Just an idea: A Codeigniter Fiddle |
Hi,
Just following a previous question, it dawned on me that having a codeigniter fiddle website would be really cool. Does anyone have the time and necessary coding skill to build one? It would be a fantastic addition to the CI site too perhaps, as there could be a great library of working examples for people to look at, fiddle with, create their own and share. For me, although I would love to build it, I am certain it is far outside my abilities to do so. It might also be quite a massive task to build, but I would love to see one. Just thought I would mention the idea though as I thought it was a good one, and see what everyone else thought. Best wishes, Paul.
So how can you fiddle a server side php framework?
It's not a javascript/jquery that will run without a server.
I meant a bit like something similar to http://phpfiddle.org/ or http://codepad.org/ or http://sqlfiddle.com/
I had a quick look into how I would try one myself today, but gave up almost immediately. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17014...ode-safely I thought it might be done with an include or an eval but that just is not going to work. I imagined three windows, a view, a controller and a model. However the model might be a bit ambitious as you would have to define a table at least in a mock database. Perhaps a view and a controller would do for most things. As I said in my idea above, it is clearly beyond my abilities to do, and would probably represent too much work/cost to build, but I thought it was still a nice idea. Best wishes, Paul.
I have seen some PHP based fiddle-type websites... I suppose it would be nice
Why dont YOU make one? OP?

Maybe you could start by reading the entire post! Seriously, nothing beats a local test site. I think a PHP fiddle site would be a lot of work to make sure people can't run nasty code and hack the web site.

Could not agree more, in fact I have a hosted live test site just for ease of testing on different browsers and devices too.

In fact it is because I know very little about security for servers that I would not know where to start to build a sandboxed environment. Otherwise I would love to give it a go. I just think that for sharing code, code problems, and examples it would be a good idea, or at least a nice to have. I use php fiddle sites (and JS fiddle sites even more) when exploring new functions or trying to solve a particular issue. Or when I am playing code golf :-) Perhaps someone with access to more resources and relevant knowledge will feel inspired to create one in the future. Best wishes, Paul.
I have found one pretty interesting
Open http://code.runnable.com Go to PHP section and check out popular tags and topics, you'll see Codeigniter is the most trending
A fiddle would be limited in capabilities, essentially, without a database connection to the live data, virtually every site I work on wouldn't be able to use it. Furthermore, any site other than our site, I wouldn't ever enter my logins for the database either (and setting up a remote schema and populating with fake data is possible, but then we're talking a lot of work to just use it and it gets beyond a fiddle, more like a truddery)
