This little function does great for passwords, usernames, files, and anything else you need a random string for.

This php script provides a unique random key with 32 characters and can be used to avoid the system to pass some primary keys across the url, by example.

How to take web source code with CURL

Ok, so here's the deal. I've started to dally with Flash a bit, and I'm feeling all naked without my nifty Prototype functionality.

Most important to me are the bind() and curry() functions (though, others will rear their heads as my AS code gets more complex), Object.extend, and $A. They are para-ported here.

Dead simple interface for structured SQLite access within XUL, using Mozilla's SQLite Storage API.

Forgive the formality here; this is one of my professional scripts.

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.

The following script is a single interface for pre-validating any HTML form. It lets you validate your form data the way you want, while handling the rudimentary tasks itself.

1) Change just one variable to make it work with $_GET or $_POST or $_REQUEST.

2) Name which elements are 'required' all at once in a hidden HTML text input.

3) Easily provide field descriptions in hidden HTML text inputs that you can use to print error statements.

4) Call a single function to print out error statements that you can easily style with CSS.

5) It automatically checks if fields marked 'required' have been filled out.

Most of the pre-validation code is from PHP 5: Unleashed by Sams Publishing. I found it extremely useful for a recent project. Sharing it here, I removed some unnecessary functions, and tried to simplify some points.

All the comments are my own; hopefully I provided more than enough explanation.

If it's a .php page, you can simply include this file where you want a hit counter to appear.

One file - text output. Very simple, very easy. Based off the filename of the page (creates a pagename.counter file to hold the count).
(No use for it myself - made it for a friend).
