john-formby Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hi, I was wondering if there are any websites out there that offer regular php coding contests? I had a search on Google but nothing recent came up. Do you think many people would participate? Cheers, John Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/137683-php-coding-contests/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 We used to have one, but the interest were minimal. Then again, we didn't have any really good prizes seeing as we were dependent on having them donated.

john-formby Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Thats a shame. PHP is a hobby for me and I figured that trying to find resolutions to specific problems would further increase my understanding of the language. Also, I wanted something to do in my spare time I thought about building my own site for this, but if interest is limited then there doesn't seem much point. Would the prize be a prime motivator for people to enter? Do you think people would be prepared to pay a small fee when entering their code? Cash prizes could be offered for top 3 places. I would just want enough money to offer a decent prize and cover hosting costs. I am not interested in making a profit, just creating a community Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/137683-php-coding-contests/#findComment-719582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamez Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 So it sounds like you enjoy php, and want to create a little project of your own, but you have no motive to create a website. Well you could create a CMS, or Forum, and sell them. You could create all sorts of scripts. You could also try to find something new, and inventive for the web, something that has never been done before. You could make something popular, like myspace, youtube, google, yahoo, and etc. did. There are some ideas. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/137683-php-coding-contests/#findComment-719587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
