just curious, has anyone used it? Any good?

damn ye Jack, ninja'd and better put

but the whole point of a hash is that it can't be decrypted, so once it's hashed there's no way for your server side code to know what the original password was. So all it can do is a straight compare of hashes, so it's no better than sending over a plain text password and storing it plain text on t...

no, what you'll get back is a mysql result set, which can't be read directly from PHP, you have to use a function to read it, it can then be converted to native php data types. You're using mysql_ functions, which are deprecated and likely to be removed in a year or two, destroying your code; you're...

you need to escape the singles in the html line and render the variable outside the string - single quotes aren't put through the parser:

echo '<a href=\'attack.php?creature=' , $creature, '\'>Attack!';

every interview I've done in 2 years (I'm a contractor) has asked me to name design patterns. And everyone seems hot on testing, so you will be wise to be able to talk about phpunit

good luck!

Change the double quotes to single so any hidden characters don't get rendered?

I didn't notice that this thread was app specific :) however I think the point I was replying to was about general code: "I recently saw an online game that I visited have depreciation errors displayed all over and so was unplayable." production code shouldn't be putting error messages out...

I'd go straight to PDO, although talking to someone from the Zend team last week, PHP 7 isn't expected to be useable until 7.1 and crap knows when that's coming out; it certainly won't be 2015. There's no guarantee that they will strip the mysql_ functions even in 7 given how much legacy code that w...

Of course another thing to remember is that depending on your encoding, some characters can take up to 6 chars to store.
