What exactly was your reasoning starting this thread? What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to prevent people from using him? Why can't you just let buddy make a living?

I have no idea what it is you do, but i doubt he's done anything to try to cost you any money.

Splum is simply on his mission to rid the world of all things unamerican.

That's in a perfect world without XSS, SQL and REQUEST var injections.

you mean in a world with strip_tags(), mysql_real_escape_string(), and global variables disabled? There's ways around these of course but that covers most of the bases

1) There are shorter ways to do this, but it requires PHP5; something a lot of people still don't have. I wasn't about to do error handling for an undefined function for a 10-line script. PHP5 does what PHP4 did and more, so it's usually good to code for PHP4, especially when you don't know what version they're running.

2) It's a free script that was put there to get traffic from HotScripts.com. Notice the "SUPER SIMPLE" part of the title, also.

3) Even thought I told the user to CHMOD the file to 777, it's not a security hole. All you have to lose is one number. Woopty shit. And that is only if you're on shared virtual hosting. 777 on a Directory isn't a security risk EITHER if there's nothing there to lose. The counter is in its own directory ANYWAY.

4) Yes, 666 would work, but it's not nearly as common as 777, and anyone from HotScripts would probably feel better just checking all the boxes off instead of all but three. Many FTP programs do not show the actual number you're setting it to.

5) http://www.php-coder-for-hire.com/projects/ <-- you can find some recent projects there. All valid CSS and XHTML, all very quick scripts, and most importantly, all very customizable for the end user to make it fit/look like wherever/whatever they want

6) It's a free script....and you're a moron!

7) I'm not a minor... I'm 20 years old, and anyone who hired me before I was 18 (alchemist for example), did so for mainstream work.


SPLUM:
======

You are quite possibly the worst person on GFY to date (and there are a lot to chose from). That non-business thread you are talking about was at 3AM on a Thursday night, and only because someone had posted a very similar video.

Maybe some time you can hire me for a project and THEN if you aren't happy comment about the quality. There have been a couple people on here with some understandable complaints about me: time issues, deadlines, organizational skills, or telling them I can't do their projects for them.

NEVER has any client EVER said anything wrong about the quality of the code, or how well it works.

Does that counter count? YES.

Is that counter easy to install? YES.

Is that counter simple? YES.

Is that counter compatible with PHP4? YES.

Are there easier ways to make that script? YES (but not for PHP4)

Should I put error handling into that script? ABSOLUTELY NOT. It isn't worth it, and if a user has an error, it would be hard to troubleshoot if they can't see what the error is.



Thank you to all the people who backed me up in this thread, especially the fellow programmers and current & past clients.

I must not be doing such a horrible job if I keep getting repeat business even AFTER serious time delays.

he has done plenty of scripts for us without a problem, what do you have against the guy?

Also worth mentioning that a majority of adult companies I have encountered are on PHP4

Explanation accepted, thats all you had to do instead of offering a free 10 line script with potential security risks. Also maybe you should think about what the word "business" means. If you think I would hire you after the shit you say about my country you are seriously misguided. Then again you dont care I am sure, and thats just fine and dandy with me. You are the one trying to get "hired" you shouldnt alienate potential customers with your rants.

Ohhh good job picking out the webcam pictures from when I actually WAS a minor.

How about some recent ones just to contrast those ancient ones, you dolt.

Or how about my current hotornot rating (without big muscles, and without my shirt off, and without wet hair or photoshop effects. And it's not even a good picture of me.

I think this thread proves nothing about my work, and more about your character.

Hey splum, let's see some pictures of you.

why are people always trying to find something to slam someone for. the drama queens are the worst.

Like Search said in the white rapper show.. THIS IS NOt a Game People.

It's because he posted a video about 'Stupid Americans'. And since Splum is a neo-con, he foams at the mouth when anybody posts anything "bad" about Americans (even if it is done in satire/comedic fashion).

1) Hardly a rant
2) If you're so good at digging up threads about me, try the one where I say that I rarely have time to pick up new work because I'm so busy.
3) Anyone who would be alienated by a thread like that, I don't want as a customer.

Do you realize how many Canadians there are on this board and how much Canada is slurred? Easily once a day someone bashed the shit out of Canada, but that's okay, because I am comfortable in knowing that it is just dipshits like you who are doing it. Do we bitch and whine? No, because we're pretty sure that it's just humour (as in the case of my thread last night).

I'm not insecure enough about my country and myself that I need to start threads about "How much of an idiot Splum is" or "How many people disagreed with Splum in a thread I'm sure he thought would pay off by making PHP-CODER-FOR-HIRE lose work"

well some kids need to be monitored by the parents when on the internet, Splums mo should be notified

You are a fool, Splum, and everyone here knows it.

I dont bash Canada.... often. I dont give a fuck what you think about me that little script was a piece of shit and you know it so go fuck yourself kid.

You should be thanking me for the thread views and the extra business anyways, havent you learned a thing?

I used to respect splum a great deal, but he turned into some CRAZED pro-american-thoughtless-douche asshole. I am a dual citizen. I love Canada. I love my home in the USA. I truly believe based on my PERSONAL beliefs that the US is superior to Canada in many ways. However I don't go around an ADULT WEBMASTER BUSINESS board screaming about it calling people names for not thinking the EXACT same way I do.

Bottom line is it is MORE than obvious Splum is a small minded fool when it comes to politics and worldlyness. Outside of that maybe he is a super nice guy and brilliant. But the way he presents himself as the "US CRUSADER" I'd say he's a fucking prick who should get hit by a bus.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

Rational people rock!

mmhmmmm you know it gurrrrrllll! :boyalley


oh and splum, you make baby america cry

just like everybody can claim to know what a security hole is by using a 777 directory as an example. :1orglaugh

Honestly, how complex did you expect something named: super-simple-pageview-counter to be?
