Please if anyone has time can you please test my nu mini forum php 24k

[nudotfm]

Removed links, see halojoy view below.

If not why not. Maybe we could add it admins.

I would say that is more important development requiremnet than critique code alone.

Regards. ;)

[Weedpacket]

Hard to critique code when there is no code available to critique :)

[faedia]

hello, i visited your forum but seemed cannot find anywhere to post?

[nudotfm]

hello, i visited your forum but seemed cannot find anywhere to post?

basically under the topic is a box with short description it is a hyper link to add or view threads, same applies for the replys.

Is it a forum or a blog?

Plus i added quick link to illustrate use. 24k php code means pretty simple.

respect l :) ove and peace to the world.

revisiting link above should be a lot clearer.

Weedpacket that is some serious posting.

[faedia]

now i diid it(a test post), the forum was simple n cute:))

[Shrike]

As Weedpacket says we can't say if it's good or bad since you haven't shown any code. From a usability perspective:

- I hit login without filling any details in and was redirected to the main page (no error message)
- The Javascript tree menu doesn't remember it's state when you hit a link
- I could make a guest post without filling in one of the fields (not both though)
- Hitting reload after posting stores a duplicate post.

I do like the Javascript tree menu, if it remembered it's expanded state and was made a little faster it would be great.

Oh and one more thing, using javascript:history.back() won't work if theres no history (e.g. coming from a bookmarked link).

[nudotfm]

removed because halojoy not happy.

[halojoy]

Weedpacket
has already said all there is to say:

"There is no code here"

So this is, in halojoy opinion, merely a cheep trick to get some hits at one website.
Not far from plain spamming!!!
And those ones usually ends up where they belong: TrashCan


Sorry man. But that's the truth, I think.

[nudotfm]

So all us php coders, we spend days and nites in succession, deving code. My paticular code is not released yet!! Given its taken me over three months to develop, i doubt anyone here would even have/take the time to read all the classes and build the software operational map up in their mind for code critique.

It's more likely i might ask for critique on say my template class or db class, but i don't need that, i need testers. You know fellow friendly coders, who as part of deving anything is highly important. But i failed to find request beta testers section here @ phpbuilder, maybe you could point me to the relevant section if not, i could start a thread on why it's not here.

I didn't realise adding to the post would send it back to the top of list.

Admin happily delete thread or file to bin.

I knew of phpbuilder long before i even knew what php was. As for cheap advertising I could use google for that.

You need people to come and test your new code. Hmmm where may if find help locating phpbuilder.com probably.

Regards and apologies
nu.fm :bemused:

I don't see the harm in being friendly and that is what this place should be at least. I am a new member, i might make posts in the wrong place, till better offay with layouts etc.

[Shrike]

You would be better of putting a post in the Echo Lounge forum, this forum, is as the name suggests, for code critique. That is, looking at your code rather than the output which it creates.

If you feel that any part of your application could use some improvement then it would be worth adding one or more files to the thread, or a link to a place where we can see the actual source. On the other hand if you want to know whether your website looks nice, or if it works as an idea, then this isn't really the right place to ask.

HTH

[nudotfm]

Thanks shrike.

[halojoy]

Thanks shrike.
I am sorry, nudotfm ( = nu.fm )
I do not want to spoil your fun here.

But we need to have some rules/guidelines what and where to post different topics.
Otherwise everything will end up in one big mess
I do not think you want this either. Do You?

If you havent read Rules and GUidelines, in this Code Critique Forum
maybe you should ...
Same goes for PHP Help or any other forum here at www.phpbuilder.com

As there are tens of tousands of members posters, we ceratinly needs some order in here.
I am sure anyone ( but professional spammers ) can agree to this.



Code Critique Rules and Guidelines
As always, please feel free to let me know if you think anything should be added, changed, or removed.

