[Looking for work]

I'm getting more lenient as the freelance work gets harder to find.

 

My name is Luke and I am a full-time web developer for a web-based training administration software company based in South England. I am looking for as much work as I can out of work hours.

 

Experience:

I have 6+ years experience in PHP, MySQL, JavaScript (including Ajax).

I work with PHP framework CakePHP and Javascript framework jQuery.

SEO software and updates

SOAP applications

Salesforce applications (Apex, Visualforce, PHP API)

E-commerce (Google checkout only so far, am willing to learn Paypal integrations)

PSD-to-XHTML/CSS conversions

 

No Experience:

1st party software (Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress, etc)

Facebook integration (yet?)

 

Leniency:

I am willing to work on anything from small to large projects as long as it's reasonably priced (not underpriced and not overpriced).

[Looking for small to medium sized projects]

Hi, I am a spare-time freelancer looking for small to medium sized projects.

 

Experience:

• PHP : Around 5 years
  
• JavaScript : Around 5 years
  
• MySQL : Around 5 years
  
• XHTML / CSS : 7 Years +
  
• PSD TO XHTML / CSS : Around 5 years
  

 

I am in the software business developing training administration software for cloud computing technology so I know what I'm doing! (Salesforce; Apex, Visualforce, Force.com).

 

I work mainly on content and/or data management systems of any sort and I do not work with advanced graphical work. I will work on both websites and software (or modifications to currently existing solutions) depending on your needs.

 

I am looking for projects with a minimum of $100 (approx £60).

This however does not mean I will do larger projects desperately for $100. Send me your requirements and your budget and I will quote you with a price that seems reasonable but negotiable.

 

Regards

Luke

[Looking for spare work]

Hi

 

I'm looking around for work to do in spare time for extra cash.

 

Been working with PHP, MySQL and JavaScript for about 5 or 6 years. I am no beginner but I am very independant with my scripts so I am not willing to work with large scripts I've never heard of (but am willing to modify currently running sites).

 

I'm looking for projects costing $100+.

 

Contact me with/for more information.

[[SOLVED] Enter a date into MYSQL + 2 weeks]

$timenow = time() + 1209600;
mysql_query("UPDATE tblRow SET date_created='FROM_UNIXTIME({$timenow})' WHERE id=1");

 

FROM_UNIXTIME() simply converts a timestamp into it's date.

 

And yes... 2 weeks is 1,209,600 seconds.

[is a template driven site in php...]

Wherever you want code, just add PHP into your HTML with the opening and closing tags of course.

It's quicker and more flexible than using any template system. The only downfall is clutter in your HTML, but you can sort this out by understanding PHP syntax a little more to neaten it up a bit.

[[SOLVED] passwrods not matching when clearly they do]

Test if the two passwords are the same when you do the validation rather than at the beginning.

 

<?php
               echo "{$password}<br/>{$password2}";

               if ($password != $passsword2)
               {
                  $errorMessage .= "<br />You have not entered the same password twice. Please try again.";
               }//end of if ($password != $passsword2)
               
?>

 

You may be changing one of the variables before the validation but after the debugging test you've placed yourself.

 

Also, just to let you know, if you want to check that something is not equal to something else you do it like this:

 

<?php
// Add single quotations to your array and use != rather than !$x == 'xxx'
if( $query['usergroup'] != "Super Administrator" )

// Not if( !$query[usergroup] == "Super Administrator" )
?>

[Unknown ODBC error message]

I use ODBC functions because I need to access various databases and so I made myself an ODBC framework to save a lot of hassle in that area.

I am using this specific query on a MySQL database however and I cannot work out why this is happening.

[Unknown ODBC error message]

I'm trying to build a query with fulltext using the ODBC functions.

I executed the query in phpMyAdmin and made a quick side-script to test the query and they both worked absolutely fine, however when I use the query in a larger script it seems to fall and returns me an error message saying it can't find an error message:

 

Warning: odbc_fetch_array() [function.odbc-fetch-array]: SQL error: Failed to fetch error message, SQL state HY000 in SQLGetData in C:\...\odbc.php on line 325

 

I cannot find this error message anywhere online. Why on god's earth is this happening when practically the same code is working on a different file.

 

Here is the code. You could try it out for yourself, but it will work for you.

 

$sql = "SELECT *, MATCH (f_question, f_answer) AGAINST ('established' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AS Relevance FROM tblFaq

WHERE MATCH (f_question, f_answer) AGAINST ('established' IN BOOLEAN MODE) > 0

ORDER BY Relevance DESC";

 

$result = odbc_exec($conn, $sql);

 

while ( $row = odbc_fetch_array($result) )

{

          $rows[] = $row;

}

 

It returns 2 rows successfully, but cannot put them into an array for me.

