Hello forum mates!

I'm almost sure that at least some of you have noticed the use of this kind of quoting on my posts:
PHP Portal Website wrote:PHP 4.3.5RC3 has been released for testing. This will be the last release candidate prior to the final release, so please test it as much as possible. List of changes can be found in the NEWS file.
[url=http://www.php.net/mysql_fetch_row]mysql_fetch_row[/url] section of the [url=http://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php]PHP Manual[/url] gently wrote:mysql_fetch_row() fetches one row of data from the result associated with the specified result identifier. The row is returned as an array. Each result column is stored in an array offset, starting at offset 0.
It is a bit laborious task to write 'by hand' a post with a quote like those but now it becomes easy: I made a little tool to help me on this matter and I think I should share it with you.

It is a Java application and you can download it here: http://scorphus.no-ip.com/files/phpBBPost.jar You'll need a Java enabled system to run it. Try to double-click on it or type on the console: $ java -jar phpBBPost.jar

Please tell me what you think. It's still beta and I plan to add some more features. I'm in a hope for suggestions!!! (and also criticism :P)

I hope you think it's useful, thanks,
Scorphus.

Thanks for the cool script, I'll try it out. I went and checked out your site, very cool, I liked the lightening strike and floating scan bar.

I'm living in Sao Paulo, Brasil originally from Vancouver, Canada via Miami, Florida (10 years). Working as part-time webmaster for a Casino website to pay the rent, and seeking some assistance in developing or fixing some sites. My plan is to generate more income from the 12 totally killer Domains I registered in 1994 - 1996.

Today I was in this forum because I'm trying to re-install a 14,000 member database in MySQL on http://www.securitydealers.com - Years ago I paid a programmer and he installed using Perl and CGI, the original project funding stopped stopped sometime ago, I was left with the Domains (which I registered anyway) and data.

Only recently I've started learning MySQL and PHP (plus CSS and others) and have no problem installing scripts using phpMyAdmin and making the sites with templates etc... but I'm having a tough time with projects from scratch and getting PHP to connect to MySQL when I start from scratch.

I saw some nasty flames in this forum but I decided to post this plea at the risk of getting torched myself. I'd gladly pay talented people, as soon as I get the sites making money. If someone wants to build their CV and work under an agreement for future proceeds, then I've got the best resources you'll find - just no cash at this time.

You won't - or shouldn't - get flamed for asking for volunteer help in this project help board. What nobody likes to see is someone advertising a "job" in the job hunt board which, when you read the small print, turns out not to have any reward other than a vague promise to pay you later in cash or in kind if the site is a success.

The key is to be honest from the start about what exactly you are and are not offering.

Personally, if your ambition is to build a business on my work, I'd expect to be paid. However, as you mentioned, budding programmers looking to build up their CV might be interested in the right project.

siliconpalms: Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoy my website. Please be my guest to learn from the scripts that make that floating menu effect.

forum users: By the way, the help I want in this project are just feed-bak, suggestions, testings, ideas, etc... thanks.

Scorphus.
