Which is horrible for the industy. We've had clients "walk away" because their kid (who's like 14) knows php and made a calander (actually he downloaded a calander), but it just goes to show. The language and the system are becoming so n00bie friendly that its dummifing the industy.
I did 8 interviews last week trying to find a junior programmer in php. Many exist, but most are just script kiddies. They know where to find help, and they are masters of the ol' copy+paste.
Hey, I resemble that remark. Just kidding. First, I'm not 14. Second, although I use others' scripts I do make a point to read the manual (PHP, Perl) and learn what I can about what I'm doing, and I try to figure it out first on my own before asking for help. So some of us script kiddie types deserve a little credit (even if just a little).
I've been told that if one is trying to get employment as a programmer, he will do better having C# on the resume than PHP. PHP isn't a sought after language by employers. Employers want people who know C# and .NET.

Re: Poll: What browser do you use? (101 replies, posted in General discussion)
Mozilla 1.5 (too lazy to upgrade).
I use Mozilla Mail for email so I use the suite.
Never IE except for cross-browser testing. (I like IE's bookmarks though)

Re: Install.php (3 replies, posted in General discussion)
Did you try viewing install.php after installation? It should say:
The file 'config.php' already exists which would mean that PunBB is already installed. You should go here instead.
If it displays as above your site is safe. If the form doesn't display on the webpage, hackers won't have access to it. The only thing the public has access to is whatever displays as a webpage - the PHP source code is safely tucked away.

Re: PunBB 1.1.5 - Impressions (30 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
I just installed 1.1.5 and it was ridiculously easy.
(No wonder there are forums everywhere you look these days.)
I've never installed a forum before so I was a complete beginner.
You wrote good instructions.
I like your little 'test post' welcome message.
Thanks for the new toy.

No problem, just curious. I'll go ahead and try 1.1.5. If the upgrade is a pain I can always just delete it (saving the DB) and start over.

What's the ETA for version 1.2?
Is it soon enough that I should wait, or should I start now with 1.1.5?

Writing the kind of php code which Rickard has produced requires real talent.
How good is it? I know - that sounds like a joke, and I'm sure it's good. But I don't know much about programming so the only way I can know is to ask. People have told me, for example, that phpBB's code is really bad, and that FUD's is relatively good.

Except that he didn't write the clean markup for 1.2, Paul did.
I know; I was thanking everybody as a group - Rickard, Paul, Chacmool, and anyone else.
I agree that writing good XHTML/CSS isn't as easy as some think. It's getting easier, but there are lots of cross browser compatibility issues.

Re: PunBB 1.2 - What's to come (300 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Thanks for writing 1.2 in XHTML/CSS.
That's the main reason I like this forum and am planning to use it.
I was planning to take another one - the FUD Forum maybe, and convert it from table-layout to CSS, but you saved me the trouble.
I haven't looked at the source code yet and I don't know much about PHP, but it sounds like you gave as much attention to writing well-structured PHP as you did to writing clean markup.
Good job.

Is there a feature that allows the admin to approve registrations? In other words, can a forum be set up so that only members of an organization can join and post.

Jansson wrote:How does the updating work?
A perl script "opens" the forums and parse the html-code for statistics each night. There are some different ways to do it: parse the index-page, or extern.php. I'm also working on an own stats-file people could use to make it easier for me. This one could also include more info than I can fetch from the original files.
I'd be interested in seeing the Perl. You didn't write it did you? Sounds like what I heard someone else refer to as a 'scraper' for gathering content for an RSS feed.

Isn't there a feature that allows the admin to approve registrations? I would have thought that would be standard. So, for example, a forum can be read by the public but only members of an organization can join and post to it.
