(Yet Another Forum Testing Post)

If you're happy and you know it and you really want to show it clap your hands.
Alternatively, if you're German and you'd really like to help me out of a pickle click here[^]. Problems running the forums on German language systems have apparently been plaguing the forum scripts since their first release (which is odd because they were part created by a German: Uwe), and I'd like to make sure whatever is causing the problem/s is resolved in the upcoming version so I need help testing the software on such a system. Non Germans can still sign up of course, but I'm specifically looking for a German guy here... GSOH, 120lbs, Non-Smoker. *cough*

I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error when trying to post a reply to a thread in forumid 26. I am logged in.

You've caught me in my nightly "update the scripts of the server".
I was hoping no-one would be around this time of night - I'll get them up asap.

Hello again everyone!
I have updated the forum scripts to include Dynamic mode for Internet Explorer. I have only tested with IE6 sp1, but the scripts should work for at least IE 5.
Please bang away and notify me of any bugs.
Thanks!

I am just curious but have you used ASP before? If so, how have you found PHP in comparison?
Posting some test messages on your board now btw...

I prefer PHP because of its C-like syntax. PHP seems to be a tad more accessible than ASP, too. OTOH, ASP appears to be a more professional technology because it is produced by one company, not hundreds of independent developers.
Example: in PHP, naming conventions are not strictly enforced. There is a function named stripslashes() to remove backslashes from a string. There is also a function named strip_tags() to remove HTML/script tags from a string. Kinda shoddy if you ask me, but everything seems to work just fine.
However, I haven't done enough ASP programming to be able to make an in-depth comparison of the two. As far as I can tell, they are pretty much the same, though I don't know how PHP matches ActiveX controls. I think you'd have to write a custom extension for PHP and then recompile the binaries in order to get the same functionality you would normally get out of an ActiveX control.
Sorry I don't have a better answer than that. Maybe tomorrow. It's bed time now.

No, your answer was great, thanks
I just wanted a general feeling really.

I didn't use ASP much, but I know why I love PHP:
1. Very easy to use if you are familiar with C/C++ syntax.
2. You can program at a very low level (sockets, ..etc)
3. Widely available in hosting companies for no extra fees.
4. Available on both Windows/Linux hosts.
5. Integrates very well with a variety of databases.
6. Can be extended by programming your own extensions.
7. More popular than ASP, see hotscripts poll with about 40,000 voters (http://www.hotscripts.com/polls/results.hsp[^])
8. Open Source

Cool!
Now we all have somewhere to go if Chris should happen to nod off once every 100 days and the servers misbehave - a lifesaver
I knew it would end badly when I first met Chris in a Canberra alleyway and he said 'try some - it won't hurt you'..... - Christian Graus on Code Project outages

The scripts now support Dynamic mode for Netscape 6+, though they have only been tested with NS7.

Actually, your little clicky link thing did break them.

Did it work for you then? I tried them but both of them merely replace the entire window's content rather than perform the actions there were supposed to.

That's what it did for me, too, but I want to eliminate that.

What is the aim of this development? For fun, open source, to be included in CodeProject? .. just out of interest!
I noticed that even if the author unchecks the e-mail on replies checkbox, the e-mail is still mandatory. I guess if this option is disabled, then e-mail should be optional and in this case the [Email to Author] should not be available for this message.
Also when composing the message, there is not URL and URL^.
There is also something that is not feeling right about the images, it is either that the server is slow, or CP has a trick to make it load faster. You may want to consider pre-loading the pictures using JavaScript or providing the width / height if they are not there.
Good work...

I'm just doing a straight port for the time being. Maybe in a future version I will worry about this.

What browser are you using? Those currently only show up for IE4+.

I checked, and the width/height were not specified for any of the smilies. Thanks for catching that. They load much faster now.

You didn't answer my question about the reason for the development?

Someday, but no time soon. Lots of work left to be done. Definitely NOT GPL, though.

Hello all,
I am requesting your help in testing my newest PHP version of the Code Project forums. You won't find some of the bells and whistles that you're used to (yet), but it's pretty much a 1-to-1 port of the ASP/ActiveX version offered on this site.
So, without further ado, please pound on the forum scripts and do your best to break them. If and when you do, please let me know how you did it. Currently, there is no censoring enabled, so please keep the language clean.
Also, I hesitate to even call this an Alpha release. Please don't expect much polish, but rather a "just-got-it-working" version.
Have fun!

It didn't break for me.
