Lol download his "free script" what a joke dude.

what makes it a joke? some people need a counter like that

mad views....

I don't know where you get off basing somebodies skill on a free script for fun. No offense dude, but your a complete asshole for doing so. I would like to let everybody know that we are currently working with php-coder-for-hire on a project and we are more than satisfied with his level of skill and prompt project turnaround. So seriously dude, you need to fuck off with that shit.

What makes it bad, he ask the user to make a WHOLE directory 777. That's the major issue I see with the instructions. Just by that I would NEVER hire PHP-CODER-FOR-HIRE.

Big security hole. Just mho.

I spoke with him on icq today, seemed like a good guy. I'm looking at the script, its not done badly or anything. There's shorter ways to do what hes doing it in but they require php5

2) In the "ss-counter" directory, change permissions of file "count.txt" to 777

^ thats from his instructions...

Damn I must be really tired. I must truly apologize, I misread it wrong. I don't know why I thought it said change permissions of "ss-counter" to 777.

This is completely ridiculous, laughable at best. Please reserve your opinions until you hire this man for a project.

Well when I misread the instructions I thought differently. But as anybody else that I would bring on for a project, I would just want to see prior code. Which is common. And no, not full code, just sample code.

EDIT: And that is just because everybody can claim their a PHP coder because they know the echo statement.

It is security hole but a lot of script require that.For example smarthumbs which is used by many webmaster require entire directory to be 777

wow you're a fucking idiot and this thread shows you're probably one of those assholes who know NOTHING about php and expect a whole site CMS to be written, ready to go, flawless, with zero bugs and handle 500k unique visitors a day without even making a blip on the servers radar, all in less then 3 hours

i would never do business with someone like you, its a fucking free script, you think hes gonna make some complex script for free to download when his whole website is about selling his services?

fucking idiot :321GFY

serious business

Anyone remember that thread I made about this coder the other day.

Famous one line solution

<?
file_put_contents('count.txt',file_get_contents('c ount.txt')+1)
?>

well as long his demo does the job its fine..

I love scripts with no error handling

The one where everyone called you a fool for trying to call him out over nothing?
:1orglaugh

Preach it sista :winkwink:

Stupidity never ceases to amaze me... :1orglaugh

On another note, PHP-Coder-For-Hire has been working for me for the past 4-5 years, he does very good work and he's smarter, more skillful and reliable than 99&#37; of the people I have met here.

and for those who think chmod 0777 on a directory is a security risk are very much wrong. Sure, it is a security risk if you are on a shared server and every site runs as user nobody, but a LOT of scripts require directories to be writeable by the web server (and hence for large deployment, 0777 is the best solution).

and stop judging a person's programming abilities on a free download. Just because there are no OO classes, doesn't make someone a bad coder - it means they are making the classes php4/php5 compatible, because php4 OO support is shite!

Is horrible the same as whorable?

More reliable?

bump for you

Splum you asshole -I actually just downloaded the file and htf can you judge someones ability on that? It is a free script after all?

BTW your 'thousands of users' must really be reading your mailing list messages, because business on my end is booming lol!

i hired him to do small project for me, he did what he was supposed to do.
am asking him to do another project for me, and possibly another project down the lines. am happy with his skills and knowledge.

some people might have problems with his time delivery etc, i tried to understand what was really going on. did i wish he is more available and keeping his clients updated, yes. but that doesn't change the fact that he did a very good job on the script.

i may not know anything much about PHP, but for something liked to have done for me, he's my guy!

my two cents

$65/hour average? I work full time for a major affiliate program and don't make that... If you look at the Zend website there is an article on there currently that lists the average salaries in cities all over the country and none of them make that much. If you pay this guy $65/hour you are a sucker and deserve to get shit code for being an idiot.

oh my god, jealousy hurts

borked
1. To have totally fucked something up. Usually by doing something stupid. Specifically used to describe technology that is broken.
2. Something is "borked" when it doesn't work correctly or misbehaves, generally due to negligence by the person(s) that are responsible for it.

There is no need to make it 777, 666 would suffice, but come on guys, lets give him a break... it's a 5 line bs script, he probably put together in 5mins...

isn't irony sweet

heh, dude. Contract rate != Fulltime Rate. I do contract as well, and the reason we charge more is because we don't get paid for our downtime. If you want to live off contract work, you have to charge 60-100/hr unless you are in thailand or something.

I think good rule of thumb is freelance work is 2x of what similar work fulltime would cost, so if he was working fulltime he would make $32.5/hr = about $65k/year... which is a very fair price for a competent php programmer...

You guys do realize he isnt even 18 yet dont you?
I suppose that doesnt matter to some of you who have "hired" a minor to do work on your adult websites. :helpme :helpme

*sigh* make love not war! it would be nice to see some business threads rather then ones like this...

You mean business topics like...
Americans are stupid (Part 2) by PHP-CODER-FOR-HIRE ????

Hey, that's better then threads like this...

20, dude... 20...

20 > 18... this is quite basic mathematics even for you, how old are you, 9?

Lol my bad Adam. I just took a guess judging by your pictures. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
