Me, send you link to a site I have done. I dey mad? When did Super Eagles start plyaing ball with Super Falcons?

Instead of wasting people's time creating half-baked web designers, why don't you spend that time keeping yourself in the oven so you are fully baked. Just a suggestion. Next time don't come here to make noise you cannot back up.

What the hell do you mean you checked the site yourself? Its your freaking site, don't play kid games on us we have been here since 2006. What freaking sentiments? Don't take this personal but you have a lot to learn in web design so quit this publicity stunt and go back to the drawing board. Learn HTML, CSS and do yourself some good by hiring a graphic designer. Your "revamped" site needs a revamp.

ProgrammingRe: Let's Learn Object Oriented PHP! by DualCore1: 7:29pm On Apr 04, 2012
Weldone guys. OOP is the way forward. I personally do not like to change what isn't broken if I do not think the change will improve things. I over time, had written a lot of functions into a file and all I needed to do was include that file and my turnaround time is cut short in any project so I didn't see a real need for OOP but went on to learn it and use it. OOP even made me work faster. Everyone should try it.
FamilyRe: I Caught My Husband Cheating On Me by DualCore1: 7:01pm On Apr 04, 2012
Sorry OP. He's not your BF so you can't be thinking of leaving him... you preggy for him too.

Try to work things out, things won't come back to normal overnight so take things easy and as they come. Don't bother yourself much about what happened in that room because it really wouldn't help.

You should call him to the table and give him a chance to explain. He's your best friend so you should know when he's lying. Assure him you'll appreciate the truth from him however bad it is and please keep to that assurance. If he opens up to you that he actually is cheating on you... don't flare up... talk to him about the need for both of you to seek help from your church, your elders or wherever you two know you can get help from.

He's human and if things are what they seem like, it doesn't make him any less an imperfect human. Some of the married men who have posted on this thread do same, only they haven't been caught yet. Na who dem catch be thief and thief wey dem never catch go follow shout "thief thief".
Nairaland GeneralThe State Of Nairaland by DualCore1(op): 6:42pm On Apr 04, 2012
A friend just ask me now "Is Nairaland Still As Fascinating As It Was When It First Started?".
My reply included: "if it was a company it would be filing for bankruptcy or acquisition".

So, I have seen a couple of threads where Nairaland is being compared to Facebook.
There are some similarities; Both sites were started as pet projects. . . only that one owner knew when to let the pet out of the cage.
Both projects were started with the aim of bringing people together.
Both projects were started up by young guys. . . one turned a billionaire, the other a Google "adsensaire" (for lack of a better word).
Both projects may have started up vision-less. . . only that one owner had far-sight and created a vision.

Facebook is already talking stocks, Nairaland... tribal locks.

If there is FBML I don't see why there shouldn't have been NLML by now. cool

Its clear this great forum has lost great value and I really don't see light at the end of the NairaTunnel if things continue the way they are.

Let's give this guy some clues. He needs help but may not be able to ask...we understand the ego.

So Nairalanders, if you owned the Nairaland forum: What would you have done with it when it still had more value? Then, now its in the mud what would you do to bring it out?

Ideas, people... let's light our NairaBulbs

No bashing the Admin or anyone please. Just ideas.

doncigalo: @dualcore How can a physically located dedicated server be more reliable than a cloud based one?? Thats not possible. I dont think your ever had the chance to use a cloud based server, cuz if you have, you would know the amount of redundancies that are implemented. Im talking about master-slave/master-master configurations in conjunction with a backup database that is based in another location (the backup process is even done via satellite), Im talking about standby generators (2 not even 1), Im talking about underground bunkers. Lets not forget the number of technicians, both database and network , that are looking after these systems 24/7/365 and even the security personnel as well.

So how can a cloud based server be more reliable than a physically located server ?? Its not just possible.

