a simple css way to add shadow to tables and Divs

This is a PHP and JavaScript Image gallery that I created. There are 2 uses for this.
1.) You can save it as index.php and place in a folder containing images and it will display the images in that folder.
Example:
place index.php in images/folder
http://yoursite.com/images/folder/
This will display all images in that folder

2.) Pass in the path to the folder to display in the url
Example:
Save as imagegallery.php
http://yoursite.com/imagegallery.php?path=images/folde

A quick and simple function to dump a variable (array, object, string, int, etc) out into -formatted output for a web browser.

If the variable is an array or an object, you can have it returned into the another variable for later processing (i.e., through templates or e-mail). Due to lack of free time, if the variable is not an array or an object, it will ignore the $return value and print directly to output.

Future revisions will add the above mentioned functionality.

Proper Paragraphs

Generates a tree view within a dropdown select box.

Here's a basic function for debugging any kind of PHP variable. It allows for "invisible" or "visible" output--that is output in HTML comments or within visible HTML tags. It also supports customizable "containers" which lets you easily edit the look of the visible and invisible blocks. Examples in code below.

This function calculates how many lines will text occupy.
Example (simple):


$string = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Phasellus tincidunt posuere dolor";

$num_lines = how_many_lines(10, $string);

It accepts a third, optional, parameter $options, that allows you to change behaviour. $options should be array. Following configuration options are available:

'white_spaces' - default: array(' ', "\t") - array of chars, that should be treated as whitespace.

'new_lines' - default: array("\r\n", "\n") - array of strings, that should be treated as newlines. For example, for HTML you can set 'new_lines' => array('');

'force_line_breaks' - default: true - force wrapping, when the token is longer than width, or not. If set to false, and token cannot be fitted into $width, function will return false;

'callback' - default: null - callback function for determining character width. Must accept at least one parameter - $char

'callback_params' - default: array() - optional additional callback parameters

'char_widths' - default: null - associative array in a form $char => $width, which contains char width. If $char is not found in the array, it's width is defaulted to 0.

Set a word or phrase in an input field, clear it onfocus

Strip HTML

If you're an IE user you may have noticed that when you hover on a medium to large sized image, a toolbar appears in the corner of the image. It's basically useless as it accomplishes nothing that can't be done with a right-click.

Luckily, Microsoft has included a way for webmasters to disable this function.
