You’ve probably landed on this page because you want to find the Content-type of a file by using the mime_content_type function. But when you tried using the function, you were returned with a PHP error because it’s a depreciated function (PHP 4). Then you may have tried to use the Fileinfo function (am alternative suggested [...]

Strange. I looked around everywhere for this code, and couldn’t find it anymore online. I simply wanted jQuery code that would show the height and width of the browser viewport in “real-time” I found plenty of code samples that would show the viewport size on page load/refresh, but nothing that would update live, as I [...]
This is a quick extension/counterpart to my existing blog post that explains how to List All Files In A Directory in PHP. But instead of listing all files, I’m quickly going to jot down how to list all directories/folders in a specified location. Someone had asked in the comments section how to do it, so [...]
I only used this code for the first time last week, but seems to work pretty well. The same code is plastered all over the internet on various websites, so I’m only jotting it down for my own personal reference. Hiding File Extensions What this piece of htaccess code basically does is allow you to [...]
The MySQL Optimize Table command will effectively de-fragment a mysql table; it’s useful for tables which are frequently updated and/or rows are deleted. Optimizing will will help with overall performance. I’ve quickly written a PHP script that optimizes all MySQL tables in a chosen Database. All you need to do is fill in the correct [...]
I had the strangest problem earlier. A client had reported that CSS code was showing on a category page, where only excerpts of a post should be showing. This is what it looked like: To cut a long story short, this issue was driving me insane, and I was frantically trying to pin down the [...]

I previously wrote a Simple, Pure CSS Image Gallery. But times have changed since then, and now everyone seems to be keen on AJAX technologies. So I’ve written a nice and easy Image Gallery script that uses JQuery (and a small bit of PHP). The problem with the CSS image gallery is that different browsers [...]
A friend of mine has been struggling to format a date string he’s pulling out from a MySQL table. He’s just started learning PHP, so he’s still getting to grips with things. When he came to me with his problem, I sent him a link to the date function, but he couldn’t understand the manual’s [...]
So, this JQuery code shows the next element (a DIV in this case) when you hover over a “trigger” (in this case, the triggers are hyperlinks), and then hides the element (the DIV and its contents) once you hover out. Below is a demo of exactly what I mean… Demo Link- Gallery Take a look [...]
Note to self and everyone else having a breakdown over this issue, YOU CANNOT float a list in I.E 6 or 7 and have the bullets display. It took me way too long to realise that. I have searched high and low for a legitimate way of making it work (without using JavaScript), but apparently [...]
I looked high and low for an “AJAX hovering/expanding info box”, but I couldn’t really find anything decent that worked in all browsers. Most of them choked when using I.E. I may have even been Googling the wrong keyphrase, I’m not even sure I named this effect the right thing… For those of you who [...]
