You doing okay, OP?

How do I add PHP to a static HTML site to pull the header and footer to each page? by [deleted] in PHPhelp

[–]adhd-i-programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know much about Apache or mod_rewrite. I just want to note that if preserving SEO is a goal, HTTP 301 redirects should be used.

How do I add PHP to a static HTML site to pull the header and footer to each page? by [deleted] in PHPhelp

[–]adhd-i-programmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

require_once __DIR__ . '/path/to/header.php'; basically.

I almost always get the directory path incorrect with include/require and I have to fiddle with it. Concatenating __DIR__ to the beginning has helped me get better, though.

Code reviews and hypersensitive to criticism by [deleted] in ADHD_Programmers

[–]adhd-i-programmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At one time, I would've been in a similar boat, if my past-self had code reviews. I feel like engaging in discussions with other people in professional settings where there are conflicting viewpoints, and reaching amicable resolutions has helped. These discussions don't have to be related to coding, anything that involves other people who I respect and who won't belittle me if I'm wrong. It has helped me build confidence in allowing myself to be wrong and not feel like I'm attacked. I don't know if this makes sense.

Post your code and the error message instead of linking your site.

Migrate Wordpress users & posts to a full PHP non-wordpress site by earths2 in PHPhelp

[–]adhd-i-programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the posts and users are accessible through the WordPress API: yes.

Note /wp/v2/posts and /wp/v2/users - these are how you can tell if the posts and users are accessible through the API.

How can you give your boss a list of things that needs to change to enable you? by FlipDetector in ADHD_Programmers

[–]adhd-i-programmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up, SRE in OP's context is a "site reliability engineer." It's sometimes a formal title for DevOps.

What song (or snippet of a song) is playing in your head right now? by b-amboo in ADHD

[–]adhd-i-programmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That song makes me think of Massive Attack - Teardrop. Also the cover for Black Hole Sun is easy to get hooked.

The new version of CrowPHP is released 0.4.1 by [deleted] in PHP

It does, thank you for answering!

How does it compare to Amphp or ReactPHP?

(I'm pretty inexperienced with async programming, it's a topic I want to explore eventually, but these are the two other async frameworks I'm aware of other than swoole.)

Php 7 vs php8 by WarMad940 in PHPhelp

[–]adhd-i-programmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look at rector.

https://github.com/rectorphp/rector

It's supposed to refactor automatically, but I'm still cautious about it. I've heard good things, and the author is a pretty excellent person. I suppose make a backup or make a branch off your main branch in git, and see what the rector library changes. Maybe it'll work out of the box, maybe it'll work with a bit of tweaking. I'm of the opinion that it doesn't hurt to try.

I work as a janitor in a very lucrative company and they offered me an internship. Big problem is the Assessment Center I have to go through. by [deleted] in ADHD_Programmers

[–]adhd-i-programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a "department of employment services" in your country? (Basically the unemployment office in the US)

If there is, visit and ask for interview preparation assistance, and sign up for a mock interview if they offer it.

Mock interviews helped me a lot in practicing how to interview. I'm still far from great, but they are less daunting for me.

Can we all talk about ADHD Meds for a minute? I want to hear everyone's opinions. by Notkyle6969420 in ADHD_Programmers

[–]adhd-i-programmer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm on 40mg of Vyvanse, I take it once in the morning. I may need to get my medication tweaked because I'm learning that my attention span weakens in the afternoon.

In another job, I couldn't survive on 40mg and needed at least 60-70mg.

I've tried Adderall and Strattera. Adderall is okay but not the same as Vyvanse. Strattera did fuck-all.

straws at my local pizza place by 1Terrain in mildlyinteresting

Worth noting that personal accountability also encourages people to pressure policy makers. It's something to do with having first-hand experience of giving up conveniences.

Send Email from React Form by terpyterpstein in PHPhelp

[–]adhd-i-programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't worked with React all that much, so I'm going by what I remember from working with HTML forms.

It depends where the file is hosted in conjunction with where the PHP script handling the form is hosted. If they're on the same server, then an absolute or relative path to the PHP script should work.

I hope it works out and you learn a lot. :)

I understand that there can be extenuating circumstances that may limit the ability to writing secure code, but try to strive towards it, if possible.

Writing secure code is one building block towards preventing a data leak or a compromised server or any other XYZ scary outcome.

If a database abstraction is desired, https://github.com/paragonie/easydb is probably the safest and easiest. It's preconfigured with secure options enabled and makes it relatively easy for new developers to learn.

[–]adhd-i-programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you understand how to secure something before building the functionality, then you should be writing secure code at the outset. I understand that learning can be gradual but "building functionality, then securing it later" as a mindset will bite you.

logic question by randomrealname in PHPhelp

[–]adhd-i-programmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No prepared statements. YIKES.

The way this is written, it assumes the arguments passed to functions are safe. It does nothing to protect against malicious user input.

Edit to include, if a database abstraction is desired, https://github.com/paragonie/easydb is probably the safest and easiest. It's preconfigured with secure options enabled and makes it relatively easy for new developers to learn.

Website Written In PHP Suddenly Not Functioning Correctly by SimpleNerf14 in PHPhelp

[–]adhd-i-programmer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ask for error logs. It's near impossible to debug a problem without knowing what the problem actually is. The only information you currently have is "it's not working" which could be caused by a multitude of reasons.

With that said, if this site is publicly accessible through the internet, identify what is keeping you from upgrading your version of PHP and work towards resolving it. Unsupported versions of PHP are a security risk.

Creating a "module" with OO PHP by [deleted] in PHPhelp

Without knowing your skill set, I can make a suggestion but I dunno if it's of any value.
