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.

This function tries to locate a file in a give folder (either single level, or in any sub folder). Returns the relative file and path, or FALSE if not found. Skips over "." and "..".

This function takes a directory, and a "folder" search parameter.
If it finds the directory (either in single level, or any sub folder) it will return the relative path of that folder. "FALSE" if not found. Skips over files and "." and ".." directories. Recursive by default.

Takes a given directory and lists all the files and folders under it, including sub folders. Resulting array contains associative (folders) and indexed (files) elements. Doesn't return "." and ".."

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.

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.

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

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

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

Simple. It's parse_url, from PHP, implemented in Javascript. Seen a lot of similar ones around the web, but they were all bulky code and none of them took advantage of the RegEx parser in JS.

Applied as a member of the String prototype, so just call as myURL.parseURL(); Will return a named object with naming identical to that of PHP's function.

Additional: if first argument is present, will break the querystring up into name/value pairs, unescaped, and return that instead of the raw querystriing.

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.

Ok, so I was getting frustrated with the inability to hide data in javascript, as well as a number of other concerns with existing class structures (the requirement to use this.constructor in lieu of self, for example).

As a result, I've thrown together a nice little class constructor that accepts a class definition, as well as a class extender that allows you to build a new class from an existing one, with full access to all that private stuff.

This is a version of my previous entrant, Promise, that will work with prototype, but does not require it. It's slightly more advanced, using .apply here and there.

It's basically a function to allow any other function to poll. Polling is generally regarded as bad practice in object oriented code, but can make very simple the matter of, for example, running a bit of code only after a single-run event (like onload) occurs (whether that be in the future or past), another unrelated bit of code needs to be hack-tracked, or any other generic condition.

Note that when the function runs, it doesn't necessarily run within the scope that's called it. Its context is set to itself, rather than its normal context, and it's asynchronous, so you'll not get a return value. If you use Prototype, you can bind the function and it'll behave as it should in terms of context, but I'm unaware of a way to cause an asynch function to block execution - and you'd really rather that not happen anyway, trust me.

Prototype's Form.Methods library has a nice piece of code called 'serialize', which, if passed with the optional 'hash' parameter set to true, will convert an HTML form into a Javascript Object.

I was dismayed, however, to find that there was no way to reverse it; just as simply load a form using a Javascrip object.

So, here's one. enjoy.

A simple, yet powerful (what a cliché) way of resgistering javascript keyboard shortcuts. Register any kind of keyboard shortcuts, and if applicable, override the browser default action.

These are some prototype methods to handle class names in html elements. As you all should know, a html element can have more than one class name.

This is part of my dom handling toolkit. Check it out and use it at will.

Cheers

This code allows you to set the "opcity" style attribute on a element without affecting it's content.

Just call the function for a specific element or to all elements of a given classname after the document loads.

Examples and advanced usage here...

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).

This detects screen resolution using javascript and makes it available to php by way of cookies.

Use this to print alternating values from an array.

It cycles through a series of values based on an iteration number.

For example, you could use this for alternating background colors.

A wrapper on top of createElement for getting around IE problems with manipulating the name attribute. Unlike most solutions for this, it tests for which method to use once when the page loads rather than every time an element is created. By Chaos of Lost Souls MUD (a text-based fantasy RPG).

A simple, flexible formula for generating diminishing returns out of input numbers. Full explanation and home, with sample calculators and versions of the code in other languages, on the Lost Souls MUD Grimoire.

Well after searching the internet for something similar to this, I didn't come up with anything...so I made my own! This simple script will track your members' time spent on your website. Please feel free to give comments/suggestions/feedback.

Here's a quick lil' addon for Prototype that I use often.

Prototype.Promise(condition, action, interval)
condition is a string that you want met before an action is run.
action is a function that does the action.
interval is the polling rate for condition in seconds, and defaults to 1

So, for example, you may want function foo to run, but only once bar has been set:

function foo(a,b) {
this.retVal=a+b;
}
var thingy = {
retVal:0
};
Prototype.Promise(
'thingy.retVal=5',
foo.bind(thingy,5,10),
5
);


Then, in some point in the mysterious future, thingy.retVal gets set to 5, at which point, the Promise goes into effect, and thingy.retVal becomes 10.

