[db search]

I'm working on a script that when you submit the form it returns what group you'd be assigned to based on email.

the database table groups has a field called "strings" and we have saved for example @gmail.com and any email containing @gmail.com will be assigned to G Mail Users.

I'm having a hard time establishing how I want to do this. The one way I know I can do it is by fetching all the fields and then matching it up using stristr.

I was thinking there has to be a better way using the mysql functions.

Alright, I've taken out majority of the paragraph besides what I estimate it to be at $20/hr.

I get what you guys are saying about the word cheap but it wasn't meant as far as quality of product, just the price of product. There is a difference and most people should have the ability to separate but I took it out anyways.

I get what you're saying as far as why they charge so much in most cases but not everyone can afford that and there is a market for that (which I'm trying to get at). I have no intentions of trying to make a 6 figure salary. Just want like a project a week. I'm a college student and just want to make some extra money doing something I can do, and have a decent time doing in my spare time.

Thanks for your critique.

Changed it to:

I charge based on the project, I attempt to estimate how long the project will take and then multiply it by $20 ($20 an hour). This is very cheap for a freelance programmer. I'll explain to you what made me estimate that length of time also. I normally request a deposit just to ensure I don't do it and then not get paid or you back out.[/Quote]

 

Thank you for your feedback. I think you guys should have a more open mind about the get what you pay for thing. Cheap doesn't always mean bad.

Didn't really think of it like that, thanks. Most php freelancers charge a lot. I was trying to advertise reasonably priced work. Thanks for showing me how in came across. As far as getting what you pay for: I can prove it isn't like that.

Thank you for your input,

- I was going for simple but yeah it's a little bland, I'm trying to get in touch with a designer to make another layout.

- The images at the bottom are there because those are the tools I use most. I may take your advice and scale them down a bit.

- It's a site representing a php freelancer, a php logo is pretty relevant.

[Experienced with php and mysql looking for freelance work]

I have a few years of experience with php. Most of what I do is interacting with mysql databases but it's not limited to that. I don't have much work available to show off but in the last few days I made a website http://www.phpdanny.com

 

This website has a scripts section where you can see scripts I post, you can use them for free. Right now there is only one, it's simple, shouldn't be used as-is because I did it quickly so it has some flaws. It's mostly just to show my coding style. When viewing the script you can also view example usage, and comment on it (if you register and login). The site is very simple, just has the scripts section, a news section so I can keep people updated on what I'm doing and site changes, and ways to contact me with the services I provide.

 

My experience also consists of working with javascript, ajax (have made some chat software), smarty template engine, and while I'm not really a designer I can do what's needed with css.

 

 

[http://www.phpdanny.com]

Website was thrown together in a few days.

Basically has a news page so I can tell people when I make new things, there's a scripts page so that I can make scripts and release them (for free) to show people my coding style, users can register and login and comment on news articles and scripts.

Site's basically to help get me freelance php work.

[Chat Software]

thanks thorpe

 

thewooleymammoth - on the demo chat with the demo account? I'm gonna change the config file to let anyone change their color, you can re-test whenever. I'm going to change the theme, hopefully have someone develop a new one, thanks. How do you like the way it functions?

[Need ideas on layout for data in a table]

Replace Job number with Job #

Make Job Status just say status and have the green/blue image with alt text.

 

That should make it a little smaller.

[Chat Software]

I'm working on developing some new open source chat software. It runs with smarty template engine, jquery, and the rest is all created from scratch. The messages are stored in files rather than in databases. Theres a command system in place but is also going to have an admin cp, user cp, and mod cp.

 

Users are stored in a mysql database, along with online users and modules, it's made modular so that addons can simply be made: such as private messages, a shop, etc...

 

http://osphpchat.com is going to be the site for the software, right now there's just forums (myBB) and a current version of the chat. Another demo site could be chat.nittodreamteam.com

 

You can beta test them both as they're the same files (chat.nittodreamteam.com is where I update first though, that's going to be the "playground").

 

Some commands are:

- /color {type} {hex_code} -- type is either "user" or "message" by default is message.

- /suggest {suggestion} -- saves your suggestion in a file for us to see.

 

I haven't made many commands yet, we also have a kick command right now though. On nittodreamteam you cannot use the color command but the demo account on osphpchat can.

 

-- I know this might belong better in the beta test section but I posted it yesterday and still waiting approval.

[Regex Help]

Hello, I've already done the task by using explode and stuff. However, I think that regex would be faster and the right thing to use. Could anyone show me how this can be done with regex?

 

I'm attempting to change

 

l:blocks/nav.tpl;r:blocks/your_account.tpl,blocks/whos_online.tpl

 

in to

 

Array

(

    [l] => Array

        (

            [0] => blocks/nav.tpl

        )

 

    [r] => Array

        (

            [0] => blocks/your_account.tpl

            [1] => blocks/whos_online.tpl

        )

 

)

 

The code I used to get that with explode was

 

$_blocks = explode(';', $main_class->modules->info['blocks']);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($_blocks); $i++)
{
$side = explode(':', $_blocks[$i]);
$files = explode(',', $side[1]);
for ($file_i = 0; $file_i < count($files); $file_i++)
{
	$blocks["{$side[0]}"][] = $files["{$file_i}"];
}
}
print_r($blocks);