To prove the point; why didnt Safaricom, the company behind the MPESA platform (largest mobile payment platform),go for a local dedicated server ? They have the technical and financial capability being a major telco company in sub Saharan Africa, instead they hosted the application on a cloud based servers being hosted by a British company called Rackspace. This is a financial application that demands 99.9% availability.
There are a gazzilion Cloud Vs. Dedi papers out there, grab one.
I have things in the cloud and on the ground and I speak for my self and know what I am talking about regarding what's in the cloud and what's on the ground.
People get swayed by the gimmicks thrown to them by the web hosting industry. I see beyond those gimmicks and tell it as it is. You really haven't seen stuff gotten lost in the cloud so you really won't appreciate staying on the ground.

My views.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule index\.htm index.php [NC,R]
Is there any reason why you escaped the . literal on the left hand side and didnt escape it on the right?
I used to think it was mandatory to escape literals in regular expression (just like in PHP) but it doesn't seem mandatory in this. Infact I was thinking escaping literals in this case won't work.

dayhawk: @dualcore you are the only person to give a good answer because you sound like you understand the complexity behind complex systems. surely your data server architecture determines how master servers interact with slaves especially if you are restricted to a resource.
these days people tend to cling to "is a" and "part of" rather than top-down or data driven( method of programming)
this is because the former which mean 'class' and the lather which means 'object' reduces the complexity and hence organizes the hierarchy. these systems are canonical, the server architecture must not be superb but the code is...

this is why sites like google, facebook, twitter etc is still leading today. they experience no downtime because they create scripts that organize there resources before use and point them to a unique output sources, !! with no down time

what seun want exactly is simply: a code,a complex system method,a design.
with PHP this can be achieved easily.

1. create 15 similar db's on different servers and upload the same content
2. on the 15 servers upload 1 for each the jamb script default.php( this means that the should be 15 scripts in 15 servers
3. 15 domains or subdomains. any/
3 create an base server.(this is your 11th server and your main server...
now in your main server upload, index.php, inside jamb.org.ng/unifiedtme/
depending on what your .htaccess defines as your index,


inside index.php
------------------------------------
<?php
$a=rand(1,15);// rand number from 1 to 15
$b="http://www.jamb".$a."."."org.ng";//creates http://jambX.org.ng, where x is a random number btwn 1-15
$c=$b."/unifiedtme/default.php";// makes http://jambx.org.ng/unifiedtme/default.php

header('location:'.echo($c).''); // automatically redirects the person to a random server out of the 15 jamb servers


?>



in the default.php
simply setup your html form
<form action="process.php" method="post" name="jambresult">
<input type="text" name"jambinput" /><hr />
<h3>enter your reg num/SN/PIN</h3>
<a href="javascript:#" onclick="jambstart()" />
</form>

<div style="position:absoulute; top:40%; left:40%;height:auto; width:auto; z-index:100; visibility:hidden" id="divload">
<img src="processing.gif" />
</div> <!-- this animated image which writes processing, displays for 10 seconds before the jamb form is submitted -->

<script>
jambstart()
{
setTimeout('jambwait()',10000)
var x=document.getElementById('divload')
x.style.visibility="visible";
//
}
jambwait()
{
document.jambresult.submit()
}

<!-- this 10 seconds implement helps because the -->

</script>



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


now process.php

<?php
ini_set('max_execution_time',30); //means this script executed over 30seconds then it times out
ini_set('memory_limit',90500M); //increases the ram
include('config.php'); //dont use persistent connection
incude('check_class.php');
?>
<?php

$jin=mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes(striptags($_POST['jambinput'])));
$check=new result($jin) // sends data to the class 'result' ;
$check->good_e();

if($check)
{
}
?>


---------check_class.php--------------------------

<?php
class result
{
function __construct($in) //takes data from
{
$this->in=$in;
$this->update=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM userresult WHERE regnum='$in' OR sn='$in' OR pin='$in'"wink;
}

function good_e()
{
return $this->in;
if(mysql_num_rows($this->update) < 1)
{
echo "<script>alert('WRONG SN/PIN/REGNUM!')</script>"
}
else
{
setcookie("dog",$this->in,time()+2000); //sets cookie up after verification
header('location:result.php'); //r
}

