Community PHP / News: Recent posts

After a vacation so to speak from programming, I'm back to work. I accomplished a good amount of work over the Christmas break. To keep this post short I'll just list my plan for the future.

-Code the forum
-Clean-up source code
-Test the software on a *nix platform
-Tear scripts apart (Find security holes and fix)
-Release a new version of Community PHP

With that said, let me say another thing. I'm not setting any due dates for any of the abouve things. This partly due to the fact that I never comply with the due dates, and other things could arise that could slow development.
I have become aware of a bug when using PHP under windows. It's a problem with sessions, and it will prevent the user login script form working properly. Until the PHP dev team corrects this problem I suggest not using the software on a windows server.

Earlier this afternoo I released Community PHP 0.0.1. This is a pre-beta relese, and has MANY features missing (or rather not coded yet). This relese is more to show people that I actually am working on this project.
As of 0.0.1 the software has only been tested it's development environment. The specs for that development enviroment is as follows: Apache 1.3.22, MySQL 3.23.43, and PHP 4.0.6. I do not foresee any problems with the software on other platforms, but as I refine the code some more I will enlist beta testers.
The features that are cruently implemented in this version of Community PHP are: News,Articles, User registration, and User login.
The features that are soon to come are: Forum (in the works now), Mailing list, and a fully functional web-based admin system. I am currently working on the forum system. This may take a while, so be patient if you do not see any releses any time soon.

My software project is called Community PHP. When it is
completed (not even God know when) my software will allow
anyone to create an interactive community on their site.
Features will include: User managment, News Posting,
Articles (to write reviews, stories ect.), Forum stsyem,
Web administration, and more feature that I will add as i
go along.

Some people have prought it to my attension that my
software is similar to another piece of software that is
out on the web. My response to that is that while my
software is similar, I am not set out to become the future
of the web. This project has started out as a personal
project for myself, so that i can learn more about PHP.
and improve my skills. I will never charge for my
software, and i will never steal someone elses code so
that my software has the same feature that they have. That
said, site on source forge is so that i can post my
software, and have people send me feed back.... read more
