Now, this Project was about planning and building my own Forum from scratch. Was pretty good doing it, its not complete but I handed in the report a few weeks back.

Its over here if you want to check it out:

My Forum

Note that bits are still missing but i hope to get a working and complete build soon. Not sure if I will release it but seeing as i built it, i can provide custom versions of the application.

For a Module at Uni, I was told to develop a Flash Based game. I picked a side scrolling plat-forming game and using loads of example code, i was able to develop this game (in 2 days in fact too haha).

As a beta, there is still quite a few bugs, designs flaws and other stuff.

Flash Game: Beta 0.6.0

Please leave your thoughts or any bugs you find in the comments section. Thank you.

The next few steps are to add some sounds and add more graphics to make it more visually pleasing, but after two days work, I think i done alright so far.

First things first, instead of doing my work for Uni, I started to mess around with the site. So did a little clean up etc etc. Its only a small visible update to you (rest is kinda under the hood) but I added another link option when you upload images which gives you the direct link to the actual image.

I know this will come in handy for myself, hope it does for you too. Been added to all upload methods.

The other thing I like to say is that running this site is not free, I

It was brought to my attention today that registration for a new accounts always failed. I seriously have no idea how long this has been like that and apologise for any inconvenience for anyone who tried to register. Just was a minor thing I had to change which was over looked I guess.

Sorry again.

Also, I know I have not updated this site for aaaages, but Studies come first I guess. If people are still interested in tutorials to be added in the programming side of things and you have questions, please let me know via email at info [at] sumario.co.uk and I will try my best to get an article out for you about your subject area.

Thanks people.

How to Get User's Input

Nice and easy one here. How to get a users input from a form and/or query string.

Say we have this form:

Now, first I have to say, there are two methods of sending and receiving data. One method is sending the data into the query string of the URL. The query string part of the URL is after the ? in this example, http://www.sumario.co.uk/index.php?car=rover.

The other method is sending the data into the memory. Each method is good depending on the situation and data being sent. Sending data into the memory is more secure and allows for more space especially for tasks such as uploading images. Sending data into the query string is limited to the amount of data and can be easily manipulated by 3rd party users etc.
