| Hi Steve,
|
| Actually, it's for the annual group of kids at a Christian Church Camp
| who want to leave their email addresses for their friends.
|
| Go to www.campbarbee.com and click on the "Email Addresses" link and
| you'll see the CGI script that I want to replace with something a
| little more modern before my hosting service does away with their
| support for CGI sometime this summer.
|
| Any suggestions about where I can find a few of those hundreds of
| examples on the net that you wrote about? I would really like to see a
| few of them before our host dumps CGI support.
|
| Thanks Steve!
holy shit! you do realize that you have yourself opened wide for negligence,
right? you have no security in place that keeps anyone (read, adult
pedophiles) from accessing the email addresses of those who attend your camp
(read, children - aka prey in the pedophilia dictionary). while i really
could care less about your potential litigation, i do care about the safety
of those children to whom you are providing this 'service'.
you need to create an account for each of them. you need to be able to allow
those posting their email to select specifically to whom they'd like to
share their address or whether they'd like it made public (as limited to
only others who have accounts).
if you have no idea how to do this, i'd be happy to post a couple of pages
of code that integrates security. i'd be very wary of sending my child to
this camp as lack of forethought has trumped safety...makes me worry even
more about the env in which they'd be climing, canoeing, shooting arrows,
etc.
but that's just my 0.02 usd.
