Only known any PHP for 3 weeks, so I'll have a fun one if you like

haha.. your on!

I'm still a PHP newbie but I'll take part in the competition. Fun way of learning.

Is this idea still up? If you guys, admins and mods, need some help organizing something, maybe i can help.

Not sure aboutt his... last I heard was that the probably won't be one becuase their was only 1 entry last time!!

Barrucadu · 09-01-2007, 12:12 PM

I may join this one if the task is smaller. A small-ish script, instead of a full-blown one.

Here are a few ideas to brainstorm:

Browser information (country, ip, language, etc)
Currency conversion
WHOIS details
RSS reader (with the ability to use an existing class)
BBcode parser
SQL syntax highlighter

The outcome of a previous competition won't affect future ones.

We shall simply make people more aware of the future ones.
Maybe make something a little smaller too, i think a Bug Tracker was too overwhelming for most here.

the others arn't too bad suggestions, though a RSS Reading, with the ability to use an existing class?
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/359675-possible-php-coding-competition-2-discussion.html

PHP Code:

  <?php

 
require_once './rss_reader.php';

 
$reader = new RSS_Reader;

 
$reader->define_rss('http://blahblahblah.com/blah.xml');

echo $reader->parse('title');

 
?>

It'll be something like that, took a whole 20 seconds too write.

We need something bigger, imo, but not too big.

Well, my idea was, that because the scripts themselves are quite simple, how it looks, and the efficiency of the code would be much more important when it came to voting.

"Browser information (country, ip, language, etc)" - That would take 5 minutes. :\

I was thinking, maybe a plugin for an already existing tool, I was also thinking possibly WordPress, it's easy to learn how to code for, and it allows the creator lots of flexibility.

Any opinions on making WordPress Plugins?
