  1. "I rarely see big new interesting projects started in PHP." I guess since the projects I've worked on for the past 5 years aren't really interesting, they don't count...weird. I mean, the reporting tools for ensuring that medical instruments that detect cancer via a blood sample are working correctly and finding common problems with them, that wasn't INTERESTING. Sure was useful. Not really interesting though. Potentially life saving? The touching letter we got from a cancer survivor who was diagnosed early thanks to our equipment, which was fine tuned thanks to the reporting system...would say yes. Well maybe it is interesting in that regard. *shrug* Interesting projects don't pay the bills. The software that powers every day businesses is what pays the bills. I care a lot more about that then if what I'm doing is new and exciting but maybe that's just me.
  2. Did the author seriously argue that there is something intrinsically wrong with PHP because of The Query String, and suggest that a URL which can be used by PHP thanks to mod_rewrite is ... Not usable by PHP? Does he think all the sites he goes to with pretty URLs are powered by Ruby? When statistically they are most likely to be PHP powered? Our perl app at work uses query string vars, so I'm making an assumption that leaves Ruby as the only option.
  3. I tried zooming and shrinking and it held the shape pretty well. An image based captcha should not have any alt text, again that would defeat the purpose... They usually have a button for a read word.
  4. You should add monospace to the end of the list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font_family_%28HTML%29#Generic_font_families
  5. That's weird, I also looked at it and they all worked fine for me. I agree with xyph but still they didn't look anything like what Christian posted.
  6. There is no code to insert into a database, and based on your typo when changing your email, I'm going to guess there's more to this page.
  7. How does he have 0 posts now?
  8. Right forum? :-P I kid I kid. (Edit: by which I meant php coding help vs misc, not here vs devshed). I'd read the article before, I thought it was pretty lame. I'm going to actually read your post now. ... Done reading. Entertaining
  9. I doubt any of us are going to register for your site and try to login. Sorry.
  10. I think all you'd need is ini_get, not function_exists, right?
  11. @Jesi, Whiskey...Tango...Foxtrot not belongs to Europe Shhhhh he'll figure it out.
  12. Ok that makes more sense, sorry.
  13. Seriously at this point I'm starting to think you're trolling. You set the fields to blank values. Of course they are blank. What did you expect?
  14. Wow...I don't know why you brought up killing people.... Is it illegal to smoke pot in Greece? I'd think given the riots, bankruptcy, general chaos etc, the law force would have bigger issues to worry about anyway. SOCIALISM AND WHATNOT.
  15. If you're using code in a loop to create the buttons, use the same code to process them.
  16. Whiskey...Tango...Foxtrot.
  17. You're using update syntax, the insert syntax is different. Are you trying to insert or update?
  18. Just goes to show how much money our government wastes. : From one college dropout to another - the Zend certification is really difficult. About 1/3 of it is stuff that I have never once used or seen in (*counts in head*) about 7 or 8 years of PHP development, 5 of which I have been doing professionally. Maybe others will have seen it, my point is just that you can certainly make a good living without knowing that subset of skills that the certification emphasizes. I do get recruiters calling/emailing every day looking for people with PHP/MySQL skills, so it's definitely in demand still, and I've only had about 10% of them even ask if I have the Zend cert. No one has cared that I don't have it. Set up your resume on LinkedIn, add some recruiters, and you'll get calls. If after a few months you haven't gotten anywhere, you can either take community college courses on PHP, or go for the certification. I personally think the certification has little real world relevance so I wouldn't waste (any more of) my money on it.
  19. Just because you CAN use a ternary operator or return the error doesn't mean that returning false is "absolutely wrong"....
  20. *shrug* one is my employers laptop which does have AV, it's not supposed to do anything like that though. The other is my personal computer which has different AV. It's not happening on any other site. Using two different browsers and computers. The first two times I was logged out while writing a reply, the others it was just while Browsing.
  21. I'd say to help you learn how to solve problems That said, this is a great example of when to use templates. I like Smarty.
  22. It is happening in Firefox on a different computer. And yes, I have "forever" selected. Not doing private browsing or anything like that.
