Finished: PHP Coding Competition (Started April 1st!)

[RJ]

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)

I would love to join in, I've done a couple of bug trackers before and they're actually quite fun to make, finishing them off with little extras etc however i can't stray anymore than i already am from my revision/work this holiday.

Good luck to all who enter and I'll be sure to vote

Matt

 

[Xyzer]

I * should * be in this.. depends on how things go tomorrow!!

 

[BillyConnite]

Good luck everyone! :D

Doh - If only I hadn't had my extra long trip away from NamePros, I might have compete in this .

Im out.

Best of luck, and you'll see me on voting day :tu:

 

[RJ]

One week left. I hope your coding is going well.

There is still room to join if you want to participate!

 

[Xyzer]

gah might not have time

 

[lee101]

I might not eb abel to finish either, I'm working on it now and with going back to school on monday probably won't have too much spare time.
Hopefully I will though

 

[Hitch]

Thousands of lines later, and i now have about half of my Bug tracker complete. :kickass:

 

[JFS]

i'm starting it today lol
haven't had the time last week ( fortunally )

 

[Eric]

To enter or not to enter, that is the question... :blink:

 

[Xyzer]

I have now decided to enter this competiton. Maybe people that enter but do not win should get a small prize for taking part? Are the winners going to get like a small badge like radio name pros one saying they won the php competition?

 

[Eric]

To enter or not to enter, that is the question... :blink:

<?php $question = (to()) ? enter() : ~enter(); ?>

:gl:

I will not be entering this one, hopefully there is another soon. I just do not have the time (and there's only 3 days left anyway).

 

[Hitch]

Today is the Script Entry Date!

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]

[psalzmann]

Hey guys,

Great idea. I wish I could enter this time around but I will not be able to. I have deadlines I need to meet this month but I'd love to participate in future events.

Bug Tracker seems to be a great idea!

Good Luck!

 

[RJ]

Deadline day! We'll allow another 12 hours or so from now for everyone to get their entries posted. Follow the instructions above posted by Hitch.

Are the winners going to get like a small badge like radio name pros one saying they won the php competition?

That's not a bad idea.

 

[Xyzer]

and damn.. i forgot about this *cries* :p

 

[RJ]

EXTENSION!

A few programmers requested additional time, so we are extending the deadline to the end of the month. All entries now due by May 1st.

This was cleared with everyone who has submitted entries so far (there weren't many!),

[Xyzer]

wow the extention is great I will see what I can whip up but I never had enough time for what I really want to make tbh.

 

[DeViAnThans3]

I guess I saw this contest far too late
well, however I'll participate in next competition, as I don't have enough time anymore to get it done within such short time

 

[Hitch]

Reminder,

The Extension ends tomorrow.
Gets your scripts in today/tomorrow. :tu:

 

[RJ]

Last chance to enter!

We'll allow entries until May 1st 11:59 PM.

 

[Alex.]

Deadline was six days ago, any further updates on when we get to vote etc.?

 

[Hitch]

There was only one Entry.

I won by default. :D (Good because i win, but not so good because i didn't really come first), lol, no badges or prizes i presume.

It was kinda disappointing to see nobody else entered.

Though, thanks to those that atleast started! :tu:
