Test for SUICIDE POOL parser PART 2
Dear all:
Tog and I tried to run the parser on Sunday, and it did not go very well. One of our users wrote in a choice with an " ' " in the name, and apostrophes in MYSQL have a meaning, so the parsed string sent instructions to the code and the script was not able to run. We have thanked him for this as it is better to discover this glitch now as opposed to when we are running a real SP. Destructive testing, I think that is the way they call it.
So, to keep testing, I want you to, again, write down another player's name for a second test. All of you are smart enough to ask: "Why, P? Why not use the FIRST topic? I am busy here and that one serves just as well! ". Yes, it serves well. I ran it and it works. But the new parser has a feature that it can pick from BOTH topics and deliver one single string where we can see the results from previous days.
After we run this one, we can run a third, to make sure that we can pick multiple days. After all, in theory a SP can go for as long as 15 iterations (at RG).
Picks: any player's name, EXCEPT the the one you picked in the first post. Feel free to get creative and insert odd characters in your name (Pete $ampra$, St3fan 3db3rg, etc) and if you insert a phrase, just keep it short for now. We don't want to destroy it too much.
Thanks!
