ayok Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi guys, I have a new experience today as a webdesigner. A client ask me to show the php scripts I made for his website. He doesn't understand PHP, so he will show this to his friend, which is a programmer. The reason is he wants just to check my script whethe it's good. And so far the website is working properly. Is that a common request? Thank you, ayok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Usually clients don't really care as long as it works and looks good. If he's just interested on learning some PHP go ahead, and if his programmer buddy wants to take a look at your script, go ahead. If you wrote it properly than you have nothing to worry about, I hope you used W3 standards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroNiX Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 If you created the scripts for him, they're his scripts unless you have a contract stating otherwise. I usually get asked to show samples of work BEFORE a job, not after...bit strange there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Seems to me that there's is something wrong, or someone told him there is something wrong if he wants to review your scripts, especially with his friend programmer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropfaith Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 nah ive had this happen with a few content systems ive had to build and as said if you followed the standards and it works your fine.. if you slapped something up really fast they might have some comments for you.. although if he owns the host and its live on his account then shouldnt his programmer friend be able to log into it download and view your script anyways.. unless you offer no access to any ftp and its your server really you dont have a choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Have you been paid? If not, I'd be leery about handing him your script. Who's to say he won't pull a fast one on you, claiming it's crap and saying forget it, only to turn around and use it, or even have his buddy just go from there?

DarkWater Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Yeah, make sure to get paid, but otherwise it shouldn't be too much of a problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayok Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Thank you guys.. I was really pissed off, and almost cut off the business. But he actually likes my works so far from the result. I don't understand why he would like to see it. My mistake is that he hasn't paid yet... I even charged him with a low rate. I didn't realize that it was the reason why I was so upset. Thanks. Next time I'll ask the payment first. ayok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropfaith Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 it might be an attempt at stealing your work id pull the site until pyment if you think this is the case thats why i always do all test runs on my own server then go live after payment they see how it all works but its still not live until im paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
