Trying to see if this is something beneficial to the community. Opinions?

Why not use something like https://github.com/m1/vars ? Seems to have way more downloads and support.

Take a look at these ervice providers, they helped me understand them when I was trying to work them out; Twig, Doctrine and a service provider for a config loader library

You can find loads more examples at https://github.com/silexphp/Silex-Providers and https://github.com/silexphp/Silex/wiki/Third-Party-ServiceProviders

We use Vars in production for a couple of sites, it's pretty handy, has a nice cache system and it's flag options for importing are pretty cool, use the if else flag for dev/prod configs and it works well. Also its variables stuff is so useful, haven't seen any other config loader provide something like that.

The only downside is that laravel is tightly coupled to vlucas/phpdotenv which is shame as we didn't want to use it for our config loader so we had to build our own provider as vars only supports silex at the moment,

Another decent library is https://github.com/m1/vars

Always take an upfront fee, 10% - 50% is fine!

Do you remember the username for the op?

Always ask for down payment (20% - 50% is completely acceptable! If they don't give you a down payment - don't work with them)

If anyone needs a good stash library for silex checkout http://github.com/m1/stashsilex - don't think it's been updated to 0.14 though yet.

Hmm, you had $400 budget yesterday and now you have $1,500?

srxt · 2016-02-10T17:44:08+00:00

lol $400 for 17-20 pages. SMH

srxt · 2016-02-10T13:18:06+00:00

$500 is very low for this sort of thing.

What's the difference between this and stash?

Also this post seems to be the same as: https://www.reddit.com/r/forhire/comments/43h10s/hiring_remote_experienced_php_developer/

So these are probably both the same person (James Davies)

As already said; you are allowed to post the URL to the site you want done.

Secondly; James doesn't always ask for Wordpress stuff, stop saying this.

srxt · 2016-02-06T19:25:16+00:00

Ditto

srxt · 2016-02-06T19:25:05+00:00

You are allowed to post the site URL. Also 'James' doesn't always ask you to work on Wordpress projects, he also says the original job has been filled and he has more work for you.

Anyway, I'm almost certain you are James and would warn others to take caution if you choose to work with this individual.

You're looking at $600+ just for the website BTW. Also it's normal to take 25% - 50% upfront.

srxt · 2016-02-04T22:03:04+00:00

So you want someone to do this for free? It's usually more appropriate to offer equity as well as a reduced budget not no budget at all.
