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

"Today in the news, MySQL previews..."

As a "preview" of text, this MySQL select will return the first few words out of a text field in a database. It returns entire words (doesn't cut them off in the middle) and follows the last word with an elipse "..."

In the PHP, assign $CharactersToDisplay to a number - the approximate number of characters desired (or you can hard-code it if you want).

For the example, I also use $TheID as the row identity for the record to display.

It works with Array types. The example is a simple list of numbers, but the array could contain anything; lists of strings, functions, DOM nodes, whatever. Unfortunately, a lot of things that seem like arrays in the DOM aren't really, so you can't shuffle the images on a page with just document.images.shuffle() all by itself.

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!

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

Generates a tree view within a dropdown select box.

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

Returns an array of folder/file names in the specified path.

This little function will split an e-mail address passed to it at the @ sign, and make sure that there is a valid e-mail server at the other end =)

This will give you CheckDNSRR functionality in windows.

This function is only natively available in php while running on Linux.