The Rules:
(aka "failure will result in a LARTing!")
Please only post finished code in this forum for which you would like to receive criticism. If your code isn't working, or is buggy, and you need help with it, take it to the Coding or General Help forum. Again, this is for complete code only. This doesn't mean it has to be a complete application -- the code simply needs to be in a completed state, without known bugs.
The Guidelines:
(aka "critiques in advance")
These are not the "rules" of the forum, but rather an attempt to come up with a few standards and guidelines. Feedback is appreciated as always.
The Code Critique forum was created to allow you to show off your coding skills, and to request feedback from others. It is intended for complete code only. If you have code that you are having trouble with, and are looking for help, you have come to the wrong forum. In this case, please take your question to the appropriate forum (such as Coding or General Help)

I know this is common sense, but we all make mistakes. Please remember to double check any code you post to make sure you've removed/changed any sensitive data like passwords, usernames, IP addresses, host names, etc.




This was just the beginning.
You have this link up your nose.
It is STICKY.

I don't know what a LARTing is, so therefore the rules should not be taken seriously until the reader is informed what a LARTing is.

WOO, lets all shoot each other!

Thanks halojoy for rules, hi madwormer2 me neither. makes thing easier.

[Weedpacket]

LART? It's explained in this forum's Guidelines thread - it's the one stuck to the top of the forum.

[madwormer2]

Note that it was edited yesterday ;)

[BuzzLY]

Yes... I edited it to make it perfectly clear to those that cannot follow a line of logic (or perform simple Google searches) just what the implications are for not following the rules.

Incidentally, this thread is specifically for the critique of code. Not a critique of your forum, or your website, or your latest recipes. Code.

It took a while to come up with a clever name for the forum that would convey this concept, and in the end, after much deliberation, we came up with "Code Critique." Note the lack of the words "Website," "Forum," or "Recipe." To be perfectly clear, for those that apparently need to have things spelled out for them: If you don't see your thing you want tested in the title of this forum, this forum is not where you want to ask for feedback.

In other words, this forum is for requesting feedback (aka, "critique") of the stuff you wrote for your application / website (aka, "code"). No, the word "PHP" is not in the title, so I guess one could come to the conclusion that this forum is for any code (including JS). You know what? I'm not going to quibble on that. Post your JS if you must. However, I think most of the people accessing this forum have the common sense to realize what is appropriate, and what is not. This is PHPBuilder, after all.

Does this post offend anyone? I'm sorry, but I find it quite annoying to have to spell things out for those people that most likely know they are bending or breaking the rules (or at best, proper netiquette), then come up with lame excuses to try to get away with it.

Look. You're a PHP programmer, or attempting to be one. You're a smart guy/gal. You know that 2+2=4. Try to use a little common sense... Be Gallant :), not Goofus :evilgrin: .

And read the FAQs. They are there for a reason.

Buzz... out.

[madwormer2]

not Goofus

I think you'll find its a poor attempt for me to be rebellious

:(

Haha.

Why doesn't one just, close this topic.

[BuzzLY]

No need. If people want to discuss, they can. I only close threads if the conversation is wholly inappropriate. Such as the discussion of ASP. :D

[nudotfm]

I don't know why, but i'm code shy?

I have made a significat discovery this year, i have discovered some new maths, that create XML like structures in computer memory (using human language & in a highly compressed manor) and the maths does other things to.

It took me three months solid, often with successive days and nights with no sleep. Somehow inside me I knew this structure existed, just did. I chose php as my prototyping language, often i would see beautiful structures unfold infront of my eyes and my days were filled with excitement. I would throw another wql(weebo quick language, my invention) expression at it, only to see it collapse until i solved it completly.

A process of paper - php - paper -php, ensued until the final day of Eureka. I am right, what lay inside my head, a kind of secret knowledge that i cannot offer a source for, is real and stands to assist the world of computing in ways even i cannot even imagine at this time.

I have found other uses for the maths. Its so simple I can teach you on the palm of your hand, young and old can understand weebo maths as i call it.

I know i have a duty to offer it to the world. If I worked for a company, I imagine they would want to patent it and gag me in the process. I desire to release as GPL but have so many questions myself about GPL, incidently is GPL3 out yet?

There are two things i want to happen when i release it.

1. Have my name attached to my invention and discovery (seems only fair).
2. If possible make a living out of it (I own Copyright, so books i guess whilst code free?).

