Php: Main - Discussion Thread

[DFox]

Hey Everyone,

You can find PHP: Main right here.

This thread will be used for all discussion having to do with PHP: Main. The only thing you should NOT post in here related to PHP: Main is links to your tutorials.

Let the discussion begin!

Cool thread :)
Php: Main is really evolving

Yeah, it's really doing pretty well.

I'm going to keep trying to think of promotion ideas. I encourage everyone else to also. But REASONABLE ideas. For instance, I'd like to see PHP: Main get a shoutout on the front page, but lets be realistic, that's not going to happen. So reasonable promotions.

Well, regarding discussion, could someone make an md5 salt tutorial?

You cannot salt a md5 encryption.

The start of a true OOP tutorial. Tell me what you think. There is not much there yet in the way of learngng keywords yet, but I am getting there. It takes time. Tell me what you think about is so far.

*Note* Allow pastebin a good 5 min or more to load, it has been slow lately for some reason.

As I said in the other thread, I like it a lot. I think you explain everything very well.

One thing I'd really like to see in it is just a list of some examples of when OOP is appropriate, as I don't feel it always is.

Oh yeah guys, 1 more IMPORTANT note.

For the PHP: Main supporters, when you put the link in your sig, post HERE to make sure you get credit in the next update. Thanks.

Sorry for the DP.

Thanks. I try to make sure of that for the readers sake. If I think the user could get confused that they could not find their way out of it, I will re-write the section.

I will add that at the end of the tutorial. You aoe right though, there are times when it is not appriopate to use it.

Would this be the right place to post tutorial ideas? If so, here are some of mine:

Php: Dynamically Modding Files
Php: Dir Functions
Php: Mysqli Functions
Php: Advanced SQL
Php: cURL Basics (this one I really want done because I know nothing about it)
Php: Advanced GD Functions

[elbekko]

What do you mean by advanced GD?

Advanced GD library functions.

[elbekko]

Yes, I got that far, but what do you see as advanced? :P

Creating lines, morphing text, changing the font, etc.

[Zendra]

If the Programming forum gets a sticky PHP: Main pretty much covers it all. Except some rules and such, but PHP: Main, C: Main and all the others cover complete listings of the posted tutorials. :)
So it's actually quite easy to get our sticky right now.

Craige: I'll PM through Newgrounds about some OOP stuff. :)

Yup, post all tutorial ideas right here.

Now, wait one minute...what about this topic?

[SpamBurger]

A really big tutorial I want done is one on regular expressions because they are so confusing and it is hard to find good tutorials on them.

I may be able to write a mysqli one, as most people here have not likley touched the mysqli extension. Don't count on it though. I am busy at this time.

Okay, I will look.

I can get started with something like that.

why do we need this thread :S

So I don't have to make an update to PHP: Main when one new tutorial was submitted.

[Craige]

What GamesCool means to say is, so discussion of tutorial ideas an such can go here, and not take up room on the PHP: main pages, that are reserved for tutorials. With this we will get the full 30 tutorials per page, instead og maybe 5-7.

[cherries]

Starting my advanced GD tutorial, anything I should add?
