personally I'd run in the other direction based on that description,
I mean who decides what's simple, how long something should take, etc.
my experience of working on 'existing systems' is usually akin to wading
neckdeep through crap you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. really well
thought out, well written code usually has competent people working on it
already ... code that stinks generally gets no attention because nobody
wants to work on/with it which is people end up scouring the net looking
for someone desperate enough to take a shot at it.

Im sure there is an indian outsourcing solution to fit your needs, your from
the UK and quoting dollars ... your low-end is just over 5 pound sterling an
hour,
I can flip burgers at Macdonalds for more.
there are plenty of market places on the net where tenders can be placed for
this
kind of thing.
just so you know ... at lot of the regular people doling out free advice on
this
list command somewhere in the region of 8 to 10 times what your willing to
pay ...

Andy deserves to know his current offer is kinda insulting :D
Consider plz that if a job is easy, i'd be done sooner. So i'd make even
less..
The offer really only is fair to a noob php-er ;-)
So you might get a 15 year old to do it, if its an easy of a job with a
technical director giving him coding guidelines..
They might be happy with the $15/h.
A talented 17 year old would want $20 at least, or he aint talented :)
If you plan to do many of these type of tasks, and will do them for
years to come, it might be cheaper to have a $50/h programmer take a
look at building something re-usable, with an interface for non-techies
to describe your forms and databases.
With something re-usable, if properly written and self-documented, you
have a more solid base for your business operations, and can distribute
improvements to all your clients when they become available.
I've gotta add that there might be many hours involved depending on the
complexity of the data and ways of displaying it. I guess you could
start with the types of operations that happen a lot, grouped by similarity.
Give us a few examples and i can tell you if it's possible to create
something re-usable in a short time..

I'm 16 years old and have a steady income for the last 3 month as PHP
developer company in Israel which pays me almost doubled then your high rate
(if you convert it from Israeli Shequl to $). I wouldn't work for less than
20$ per hour - that's for sure.
I don't think your will find a good programmer outside India in those rates.
Although on the other hand I know teenagers in Israel who would like to take
this project ;)
Wishing you luck in the journey after your desired 15$ programmer,
Nitsan

I agree with Bastien here. If you can't trust your authorized users
then don't authorize them to delete entries. I would also recommend
some kind of access control to lower the risk of a complete data loss.
Use HTTPS to prevent man in the middle attacks.

That is a bit overkill going https for everything. If you just make
ajax requests behave the same way as a normal direct hit, you'll be
fine. One of the problems with ajax stuff is that sometimes we forget
to validate each request validating the user making the request and
the action they're performing. It's quite easy to just assume the
request hasn't been changed at all since it is buried behind code.
Everyone's guilty of this at one point or another. Just look at this
google docs example. [1]
I'd recommend reading up on the concepts of authentication and
authorization. Authentication just makes sure you're logged in.
Authorization makes sure you can perform a specific action. Once you
have that you'll be able to answer the original question.
Of course you can also go into other types of things like creating
signatures for each request and tokens (which should be done), but
start at the beginning and work at it. I'd also recommend installing
something like httplive headers or firebug just to get an idea of what
is going over the wire. It might make things more obvious.

callbacks run from the global scope so whatever is called must be available
i.e. public in the case of methods. so your not doing anything wrong.
if the methods are not static you might consider making the ctor of the
'callback class' private so that only the class itself can create an instance
of itself ... which it then does when creating the callback definitions that
it passes to the class using the callbacks ... so the second class then has
an object on which it can call the relevant functions but no other code
is able to create an instance of the callback class and thereby screw with the
functions designed only to be used in the callback situation.
but that's all probably overkill ... make them public, document their usage,
done.

