By default, WordPress tends to load a lot of junk in the header. So, for example, if you “view source” when looking at a wordpress blog post, you’ll typically see the following load in the header: 1 2 3 4 5 6 <link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="" /> <link rel="wlwmanifest" type="application/wlwmanifest+xml" href="wlwmanifest.xml" /> <link rel=’index’ [...]
Here’s a good/efficient way of building a loop of years from a starting point to an ending point. For example, this code will show you how to print a range of years from 2000 to 2010: 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 The code is particularly useful if you want to [...]
I can’t remember for the life of me where I got this code from, but if I could, I’d give the author the credit. I didn’t write this code, but it’s something I wanted to share because it’s pretty cool. There are HUNDREDS of image rotating scripts out there, but I like this one in [...]
Here’s an extremely useful snippet of code that will properly format sentences with capitalization. Actually, what the code really does is capitialize every letter AFTER a full-stop (period). Here’s an example of what the code will do… Before: Hello This Is An Example Of A Sentence Which Has Odd Capitalization Which You May Want Fixing. [...]
This is another one of those quite specific pieces of code, so I doubt many people will need it. I think the code is quite useful, so I thought i’d make a post about it. Anyways, I’m going to show you how you can pull just images out of a field in a MySQL table. [...]
Ok, i’m going to quickly jot down some PHP code, which dynamically populates date fields (dd/mm/yyyy) for HTML forms. I’m always using this code, but I never write it down, so i’m forever retyping it! To generate the date dropdown fields shown above, you could hardcode the values, like this…. 1 2 3 4 5 [...]
Ok, this is a quick note to myself, because I always seem to forget this code, and I have no idea why, because it’s so simple. So, the scenario is that when I’m writing AJAX code, a lot of the times I use a hyperlink to trigger an action. For example, look at the following [...]
I just implemented a new feature on Property Investment for the Landlord, which shows a box rotating through various text blocks. Just for clarification, this code doesn’t just apply to rotating “text”, you can put images or anything you want in there. This is just a flat image example: I used the excellent Jquery Innerfade [...]
I’ve recently installed Sagepay Form on a clients shopping cart, which is powered by osCommerce Version 2.2. The installation was pretty simple. I had to install the osCommerce SagePay Form Module and then do various other things to get the account live. Once the account was live I stumbled upon quite a serious problem. The [...]
I’ve had a few people asking me how to refresh a table (not the entire page) when inserting rows into a MySQL database, so I thought I’d quickly put together a small demo. Here’s a basic demo of what I’m talking about. If you populate the form and press “Submit” you’ll notice the table updates [...]
I’m quickly going to demonstrate how to escape special characters in a string for all POST/GET variables safe for a MySQL INSERT query when passing values from a HTML form. So, let’s say we have a form like this on index.php: Details First Name: Surname: Email: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [...]
I’m quickly going to demonstrate how to INSERT rows from one table into another table. I’d just like to clarify, this isn’t the same as completely copying a table, because with a INSERT SELECT query you can use the WHERE clause to INSERT rows with a particular condition (e.g. WHERE name = ‘Bill’). Whereas, copying [...]
I’ve been working with meduim sized tables (2.1million rows) in MySQL lately. One particular table had a lot of duplicate rows, which I needed to filter out. I’m quickly going to demonstrate how I did it. I’m sure there are many ways of doing this, but this method proved to be the easiest for me. [...]
Here’s a simple pierce of code which will permanently redirect a folder / directory. For example, if you have a directory in the following path: http://www.example.com/pictures/, and for whatever reason decide to rename the directory to http://www.example.com/new-pictures/, the following htaccess code will safely redirect all users from /pictures/ to /new-pictures/ Redirect An Entire Directory / [...]
This is a very specific problem I was faced with a few days ago, so I doubt many people will find it directly useful. However, the solution to this problem can be used to resolve a load of tricky regular expression issues. The Scenerio A client recently changed permalink structures for his entire website. For [...]
