lol I couldn't stop laughing, his thanks are in a group other than the rest, means he is probably still banned, but he can still participate by thanking but not posting, that's just funny

@ VMPort: I guess I know a versed programmer works in php and web design as well (you might need for the programmer to your requirement for GUI), he's also 1-Does really fast work. 2-Gets a small hourly fee and overall isn't greedy. And he's from Canada I guess. (if you actually hired him, project was finished, plus you are satisfied, will I get a sort of reward then? )

Damn. It was just form my head with a los of works, I hate you now.. well, please first send me the code of the blog and then I will hate you

Heres the page controller, I hope you realise how basic it actually is

<?php
class controller
{
    public function loadNode($page)
    {   
        if(empty($page)) { $page = "home";}
        if (!file_exists("nodes/node.$page.php")) { $page = "404";}

        include "nodes/node.$page.php";
        $this->node = new node;
    }


    public function nodeName()
    {
        return $this->node->PAGE_NAME;
    }


}


?>

@Daniel said: You know ideally you should be formatting it like this

<?php >if($secret == 1) { echo "This is NOT secret, whink, whink"; } >?>

Ideally you would not use the closing "?>" tag, as well. My (personal) preference would have been, though:

< ?php
if ( $secret == 1 ) {
    echo 'This is NOT secret, whink, whink';
}

Nice, without MySQL it seems how about a PHP that reads the "node" directory to know how many posts are they? Seems a very good project!

<?php
class dataBase
{

    public function __construct($host, $user, $password, $database)

    {
    mysql_connect("$host", "$user", "$password");
    mysql_select_db("$database"); 
    }
    
    public function getTable($table, $options = "")

    {
    $options = mysql_real_escape_string($options);
    $data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table $options");
    return $data;
    }
    public function getRecord($table, $id)
    {
    $id = mysql_real_escape_string($id);
    $data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE ID = '$id'");
    $data = mysql_fetch_array($data);
    return $data;
    }

}   

?>

Since the blog script is just.... one script, only the blog node actually starts the database, its not system wide.

And as I said, its very minimal and small, but bloody quick.

and where did you get the rich-text editor?

@Daniel you should convert your scripts to either use PDO or MySQLi. Here's the main #1 reason:

http://news.php.net/php.internals/53799

In your __construct functons you do not need your variables in quotes. Not sure why you did that. Here's your class, rewritten to use PDO, also:

<?php
class Database extends PDO {
    
    public function __construct($host, $user, $password, $database) {
        $dsn = 'mysql:host='.$host.';dbname='.$database;
        parent::__construct($dsn, $user, $password);
    }
    
    /*
     * Just a note: I'm not 100% sure what you mean
     * with $options. If its a "where ## == ##" then
     * you could use prepare and execute, etc...
     */
    public function getTable($table, $options) {
        return $this->query('SELECT * FROM '.$table.' '.$options);
    }
    
    /*
     * You can make this into a one liner, but this seems easier
     * to read.
     */
    public function getRecord($table, $id) {
        $stmt = $this->prepare('SELECT * FROM '.$table.' WHERE ID = ?');
        $stmt = $stmt->execute(array($id))
        
        return $stmt->fetchAll();
    }
}

As a plus, this should (mostly, except for the getTable function) work with your existing code. For a bonus: If you changed how you __constructed this, you can easily change to a SQLite database, or any other DSN you want!. Wait, theres more! You have access to the PDO functions.

MrAndroid

@Debug I've never used PDO or MySQLi.

From what I can see of your rape to my code, PDO makes fetching stuff so much easier?

What people seem to constantly miss is that that post is not an announcement saying that mysql_ is deprecated (which it is not, for the record), but a proposal on educating users. It does not actually state any reasons for switching to PDO, nor does it claim deprecation.

Alright lets try to bring this back on track for Ash

I'll keep an eye on IRC for anyone that's a skilled coder and looking for work.

@Daniel said: From what I can see of your rape to my code, PDO makes fetching stuff so much easier?

1) It's more future proof (mysql_* functions as you read are slowly being deprecated.)
2) You're not tied to just mysql, for example you can use SQLite
3) Was introduced in PHP 2.0, and currently only receives updates for maintenance. (http://php.net/manual/en/mysqlinfo.api.choosing.php)
4) No MySQL 5.1+ functionality.

Hell, look at this page

http://php.net/manual/en/intro.mysql.php

"This extension is not recommended for writing new code. Instead, either the mysqli or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also the MySQL API Overview for further help while choosing a MySQL API."

I'm sorry if you see that as a rape of your code. To be fair, not much has changed, other than using objects other than functions. If you like functions, however, you can gladly use the mysqli_* functions.

@Fran: Yup, I agree. Sorry

@joepie91
Still mysql_* functions are being discouraged. Isn't that some thing? Notice any major PHP 5.3+ (or any code done in the past year) has most likely been done in PDO or MySQLi. Also

• Softly deprecate ext/mysql with education (docs) starting today

As anyone knows how long it takes for the PHP team to deprecate anything, it's better to warn off new-comers from using the mysql_ functions. Same is what I'm doing right now, warning off others from using the mysql_* functions.

Claims for deprecation: "- Not adding E_DEPRECATED errors in 5.4, but revisit for 5.5/6.0"

Also (I'm really rambling now, sorry), but it does state reasons for PDO, specifically, "with PDO being the PHP way and main focus of future endeavors".

I have had a positive experience hiring developers off Elance.com so you might want to consider posting a job there

It's a proposal on a mailing list, not an announcement or claim.