Maybe this is the code you would want to critique.

Well i feel better now because i have announced it to the world I Eamonn Smyth have discovered some new maths, that does many interesting things and in the hands of mathematicians it will do a lot more.

Maybe I will achieve point 1 above if i make this the first repository of my code?

Prototyped, proved and testing language for wql and weebo maths PHP.
Also coded lighting fast Linux C 8k executable that does weebo maths, do you accept C here.

So you see for the reasons above, you might relate to why i'm a little retiscent to post the code, that i most want to post, "weebo code".

Anyway sorry if this thread is off topic, at least it still interesting. I have to go off and code my latest ideas for service enhancements to my recently introducted free email forwarding service.

Respect love and peace to the world.
Thanks phpbuilder community.
:)

[Shrike]

The point of the above post is...what?

[nudotfm]

Ok :) This people interaction thing causing head pain or is that the monitor, just noticed someone else asking for testers in code critique. Good luck.

No point.

[Shrike]

Strange your forum also took the last 3 months to develop. Or was that a different 3 months?

Why bother posting about your 'new maths' (I look forward to Weedpacket's reply to that ;)) if you don't elaborate further than it's Earth shatteringly gargantuan potential?

[nudotfm]

No wads the application delvery sytem 3months (powering nu.fm) 18k , the forum is mini app of wads 3days 24K. wads running nu.fm for 1.5 months, August now so maths ok.

Weebo maths 3 months approx. Jan 1 2005 + 3months.

I keep getting emails someone has replied to this thread.. Which make me inclined to return and respond. So i did and wish i didn't.

Good Luck. :queasy:

[Weedpacket]

I'm in such a state of anticipation I'm almost wetting myself!

[BuzzLY]

Hmmm... one would assume that wetness had only an on or off state. So the question begs to be asked... how do you almost wet yourself?

[Shrike]

Possibly with the aid of protection (http://us.pampers.com/).

Shrike runs off to hide.

[Weedpacket]

Hmm, that does look a lot more reliable and flexible than just crossing my legs very tightly.

But I guess I won't hear anything more about Weebo Maths. Oh, well. Research positions are not described as "publish or perish" for nothing.

[Shrike]

At least it wibbles and it wobbles but it won't fall down (http://www.hasbro.com/playskool/weebles/), eh.

[Weedpacket]

I'm starting to detect a trend, here....

[nudotfm]

Hi weedpacket, shrek

Whats up?, keep getting those emails :-)

Enlightenment for those seeking will be available soon, just as soon as i get materials together.

wetting, running for cover ??
spotting trends?

I want to offer my thanks again, for testing my forum which also tested wads at the same time. Which is more like a groups aware blog than a forum. Members feed back including faedia's was very helpful.

You have made it clear to me now, forum "code critique". So when ready to post code, i have developed I know where to come right?

About the maths , what it can do and me not being a mathematician!

Have no degrees, I can't look at "other maths" and somehow magically understand it, but i understand some of what the weebo maths can do.

Most immediate benefit.
One Human language (dialect independant) method of defining variables and structures in computer memory. Being driven by my maths which is highly efficient in computer memory and time makes me believe the correct way, because thats all computers do is calculate.

E.g.
Standard
<?php

$No_planes_must_take_off_without_clearance = "Awaiting Clearance";
if ($No_planes............
?>

<?php
// N.B. this is not a programme, is theoretical example only.
// I have used the $ sign to be consistent with php, but is not how I have devised wql V1.

$No planes must take off without clearance = "Awaiting Clearance";

if ($No planes must take off without clearance == "Clearance Recieved"){
Begin_Takeoff();
}else{
Wait_For_Clearance();
}

?>

I have obviously made the above examples sparten, I have not offered structure formation examples, the spaces are not a mistake, they are part of human language.

I prefer this human language style programming, requires less commenting and easier debugging.

OK so your no clearer I know, because you have not been taught the maths.

Some of the things I have done with weebo maths beyond defining In memory structures whether singular of multi-dimensional, the same maths produces both. :)

Off the top of my head.
Wrote a 24,000(approx) line php program with one wql statement probably about the same size as the paragraph above this one. Produced much larger PHP programmes and tested PHP parser to outer limits. The PHP parser fails without error when programmes to big.

