Need Some input !!!!!!!!!!!

lanjoky

Ok guys/gals,

     I am finally getting some time to myself, school has been a major pain in the but lately, and want to start a new php project.  The only problem is I cant think of anything constructive to start ... So I turn to you guys ... hoping you can give some good ideas that will inspire me to start working on something.

Here are some ideas that ive thought of but are frankly not what I want to do:
create a blog
create a CMS
create a portal

I want something somewhat unique that takes some thought in how to attack building of the project ....

Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated!!

drawmack

why don't you create a portal that uses a cms to allow people to host their blogs?

Make a forum script or make something like really annoys people (like a forum script). 😃

oh oh make a cron that will automatically post links to related threads for common questions posted to the forums.

How 'bout a fully featured FTP program? In PHP of course.

Merve

Open your own bank and make an online transaction thingy.

better yet, right a php script that will read my mind and then write whatever program I am thinking about.

<?php
echo $what_drawmack_is_thinking;

output: "Merve is a dork-ass. Mmmm....cheesecake. What the hell? There's no cheese!" :p

You've got a lot of input now, lanjoky. How about some output? (You can post the code in code critique forum when you're done) 🙂🙂🙂

echo $what_drawmack_is_thinking;

Wow that was easy .... next 🙂....

Other then the ftp program there has been no "solid" input .... this is a serious question!!

Thanks

that doesn't write the program I'm thinking about.

Close enough. Your obviously thinking of a PHP script that makes ASCII porn.

Well, a couple suggestions

1) The ModBot. Seems to have been a lot of conversation but no real action.

2) A WYSIWYG PHP editor. Seems to be tons of IDE's out there, but still people use Dreamweaver(who's PHP support is just not up to snuff IMHO)

Make this a reality. PLEASE make this a reality 😃

Merve

I'm serious. Make a word-search creator (a complicated one).

Dreamweaver > j00.

I really just use it for the color coding and reference boxes.

if(in_array($crap, "Dreamweaver")) {
   echo "Found Dreamweaver in the crap pile!";
}
else {
   echo "Well, it should be in the crap pile";
}

Use something where you have complete control over your code, right LordShryku? Although something tells me that the LART is coming your way because of that post......

Bring it on!!! 😃

And yeah, I'd rather hand-do everything. Maybe I'm just a sadist.

Now now, don't be dissin' my Dreamweaver... I love that damn thing. And yes, I do code by hand at times, but it's so much better for the brainless HTML stuff like tables and such.

So :p

I agree totally ... Dreamweaver is the best editor that Ive found so far ... I cant live without it !!
