PHP Forum

I'm never buying a book again!~ I went to get wrox php book but it was 75 bucks (with out tax) sams was even more and I was to lazy to go to UBC just so I can get a student disscount so I bought the cheapest one they had lol. So with this book I should beable to learn php alot faster cuz I can read it when I'm on the buss to and from college etc...

Once I get more ram (wednesday or thursday) I'll ftp running so ya'll can use my pc as a test server or just find a good host with php and mysql

And since I have a habbit of not turning my pc off when I'm at college or sleeping it should be up most of the time

Okay. I'm not that great at PHP, but I can do the design, HTML work, and graphics.

The server is only up if there is a red tick in my signature...

I still think we should start from scratch

Creating our own forum from scratch would be good and snooping at openbb's code once in a while to get a better idea on how something works would be good I think...

We can use my puter as a test server I'm getting 512mb of ram on wednesday or thursday ( total of 608mb ) so I'm sure that is plenty for the devopment. I also keep my computer running most of the time. It is my alarm clock lol

I can also install a ftp server or use the gay crappy one that comes with iis. That way everyone would be able to upload modified files etc.. I'm on cable so unless my mom/brother/sister and my self are playing games online should be ok transfer speeds

URL to my puter = http://phatbb.cjb.net (goes to a folder on my web page ( http://cfists.clanpages.com ) opens index.asp witch redirects you to my last known ip address)

Your ip is not dynamic so....

You can just post your ip here.

Do you have mySQL?

Yep got mysql. Actualy my ip is dynamic sorta well they claim it is dynamic so when my ip lease runs out (8 days) I "might" be given a new ip. I have had this ip for over a month so I think I'll have it for some time to come :p

-- http://24.77.84.172/ --
or
-- http://phatbb.cjb.net/ --

The network specs for Shaw cable say that network addresses are not portable or dynamic....

Maybe Shaw is static then our cable company use to be Rogers but Shaw and Rogers switched (Shaw wanted Western Canada so they gave all there east up for Rogers west) but I do know about 2-3 months ago my IP was different from what it is now

any one know a good ftp server program (free ware or shareware)

That's probably because my web server is not running.

If there is a tick in my signature, you can go to that link ;)

i don't mean to be picky, but PhatBB, i mean, come on. could we get another name?

That was the only name suggested lol

if we make it easy to set up we could call it
easy bb
ez bb
easy forum
ez forum

cool bb
php bb

Well....maybe we should put up a poll or something on the main VB page for everyone to vote...

Not a name with easy... :\ try to find a revolutionary name :)

How 'bout BB4u?

"I was thinking more along the lines of...Secure-It! Forums!:D;) ;) (With encrypted passwords/databases!:D)"

Poor Ei, all the world around his name :D

eiSecure: I don't know about that name

Doak: Yes name with easy is kinda lame

Interactive BB?

I'm not verry creative today

also e-mail me for a ftp account if we decide to use my comp

Cool. Did you know that vBulletin currently has only 7 people working on the entire project?:)

...and since John is one of them, I suggest we use my forums instead of this one.:D

It's in my signature.

we have to make this forum very very customizabe. we should try and make a built in chat room for each forum too. it seems that everyone at VBW is doing good with the one they set up. I know some java, and i am sure if i brush up on it and learn a little more i could make a cool chat applet.

hmm...for some reason, doesn't having a chat applet make the forums obsolete?:confused:

This forum chat is nice because it use the account of the forum :)

We could make a seperate chat app that can be intergraded into the forum and promote them as 2 products

A Spell Checker! that is a must for our forum. I can't spell worth **** and there are like no forums that have a spell checker (that I have seen)

Not a spell checker

it will make everything too slow.

Read the posts in forum feedback about spell checker...

i don't think john will mind, nor will he try to borrow our ideas :p

We could make it an option (someone clicks the spell checker button and it checks etc...)

yeah nah

It is a waste. Most people don't care.

If you care that much about your spelling and grammar, paste it into word before you post it :rolleyes:

I don't care that much.

Okay no spell checker :)

good

we're starting from scratch, yes?

I think so, if we run into problems we can allways look at openbb to figure it out.

Just what to start with is a problem :rolleyes:
