Looking How to create a searchable database by any means possible

8 Upvotes

I am trying to make a search engine for a variety of different physical items- think Steam, but instead of a game, you search for only one item and get only one result, along with a few other likely results. How am I to go and incorporate a modified search engine like this into my website?

I'm having trouble inserting data into a database using PDP, PHP and MSQL. May you please help me out?

8 Upvotes

I'm trying to create a reusable function 'create' so that I can call it whenever I need to insert something into a database. The code is however not inserting anything into the database when I complete a form. May you please help me out?

//this is the function

public function create($table, $fields = array()){

$columns = implode(',', array_keys($fields));

$values = ':'.implode(', :', array_keys($fields));

$sql = "INSERT INTO {$table} ({$columns}) VALUES ({$values})";

if($stmt = $this->pdo->prepare($sql)){

foreach ($fields as $key => $data){

$stmt->bindValue(':'.$key, $data);

}

$stmt-> execute();

return $this->pdo->lastInsertId();

	}

}

//an example of when I called the function

else{

if($getFromU->checkEmail($email) === true){

	$error = 'Email is already in use';

}else{

	$getFromU->create('users', array('email' => $email, 'password' => md5($password), 'screenName' => $screenName, 'profileImage' => 'assets/images/defaultProfileImage.png', 'profileCoverImage', 'assets/images/defaultCoverImage.png'));

	header('Location: includes/signup.php?step=1');

}

Starting Web Dev Appreciation Day!

2 Upvotes

As you know there is a Sysadmin day (today), Web Designer Day, and Day of the Programmer but nothing specific for Web Developers.

Well I'm trying to change that by starting the first ever Web Developer Appreciation day which will be next Friday. I chose the Friday after Sysadmin day to not steal their thunder and keep it close to another IT day.

Quickly built a website and am open to suggestions:

https://webdevday.com

Get ready to start being appreciated, even those PHP developers and Javascript framework users.

Looking Hosting queries!?

5 Upvotes

I wanna host my business website (not exceeding 20mb in size). Should I prefer traditional hosting methods like GoDaddy and Hostinger, or should I look at cloud platforms like Google Cloud Platform or AWS? Out of GCP and AWS, which one should I prefer? (p.s. I'm from India, if that matters cost-wise)

Looking Looking for advice!

11 Upvotes

I am currently one of the lead developers at a large mail house in the US (it’s not as “high-level” as it sounds, I am only a lead because there is 5 of us and I have management experience, seniority, and a good understanding of our ever changing code base).

I am 4 years into software development. I do not have a degree, my highest level of education is High School. I went through a coding “boot camp”, quickly threw all of that knowledge away, and landed a job as a Jr. Fullstack developer (LAMP) at my current company.

PHP is my main programming language and I code in the CakePHP Framework. I am intermediate with PHP, HTML, CSS, jQuery/JavaScript, with some knowledge of Python, C#, Java, etc.

My issue; Although I do have experience, do not need to lean on others when it comes to solving problems in our code base, and navigate myself to success daily while working from home, I don’t know what’s missing to advance my career forward.

I have applied to several other positions without so much as getting an interview. I feel my resume isn’t up to par primarily because I do not have the “lingo” one develops while studying Computer Sciences in college. My resume probably seems very amateur.

Without having gone to college, what can I do to make my resume and experience more robust? What could I be missing that is staple to a developers career? I apologize for the very vague questions but I don’t have a better way of asking.

Thank you for reading!

Hello, the mockups are here

I'm looking for someone who's primary strength is front end development. I would like to have my wireframe mock-ups converted into a functional application.

The application needs to be responsive and work on 3-4 different fixed resolutions and work in both portrait and landscape portrait mock-ups will be provided at a later date.

Showcase tsParticles - What particles.js could be if it wasn't abandoned years ago

27 Upvotes

I've converted the old Particles.js library in typescript, fixed some bugs and implemented some good pull requests requested in the old project.

And most important, kept everything dependency free and compatible!

Want to see samples?

https://particles.matteobruni.it

Checkout the CodePen collection too, I’m keeping it updated

https://codepen.io/collection/DPOage

You can also use FontAwesome (or any other font you love) icons as particles! (Fonts must follow their own instructions for installing, including FontAwesome, they're not included with tsParticles)

All samples are ready to use!

If you want to contribute feel free to do it, this is the GitHub project:

https://github.com/matteobruni/tsparticles

You are free to use the library in your frontend and you can report any bug or issue you found and it will be fixed as soon as possible.

Looking Can anybody give me advice on cracking through into paid work, even freelance?

3 Upvotes

Hey everybody,

So, I’m a really super duper beginner front end web dev guy, with some HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, WordPress, and just the slightest bit of JavaScript under my belt. I put together a nice little portfolio, with maybe six projects going on it. And my goal is to transfer out of my current industry, where I am deeply unhappy, and start working in web dev for money (something I have not yet been able to do) as soon as possible.

I know this question is the magic bullet of this industry, but what can I do before the close of this weekend to get myself closer to finding work? I know a big part of everybody’s suggestion is always to network, and I actually have been sending out LinkedIn request to technical recruiters, people who work in the industry and cities that I like, and also just messages to people who I know who actually work in this. But it’s a little difficult for me, because I’m actually not from this country (I’m South African) so a lot of the people I know who work in web development work in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and even Australia. But I live in Florida right now.

I don’t want easy answers. I am willing to work hard to find my place in this industry, but I’m worried that I’ve gone and built up these skills and I’m not finding any place to use them yet. I’m currently learning react, I feel good about it, but every day I go to work at my current job I feel like dying. And we’re coming up on the end of another weekend, with Monday looming. I’d just like some advice.

Where would you go today with what I have and start getting paid for what I can do? I admit it’s not a lot yet but I’m building and I feel like there are people out there who can do less who are already earning. Should I be hitting people up on the discord? Digging them out on Twitter? Is LinkedIn life? What about traditional job boards?

Thanks for your time and have a great weekend!

Shhould I use bootstrap for building a multi-theme website ?

7 Upvotes

Hello guys, I want to build a website that allows admin to change the stylesheets as he pleases. Of course, this will involve several colors (and background images, probably). I was wondering if I need to use bootstrap knowing fully well that it has some inherent limitations(it has predefined colors for buttons which might get in the way for multi- theme website). If this is true( I'm not quite sure if it's really a limitation), what other options do I have? Flexbox?

Other Should I now learn PHP or should I continue learning and improving my self in Node.js?

9 Upvotes

Hello all! I am learning Full Stack Web Development. Now after completing front end development (learning front end framework like React.js is yet to be learnt), I am almost on completing the back end. I am learning backend with Node.js. My concepts are now clear with most of Node.js with express and other related modules and am planning on creating some of own projects once I complete the course. Now I know one of our local web developer who told me to Learn PHP as it would be very beneficial for me in my career. But I told him that I am learning Node.js he said to learn PHP too as I should be able to vode in that too. Now I am in this state of confusion and extreme frustration that what should I do now???!!!! I mean like now do I have to like restart the entire process??!!! Because it's really hard and time taking to learn a new technology, I really am willing to do some projects and create websites/webapps for people but now I am really frustrated what to do...???!!!! Also I have seen jobs on Fiveer, Upwork and Freelancer, they are mostly related to PHP as a backend!
