I am very interested in creating some PHP-based simple text/image games, like hangman, guessing games, “higher or lower”, that sort of thing. Unfortunately, resources seem few and far between to get me started on the right track. I’m sure I could sit down and eventually drill something out but it’d save me a lot of […]

If you’re running BellaBiblio and need the PHP5 Amazon patch for the Ajax functionality, it is now available for download.
Cutenews is Shite
I’ve added a short note about Cutenews on my Unsafe PHP Scripts page.
BellaBiblio Amazon Ajax Bug
There’s a problem with the Ajax book finder in the current version of BellaBiblio, caused by an update on Amazon’s side of things. There is a patch which was sent over to me by Mat earlier today for those running PHP5 only, but because I’m “mid-report” for my course I’ve not had time to give […]
Chyrp: Lightweight Blogging Engine

In this guide we’ll learn about two more constructs: foreach() and array() foreach Construct foreach — a type of loop, but we’ll cover that more in the future — […]
Block Spam with a Scoring System
One of the most effective spam blocking techniques I used in my custom CMS was a scoring system. The idea is that the more spammy someone is, the higher the score they are given. After a certain cut-off point whereby a person or spam-bot has a score than our pre-set threshold, their comment or correspondence […]
NinjaLinks Update
I made some empty promises about my latest script, NinjaLinks, possibly being ready by the end of March. Obviously as it’s now a couple of hours from April that didn’t happen. I do have excuses reasons for this though… NinjaLinks is supposed to be my secure replacement for SimpleDir. It’s needed, the old script is […]
