% Hey David,

Hiya!


% 
% Good enough.  Lots of bells and whistles; that's great.
% #/
% 
% Yep, without the bells and whistles no challenge for me to program and it
% will be like any other site...

Heh.


% and since i still dont really consider myself a good programmer in php,
% still learning, this gives me a chance to work more and learn as i go along.

Always a good thing :-)


% 
% 
% /#
% % save their favourite packages from the differient hosts and even compare
% the
% Excellent!
% /#
% Thats only the half of it, will send you the link once i get a few hosts to
% list their packages coz now there arnt enough test packages for you to

Tell me what you mean by hosts and packages.  If by 'host' you mean the
provider, I have real experience with DataPipe, Interland, and CIHost to
throw in the pot.


% actually see most of the functionality. I made this after thinking of the
% trouble i went thru to find some decient hosts, I think i went thru around 9
% hosts in the last 2 years before kind of settling down.....

I looooooove my datapipe :-)


% 
% I guess hosts are like women, you think you finally found "the one" but.....
% + they are all GREAT when you start with them but....
% :-D

*snort*


% 
% (Ladies am just kidding, dont curse me)

Am I guilty just by association? :-)


% 
% /#
% % Nope, its not that you have limited votes, you can vote for each and every
% Good.
% % host on the site...but just one vote per host, dont you think thats fair?
% Nope.  What if you have two users on a host?
% #/
% 
% Of course, nearly every host has more than 2 users :-)) at least if they
% want to stay in business but i kind of figured that the users would have
% seperate client accounts with me (so seperate control panels) to
% vote,add/compare packages etc, if i got the question wrong tell me.

No, it's probably right...  You meant one vote-per-person regarding a
particular host==provider.  Right?  I thought that you were still
referring to the IP address.


% 
% service goes down the drain; I should be able to change my vote to
% reflect their new status if this is something that people will want to
% see as worthwhile for more than just a short survey period.
% #/
% 
% Hmmm, a new bell or whistle i didnt think of, but i think it could be easily

*grin*


% implempted, instead of giving a message "you ahve already voted for this
% host, only one vote allowed" etc I can say " you have already voted for this

Yep.


% host on <datetime>, would you like to see your old vote or change it?"

All you have to do is store all of the vote info pertinent to the user.


% Good idea, i think i'll run with it.

Happy to help :-)


% 
% 
% /#Well, if you're going to keep my vote around so that I can change it you
% now have to have an entire database record for me.  If I'm just throwing
% my vote into the pile then you need only keep a running total.  The
% latter is certainly easier.
% #/
% Yep, but the former is more intresting :-).

Indeed!


% Thats pretty much the whole idea actually, I know i am not the only one in
% the world with brilliant ideas (was quite a shock to me when i found out

*grin*


% -D  ) and thats why i wrote to the list...if anybody has an idea of what
% they would like to see/have....drop me a few lines.

There ya go.


% 
% Thanks for the idea/suggestion.

Sure thing!


% 
% Before i forget, dont get confused with my new /# and #/ to your messages, I
% just thought i'll change them everytime to give curt a hard time :-)) lets
% see him try to keep up with the variations i come up with.

*grin*


% 
% Cheers,
% -Ryan


HTH & HAND
