Hello and Welcome to PHP Coding Competition One!

In this, our First Competition, your challenge will be to code a Bug Tracker.

A Bug Tracker should show a Coders' Skills, with the Use of PHP and a database. All scripts should be secure, but a Bug Tracker should have extra security, as the Tracker could contain major vulnerabilities in the script it's tracking. It should be easy for users to see a list of bugs and which are Resolved or Unfinished, and most importantly, a feature to file a bug report.

With this in mind, you should try to make your script as secure as possible, and add as many features as you can which will benefit not only the Admin, but the Visitors.

Competition Information
You are not required to post your code in this Competition. Code will be submitted to the contest holders only for review for compliance to the competition rules and to be hosted for judging.

The Competition will officially start in two days (1st April), we trust you not to start Before then.

The Competition will last for 20 days. (Script entry date 21st April)

Voting
The Votes will be made by NamePros' Members (excluding competitors), so, the more features you add, the more you are gonna impress those members!

Voting will be opened once the script entry date has closed, plus two days for preparation. (Reciving scripts from all participants)

Entering
To enter the Competition, please reply to this thread saying "I'm In!", or something for us to distinguish who is in or not.
Once the script entry date has ended, please create a thread in the Private Messages to Management area on NamePros ( http://www.namepros.com/contact-np-management/ ) with your script. If it includes multiple files, you can ZIP and make an attachment to your thread. Please include in the thread title: [PHP COMPETITION]

Also, state if you want to host the script on your Server, or the Competition Holder's Server.
(When made publically viewing for Voting)

I'm In!

Except what exactly do we make? If we are making a bug tracker, then what bugs should be in it? Kind of like the default error log or something or do people submit bugs through some type of contact form?

(Do we win anything?)

Well, i've never made a bug tracker, and have no idea where to start.
Ah well, i'll stay out of this one.

<edit>
Is it just me that noticed the competition starts on April Fools Day - I can just imagine RJ posting on the day "April Fools! There is no competition really.", lol

A bug tracker is a script where users can report bugs to a software programmer. The visitor can view past bug reports and submit one of their own. Usually the programmer can comment on a bug report and mark it as fixed or resolved.

After the discussion thread, writing the rules, checking Frameworks and checking License, this is certainly not a April Fool's. :lol:

Yep.

If you guys don't know what a BugTracker looks like, checkout the one PhpBB uses.
