Shoutbox

[dest581]

So, a few years ago I started this little script that would display a random line of text in an image. Think of it as a random quote display. I put it in an image so it would show up in a forum signature.

Further learning about PHP, I decided to make it so others could change the text. This was fairly well accepted, and I got excited. I wanted it better.

The major improvement came when I made it so up to 6 comments could be posted at once, like a shoutbox. It was rather fun, but there were major security holes. Just about any PHP code could be run through it. I had forgotten security!

So, I remade all of the code from scratch. I used mySQL to store comments, and added in multiple layers of security. This is what I show to you today.

Feel free to post

Really nice...
Isn't this similar to SigChat??... from Torch i think..

[Zenax]

Yes SigChat was form Torch. (BTW where is he?)

This is a very nifty script indeed!

Well done!

Thanks guys. I've spent quite some time on this.

[Derek]

Think you can make this public or make me one???

Thanks guys. I've spent quite some time on this.

I have a suggetion for this.

After somebody posts what they want, you should auto-filter out swears and stuff so we dont have to see them at all.

It really isnt that hard:-P

I can't post.

Edit: Nevermind, it went through.

Every once in a while there's a strange error, that never occurred on the previous server it was on.

I'll work on the swear filter in a bit.

Finally, the code will be available when I get it organized. Parts of it are still rather sloppy, and the administrator panel still hasn't been tested.

i want one of these when will it be back up?
