For this update, I ask you to please bare with me. There were a TON of things that needed changing. Some tutorials needed to be removed, names changed, websites changed, userpages linked to, and I probably made some mistakes. Feel free to point them out, and again, I aplogize. After this, it should get much easier.

We are continuing our "referall" program. If you put PHP: Main in your signature, you can get on the list under supporters with a link to your website. Simply put a link in your signature, and post here and say that you have put it in. You will be included in the next update. I am aware that everyone's sigs were removed in the redesign, so I encourage people who haven't put PHP: Main back in their sigs to please do so as any publicity helps PHP: Main :)

As always, please report any mistakes.

I have re-added PHP:Main to my signature.

Lol, yeah, so did I.

Same.

Oh Zendra, you trickster you.

I have a degree in Online Signature Screening. I have been trained specially to check signatures on BBS's. Here's how I checked your signature. I started with my eyes on the left, and moved them across until I reached the end of your signature on the right. I did not spot the said link to "PHP: Main". So yeah Zendra, maybe if I wasn't a certified sig checker you would have gotten away with this evil plot, but you messed with the wrong sig checker this time. Also if you ever needs a certified signature checked just contact me I work for $40/hour and I guarantee all my sig checks for 100% accuracy. (please note sigs may not contain more than 15 words otherwise accuracy goes down at least 25%)

Also, I got everyone else down. Thanks guys!

I've added PHP main to my sig :).

Anyway, I was thinking it would be a good idea to move the PHP:main into its own blog. Therefore the list can be updated without creating large page spaces between updates.it would make things easier to find.

Just an Idea.

G'day and long live PHP:main

It's certainly not a bad idea. I just get worried that people would forget about it and it would be very hard to find.

by its own blog, do you mean its own site?

if so, then i dissagre. All the mains where started right here on NG it sounds almost retarded to then go and take them to their own site.

Though it would be cool if they got some front page atention of something like that. I mean, how long have we had php: main and C++: main. they surely must be an accepted part of NG history. The day that they die will be a teribal blow to NG - let it never happen.

LONG LIVE PHP: MAIN!!!

No, we mean like phpmain.newgrounds.com so it would be on that userpage.

That would be nice, but I doubt it would ever happen :\

Mmm, I suppose it could cause it to die out. Any, it was just an idea. I'll (hopefully) be contributing soon as I've (finally) finished my main project so I can work on other tidbits.

Why don't you just do that there is no user called that.
just have that user post a link to it (or post the list there as well)

Eh, at this point it's not worth it. When I started PHP: Main I was much more enthusiastic about this forum and at this point I've become much more of a casual poster. I'm not going to spend the time to re-work it because it's not receiving much action as it is. I think it's best to leave it how it is and just let it serve it's purpose.

Most newgrounders wouldn't care. Sure, we might.

And yes it'd be cool if there was a better way of handling mains...

Maybe someone could make a simple search engine for the mains or something, but these are all things that would fit nicely in the Programming Crew website, that we once decided to make :P

DFox, I have a tutorial on making buttons in PHP here:
http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/7895 26

Can you add it?

PHP: Main has been added to my signature =]

Forgive me if I'm missing something, but it seems like all I have to do is write a tutorial on PHP and put the URL here in order for it to be submitted to the list. If that's the case, then...

Yay :D

Not that writing a tut on "switch" is such an accomplishment, though lol. Maybe it'll help people new to PHP.

This is the best thread on NG!

i thought that my first post in about 6 months should be a bump... make a ton of people happy im bringing back this topic, to all web programmers that have doubted stuff, if you got over it and you couldnt find a tutorial on here to help you. PLEASE make one about it, keep this topic strong and alive! this is good it helped meee soo much when i was learning PHP

I miss this topic as well...only problem is, most everything seems covered. I planned on writing some others, but it got sent to the wayside.

And seeing as how DFox is gone...well, if he doesn't come back, I'd be willing to track the updates.

I'm glad to see this still going
Here, school is killing me, I haven't programmed anything in more than a year and a half

BTW, does DFox even come on here anymore?

$DFox[Status] = $_GET[stat];
if ($DFox[Status] = "Yes" | true) {
echo "YAY.";
} else {
echo "Who'll do the listings from now on, then?";
}

srsly

No and this topic is pretty much dead.

So... status is always Yes and you will get at least 1 syntax error because of the |?

Ah. Sry.

if ($DFox[Status] = "Yes" | $DFox[Status] = true) {

Also, Status is not always Yes. Status is an array element retreived from the _GET array. If it is false, then *ssslcckkkk* (throat-cutting noise). Srsly, answer the question. Also, a pipe is OR. Don't say it's not, I've used it like that before.

Sod off, you can't write code, everything you attempt fails horribly, and nobody likes you.
