Save your solvs

22 January, 2010 in the category computers, english, web by .

I wrote my first MySQL(+PHP) application: SaveYourSolvs.

SaveYourSolvs is the new Solvr interface that keeps track of your discussions.


If you're a Solvr user, this might be useful. Maybe you find the Greasemonkey Userscript for SaveYourSolvs integration into Solvr useful. You'll need the Greasemonkey Firefox Add-On for this.

How to use SaveYourSolvs:

It's easy to use, as you see in the screenshots:

If you've got any questions, ask them at the SaveYourSolvs discussion in Solvr (or here, if you prefer).


For developers:

  • you can use the apps sys-list.php sys-creator.php and sys-rest.php as well
  • all three apps respond to the same GET queries like the main interface
  • but only sys-rest.php displays almost nothing.

To be honest: I think using some bookmark service like del.icio.us is better than using my tool. I just wrote it to get an impression how PHP+MySQL works (and how insecure it is) and how easy it is to manipulate the HTML DOM with JavaScript (in the userscript).

As soon as I release the sourcecode, I will have to stop the service on the webserver since I don't know enough about PHP security issues. Maybe the Greasemonkey script is useful to learn quickly how to write such userscripts ;-)
