  1. I havn't ever actually used that function, but from what i read here

     

    http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli-stmt.bind-result.php

     

    it looks like you would be ok to not check them. I would recommend just taking out the checks and trying it out with values (or lack of values) that you know may screw it up.

    i must have been tired when i wrote that. If you're worried about security i would check to make sure it is set. isset doesnt take up a ton of resources. Unless you have a server thats about to explode i really wouldnt worry about a couple extra checks.

  2. what are you doing with the errors array if there is an error? If you just want to declare that there was an error the array may not be necessary.

     

    <?php
    $error = "";
    if(!isset($_POST['comment']))
         $error = "No comment was entered. <br />";
    
    if (!isset($_SESSION['articleID']))
         $error .= "There was no article ID. <br />"
    
    if (!isset($_SESSION['memberID']))
         $error .= "There was no member ID. <br />"
    
    if(strlen(error) > 0){
       echo $error;
      //handle the error here.
    }else
      //add the comment.
    ?>
    

  3. I think this is what your looking for...

     

    <?php		
    	if ($News_1_Status=="Y"){
    	?>//removed echo and added this.
                             <div class="newstitle" align="left"><?php echo $News_1_Date;?>  <a href="<?php echo $News_1_URL;?>"><?php echo $News_1_Name;?></a></div><br>; 
                    <?php
    	}else
    	         echo "Have a nice day!";
    ?>
    

  4. well make sure you fixed that sql injection vulnerability, because otherwise someone could walk off with your database. And i assume you don't want to end up (ryan)weekly in the papers like sony does ;)

     

    btw are you using: 

    action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>"

    in your forms?

     

    right now some forms are vulnerable for cross side scripting. Have a read here how to prevent it: http://seancoates.com/blogs/xss-woes

     

    If you want to post to the same page your at,

    action=''
    //or
    action='?this=works&also='
    

    [/code] is all you need. Problem solved.

  5. If you want media rich look with less media, i would go with a darker background like adobe does. You could also get jquery and jquery plugins for some animation/interactivity. They can be relatively nice and light. One well done interactive image would look better anyways.

     

    I would also get rid of all those images. Images are whats gonna take up most of your bandwidth. If you want to show off your images i would use small thumbnails and only use big images if they ask for them.

  6. Interesting, It's working great for me from a coffee shop and through a vpn in switzerland. Is it still timing out for you?

     

    Also i added some ajax loading, if anyone feels like critiquing that feel free.

  7. That blue header on the phone, which says "inTouch" does not match the rest of the site, its close, but not quite. if you go blue, choose a blue from the background image.

     

    I don't think that the text in the main text area should be black, I think it would be nice if it was a blue close to the color of the blue behind the font, and add a drop shadow to it of a dark blue.

     

    remove most the text and place it on a sub page, pick out 1 or 2 main features of the app and advertise that on the main page, with a link to more features on the sub page.

     

    Take a look at:

    - Twitter

    - jQuery

    - Netflix

    - cakePHP

    - Gmail

    - ect.

     

    If you notice, they only list a few of the features on their main page, it makes you browse the site a little more.

     

    Thats all I can really think of. But I think it looks really good so far!

     

    Good suggestions, I'll play with the text colors, however, the blue behind the words intouch is a specific hex color that matches the color in the app. Once i get the demo of the app and maybe some screenshots you will be able to see. Ill give this thread a little bump when that happens. I've been putting a ton of time into the app, I suppose it's about time to start working on the website again.

     

    If any of you have ever dealt with trying to start a social networking type site, I was hoping for some advice on content that would tempt people to share it on facebook or wherever. I was thinking of making a funny flash animation (Youtube) that could possible spread like wildfire (hopefully). But thats my best idea so far.

     

    As you know, the more people who use it the more it will snowball. The hard part is getting the ball rolling.

  8. I made an android app for a class, Hopefully it gets big, but to help it out i made a website

    The content is not alltogether yet, so take it easy on what the pages say. More the actual design im looking to have critiqued.

     

    intouchapp.net

  9. Text is hard to read, and it's pretty dark. Kinda makes me feel sad inside, other than that, looks ok. I would also change the font.

     

    960.gs has a good system, and it resets your default text font / size to a much better font.
