I refused the job, it would take longer to finish their code than to start from scratch.

So yeah, you get for what you pay for, never hire cheap programmers.
So are you watching a screencap from my desktop while I'm working on my newest client? Same thing over here, but she's paying me hourly so it's all good. 154 files in the main, 9 in the includes (7 I added)....config and functions in plain view instead of secured includes directory and let's not even talk about what happened when I turned 'show_errors',1. Yeah, bringing it into PDO, making centralized files with an include library and such is what I've been doing the last 2 weeks.
