  1. So let me get this straight: you have a domain name and you decided that the lowest you'd sell it for is $x and what you'd ideally like to get is $y and the person making the offer started out by offering more than your $y, and you're looking at it like you're losing out, because you could have gotten more money out of him? That's going from fair to greedy. You say it's someone on this site that is interested. I'm going to laugh at you when he reads this thread.
  2. your script is only 100 lines long but it's saying the error is on line 242... if that was the complete code you posted, is this file being included in some other file? If not, then perhaps you're trying to run the wrong script.
  3. stripslashes
  4. fyi {1,} is the same as doing + and \d is mostly the same as doing [0-9] (it also includes exponents)
  5. ^\d+
  6. you need to give some actual example formats. Are there spaces between the hyphen? anything else on the line? etc..
  7. We did one contest for people to make a GD Library based calculator. We also did one to make a browser based game. Both times we had maybe a dozen people sign up but then most of them back out at some point in time. Which caused the judges to think why bother and drag ass on judging. In short, both times we tried, it was a big fat failure. It has been mentioned a few more times since then, and a couple people took interest, but it fizzled out again. As ober said, in our experience, there just hasn't been enough interest in it. It seems like a great idea on paper, with endless potential for all kinds of things, but...yeah, funny how reality doesn't always coincide.
  8. I recall something along those lines being mentioned, as well. I don't remember why that was rejected, nor can I think of anything off the top of my head why it should be. As someone who has submitted several tutorials, I too think that the numbers are kind of bloated, and would rather see more realistic numbers.
  9. We talked about this at some point in time. The reason why we continue to allow it is because of the ability to link directly to specific pages (from external links, etc...).
  10. GENERAL RULES AND GUIDELINES FOR POSTING This forum is not meant to be a formal freelance service system. It is available for those who wish to seek out services or work from other people, as a courtesy to the members of the phpfreaks community. phpfreaks.com does not specialize in freelance services. This forum is an informal mechanism, as a courtesy to the community. We have no formal mechanism in place (like escrow) to guarantee payment, refund, work done, etc... phpfreaks.com shall not be held responsible for any losses you incur. we have never and continue to not act as any kind of mediator or verification/compensation source for people/organizations who use those forums. We will not be held responsible/liable for any damages, loss, etc. that occur from use of those forums. If you hire someone and they rip you off, don't come crying to us. If someone hires you and they rip you off, don't come crying to us. Those forums are a convenience. If you want something more official that offers guarantees, go to a real freelance site! If you have any questions regarding the freelance forum, feel free to ask them here. RULES: WHERE TO POST:If you want to offer your services, post in the Service Offerings sub-forum.If you want to offer a job or position of employment, post in the Job Offerings sub-forum. DO NOT post your 'resume' in job posting threads. You must directly contact the person you wish to reply to. The only reason replies are allowed is to ask for clarification/details about the job. Failure to adhere to this rule will result in all kinds of things, like you getting banned, or us disallowing replies. DO NOT make more than one thread offering your services. You can edit/reply to your thread to reflect additions/changes. DO NOT post advertisements to other sites offering freelance system services. For example, rentacoder.com, odesk.com, etc.. we have no partiality for or against those sites, but posts such as those are regarded as advertisement, which is against our main site rules. We fully acknowledge that this freelance system is limited, but we aren't here to provide free advertising for other places. If you prefer to do actual business through one of those sites, please specify in direct contacts with the person. You are allowed, as a freelancer or freelance company, to post a link to your personal portfolio/company to those sites, or a site that you own. But general promotions to those other sites are not allowed. GUIDELINES: When posting in the freelancing forum it's important that you provide a way for users to contact you. They will not be able to reply to your topics so they need a way to contact you privately. This can be using PMs, emails, any type of instant messaging service (MSN, Gtalk, AIM, Jabber, etc.) or however you see fit.The more specific you are about your skills, previous experience(s), availability, rates, etc.. the better your chances of getting serious inquiries. Posting vague "I'm available for anything and everything" might get more inquiries on average, but there's a good chance that it will come to nothing, based on any number of things that you could have posted here in the first place. Better to receive 10 emails from people who have some idea of your qualifications/terms, than 100 emails that don't.Be honest about your skills. All day long we see people posting about how they jumped on a job and bit off more than they could chew. They tell the client they can do everything they need and more, promise them the moon, and then promptly crap their pants about 5 minutes into it. Don't be that person! Some people get lucky and figure it out. Some people get lucky and get help that figures it out. Most people end up having to give up the project. Which leads us to....Wasting people's time and money. You waste the client's time. You waste your own time. That bad rep will more than likely come back to haunt you. All day long we get people trying to get us to delete their posts because they don't want their skeletons to come out of the closet (no we won't hide them for you). So be smart! Do the simplest easiest thing to avoid all this headache: be truthful about your skills. If you feel that being truthful will limit your potential clients, then get off your bum and hit the books. You can't seriously be in the business of trying to con people, are you?Be very clear about what you are doing. Some clients know your job, and are just looking for extra set of hands. Most do not, and therefore seek someone who does. Therefore, if you want to avoid headaches, it is your responsibility to be very clear about what it is you're going to do. What you're willing to do. What kind of support you offer after the fact, etc... on that note..Be up front and thorough about your prices. Take a look at the situation. Quote a price for it. Quote prices for things that might come up later. The more you have to go back later saying that xyz was unforseen or xyz wasn't part of the deal, regardless of whether or not you are in the right, the more you are going to come off as shady, to the client. It's like when you take your car to a mechanic and that funny noise goes from being one little $50 thing to a $2000 rebuild because the mechanic kept coming back to you saying something else is wrong. That stuff may indeed be needed, but the fact that you didn't think about it and let them know ahead of time speaks volumes about your skills as a coder. Some things just aren't foreseeable. Most things are.
