Ryan, et al -- ..and then Ryan A said... % % Hey David, Hiya! % % Good enough. Lots of bells and whistles; that's great. % #/ % % Yep, without the bells and whistles no challenge for me to program and it % will be like any other site... Heh. % and since i still dont really consider myself a good programmer in php, % still learning, this gives me a chance to work more and learn as i go along. Always a good thing :-) % % % /# % % save their favourite packages from the differient hosts and even compare % the % Excellent! % /# % Thats only the half of it, will send you the link once i get a few hosts to % list their packages coz now there arnt enough test packages for you to Tell me what you mean by hosts and packages. If by 'host' you mean the provider, I have real experience with DataPipe, Interland, and CIHost to throw in the pot. % actually see most of the functionality. I made this after thinking of the % trouble i went thru to find some decient hosts, I think i went thru around 9 % hosts in the last 2 years before kind of settling down..... I looooooove my datapipe :-) % % I guess hosts are like women, you think you finally found "the one" but...... % + they are all GREAT when you start with them but.... % :-D *snort* % % (Ladies am just kidding, dont curse me) Am I guilty just by association? :-) % % /# % % Nope, its not that you have limited votes, you can vote for each and every % Good. % % host on the site...but just one vote per host, dont you think thats fair? % Nope. What if you have two users on a host? % #/ % % Of course, nearly every host has more than 2 users :-)) at least if they % want to stay in business but i kind of figured that the users would have % seperate client accounts with me (so seperate control panels) to % vote,add/compare packages etc, if i got the question wrong tell me. No, it's probably right... You meant one vote-per-person regarding a particular host==provider. Right? I thought that you were still referring to the IP address. % % service goes down the drain; I should be able to change my vote to % reflect their new status if this is something that people will want to % see as worthwhile for more than just a short survey period. % #/ % % Hmmm, a new bell or whistle i didnt think of, but i think it could be easily *grin* % implempted, instead of giving a message "you ahve already voted for this % host, only one vote allowed" etc I can say " you have already voted for this Yep. % host on <datetime>, would you like to see your old vote or change it?" All you have to do is store all of the vote info pertinent to the user. % Good idea, i think i'll run with it. Happy to help :-) % % % /#Well, if you're going to keep my vote around so that I can change it you % now have to have an entire database record for me. If I'm just throwing % my vote into the pile then you need only keep a running total. The % latter is certainly easier. % #/ % Yep, but the former is more intresting :-). Indeed! % Thats pretty much the whole idea actually, I know i am not the only one in % the world with brilliant ideas (was quite a shock to me when i found out *grin* % -D ) and thats why i wrote to the list...if anybody has an idea of what % they would like to see/have....drop me a few lines. There ya go. % % Thanks for the idea/suggestion. Sure thing! % % Before i forget, dont get confused with my new /# and #/ to your messages, I % just thought i'll change them everytime to give curt a hard time :-)) lets % see him try to keep up with the variations i come up with. *grin* % % Cheers, % -Ryan HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
