CSDb moving to a new server

Hi everyone.

I've been planing to move CSDb to a new server for some time now, as the old one was getting old. :)

As the new server is running new versions of php etc. I need to recode bits and pieces, which is why it has been going a bit slow.

Then today I got a mail from my hosting company, telling me that the old server is flashing red. They say it's a pending hardware failure. :(

Hopefully nothing will happen before I get CSDb moved, but I will for sure not have the time to test everything as good as I wanted, so be prepared for misc. stuff acting wierd when I get it moved.

The worst case is that the old server suddenly crash, and data will be lost.
I'll make sure to take backups often, and transfer them to the new server, to make the loss of data minimal in this case, but I though you should know this is a possibility.

Anyway, hope to see you soon on the new server. :)

which will allow you to create a mess unless you have teh sk1llz

thats the main problem of PHP imho - its said to be an "easy" language for people who are still learning. And then the code written by said people goes into production =P

Main problem with most languages. When youre a newbie to the framework or language the first attempts are usually bad and should never reach production. The real world is ofcourse rather the opposite, most of my code included. ;)

its much more of a problem with some than with others imho - when the entry barrier is relatively low, AND the language is said to be "easy", AND the language is full of design flaws, chances are a whole lot more crap is the result than it is with other languages where these things are not as bad by far =)

remember MySQL 3.23 era? all MSSQL, Oracle and other "more complete" SQL server users were complaining about missing Stored Procedures, Triggers etc. now MySQL has them all but they still don't like MySQL because they think current version is not much different than 3.23. Same thing applies for PHP. PHP 3 was almost like Ansi C. PHP 4 had more OOP features and better libraries but still there were many missing things. Even PHP 5.0 wasn't as good as the current PHP version. If i recall correctly namespaces are added around 5.3 version.

My point is if you had a glance to PHP 5-10 years ago and you still think it's the same language you've seen, you are terribly wrong. But if you follow the new features and it's still not good enough for you because of some base features like not being a strongly typed but a loosely typed language etc. i've nothing to say. Many programmers doesn't like these kind of languages. But if you didn't follow PHP for a while, just have another glance.

back to topic, new server feels better. thank you again Perff for all your efforts and clean transfer.

Great work for sure!
One small bug I found: the download here Charts June now brings a 404:file not found - looking at the address bar, it seems that one code is interpreted as a backslash and thus fucks up the dl link.
Cheers,

Bugjam

Hm. Can't explain why it would work on the old server and not the new one, but fixed it. :)
(Hope I didn't break anything else with that fix!? ;-P )
