I'm trying to load an object into a session variable.

The recursive function stripslashesDeep($value) will (upon called) strip slashes (\) from strings and arrays (even arrays with arrays within themself). The controlstatement (if) checks if magic quotes gpc is on, if it is we strip the slashes it have added.

Very good snippet if you want to have the "same" input even if you switch to an enviroment where magic quotes gpc is set to something else than on your originall server.

This snippet will undo all the nasty stuff which happens when you set register_globals to on in your php.ini file.

(Originally found in the code of Wordpress).

This litle snippet shows how to store passwords and then check inputed passwords if they are correct.

(In this snippet we use som pseduo code for the database connection).

A small function to help you debug your PHP scripts (with the debug modell, output as much as possible to see where the script fails).

Php Things

A small recursive php function to determine the size of a directory by adding all it's contents together and returning them as an integer.

This function is useful in helping to deter spam bots by obfuscating things such as e-mail addresses and URLs that are displayed on a web page. While it's not 100% fool proof, it does offer some protection.

Example:
$email = html_entitize('foo@baz.org');
/*
Outputs foo@baz.com
*/

Just a simple check to make sure that a person's email address matches their domain.

For example .. in a form you have 2 textboxs .. 1 for their website url, the other for their email address. This checks to see if the domains for the email address and the website url match.

Simple function to check for a valid email address. Makes sure the @ and a . are in the right place. There is most likely a perl package on CPAN that would be more extensive, but this happens to work for my uses.
