Keep in mind, that it's better to have them in your office so you can control what they see and guide them through your examples. But if nothing else, you can show them something you've done without showing a client's site. I don't like showing client sites because: a) the site is not usually 100% yours; b) some of the sites I've worked on I don't want to be associated with (horrible front ends); c) and sometimes prospective clients want to contact your past employers and you may not want that. For example, your past client may not want to be contacted -- after all, it's their time -- what are you doing wasting their time? Also, who knows what they are going to say? Even good clients who like your service may look at someone inquiring as to your service and think Hey, what happens when I need something and my programmer is working for them? Belive me it happens. So, my recommendation is keep your experience and examples under your control.

It contains: 1.) Customer db 2.) quoting The quoting system replaces emails that are sent back and forth between you and your client, as managing emails really, really is not fun. (Client visits the website to interact with the quoting system) 3.) invoicing 4.) a full proposal system that links to the quoting features (it's like a glorified quoting system that looks pretty to the client.. so instead of seeing numbers, they see numbers and moch-ups/designs. 5.) Job clock that links to the invoicing system. (invoices know if a job has 'job clock' records. 6.) Budgeting system. 7.) Reports (for dreaded tax days) 8.) Client Payment system 9.) hmmm what else, emailing, searching all db's, etc. My sanity is already a sensitive issue when it comes to client billing etc.. and I'm pretty sure I'd be living in a padded room by now if I didn't have this app. ;-) hmmm... since this is the PHP forum, I have to say something that will steer this back to politically correctness... I'm sure you could build these features in PHP... just allow yourself a bit more time. ;-) To the O.P., I agree with someone who said; much of the time, client work will drive creativity and new projects (and keep you eating). However, I guess if you are starting out, it wouldn't hurt to zap something out that will show people what you can do. I would suggest that, whatever you do, maybe integrate some client-side stuff as well.. like Flash,CSS,or JS.

Roach is way more powerful in that respect, but the overall Wiki/SVN/Ticket/Plugin integration outweighs the lacking Ticket system. Roach is the best ticket system I've ever used -- and I say that honestly. I'm stuck with FogBugz here at work and really don't like it. I hated Bugzilla. I've tried a few others as well and didn't like them either. For sure Roach isn't as polished or pretty or fancy-pants web 2.0 ajaxy. But it is solid. it works well and shows the info you want when/where you want it. It's fast. It's flexible. And IMHO it works the way developers work. Like I said, 6 years of daily use by 25 developers really helped to refine what mattered and what didn't. The hooks with SVN are also great. For example someone couldn't commit to SVN without the corresponding CR in Roach in the commit message. I thought I had the SVN pre-commit and post-commit hooks in the tarball, but apparently not.

Of course there are hundreds of generic bug tracking programs out there. Anyone with a PHP book can make one. We'd like to align with an industry standard type one, or one with an active community, but there is no real big one I am aware of other than Bugzilla (if not factoring in language) or Mantis (for PHP), or with SCM interaction Redmine and Trac. Trac won't work for us because we have multiple repositories/projects. We'd have to hack together some sort of solution to manage all of them from one, or install a bunch of instances, and then we'd have bugs in multiple systems to track. Each developer on our team handles code for at least one project, just FYI. Redmine may work, but we need more time to determine if we can hack our own auth layer on top of it.

Re: [PHP] I need ideas for things to code
This was a surprisingly good idea that works for me, as I haven't coded in about 3 years and need to get my hand back in. Trying to make use of one idea led to several others. Thanks, tedd!

That way not only do you learn, but you have examples to fall back on when the need rises. Here's a small (believe me) portion of the demo's I've written over the years: http://webbytedd.com/a.php These cover different languages, but it will give you the idea. Just make a inventory of examples and post them with code. Not only will it help you, but might help others when you answer questions on this list showing the solution.

I'm currently writing an in-house PHP helpdesk ticket system. I looked at all the open source ones i could find in a google search and they didn't do what I need (some had few features, others didn't support authentication against external sources (ldap, imap, etc)). the commercial ones seemed like they'd do what I want, but the budget is tight with my employer currently. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
