Why not just create a standard function such as this to prevent code repetition:
function initialize_hooks($hook_key) {
$hook = get_hook($hook_key);
if($hook) {
eval($hook);
}
return (bool)$hook;
}It makes much more sense in my mind

The [ img] BBCode tag references the <img> HTML tag.
Yes, I know.
Because all search input is escaped, you won't even be able to search for "<img>."
So, in short, no.What I would say is not to search exactly the "[url]" pattern, but all the post using an image. Not possible indeed?
Possible.

In functions.php, replace for ($i = 0; $i < count($extra_links[1]); ++$i) with for ($i = 0, $num_links = count($extra_links); $i < $num_links; ++$i). (Around line 315)

Re: Optimizations (14 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Yes. Using this code,
$array = array_fill(0, 500000, null);
$time = microtime(true);
for($i = 0; $i <= count($array); ++$i);
echo '<strong>', microtime(true)-$time, '</strong><br/>';
$time = microtime(true);
$count = count($array);
for($i = 0; $i <= $count; ++$i);
echo '<em>', microtime(true)-$time, '</em>';It took 35ms to iterate through the first loop.
It took just under 10ms to iterate through the second loop.

In function generate_navlinks(), count($extra_links[1]) is being redundantly executed with each loop iteration.
In function check_bans(), count($cur_ban_ips) is being redundantly executed with each loop iteration.
You can actually remove the entire for(; ; ) loop in check_bans() with this code:
//after line 363 in rev 1084
$cur_ban_ips = array_map(create_function('$ip', 'return "$ip.";'), $cur_ban_ips); //I don't even think you need this part, along with line 328.
if(in_array($user_ip, $cur_ban_ips)) {
//lines 371-379

1. I agree. number_format can accomplish this.
2. Redundant. See Home key.
3. Agree. A simple 'parent' column can accomplish this (null if top-level forum; parent's forum_id if otheriwse). As an added bonus this can also handle mutli-level forums.

stalling.
Solution:
mysql_escape_string($board_title);
mysql_escape_string($board_descrip);
In fact you should escape $username, $password1 and $password2, too.
Also, there are plenty of areas where you can use foreach instead of for for array looping; why don't you?

Re: PunBB 1.2 : Major spam issue (12 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
I find CAPTCHAs to be a nuisance, so I created my own human verification, http://funnel.ath.cx:1420/spam/. It verifies with a simple mathematical question such as
What is two plus eight;
Which is larger, three or seven;
What is eight times ten;
Which is smaller, ten or five;
and what is eight minus five.
You can also easily edit the script's language by changing lines 25, 26, 27 and 28 with your preffered language's words, too. Minimal PHP knowledge is required.

Re: What's with the absence of updates? (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
To avoid creating a new topic, I'm going to post this suggestion here.
IE6 and lower apply CSS faster when the tag name is specified along with the ID or span. For example, in http://dev.punbb.org/browser/branches/p … /print.css
.pun-common,
.pun-form,
.pun-modmenu,
.pun-mainhead,
.pun-mainfoot,
.postlinks,
#pun-maintitle,
.post dt span,
.pun-main h2 span.item2,should be,
div.pun-common,
div.pun-form,
div.pun-modmenu,
div.pun-mainhead,
div.pun-mainfoot,
div.postlinks,
div#pun-maintitle,
div.post dt span,
div.pun-main h2 span.item2,(Replacing div with the appropiate tag name, of course.)