 

When I take away the * from the fields to select it works but doesn't return the fields I want it to. Only the relevance.

 

I just need someone to explain to me why I could be receiving such error!

 

Thanks

[[SOLVED] Border height problem]

Absolutely brilliant. Don't know why I didn't think of doing that.

 

Thanks

[[SOLVED] Border height problem]

Okay, so I am having this problem with an image border. I am making a shadow effect for the divs I am making and it's successful only until I want to be able to expand the div according the content within a child div.

 

Basically as it goes:

 

Parent div is simply a container for all the divs that make up the content, header and borders (it's not that complicated! Trust me on that).

The parent div does not have a set height nor does the content div because the content may be larger or smaller than the height specified so I want it expandable.

Floating to the right is the right border which is the only part that doesn't expand and if if I set the height to a 100% it simply disappears, which isn't really any use.

 

 

So what do I do?

 

CSS:

.tclass {
background: url(images/background/tborder_top.jpg) repeat-x; top;
min-height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
}

.tclass .head {
	background: url(images/background/thead.jpg) repeat-x top;
	padding: 10px 20px 5px;
	height: 19px;
	color: #6a6a6a;
	text-align: right;
	font-weight: bold;
}

.tclass .content {
	background: url(images/background/tcontent.jpg) repeat-x top;
	height: 100%;
	color: #3d3d3d;
	overflow: hidden;
	padding: 15px 0px 15px 15px;
}

.tclass .tb-right {
	width: 8px;
	height: 100%;
	float: right;
	background: url(images/background/tborder_right.jpg) repeat-y right;
}

 

HTML:

<div class="tclass" style="clear:both;">
        <div class="tb-right"><div class="tb-topright"></div></div>
<div class="head">Title here</div>
        <div class="content">Content here</div>
<div class="tb-bottom"><div class="tb-bottomleft"></div><div class="tb-bottomright"></div></div>
</div>

 

Hope someone can give some suggestions. I'm expecting to hear, "you can't do this" as I know CSS can be an ass with these things.

 

[[SOLVED] How to identify "Who required me"?]

You would have to make a definition in A like so:

 

a.php:
-----------------
<?php
define('SCRIPT_A_LOADED', true);
?>

 

c.php:
-----------------
<?php
if ( SCRIPT_A_LOADED )
{
     echo "gotcha!";
}
?>

[Windows and permissions]

I am using Windows Server 2003.

[[SOLVED] basic question about operators "::"]

You mean, "what does :: do/mean?"?

 

It's the same as -> I believe.

[[SOLVED] making a new line in php]

Woops. SMF didn't post my break tag.

 

<br />

 

That's the one.

[Windows and permissions]

I'm trying to test setting the permissions in Windows but the only group that won't apply is the CREATOR OWNER group. Which seems like it could be causing the problem.

 

Seems strange as the settings were applied in the past but must of reset for some reason.

 

Do you know why it won't apply the settings?

[Page name acting as directory?]

Hmm. I'm really unsure with how PHP acts with Mac so I'm probably not the person to help you here.

Google Analytics won't have anything to do with it though.

[[SOLVED] making a new line in php]

\n produces a new line in the HTML code (\r\n for windows)

<br/> will produce an actual line in the output.

[what is faster?]

They say with HTML, that if you include a CSS file it's slower than putting all the CSS in the HTML and the more CSS files you load, the slower the output is.

 

I know it's not PHP, but I reckon it might be similar although if that's the case, it's an incredibly tiny and unnoticeable change.

[Windows and permissions]

Do you mean changing the rights of the user for the directory above all new directories?

 

Because I've already tried that.

[Windows and permissions]

Unfortunately I'm using IIS. Don't ask why. I wanted to use Apache but the company decided IIS on Windows Server 2003 is the best solution. *rolls eyes*

[Page name acting as directory?]

Have you got some SEO software installed or something?

It's probably taking in /gibberish as a URL parameter.

 

Or because it wasn't coded to handle SEO, it's screwing up all the image paths and href links.

[Windows and permissions]

But the whole point of this thread is to find out if I can do this automatically rather than manually.

 

:-\

[Windows and permissions]

All I'm doing is creating directories and then setting the permissions equivalent to 0777 to those new directories. So users can upload images to their directories.

 

It would just save time if staff members didn't have to set the permissions of every folder manually.

[Windows and permissions]

So there is no possible way with PHP to be able to do it?
