submitting to envato.. suxs

Ok so i thought i'd do my first wordpress plugin which i found quite useful.
Then i thought I'd sell it on Envato being that they have nothing like it.

Well im having a whinge, cause they are so damn hard to crack, the coding is awesome, clean and well documented, it also has an install and uninstall feature which most of their wp plugins dont include..

I have created documentation, screen shots, banners etc which is all the stuff they ask for..

So it took me like ten times longer to do all the stupid documentation and help files they request you. I took the stupid test they tell you to do and read all their stupid terms.

I spent like 4 wasted days fixing everything to their standards.

By the time i submit my damn plugin, i am soooo tired so i put a simple explanation, with a link to demo and list of features and I get knocked back...

why?? not colour ful enough description.. are you fuckn serious..

i can not be fukd to submit it again.. so I will sell it on here.. Its $5 each and eventually I will release it for free. So you can either wait or get it now..

To find out more about the Toggle Plugin, click here. I put alot of work into the plugin to make sure it will fit in with everyone's wordpress theme.

It has heaps of options, so you can change all the colors, fonts and size.

Check out the post and the demo to see it in action.

Screw envato they only pay you 75% if you give them exclusivity and 25% if you dont.. which is ridiculous since you do sooo much work.

I Will stop bitchn for today

PHP why r u so cheeky???

This is what i hate about building an online application using php.
yes php is awesome, and its virtually only limited by your own mind..

but man when it stuffs up the entire effin page dies.
you then need to go line by line code by code to find the problem.

sure you can turn on error_reporting(E_ALL) but guess what if its an sql problem or something like that, it aint going to tell you dick.

Sooooooooooooooooooooo you pray to the php gods and hope for some ray of light to shine on your screen and show you where the problem is.. . lol ye right..

4 hours later, your pulling your hair out and rewriting most of the code and pulling chunks out and rearranging everything trying to figure out WTF???

still nothing......................

So my next step is to walk away, grab a coffee, take a potty break.. attempt to breathe .. then come back..
Eventually i figured out it wasnt a syntax problem the code was perfect.

it was the effin $_POST fields..

one of the fields had an apostrophe and i didnt addslashes so it was classing with the damn sql.

Ok soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo basically for those of you that have no idea what im talking about, i just spent 4 and a half hours trying to fix something in the code, that wasnt in the code in the first place and would have taken me 5 minutes to do ...

Not frign time efficient PHP!!!!!!!!!!
there just has to be an easier way of trouble shooting php than the standard rigmarole...

and I offer you many prayers php god, i love you much and please let my next coding session go smoothly...