}

?>


--------result.php------------

<?php


ini_set('max_execution_time',40); //means this script executed over 30seconds then it times out
ini_set('memory_limit',9050M); //increases the ram
include('config.php');
$bin=$_COOKIE['dog'];
$binx=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM userresult WHERE regnum='$in' OR sn='$in' OR pin='$in'"wink
sleep(10) // sleeps delays the person for 10 more seconds so that so many other people can aswell access the script without overload
$data=mysql_fetch_array($binx);

echo($data['subject1']);
echo($data['subject2']);
echo($data['subject3']);
echo($data['subject4']);
echo($data['regnum']);
echo($data['name']);
echo($data['examnum']);

mysql_close();
?>


------NOTE AS I SAID ALL THESE SCRIPT MUST BE ON EVERY SERVER EXCEPT THE MAIN SERVER and ALL THE SERVERS MUST
BE PHP 5.6 ENABLED AND MUST HAVE DATABASES ALL WITH IDENTICAL STRUCTURES AND DATA.

thanks

I appreciate the time you have spent writing this and I like your logic. This may not work for very huge websites but it should work for JAMB. The only point of failure I see is if the servers are not much so the range given to rand() is so small it will almost always hit same number for a couple of connections.

Taking this to the clouds may be risky because the clouds will never (as of my writing) beat a physically located dedicated server when it comes to reliability and availability.


Seun: the entire debate is pointless, so I will need the debate to end right now.
It is not pointless, you just don't see the point and that's understandable.

ProgrammingRe: Build A JAMB Result Checking Website To Win 150,000 Naira by DualCore1:
Good idea. But I really don't see the point of most of the "offers" listed on Nairaland by the admin as they are narrowed down to only languages he can understand and the other languages out of his understanding are shelled out. Sadly the language (Python) this project is narrowed to is relatively off the present web development market.

Just a tip: This project is highly impossible if you are not ready to spend millions of Naira for hardware to run it on. I am not talking about the scripting. I am talking about servers. Or is it intended to be tested on a dedicated server? How will you the true strength of the script?

Good idea all the same, wishing you guys the best.
============
That said, JAMB does not need a new script/site.

The JAMB website presently needs a set of database servers, at least 2 load balancing servers and 3 to 4 web servers.

There are lots of technologies out there to monitor load balancing servers and make sure at least one is always running.

JAMB's problem is not functionality, its scalability.

So while this is a good project, I don't see JAMB buying the idea easily. They would rather pump money into hardware with raw power and still maintain their site with a few database connection optimisation if necessary.

If at gunpoint I am faced with the following 2 options to choose just one:
a) Put the best optimized script on a crappy server arhitechture
b) Put the worst optimized script on the best server architecture

I will gladly choose option B.

My opinion.

WebmastersRe: Noobs Php Questions by DualCore1: 9:12am On Mar 31, 2012
I have re-written a .httaccess rule and have tested it.

test link: http://www.sawyerrken.net/tada.aspx

It links up to http://www.sawyerrken.net/tada.php


.httaccess rule
==================
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .py

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+).aspx$ $1.php
==================

I will explain the regular expression in the last line:
^ = the beginning of the line

([a-zA-Z0-9]+) = This groups an optional range of characters a-z, A-Z and 0-9. This will match tada.aspx, dual.aspx but will not match tada_dual.aspx. The + sign means it can take 1 or more of any of the preceding characters.

$ = signifies the end of the line on the left hand side.

$1 = this stands for a variable that I created in the left hand side. The variable is anything that matches into ([a-zA-Z0-9]+). If I had a second variable like that on the left hand side then i will use $2 to refer to it. You can go on like that $3, $4 tillll $9.

Read up on regular expressions. They are a pain to learn and most of us ignore it but its really fun to learn and use, as it saves me some validation time.
