I'm still not really understanding what I'm trying to match things up against?

I'm making a blog, so I've got a title and text field which can have anything in them.

I've messed with regexes a little. In my last project I wanted to resize youtube videos automatically, so I set it to search for the size properties and rewrite them.

As long as you are the only user, then there shouldn't be a problem. But if OTHER people are allowed to do post stuff there, then it leaves you vulnerable to a sql injection attack. So basically Riseatrance's last paragraph restated. ^_^"

I still want to have certain securities in place because I would like to hire another write (since I think Siris is no longer interested) and can easily and safely use the program without me worrying too much. (Also, in case something does get access to certain pages or some odd something. Archaic DID say to prevent SQL injections, afterall. The alternative is WordPress... o_o;)

I just don't know what the regexe could help look for since I don't want to say not to use some odd symbol or something. I want to enable HTML in the box and since it's a text field for a blog, it wouldn't make sense to refuse certain symbols.

I was thinking of using a str_replace for certain symbols to at least re-write them into the like \r\n or other symbol hex texts.

You know... I keep telling myself "Penna, it's just the backend of the website. No one's going to see it, so just make a nice colored set up like I made for my webby project. A few color codes, slap it together, and that's that...

.......... but of course I can't seem to leave it like that. So I opened up photoshop and what was meant to be a quick "let's slap something together" has resulted in this...



........should I continue or should I scrap and just settle for something a little... less.... stylish.

o_O;; Geez... this isn't a website per se...

I should get back to coding *sigh* I just wanted to take a break today and actually do something without a lot of thinking.

Still, attractive blog layouts aren't necessarily a bad thing. Honestly, it's best just to do what you want and then adapt/make changes based on the resulting output.

I like netbeans and it's what the school taught me on.

I haven't got much to add since Reynard and Trance jumped in, but I would like to request that we not start any IDE wars in here, thanks. ^^'

^_^ Why? It would be entertaining if only because Netbeans is the only one I've ever used. I could learn something from it. Though seriously, I've had no qualms with Netbeans and I know how to work it and it lets me code my own without annoying the hell out of me every two seconds and just offers a friendly tap on the shoulder when I've fucked something up.

I do wish I could find if there was a way to include certain codes the moment I create a new .php page or something. :\ I should explore the application more than I probably have.

Meh, I don't care either way. I refuse to use Dreamweaver and I use an outdated Photoshop. Clearly I've never given a damn about the general consensus. XD

[Riseatrance]

Nah. NetBeans has its advantages, I just generally dislike it for how bloated and how slow it tends to run on my machine.
