Proper Paragraphs

Convert an irregular name=value pair string into a formatted array.

This could be used for any type of simple hash checking. It could also be used to store a "password" that had to be verified. This code is completely managed.

This is a rewrite of a basic ADODB / PHP Database pager. This pager has some very slick search, sort, and display configuration options. Modifications and improvements are very welcome. Thus I am sharing this code.

A basic example for using this pager would be as follows:

// Check class code for CSS styles used
require_once ('class.init.php');

// SQL Statement
$sql = 'SELECT table1.field1, table1.field2, table1.field3 FROM table1';

// Field Labels
$label_arr = array (
'field1' => 'Field 1 Heading',
'field2' => 'Field 2 Heading',
'field3' => 'Field 3 Heading'
);

// Hidden Fields
$vsel_arr = array (
'field3' => 0 // don't display field3 unless requested by the user
);

$sort_arr = array (
'field1' => 'asc' // sort by field1 ascending order (asc) or (desc)
);

// Config array
$config = array (
'db' => &$dbconn, // open ADODB connection
'sql' => $sql, // String of sql
'id' => 'table1_pager', // pager id for session variables
'label_arr' => $label_arr, // field heading array
'vsel_arr' => $vsel_arr, // fields to hide
'extra_param' => '', // extra paramaters to pass with edit, delete, add anchors
'form_width' => '100%', // table with
'form_title' => 'Table 1', // table title
'edit_anchor' => 'Edit', // link to edit
'del_anchor' => 'Del', // link to delete
'add_anchor' => 'Add', // link to add
'print_anchor' => 'Print', // link to print
'header_view' => true, // no function at this time
'search_view' => true, // no function at this time
'pk' => array ('field1' => true), // primary key field
'sort_arr' => $sort_arr, // sort field array
);

// create object then render it ...
$_pager = new pager($config); // create instance
echo $_pager->render(25); // render output

The below code will generate a form dropdown for all 12 months, with the current month selected. Handy for those date pickers!

The below code will generate a form dropdown for all the days of the month, with today's day selected. Handy for those date pickers!

For those times you need to do a loop in PHP, but have the outcome be in descending order (ie, start at 10 and end at 1).

Simple upload class with features such as

- Upload of multiple files at the same time.
- Filtering uploads by size and extension.
- Uploads to configurable subdirs based on date.
- Automatic file renaming if a file with the same name exists.
- Transloading. Copying files from a different host to the local host. (Like Imageshack does)
- And more...

If a visitor comes to your site from a search engine such as Google or Yahoo, this function will highlight the keywords in a given text the user used for his search.

This function makes URLs in a given text clickable, and shorts down the link text if it's length is over the specified one. (Like vBulletin, etc... does)


PS:
Please explain negative votes, they're pointless otherwise...
