I don't know that I have one perticular piece of code that stands out, I wrote a functional webserver for a C++ class, a wrote a random windows background changer recently it is cool...

oh my favorite piece of code wasn't the best but it was great. I wrote a fake ping program during a networking class I was attending. I installed it on the computer next to mine while it's user was in the bathroom. LOL it was great to see him ponder over why one ping to an IP would give him all 1-4 second responce and the same ping a second later would give him 600+ responce and timeouts. :D

Cheers Sam

the coolest script? my backend for http://www.vexdev.com , though it is yet to have all the features i'd like (comments, pm systmem).. it is still gratifying to know that i am not just another <span style='color:blue' title='I&#39;m naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> php-nuke site.

the most well-liked script though, was probably the tagboard i wrote. i probably had around 2000-3000 downloads of that in the lifetime my site was up. i gave up on upgrading it when 4.2 came out... i will get around to making it valid eventually. people still IM me on AIM asking for it too :(

I started learning PHP for CompInaBox and have worked on other projects since(Photo caption contest, rateable/commentable library system, and an off-site install of SourceForge). CompInaBox still devours my availible non-work time, but the version 1.0 is approaching and many New England schools are using my software this fall. I'ld post some links to some active installs of the software, but our beta-test site is changing servers now. I wouldn't call it the best code I've ever written in PHP or other languanges, but I'm consistently working to make it my best. Parts of it I consider wonderful and parts I'm ashamed of.

CIB is a suite of tools for running ballroom dance competitions.

My best script

My best PHP script was a Login System I'm really proud of it.

P.S. People don't think that's a easy thing to make... I'm only 13 years old!!! I'm trying my best!

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I thought I could use some publicity:
txtSQL, I'm currently working on SQL parsing and thinking bout a feature that would allow txtSQL to run through sockets which would let it execute queries without too much time wasted (like a 50000 record database in .2 seconds)

Easily the best code I ever wrote was my first unit test. Overnight I became "test-infected" and the next few months were full of discoveries against a background of green (and red..!) bars.

It would take a book to explain the benefits of testing properly. Doing away with frustrating debugging sessions is a huge gain and I love the way you can sometimes get away with educated guesses about something you need to change without taking the time to fully understand what's going on. If it's a green bar it must be right...! Sorted.

Its pretty much a tie between my wordsearch generator and PHPhoto.. though I've done some pretty cool work stuff too.. Uniform (XML -> Form -> SQL) is kinda nice.
