Re: [PHP] What's the going rate for making websites ?
Hi Rene,
I am becoming a little bit concerned about some of the
advice you have been getting about setting a rate for
your work. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong
with charging by the hour, but a lot of times one of
two things happen, either you begin to resent your
customer or they begin to resent you.
I have another method for you to consider about
pricing/costing your work. Try basing your fee on
value. If someone wants a one page site then you look
at how long it will take and ask them a few questions
about what they want to get out the page. If the
client believes that the single page would be the most
inportant part of their interaction with their
audience (I'm being intentionally extreme here) then
would you feel right about only charging 50$ for it?
Personally I would be looking at charging 500$ or even
more.
Another thing to think about where figuring out your
rate is what your time is actually worth. A trimmined
down version of how I have determined my rate in the
past is as follows:
My desired salary: 60,000$
Hours to work per year: 2000h
Now start subtrating from hours to determine billable
hours.
Minus:
Vacation time(3 weeks @ 40h/week): 120h
Overhead time(accounting and such 4h/month): 48h
Networking/Marketing time (figure about 1/3 of your
time): 600h
Sick Days(everyone gets sick eventually): 40h
You also have expenses:
Overhead (space to rent, cd or dvds, computers,
hosting, etc): 20,000$
Advertising(brochures, cards, etc): 3000$
Determine sales needed for the year:
Salary + expenses: 83,000$/year
Determine billable hours
(Total hours - Vac time, sick time, etc):
2000h - 120-48-600-40 = 1192h (actual time you can
spend doing what you do)
Rate to charge:
Needed sales/billable hours
83,000$/1192h = 70$/h
Use that number as a base, initially add 20% more time
to your time estimates and find out what the client
is willing to pay and charge them that or a little
more, they will pay you more.
HTH,
David

it's not a problem getting it done while working on

I wouldn't normally advocate such a solution, you're relying on the user to tell you their name, and to tell you it accurately. You are assuming that they can't change document.cookie to userid=somebody_elses_name. That assumption only holds true if the person in question doesn't know how to use a browser.

Then basic a select statement in the results grid with a while loop the returns all the records related to the userID. It's just odd - because in Dreamweaver I build the grid with one table row, place my echo fieldx in each cell, then create a repeat region around the row. The repeat region is the while loop. The behaviour though is different for whatever reason. Using a link with GET (paramter in the URL) it distinguishes each primaryID correctly. Yet with POST no. As Jason just posted, yes it has individual submit buttons, yet they solely return the last record. Are you using one form for the entire page? If you make each row into a form and have the action set to go to the same page for each form then you would only need to add a hidden type input with the primaryID for which you want to search. Pull the value out of the _POST array on the action page and you can build your select with the appropriate where clause. If you are using one form for the entire grid, you will need to add a checkbox or radio button group in order to have the primaryID values sent to the action page.

A work around I've used in the past has been to use a keyed array such as:

Then you can refer to them like:

Every programming language book has several words on this. So, Junkie, what you should do is break down the the componenets into statements. The statements can then be broken down some more...into processes, decisions, etc. Once done you will know what the code is. It's very zen. 1. Admin adds record. 2.

Re: [PHP] OO Question for PHP4

Hi all. As the subject suggests, I am using PHP4 and am having something
going on that I don't think should be.
Presume the following code
class Foo {
function Foo () {
return Bar;
}
}
$foo = new Foo;
echo $foo;
$foo comes out as an object. Does this have to be done in two line like
this?:
class Foo {
function bar () {
return Bar;
}
}
$foo = new Foo;
$bar = $foo-bar;
Or is there a better design approach I should be reminded of or learn?
Thanks in advance!
Constructors always return a reference to the object. A return statement
is disregarded.
Have a look at http://www.php.net/language.oop.constructor in particular

Re: [PHP] [Q] How to setup Dreamweaver so that PHP scripts are executed?

All you need is the server model (PHP MySQL), access (Local/Network), testing server folder (C:\path\to\your\apache\htdocs_folder), and finally the URL prefix (http://localhost/path_to/folder_with_scripts). Then when you preview your pages in a browser, it will run through apache and not as a local/unserved file.

RE: [PHP] Slideshow using PHP
The only way I can think of to create a slide show with PHP, not that you would need to use the PHP engine at all would be to use a meta refresh in/on each page to move to the next slide and possibly provide the user with a button/link they could click on to advance the slides. Your other idea about using Flash might be the way to go as there is already a template if you choose FileNew From Template within Flash, but I'm not sure why you would want to weigh an app like that down with constant communication to the server.

[PHP] Help installing on Fedora 2
Hi Everyone, I'm finally making the switch from Windows to Linux for development and I've run into a problem. I've got Apache, MySql, and PHP (I think, all the files look like there in the right places) installed. However I can only get Apache and MySql up and running, I can't seem to figure out what went wrong with PHP. Has anyone had similar problems or know where I can look for documentation specific to the Fedora flavor of Linux? I've looked/gone through the docs on the PHP and Redhat sites but I must be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [PHP] disguise as static content
Hi Florin, Another trick if you will, to fool search engines would be to use mod_rewrite, provided you are using apache. Check out the documentation on the apache site: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/mod/mod_rewrite.html Hope this helps. Regards, David -Original Message- From: Florin Andrei [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 28, 2004 9:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] disguise as static content My personal website (see signature below) is almost entirely built with PHP, based on a rudimentary templating engine that i wrote. With the exception of a few well-defined sections (pictures gallery, blog, etc.) the most of it is static, i.e. it changes very rarely. Some Web applications (including but not limited to search engines) seem to treat differently the static content proper (true HTML pages) and pseudo-static content generated by dynamic pages (such as PHP pages that change rarely). I would like to continue to use PHP for my website, but somehow fool the Web clients into believing they're seeing true static content. Since the content changes rarely (like once every other month), there is no harm in pretending it's true static content. I suspect there are quite a few things that can be done to achieve that goal: 1. change extensions to .html even though they're PHP files (i know how to trick Apache into doing that) 2. don't send HTTP headers that indicate dynamic content I don't know how to achieve #2. I also don't know if there are other things to care about in order to totally disguise the dynamic nature of the pages. I'm open to suggestions.
