Sirbutts and pimpery,

I may be speaking to the expert programmers on php and vBulletin, so apologies if my hack was not up to your level. As far as I remember, in the original hack's thread, I clearly said that I am no expert (like you two). Has it occured to you that this thread was the first time I heard the expression "SQL Injection"?

And in my answer to Pimpery, I asked specific questions. Pimpery provided a function, with no instructions on how to use it. Am I suppose to guess or to take the advise of experts? He did posted this thread, and I asked a question. He didn't bother answering, instead Soup jumped in and provided some explanation. Shall I consider Pimpery's attitude as "the arrogance of the experts"?

And yes Pimpery, I have a ****load of time in my hands. With two sites to maintain, two 3 year old kids to take care of, and a family of 5. You are right, the amount of time you invest in something doesn't make you a better coder, as much as the amount of time you live on this earth doesn't make you a better person, but some times it polishes your skills. I sincerely hope you are very very young.

In any case, the hole is closed, so that's history.
