  1. BigNoZePick(et)s By BigNoZe Dr BigNoZe or:How I Learned to Stop Worryingand Love the SYD-PHPUG

  2. BigNoZe is / I am • An ImPHPostor – ie. I have never been employed to write PHP • I work alone ...... • BUT I am not a SPHPY – I attend PHP-UG cause I expect to mentor/work in a PHP project one day • And I have written some PHP systems – one of which started during the Great War of 1997

  3. The Super League War • 1997 Super League goes to war – and VP Porker says “It's too much to try and run the tipping comp this year with pen and paper! Two draws – all sorts of teams and dates??”

  4. The BigNoZe Team steps up to the plate • We designed and wrote a Nix based Footy Tipping system in Dataflex

  7. For fun and education we rewrote the system in • VB6 – using Distributed COM for the office • ASP – for the web when people left the office • PHP – for when we realised ASP (and Windoze in general) sucked and Linux rules.

  8. The original PHP BigNoZePicks • Was pretty awful because it was basically ASP with a '$' sign prepended to the variable names • There were no functions – no separation of HTML from code etc etc etc. • There were some include files for screen drawing etc. • I abstracted out a few lines of code and wrote some functions but essentially thought ”I should rewrite this one day – 2000? Last used 2002 Soccer World Cup”

  9. >> to 2008 Australia Day – Social Cricket Match • Tikal

  10. What are those guys doing? • I ask “What are those guys doing?” • VP says “They're scoring” • I say “Where's the laptop” • He says “I think it's all done on paper” • I go “Really? Why?” • Everyone just looks at me like I am stupid. They say nothing. Boy did I feel stupid!

  11. BigNoZePick(et)s is Born • So I determined then and there that no Australian cricketer need live without a wagonwheel by 2010 • I also determine this is a chance to pull together all the bits and pieces I have gleaned from the SYD PHP-UG over all those years. • A new, clean project! A living document ? An education resource?

  12. My Education/Honour Role • There's a copy of the code here • www.bignozepicks.com Downloads • I started with ADO-DB – I ditched it for PDO thankyou Kevin – see • /includes/dbsetup.inc.php • /includes/competition.oop.php • /includes/tipster.oop.php

  13. SPL - Iterators • Calls to the file system thankyou Kevin – SPL/Directory Iterator • /includes/listdir.inc.php

  14. Internationalisation • Remember the Milk presentation recommended to plan for Internationalisation and Scalability no matter what the project • Smarty templates provides a simple international option – come on PHP6? • See /smarty.tpl/configs/*.conf • PHP handles time zones – but I think I do this at the user experience with a chunk of Javascript.

  15. Emails and PDF • Thankyou to Brent who presented • phpMailer • FPDF • see selections.php for both of these

  16. Security • The GeekGuys presentation – I tried to remember the simple stuff • Fingerprint Session variables • see /includes/config.php and logout.php • Be wary of filename extensions • Use a honey pot to stop robot logins/posting • see index.php and form_token • Hoover all $_POST /whatever variables • see /includes/hoover.oop.inc • Encrypt passwords

  17. Smarty Templates • I had already been using them a bit but Geoffs presentation gave me some extra insights. Not for everyone apparently. BigNoZePick(et)s is Smarty gone a bit crazy. • start at /smarty.tpl/templates/main.classic.tpl

  18. Documentation • Thankyou Dean and TimphpDocumentor • I used this to create both the PHP documentation and the HELP screens via the DocBook format

  19. Other Bits and Pieces • I use phpThumb to handle images http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/ • I use a backup routine from http://www.oldguy.us/ • I currently support MySQL and SQLite thanks to PDO. • Demo databases are generated from live data via masking User information see backuppicks.php

  20. Project Stuff • Code repository is Subversion - thankyou Rich • Project Tracking Management is Trac – thankyou Rich

  21. Outstanding ? • Session handling via MySQL - James • PHPUnit for regression testing – thankyou Sebastian • Phar(JAR) release with SQLite – thankyou Tim. • Move code repository to Bazaar – thankyou James • Finish and hand off the project to Google or Yahoo – watch for the BigNoZePick(et)s media kit next PHP meeting – thankyou Steve

  22. Quick Demo? Fin!Any Questions?
