php code : validate posted PHP codes

Hello,

I think you should validate all codes posted to the PHP code repositery. A few months ago it was just a code repositery, now it gets messy because some people post scripts & programs (http://codewalkers.com/seecode/341.html) or useless and unsecure PHP code snippet (http://codewalkers.com/seecode/342.html).

If you want to add a scripts & programs gallery to codewalkers, you should create a new section because if the code gallery contains code snippets, scripts & programs... It won't help anyone anymore .

The "Source Veiwer" from cscartman really scared me. It's a good idea to help people to improve the code they post but what if a beginner decides to use that code on its page ?... Hack time

So let us know what you think about the whole code gallery improvement. I think the only solution would be to validate the PHP codes each time some post it. Or at least we should be able to report a unvalid code snippet to an admin. You could also add a new comment to the PHP code archive page : "only post code snippets, scripts & programs are not allowed". The phpFriendlyAdmin "code" is made up by a change log and a link to the project website...

I think it was time to say something as we got the same problem on a french PHP community.

I completely agree with you and plan to take action very soon (read within the next couple of days) to do a bit of revamping to that system. My goal is to only have locally posted code snippets that are useful.

Hi Matt,



Hope you will find a suitable solution. Mine would be to validate each code snippet. I'm not sure it's a good idea to create an other scripts & programs website as long as it's not different from the BIG ones, HotScripts...

Thanks for the quick reply,
JM

Hi Matt,

Sorry to bother you again with the code repositery but... :

I'm not sure people will be able to read my comment as someone posted a junk of HTML. If you could remove it or clean it... That would be great

Thanks,
JM

Removed...thanks!

BTW..I am still on top of the code gallery thing. Just need to find a little time..
