I never considered this, but this is kind of funny:

CODE

char listenmessage[45];
char tmp[15];
memset(listenmessage,0,70);
memset(tmp,0,15);
strcpy(listenmessage,"Listening on port ");
sprintf(tmp,%d,listenport);
strcat(listenmessage,tmp);
callfunction(listenmessage);

In php:

CODE

<?php callfunction("Listening on port ".$listenport);?>

The really funny thing is your PHP code is too long

CODE

<?php=callfunction("Listening on port $listenport");?

or if short_open_tags is on

CODE

<?=callfunction("Listening on port $listenport");?

Actually I heard that's not a good way of doing it. Not sure why though.

I just wish C++ had a nice syntax like php.

Strings do make things easier though, but lot of functions still use chars.

Hmm now that I think of it, I can probably use strings and dump it right in a function by going stringname.c_str(). Just thought of that now.

With strings that would cut the memset part, and make adding easier as I can just go string1 + string2.

*redesigns that part*

Wow using strings helped...

CODE

NSS_logger("Listening on port " + Int2string(listenport),0);

The int2string() function is in my custom header file and contains this:

CODE

string Int2string(int number)
{
char tmp[30];
sprintf(tmp,"%d",number);

return tmp;
}

Much, much easier. But does not beat php though.

Three people living in this house, three computers. One computer per person. If she were to touch my computer I'd be pissed. Besides, I don't have AOL on my PC and she doesn't know how to work the internet without AOL.

LOL that's funny. Just make sure you're on a switch and not a hub... but if she can't figure out a real browser I doubt she can figure out a packet sniffer anyway.

Never use char arrays as strings in C++. If you really need a character array for some other function, use the c_str() member function.

Yeah I try to do that as much as possible. I'm glad I got to learning strings, since they make stuff a bit more like php, such as unlimited string lenghts, and no need to declare and reserve memory, etc.
