How do I...?

[Mephistopheles]

How much functionality does the php editor have?

For instance can I input the code for a calculator of some kind...

 

[Brogan]

Which php editor?

The only way to have a calculator function on the site would be by uploading some code to the server and/or embedding one into a page.

 

[Mephistopheles]

If you click on the curly brackets next to the quote button on the tool bar an editor comes up which has a drop down menu which offers general code, HTML and php. I just wondered how much you can do with it...

 

[Brogan]

Oh, that's just for displaying php code, there is no functionality as such.

For example:

function get_array_elems($arrResult, $where="array"){
          while(list($key,$value)=each($arrResult)){
                if (is_array($value)){
                    get_array_elems($value, $where."[$key]");
                }
                else {
                      for ($i=0; $i<count($value);$i++){
                            echo $where."[$key]=".$value."<BR>\n";
                      }
                }
          }
  }
 
  get_array_elems($arrResult);

Blimey. It let's you insert Serverside code. That is way scary!

 

[ExtremeNinja]

Ah. Phew. *Wipes brow*.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Oh okay never mind....

Just kidding

Can I have an animated gif as my avatar ?

Animated avatars require a specific extension to be installed on the server (PECL imagick extension) but I haven't installed it as I find animated avatars hugely annoying.

Sorry.

I'm being a bit thick here but how do you tag someone in a post? Been trying to get by without it but it would be handy.

Thanks!

 

[Bus Stop Chicane]

Hmm why did "@" still appear?

 

[Brogan]

The tagging feature is explained in this thread Bus Stop Chicane

Any possibility of inventing a function where clip the apex closes itself down automaticaly when it see's my boss coming?

 

[the_roadie]

RasputinLives - I'm sure Brogan is working on that - after all he's given up on animated avatars so he must be doing something to fill in his extensive spare time.
Besides, the camera that 'Er Indoors bought me for my birthday does face recognition (apparently) so it shouldn't be much effort to get a videcam on your PC to recognize your boss and minimize your forum and maximise your company intranet, or something equally tedious and worthily work-related.
The only problem I can see is sourcing a videcam that's robust enough not to break when it sees your boss's ugly face.

We could always ban your IP address during working hours....

 

[the_roadie]

you've done it now RasputinLives, he's bring in the big guns. Tin helmet time!!

"Incoming!!!!"

 

[The Pits]

I remember in the olden days, most games came equipped with a boss key. Mind you, they did take about a fortnight to load up...

Please no Mr Brogan its destroying my will to live as it is. Clip The Apex is pretty much what allows me to not go postal on the whole civil service and you wouldn't want that! All those paper pushes no longer pushing paper. oh the humanity! Think of the children! think of our childrens children!

Course I could just check it on my phone instead........
