@Zarek

CREATE TABLE `links` ( `link_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `url` varchar(300) NOT NULL, `title` varchar(1000) NOT NULL, `votes` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `date_posted` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, PRIMARY KEY (`link_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB

Go wild.

Can you please upload the SQL query used to create the table for this? I am trying to set it up at http://zarek2.co.cc/lollit/ but I need the SQL query to set up the database. Thanks

@anon

1) probably. i didn’t really read them that well, i haven’t coded any lisp since college.
2) who cares? it’s one page, and the connection closes when the script ends (that’s how php works).
3) actually, not. hundreds of people tried, nothing actually happened.
4) actually, not. everything is escaped properly. see the documentation on htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities().
5) actually not. everything is properly sanitized.

wow, talk about fail. Let’s count, shall we:
1) Didn’t reproduce all of the functionality of the other examples.
2) DB connection is never closed
3) SQL Injection galore
4) Cross site scripting galore
5) HTTP response spliting

way to prove all the negative comments about php devs.

[...] This guy, actually sat down and wrote out a Reddit Clone in PHP, which I thought was amazing — If PHP could do the same as Clojure in only 6 extra lines I would be greatly impressed — However it lacked the almost every feature except rendering links. [...]
