A simple function (with support) that can provide the backbone to any templating system.

My previous entry on an easy to use SQLite interface for XUL/JS got me thinking: how many times have I had to write functions that were just wrappers for a little SQL?

Below is the fruits of that little query (excuse the pun). Forgive the dbXXX functions; my implementation depended on a small portion of a larger mysql library that I've grown accustomed to coding with.

Best use of ob_, custom error handling, and variable variales evar: simple templating.

_parse($filename[,$locals])
includes $filename and renders its output to the return value. $locals, if used, will add a set of variables to the included context.

Parse($template[,$locals])
Same as above, but allows you to define a base template folder and omit the .php - just for cleaner code.

t($template[,$obj])
...
t()
Same as Parse, but any output between the opening call and the closing call (no arguments) will be buffered intot he $content variable of the template.

Play around with t(..) to find out more; I don't feel like documenting it.

This is a Tiny PHP Uploading script. It SHOULD be safe from both really large files and non-image files.

You can use this function to dynamically generate html "width/height" for use with displaying a thumbnail image usingthe original image. This will help save in making dup images just for display as a thumbnail.

It takes two arguments, the path to where the image is stored and the desired width or height.

Please comment or improve this code .

Here is a pair of function to use in combination. The first one will change newlines into tags to store into a database. The second one does the reverse so you can edit the content of the database without having the tags show when you edit the content. If you can find improvements or have comments please let me know

This is a simple function to generate a random ID of letters and numbers however long you want. All you do is pass it how many parts you want and then how many pieces(chars/numbers) per part you want.

I hope you enjoy

This is a faily simple function to validate a URL being passed into your scripts. It will allow for http, https, and ftp. The beginning www. of a URL is optional as well. It will also validate if you have an IP address in place of the domain name. I'm sure this can be improved upon as this is my first attempt at regular expressions but it has worked good for me so far. Please comment or improve if your able.

Thanks!

This function will take four arguments, the year, month, day and number of days in the future you want to go and return to you as an array (year,month,day) of that date.

It is a simple function that is only for convenience. It is meant to be used in conjunction with the list() command.

This function will let you find the Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc of a month and return to you that date.

It is a modification of a script I found online at this site: http://filchiprogrammer.wordpress.com/2008/02/27/getting-the-first-monday-of-the-month/.

The function takes three arguments, the month, year and the weekday you are looking for. The weekday is represented by an integer, 0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday and so on.