Other examples can wait for the book when I get round to writing it. That sentence you just read, its size as a wql expression vi my 8kb linux c executable, produced a 2.1GB file that you would find very intriguing and interesting and readable. I even found the limits of emacs and the like, wish i had remembered the tail command. Doh!

I can say this, wql strutures are = to the size of the expression + the size of the data that fills it.

Given the examples above, you may be getting an Idea of how compressed things are.

Why, do i think the maths is new?

Maybe the maths is known, and nobody considered new applications for it, which i did. If this was the case, someone would have realised it by now with so many minds viewing it. It is so simple I would have been taught it at school because its fun and should be part of elementary lessons. I believe its simplicity is why it was missed.

XML is supposed to offer these benefits, as i believe. Be human readable and provide a method of exchanging data and structure between systems that support XML. I accepted neither point on closer inspection and set about finding my own way the result weebo maths far more efficient than parsers.

I would love to write more, but I have pressing issues @ nu.fm, namely income generation, to keep servers running and build my brand and hopefully provide services that are fun and always a little different.

Fair to say offtopic for sure.
Echo Lounge as you say best place.

Anyway I hope you continue to recieve lots and lots of code to critique and continue to provide a valuable service to your commnunity, which I am grateful to be part of. In due course, you will see code. I have been using linux and opensoure technology myself for a couple of years now, just to take seem unfair, I have every intention of returning something back to o/s, even considered open sourcing nu.fm as a method of growing it. It is a lot of work for one unpaid individual, yet i persist.

Remaining spirited.
Eamonn.
We danced all nite and then the sun came up.

[bubblenut]

Eh?
What's new? Using spaces in variable names? Checking a state variable before doing a particular task?
I don't see any new "maths" or anything else in your post :confused:

[Drakla]

Will it be able to take all the dirty limericks I've written and make them into something wonderful and unexpected?

What would it do with this... (clears throat)

There was a young girl from Far China
Who had an incredibly hairy... Pet Spider

I can't reveal any more of the limerick because I've yet to copyright it.

Oh - I'd better rewrite that:

$Young girl->origin = Far China;
$Young girl->Pet Spider = incredibly hairy

$Listener->Expected to hear = ...

[Shrike]

Shrike's Maths can write a 50 million line program with 239 bytes of PHP.

<?php
$str = '<?php' . "\n";
for( $i = 0; $i < 50000000; $i++ )
{
$str .= 'echo "There was a young girl from Far China";' . "\n";
}
$str .= '?>';
$fh = fopen( 'weeble.php', 'w+' );
fputs( $fh, $str, strlen( $str ));
fclose( $fh );
?>

There once was man from nantucket...

Allright that's old. How about this?

A man once studied his genus,
and saw that he had no :)

[Weedpacket]

A man once studied his genus,
and saw that he had no :)
Ah yes, those "Ascent of Man" diagrams. Going all the way from ape to modern man and looking relieved that he's depicted "right leg forward" the whole way.



I just can't help but point out that there is only one mathematics (that's why the name is strictly plural, but is treated as a singular). There may be new branches, but it's still the same discipline.

Douglas R. Hofstadter, Metamagical Themas
This entire Post Scriptum [10 pages], incidentally, was written in Novelflo (it was my first attempt at using Spark's language), and before being expanded, it was only 114 words long! I must admit, it took me over 80 hours to compose those nuggets of ideas, but Spark assures me that one gets used to Novelflo quickly, and hours become minutes.
Spark is now hard at work on the successor to Novelflow, to be called Supernovelflo. The accompanying expansion program will be called, naturally enough, the Superexpandatron. Spark claims this advance will allow a further factor of compression of up to 100. (She did not inform me how the times for writing a given passage in Supernovelflo and Novelflo would compare.) Thus, this whole P.S. - yes, all of it - would be a mere three words long, when written in Supernovelflo. It would run as follows (so she tells me):

SP 91pahC TM-foH

Now I'd call that jus-telegant!
