Collage Engine - what do you think?

[johnmccann]

Hi,

I just made this site, and I thought it was a really cool use of Php / Gd and a lot of fun.

www.collageengine.com

I thought I would post it on here to see if anyone has any suggestion on how they would improve it.


thanks

John

That's pretty cool! Very fun! IF you spruce up the lead-in page i think it could be pretty popular.

One thing i noticed when i opened the image in a new window was that I could manipulate the $_GET['count'] value to equal 150, 1500, 15,000. I only did 150 so as not to overload your server. but keep in mind that someone could easily manipulate that value and slow things down for your server.


Why not validate that $_GET['count'] value and make sure it is between say 10 and 50 or 100.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tip... I didn't think of that.........

Would have been cool if it was an original idea... there was a MUCH cooler example linked from Zeldman a few weeks ago. Also might be worth considering using solid colors/shapes instead of photos.

it's a very good idea whether it's yours or not, well done.
