  1. Yea, we all know Steve Jobs filled a patent for the iQuit yesterday, but this is actually something useful. I got this as spam from friends, but thought I'd share it here. -----------------------------------------------------   ~ Bill Gates ~ This should be posted in every school or kid's bedroom. Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this!   Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about Eleven (11) things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2: The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: They called it opportunity. Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, So don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. Keep yourself clean. Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. *This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. *Do that on your own time. Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one…   If you can read this.... Thank a Teacher. If you can read this in English.... Thank a Soldier! And for life and everything else you have.... Thank Your Parents!
  2. Nada f.... llama. Home based or data center?
  3. It could also be as simple as using a V2 modification on a V1 system. I'd suggest you turn on error reporting for your script. If you don't know how, and you are with a hosting provider, ask them to assist you. Please report back with the error, it should be either at a notice or warning level.
  4. On which subject? My previous post explains the disadvantages of session_set_cookie_params() clearly.
  5. $ir is only a mysql result converted into an array, nothing more. But I stand with what you linked to of what I said.
  6. Then I'd hate them, because they don't run the forum. What if exams could write themselves?
  7. MCCodes at most a few functions and classes, and not even very extendable at that. If you look at mods, no matter what you do, you are doing things manually. Want to extract user data? manually, want to check a user's stats? manually, want to mail someone? mostly manually. This is not an engine. An engine should at the very least be able to do those things for you, without having to dig into the database manually.
  8. Actually, by definition, MCCodes has never been an engine. It's just been glue to hold scripts together.
  9. What you say is true. But as you mentioned this is a programming forum, and not a reference guide. Simply referencing one link to another seems inutile. I am aware at how sessions work on both sides, and I can agree on what that person says. The most basic idea of a session cookie is to have the same data on both sides, and that it does. But, he default way sessions are stored on the server side is through usage of files in a certain directory(set by the session save path). Then, something to remember as well with this, is that these files are only seen as usable for a certain period of time. The way PHP works with these session files, is that it only updates it's lifetime when the data within these files are altered, and not in fact when they are accessed. The cookie stored on the client side of things, works on the same concept of lifetime. It only updates when the data in contains is altered, and in PHP, altering client side cookies can only be done my replacing the cookie with other data: this is seen as altering the cookie's contents. Now with that in mind, it is safe to say that this function is almost useless for what it portrays. PHP isn't efficient enough with this by itself, and a user intervention is required if you want a viable solution to set the timeout length of a session. Your method isn't "wrong", it's just not efficient enough for setting the lifetime/timeout of a session. I'd be happy to go into this further, but I think I've made my point clear.

    Comet Chat

    I don't for selling it less than 50USD would be worth it. CometChat integrates with social networks, and that alone is a hefty task to replicate. The actual chat functionality is worth more than 50USD I would say.
  11. Software engine. It is an engine, as said in the title.
  12. Please refer to this, and many others. This function(feature) is useless for the goal you want to reach.
  13. Heard of x? Does wonders. Edit: Just kidding, that'd be wrong... :confused:
  14. I don't see it as very fit for a online hacking game, sorry.
  15. Thank you very much. It's quite hard finding good quality designs for free, most of these things people would have to buy.
  16. It wouldn't be awesome if you could, it'd be useless. I think the OP needs to know the distinction between text, variables and functions in PHP. And yes, before anyone disagrees, markup IS only text to PHP. Read an introductory chapter from any tutorial, or book to help you. Also, Google "Tableless web design". And if a mod can just rectify their post, I'm sure the <CODE> tags were meant to be code containers.
  17. 1. Search for mods here. 2. Get a GFX here. 3. Get developers to help you, also here. Once you are done with that list, please try again.
  18. I'd use the well-hidden "Delete this account" button. :P What if coffee made itself?
  19. We wouldn't be able to know because they'll have super advanced space-age technology. What if this thread actually got to 1,000 posts?
  20. Nah, rugby players just chase after a ball and kick it around for a pointless cause. :P
  21. We'd all be writing in binary. Ouch. What if Coke never existed. :(
  22. Not much would change, but there would be only less angry Danny. :P What if headaches were curable by simply tapping on your head?
  23. There'd be a lot less "overweight" people in America. What if there were only soya product to eat/drink? No McDonalds. :(
  24. I'd be funny, 'cause I think the server would freak out. What if the world collided with mars... and we all survived?