  11. oh..is that what the p in http stands for?
  12. Well the way you worded it, it sounded like you didn't bother to do your own research first. If you had said something more along the lines of "I've been looking around for a free site, but can't seem to find anything decent, anybody have any suggestions?" That would have sounded more on par with "I did some research, came up empty handed, opinions?" Don't get all pissy just because you failed to say what you meant in the first place. Nobody is psychic. Anyways, free hosting packages tend to limit what you can or can't do. I also suggest downloading and installing xampp or wamp. They are packages that come with php, mysql, apache, usually lots of the php extensions, etc.. blahblahblah they practically install themselves right out of the box, and you can have absolute control over absolutely everything, if you need it.
  13. Wow man, nice, strong company. Very professional website. Top level customer service. I'm impressed. For real. Can I have a job? Would it be okay to come in for an interview tomorrow some time? 8a cst good for you? We can go grab some breakfast and talk it over. I have a good feeling about you. We can work some sort of arrangement out. Just gimme a holler at my email address we'll discuss the fine print.
  14. You are one of the best coders of this place. If anything, to a fault. There has been some shit as far as patterns and models and application design and stuff that I just couldn't grasp what you were talking about. I couldn't even understand the concepts needed to be grasped in order to grasp your concepts. It must be really frustrating having to deal with us idiots all the time, being 10 steps ahead of people and constantly have to hand-hold them from one idea to the next. I truly sympathize. Not that I claim to understand because I'm smart. You just tend to feel that same kind of frustration, being a parent. I truly do respect you, as a programmer. I'm sorry things weren't working out, as far as direction is concerned. I hope you have not taken it personally. I lost track a long time ago how many ideas or notions of mine were either shot down or ignored. At one point in time I took it personally. But then I eventually realized that this is supposed to be a casual, laid back place, so a lot of things just aren't destined to happen, no matter how hard you try and push. That is not to say that all of my suggestions have been shot down. But I don't want to sound like I'm bragging about anything or sound like any one thing came about solely through my own efforts. Just sayin'... there are plenty of things that look good on paper or would be great in ideal situations or slightly different situations, that just aren't conducive to a laid back ideal. But you have had your fair share of contributions to this place. You put in about 3 years. You have several tutorials posted. Blogs. Virtually the entire app design board is your brain-child. And for that, I respect you, as a contributor to the community. And I know a lot of the reason your ideas were held back or otherwise thwarted were either directly or indirectly because of me. And I'm sure there have been plenty of times that you felt that I really didn't think or feel a certain way about something, but nonetheless argued against you, simply to be a dick. I sincerely hope that you never took my opposition personal...at least, as far as the ideas themselves. I lost track of how many times we both have jabbed below the belt out of frustration, lol. But it was fun! I am no troll (despite outward appearances, both physical and otherwise!), but I must admit that I thoroughly enjoyed our bickerings, and I will forever be grateful to the admin and other mods and other innocent bystanders, who for the most part, put up with it and let is duke it out. But neither of us have used those things to weigh arguments, and for that, I respect you, as a duelist. I felt we had a yin-yang, opposite sides of a coin thing going on. I always sort of imagined that for a while there, a lot of decisions were being made and directions were being took, because of our monomachies. Admin/mod sits and wonders what the issue is. Notices our page length posts. Decides who cares what the issue is. One of them is on each side of the fence for sure. They both over-talk everything to death. Wisest option must be from whoever wins. Yeah, I know, I'm probably being presumptuous, but you have to admit, it does make it all sound a bit more epic, right? I know you must have enjoyed it on some level, as well, for your willingness to poke fun at our Arch-Nemesis-Situations-Involving-Inharmonies (I like to call it ANSII, for short), and for mutual jest, I respect you as a friend. It is truly a loss to see you go, but you'll be back, so I'm not gonna bother saying goodbye. Everybody comes back to the CV. People gravitate towards me. Like a black hole. And like black holes, I'm good at sucking. So I will be sure to suck real good in order to make you come. Back, that is. Pervert. Crayon.
  15. $name=$_Get['name']; <===Null change it to $_GET $quant = $_POST['Quantity']; <==Null $price = $_POST['price']; <==Null You are assigning the value of $row['Quantity'] and $row['price'] as the name in your form fields, instead of the actual names.
  16. wtb people with common sense. Opening bid: $0.02
  17. put the mail function in a loop and send out 5 at a time. Each loop iteration you can select the next 5 from the database using LIMIT offset, amount.
  18. echo '<td align="left"><a href="mailto:' . $row['email'] . '">my email</a></td>';
  19. Like I said, you can't just intermingle php and javascript like that. PHP parses and sends results to the client. If you want server/client interaction without using a submit button, you would have to separate them and use ajax to make a request to a script and call functions based on what you send via ajax methods.
  20. could also possibly find a solution using com
  21. so you don't see on the very first line of the code you provided how you have 2 opening parenthesis but only 1 closing?
  22. You're missing a closing quote. But you would have known that if you read the error.
  23. I have no intention of rewriting your code for you, but I suggest you look into using any one or more of the following functions: parse_url dirname basename pathinfo
  24. php is parsed on the server. javascript is parsed on the client. php looks at javascript as regular text to be output to the client. It doesn't care about it. You can use javascript to validate form fields and then have the info submitted by traditional methods (just clicking the form's send button, with the form's method set to 'post'), or you can use some ajax to send it to the server. Not that I would recommend clientside validation anyways. It is a trivial thing, even by script kiddie standards, to get around clientside validation.