OP = original poster (in this case I guess)
http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/OP
So it's all about making code readable and probably easier to maintain
(even people unfamiliar with the script).
Doesn't that render the ternary operator IF-statement unnecessary?
Have I been totally wrong using it in countless scripts of mine
(always thought it's a neat way to do if )?
Somebody please tell me that I do not have to rewrite my code base
now, since I care about security.
Btw. PHP's ternary inconsistency here ..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%3F:#Inconsistency_of_implementations
And how about this ..
switch(isset($_GET['search'])) {
case true:
$search = $_GET['search'];
break 1;
default:
$search = '';
}

seems to me the point being illustrates is not at all objective in it's
premise. I find the the ternary syntax easier to read/grok than the 3 liner.
in both cases you need to understand the 'if' context to see when the
variable is tainted.
all that can be said is that one way is more obvious that the other to *Chris*,
which doesn't do anybody but Chris much good ... obviously it's a rather silly
point ... the useful parts of Chris' work revolve around where he explains
*how* to validate/cleanse the tainted value ... extracting the goodness is a
matter of evaluating and possibly disregarding statements/information which are
secondary and/or irrelevant.

You do not have to rewrite your code because you use ternary
operators! Nobody said that.
Again, Chris was not saying that it was the use of the operator that
was a security issue, but rather its use could obscure the fact that
the operator, as in the case he provided, could produce a tainted
variable.
Perhaps I've confused what Chris tried to say -- so, I suggest that
everyone who is interested in arguing this point further buy Chris'
book and read it for themselves.

Hmmm, I'm not so sure. I think it's a php.ini problem where
register_globals=on is required to make the code work.

Hi, Guys: Sorry about bothering everyone about this problem. It seems strange
that now I try to create some arguments after what I tried to execute, it does
not give me a thing.
I get no error messages. No output file, and only a blank screen when I put
the following snippet into the PHP file.
$a= shell_exec("./test.exe -m$market -d$length");
echo $a;
What is odd is, I tired doing this by using a dos command prompt, it works
entirely. Could anyone please give me a hint on what problem I am having now?
Thanks for the heads up.

Hi Alice
First, make sure about the value on $market and $length. Yeah, it's simple.
echo $market;
echo $length;
$a= shell_exec("./test.exe -m$market -d$length");
echo $a;
Second: "http://www.chipmunkninja.com/Program-Execution-in-PHP:-exec-m@@";
A good explanation to use external commands (thanks chip!)
Third: give us more information: PHP version, OS. Maybe this time can be
useless, but important for future questions.
(sorry about my poor english)

Hi,
in my web application (as quite all web applications) i have a lot of
tables. I mean by table the <table> tag with for sure some data displayed in
it from SQL requests.
To not have to write the whole code every time i was thinking to make a
class that :
- will manage the whole design (color, images, width, height of cells,...)
- will manage the paging (to limit the data transfer from DB server to
client browser)
- will manage the sorting and search (classic and advanced) of data based on
some online built query (user should be able to do something like field1 =
value 1 OR field 1 = value2 AND field4 = "a")
therefore i would like to know if to encapsulate everything in PHP classes
(integrating javascript and css) will be the best approach or not ?
because i would like to keep it as simple as possible in order to
redistribute later this package.
or should i mix javascript "classes" and PHP classes ?
thx.

I'd suggest two classes; one(php) which controls the data and outputting
it as a table, the other (clientside) which controls the display of the
table. Everything directly relating to CSS should be in CSS with an
optional 3rd php class/app for generating or controlling the css.
Maybe something like YUI Tables would help you in your quest.
(dare I say it (as always) - Flex 3 is great for this kind of thing..)

Until recently, I've thought that display_errors in DEV was "good"
But as soon as you move into Ajax Web 2.0 world, it really doesn't cut it.
You'll never see the E_NOTICE and E_WARNING errors for Ajax, probably, and the
whole thing might "just work" but you'll have plenty of buggy code.
I think it's time for the PHP team to recommend log_errors across the board.
What do you think?

Have a simple switch for ajax requests so errors to go into a file... or
send the errors along as part of the ajax request and have the ajax code
popup a warning that is readable. Or whatever :)
Cheers,
Rob.

This has bit me in the bum several times. What I do though is put a
try catch around my json response parsing and if something goes wrong
then I show some error to the user. Then with firebug I can see the
raw php error. So I guess I don't care either way since I'm covered.

Report via Javascript exceptions. If you're debugging with your browser
(i.e., Web Developer plug-in for Firefox, or even the plain, built-in
debuggers will do) you should be able to view the exception's message
and maybe even a stack trace if you set it up right.
