Defininatly get rid of that tiled background, maybe add a border to the car picture to.
I'd say get rid of the flash menu, but I doubt you'd go for that.
You don't NEED one, I don't find it hard to read Apache log files anyway. I wrote my own utilities to do things though.
I've heard mono works great with apache.
I use perl for CGI alot, and also for other things offline too.
I'm reading about mod_perl now, it's a great thing.
I'm actually gonna re-write some of my stuff to use mod_perl too.
Perl is faster and more powerful then PHP.
I'm pretty sure PHP doesn't fork a new process.. but perl is still...
I suggest perl over PHP, it might be slightly harder, but its more powerful, there is ALOT more code and modules out there for perl too. perl is also platform independent, it'll run it pretty much any system out there.
Virtual Hosts.
perl IS NOT php.
Please never make this mistake again, :]
perl is faster, and more powerful, and better... :]
In response to other things..
I have no problem with apache's log files, i manage them fine.
I perfer apache's config files too....
Apache can handle large sites fine, its easy...
As the guy above me said, Java & Flash should NOT be used... even if it is a company's intranet site and all viewers have them.
ASP.NET and C# don't do client side things, they can't do the menus.
I know alot of people who would disagree with you.
Most programmers I know say it's important to learn more then one language.
It's also important to understand the basics of programming, which will help you learn more languages.
Almost everyone I know suggests c > c++.
Learning another...
If I were doing this, I'd just go ahead and replace that with two regex's...
/cat=(\d+)/
/doc=(\d+)/
and then do what you want with them... I'd think this would be faster then a long complicated regex too. And im pretty sure itd work on any situation.
$self is a reference, you need ->
$self->{Entries} = \@entries;
or isntead of a refrence to @entries
$self->{Entries} = [];
@{$self->{Entries}} = @entries;
for returning...
return $self->{Entries};
for a refrence..^
or
return @{$self->{Entries}};
access it..
$entry->Name();
i...
I also could tell it was a frontpage site without even viewing source.
And i think its a bad thing. you should really think about ditching frontpage and learning something... its not hard stuff.
From my experiences, vbulletin can handle larger loads better, but phpbb is free, and i always like phpbb's template system more. Didn't modify vB much, so i cant comment on that.
phpbb3 should be out within a month or two.. i imagine thatll be better then vB, but i truly don't know. youll have...
Yes, use code tags, please!
And yes, you *should* use warnings and strict.
you have some useless things in there that i seen. and i dont remember seeing the CGI module used anywhere, even though you have it being used. maybe i missed something. but you definatly need to put that into code...
Well, what i meant was i'd use it for anything i'd actually do.. i dont do hardware programming. i do cgi, parsing, i wrote a webserver in it before. whatever.
Sorry for bringing up an old topic.. but eh i had to respond.
I have tried python, i'd rather kill myself slowly then use it.
I'd choose perl pretty much over anything.
and.. ill use it for anything
writing a forum in it now
when that gets to a decent working version, i might be working on...
That's azactly why I don't browse here much anymore, not enough questions I can help with.
I never see perl questions anymore.
CSS isn't programming either.
and php.. i just hate php.. (and yes i have used it.)
i also suggest phpbb, shoulda said that in my last post..
im actually about to dive into coding my own forum... i actually started earlier today. been planning on it, lets hope i have time to finish it
