No worries I'll take a look at these anyways. I've been on a binge of these comics :)

That's an entire site for comics not your favorite comic!

Should specify for web security.

If you download enough you'll reach 64TB

That's true. I've just been taught it's better not to. Maybe things have changed since then.

The main reason not to is to avoid any possibility of a man in the middle attack.

Psh foreigners.

real-time chat was just an example. Though I would love to work with Websocket over 'hacking' my way around AJAX to do the same thing I want to do. I just don't have the money to support a dedicated web host that allows websocket.

That's where my question comes from. Could I possibly emulate 'realtime' efficiently using AJAX. I don't need it to be realtime, but a close second is acceptable for my current needs.

Thanks for letting me know! {•_•}/

I only intended local network testing. Was going to throw up my dedicated server with the website and spam it until it dies. I just don't know how haha.

Yup.. Happened to me not too long ago with PHP... No line number to go by.

A fascinating read. I'm not usually one to read through this kind of stuff, but this one had me locked.

I've swapped my domains around a few times through them. Sometimes I buy from domains.com and add them to godaddy or vice versa. I haven't had problems. If anything, it was my own lack of DNS knowledge that messed me up.

They asked for the cheapest. I offered up the cheapest. $1 for Godaddy is probably the cheapest you'll find. Regardless of their policy/tactics.

A mix depending on what I need to do.

The ads are entirely optional. They don't pop up, they don't appear on a page. You literally have to click a link that specifies what it is and it is working wonders for the mobile devs as they make thousands of dollars a day using it. I thought it would be a nice way to give certain people an option. Because as of right now it's either paying your own money, or playing an ad in the background on mute for 30 seconds to spend the advertisers money while you get something for free.

Win-win in my view.

Sorry yeah I'm in a car right now.

If you have ever played a mobile game. I want to implement a way to have a user watch a video ad and then get a reward for watching the ad. Just like they do in a lot of phone games now.

Is the pain in the ass worth it in your opinion?

Depending on what you want to do, Godaddy offers infinite websites on VPS for about $100 - $150 a year. Good for smaller sites. You could then migrate if you ever needed to expand into something more dedicated. Domains are usually like $12 a year, but Godaddy typically has an offer for $1 for the first year and such as well.

Haven't really looked into other hosts, except for domain registrars.

Aye, I'll look into it! The price has to be right though!

That Suicide Linux though... oh man.

I think we need basic understanding of programming and technology. Encryption isn't bad. Programs are easily manipulated in the hands of the wrong people. Etc.

If you do your job on the internet, you actually can claim your internet bill on you taxes. You can claim computers parts and all of that as well.

Unfortunately there's no way to prevent human error entirely, but the devs are definitely at fault. If only they would put as much consideration and dedication into their work as NASA's Apollo Mission.

I totally agree with you. But there are certain cases where that just doesn't apply. For example, a major overhaul of a government site should be intricately programmed with plenty of documentation to avoid mistakes as much as possible. You don't want security vulnerabilities and such. In a personal project, sure, go fast, break things, learn from it, you're not putting anyone at risk with it and you may just happen to find a vulnerability within the software itself that you have now assisted in securing.

Human error is always a variable. You can't prevent everything. It's amazing that nothing slipped drastically. Though there were some issues they encountered. But, if every programmer treated it like you said, we may already have far greater tech than we do now.

Imagine if every programmer would put as much intricacy and documentation into their work.

Full disclosure, I'm not that good at doing so myself yet.

I don't remember things well, so unfortunately, it is difficult for me to learn, but I enjoy developing and improving upon myself as I go. Like everyone says, you need to do the things you love and it won't be work at all. It'll be a hobby you get paid for. That's why, if you are learning to program. Start a project that you want to see happen. If it's web development and you have an idea for a website, build that website. The best thing you can do is fail faster. We learn from our failures and improve from them.

This is awesome. What's the accuracy like? I'm gonna try it out even though I can't read sheet music. It would be awesome to see someone use this program with some kind of addon that could transcribe songs into playable tracks on games like RockSmith or Guitar Hero.

I still find it ridiculous that this standard for all websites still costs as much as it does. When is the free certificate thing going live for everyone? (Completely forgot the name of it, sorry)

This is awesome! I may just have to put this on an external for use down the line.

Wouldn't it be nice if more people actually had an interest in finding the issue and fixing it? It's unfortunate that in most cases it's, "Not in the budget." to debug code regularly. That's for company situations though.. Open source stuff you'd hope that competent dedicated people would have the drive and enthusiasm in what they were working on to not half-ass it and skim over things.

You answered it in your reply, actually.

What happens when a backer charges back or payment fails?

The website is essentially selling virtual stock.you added that it's the obligation of the campaign runner to provide what they owe. Do you plan on adding a section where it explains what the % of product owned actually is?

Some questions, actually. I remember seeing an idea of something exactly like this pop up in some comments somewhere.

1. Legality. how are you ensuring everything runs smoothly on the legal front? These types of things often times run into trouble somewhere.
2. How is money sent, retrieved, and held? Do backers instantly send money through Stripe? How do campaigns receive the money?

Haha. I used to do this all the time when I was working with NotePad++ I switched over to KomodoEdit 8 and it auto closes most elements for you. Super convenient and prevents some of these kinds of things from happening. Even the smallest things can get past us though! I had a few of these moments last week.

When I get home to fix this and this works I am going to cry... Such a stupid mistake that I couldn't notice...

Also I forgot to thank you. So thank you so much for pointing out my stupid mistake!

Nah that's not how it looks. For the full page here's a pastebin: http://pastebin.com/Vqcn7QbF

What it's posting to database:

<p><img alt="" src="../images/article/rockband3.jpg" style="height:7px; width:12px" /></p>

Which shouldn't be the case. I removed the style attributes so they shouldn't be allowed and should automatically be removed. But they aren't... Which leads me to believe HTMLPurifier isn't actually purifying the data. And every time I try to echo to the same page it is completely broken and returns:

<img alt="\"\"" src="\"../images/article/image.jpg\"" style="" width:1222px\"=""> 

Completely different from what it submits to the database.

So I ran the data through the purifier, then submit it to the database through this:

$clean_html = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['Story']);
$sql="INSERT INTO published (Title, pageTitle, Story, Date)
VALUES ('$Title', '$Title', '$clean_html', '$Date')";
if (!mysqli_query($conn,$sql))

I left out the other sections of the code for space and cleanliness. I'll attempt stackoverflow next. They usually direct me to an answer the doesn't work and close my question, so I have better luck on places like this.

I can barely program with eyesight.. >_>

:D

/v/php isn't on the list.
