If you want a decent job done you have to be prepared to pay for it.

I did hear that right, didn't I... build an ecommerce site expecting half a million visitors per day for a hundred bucks and a cheap pair of fluffy dice? My honest advice is that the world of business may not be your forte.

There's a fine line between payment in kind and a con trick. Members can decide that for themselves.

Moved to project help.

I knew I would end up getting a post like this... I totally understand. I can admit that it is somewhat of a rip-off but it's my only choice right now. I don't have a lot of options and this is the best I can do with the last of our money. I hired another programmer in the past and they did half and ditched with a large amount of cash. Anyway, I look at it as this... Back in high school if you didn't have a lot of cash to fix your car you could bring it to the high school and they would work on it for almost nothing just for the learning experience. This is the same way. Perhaps I could offer more in the future but right now I'm just looking for someone that can offer some help. Thanks.

Tell me, what level of knowledge re security issues would you expect to find at high school? What does that say about your attitude to your customers (assuming you have any)?

The only reason I haven't deleted this is because you very helpfully provided an address to warn us where not to shop online.

You must not have any confidence in any of the PHP users that surf this forum. I'm done with this. Why does everyone want to fight on every forum all over the internet? I came on here to find a programmer, not to get flamed. Why would you not shop at my store? Because I came on here asking for a bit of help? Ummm, ok.

hmm..so much work so little reward, i would say yes if there were like 10 things, but you got like 100 or so, which means $1 = 1 change.

and what would i or most ppl on this forum do with car stuff? i dont even own car :lol:.

why did you pay all the money to the programmer without makeing sure everything is working and you liked it?

come to think of it, you spent lot of money and didnt bother to get the programmer to sign a contract? a major site like yours needs its own programmer at all times, you should've asked the programmer to look after it for a year or 2, and all you had to do was to pay him/per when s/he added anything new.

i myself offer free bug fixes to my own code, they shouldt be there in the first place so its my mistake, the client doest need to pay for that, so thasts why i fix them for free, anything new or changes client wants i chrage for that. you should've asked these questions when you were looking for a programmer.

McGruff ist flaming you, he does have confidence in all of us as we do in him, he is simply looking out for ppl who may take you on this offer which would be bad for you as for them, cos only a new comer to php world would go for something like this.

thank you...

There's a mixture of learners and experienced programmers on this forum. I'm always strict about security as any responsible programmer should be.

I wouldn't shop at your store http://www.mobiledreamz.com/index2.php because you intend to handle cc cards but obviously haven't bothered about a security policy. Internet cowboys are bad for the reputation of the internet as a safe place to do business. There ought to be a blacklist somewhere.

Help is what we're here for. There is a lot in this topic for you, if you were genuine.
