Generate a random number or string in PHP.

If you have ever written a website or java application where people paste stuff in from Word, you are likely to have hit the problem of Word using high ascii chars for "open quotes", "close quotes", reg symbol, etc...

This java class (with a single static method) can replace the most prevalent of these with normal ascii values

Hope it helps someone...

This function is useful in helping to deter spam bots by obfuscating things such as e-mail addresses and URLs that are displayed on a web page. While it's not 100% fool proof, it does offer some protection.

Example:
$email = html_entitize('foo@baz.org');
/*
Outputs foo@baz.com
*/

Generates select boxes, text boxes, check boxes and radio buttons. Via a handful of functions.

This is a class for generating HTML tables. It's kind of rough, but I thought somebody might want to do something with it.

Here's a little snippet I got from SitePoint that I now use all the time. Add the code below to the start of each script.

Basically, what this does is checks to see if magic_quotes_gpc() is enabled on the server, and if it is, then it gets rid of all the slashes that magic_quotes_gpc() adds to input from $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIES globals.

It's a good snippet to use, because it negates the bad programming practices that having magic_quotes_gpc() lets you get away with, and means that you don't really on PHP to validate your input; you get to do it all yourself ;-)

Over the summer, I worked on a project in which I needed to parse logfiles which were in the following format:

IP|USE|TIME>IP2|USE2|TIME2>

and so on.

When I parsed them to display the log file in a user-friendly fashion, I used the following code:

Here is an easy calendar!

Hope you like it dude =)

With this function you can calculate the age of a person

Example:
echo "Age is: " . age("1984-07-05");

Result will be (23 Feb 2005) = "Age is: 20"

Don't know if anyone will find this handly, but here's a CSS processor that I wrote that allows me to nest CSS Blocks, and various other things, making for an easier to maintain CSS file.

Warning: I'd recommend caching the results since I didn't have a need to optomize it for speed.

Things that it includes:
*Nested CSS Rules
*Removes Whitespace
*Allows for // comments
*Removes comments (so put them in at no cost)

Please let me know what you think
