Thanks a lot.

Javascript injection should be difficult. I'm pretty sure I used htmlentites() on all inputs which were actually relevant. If you could try to mysql inject a query which would create a new moderator account or something of that caliber, then that would be great (don't delete anything please 😛).

Hey for styling do you just use html and css or do you use php in it aswell?

Could you elaborate a bit? PHP is a server side language and does not determine how a site appears, it just echoes HTML and CSS.

This. No styles are in PHP.

Then why when I try to edit a style in smf it uses php 😛?

Re: My forum software (in progress)

Some forum softwares allow conditional statements in their template editors. an example from phpBB would be:

<!-- if U_ACP -->
<p class='acp'>Welcome Admin!</p>
<!-- ENDIF -->

This is not php, this is just HTML with a few statements like that.

Thats not what I mean here is an example of what I mean -

if (!$settings['show_stats_index'])
echo '
<div id="index_common_stats">
', $txt['members'], ': ', $context['common_stats']['total_members'], ' &nbsp;&#8226;&nbsp; ', $txt['posts_made'], ': ', $context['common_stats']['total_posts'], ' &nbsp;&#8226;&nbsp; ', $txt['topics'], ': ', $context['common_stats']['total_topics'], '
', ($settings['show_latest_member'] ? ' ' . $txt['welcome_member'] . ' <strong>' . $context['common_stats']['latest_member']['link'] . '</strong>' . $txt['newest_member'] : '') , '
</div>';

That is part of a boardindex.php file for a smf theme.

That's not really styling, it's just the php script calling other php/html scripts.

That is a php script which echoes HTML. PHP is not controlling what it looks like, only what the content is. PHP echoes out HTML. It basically does the behind the scenes work before the page is sent to the browser. The only thing visually that PHP can do strictly on its own is echo text with some light formatting like all caps, and line breaks by adding "\n" within an echo statement. Everything that you see on this webpage you are viewing now is 100% HTML, it was not formatted by PHP.

Re: My forum software (in progress)

Pretty interesting software Cosmic. Will you be planning to go main stream with this?

Also, I would buy a copyright soon. you don't want to give out all the boards info and code without a proper copyright 🙂

Re: My forum software (in progress)

Wow, great work so far, Cosmic. O.O I doubt I would ever be a able to do anything like that.

I wish you the best of luck on your software. 😀
