these features for years means that someone using a slightly older version is probably not going to have issues. Sure, Microsoft is starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But they won't have a comparable product for many years until the vast majority of their user base is using an updated browser.

This has literally no purpose. If you want to obfuscate the code, at least use something that can't be decoded in a fraction of a second, like http://www.ioncube.com/.

Yea, gotta love those squares that it displays. I don't know what your talking about... I see rounded corners... Only in IE9. Other browsers had that stuff years ago. Check out http://caniuse.com. Firefox supports nearly everything all the way back to versions ~3-6. IE9 doesn't even support half of it.

They are going to call it: NotRuby. And then, they are going to create a web framework and call it PHP On Poles.

Yeah, but all of IE together is still a decent chunk of market share.

Good.

This should just be "Class itself and its children." http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.visibility.php Huh. That's odd, as generally one wouldn't ever need to have a parent access a child's protected member (okay, that sounds dirty). The whole point of protected is to say "From this point on in the class hierarchy, only me and my children can see this." Yeah, that sounds literally ass-backwards.

I don't use vim for my every day editor. Or even my occasional editor. I only use vim when I don't have a GUI available.

Yeah. The fact that it takes me like 4-5 clicks (with long load times) to get to the DNS editor is aggravating at best.

I think "Comparisons can be passed as parameters to a function" should say "Expressions can be . . ."

You lost major points in my book. They have one of the worst interfaces IMO. For everything else, I definitely agree. But once you get into the domain editor page, I think it is quite nice. And by nice, I mean powerful. In no way is it pretty.

Once again, you can use ZEROFILL on an integer column in MySQL to pad the 0's for you. So if you define num INT(4) ZEROFILL and input "1", it will come back as "0001".

There's quite a few things that vim improves on. Some of the more prominent ones: [*]Supports common code editor features like syntax highlighting, code folding and indenting [*]Supports plugins [*]Supports editing via SSH [*]Supports editing files in compressed archives

There's a lot more companies that supported SOPA. The list includes ABC, CBS, MLB, NFL, ESPN, TimeWarner, Comcast, UFC, and Disney. I expect you show the same attitude towards all these companies? They also offer the cheapest domain registrations that I've ever found, and have a pretty badass control panel for them. I don't particularly like GoDaddy either, especially for hosting, but this post severely lacks intelligence.

For the record, you should check out vim. It's like vi, but better.

Indeed. I am a little torn over how I feel about it being its own function. Granted, it might be useful some time. But, I think the PHP core library is already saturated enough with edge-case functions, so I would probably vote against it.

If you open Putty and go to Window > Colors, you can see the color options available. I don't know if you already knew that, or if that is helpful to you. It doesn't look like there is much room for customization though.

If that's the case, he should just use UNSIGNED_ZEROFILL on the column and it will happen automatically.

Use trim and then check if it is empty. $input = trim($_POST['input']); if (empty($input)) { // was only whitespace }

Because 1 is not == 1808. You're probably going to have to loop through the array and use something like stripos.

A folder is just a Windows users term for directory. They are the same thing. Whoa, his question is completely different words than what I thought they were last night. o.O

You could just zero-pad your rand call to make it 4 digits long. $num = str_pad(rand(0, 9999), 4, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); Or just use rand(1000,9999);