Where I find this particularly useful is in making sure that a document is loaded before doing something (condition="$$('body').length>=1), as you can see it used for the include functions.

Speaking of which, the following include functions are great for getting scripts and stylesheets into your page. I won't bother with examples, as they're pretty straightforward.

Meanwhile, Prototype.scriptPath will point to wherever in your server's heirarchy Prototype was loaded from. The regex, you'll note allows for names like prototype.compressed.js, prototype.modified.js, 2007-09-28.prototype.js, etc - just in case you want to keep track of your various hacks of Prototype, as I do.

This script performs reliable, cross-browser input autofocus that often can be used simply by dropping it in, with no modifications to the form or HTML body. It refuses to switch focus if it detects that the user has interacted with the form (avoiding a major source of annoyance with autofocus scripts) and correctly handles Firefox tabs opened "in the background", which most autofocus scripts fail on. Official home is on the Lost Souls MUD Grimoire.

This is a cool function that lets you save MySQL query data to an Excel spreadsheet. This is good for taking a backup or if you want to change a lot of information fast, then re-upload it.

I will use the config.php and class.mysql.php files from MySQL DB Class with Extras, so please look at those also.

This is a little function that you can use to print out results of a query. It will dynamicly generate the table for you (like phpMyAdmin). This is a nice little checker that is fast. It beats logging into phpMyAdmin and typing in your query there.

I will use the config.php and class.mysql.php files from MySQL DB Class with Extras, so please look at those also.

This is an authorize.net credit card processing class. Required elements are:
- Authorize.net account (live and/or sandbox)
- PHP w/ CURL installed
- SSL certificate installed on server
- My Simple Error Class

And use my Easy Credit Card Class as a pre-processor to this class.

For more information on authorize.net just go to their website and download their developers information.

This is a simple function to check if an email is valid or not.

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

This is a simple credit card validation class that you can check for most issues before you process you form through paypal, authorize.net, or anywhere else. This also uses my Simple Error Class, the error class is required for this.

A very simple error class that can be pretty handy.

This is my MySQL database class that I use for all of my sites. Some included features are:
- Get execution time
- Error reporting (screen and email)
- SQL stats

I made this script to delete any unneeded files from the server that weren't being used by the database. Of course you can expand this a lot more, but I cut it down a little to put it up here.

it give us the position of the mouse. works on IE and Firefox

use:
onclick="posicion_mouse(event)"

Returns the keycode of the key we wrote on a textarea/input. works on IE and Firefox

Returns an array with all the objects with certain class. tested on IE 6 and Firefox 2

Simple set of functions for capturing and manipulating the className member of an HTMLElement

This is a quick set of overrides for Javascript so that any variable can be passed to PHP in a GET/POST activity. Just call myVar.toPHP();

I use this little set of functions extensively in a little Javascript/PHP RPC handler I wrote. I don't have the reverse function, as I pass JSON back to the browser for the return value.

Note: This lib is not safe for binaries or HTML Elements. The former will come out similar to FTP ASCII breaks, and the latter will cause infinite recursion. If you want to make a speical case for HTML Elements, do so; you could probably just test for parentNode and create a 'safe' object from that. I didn't need it, so I didn't code it.

As for binary safety, at some point between toPHP/escape/post/urldecode/unserialize, the object breaks. Rather than create a huge fix for something I didn't need to do, I put in a quick match/hack. Don't like it? Write the fix yourself.

This is a function I created to ease headaches caused by creating and inserting new stuff in an HTML document dynamically. Essentially, it allows you to specify an HTML tag, in its entirety (attributes, styles, event handling, etc), via a single command. You can nest it, so as to create an entire element tree programmatically in a lot less time as with document.createElement.

Don't let the goofy function acronym fool you; this is damned powerful.

First, the function spec:
HTMLElement acne(type[,attributes[,styles[,events[,children[,parent[,document]]]]]]);

Arguments:

String type: type of element to create; same information as the argument of document.createElement
mixed Object attributes: attributes you want the new element to have (ie: href, src)
mixed Object styles: styles for the new element (ie: width, borderLeft)
(function|function Array) Object events: event handlers for the new element
HTMLElement|HTMLElement Array children: elements you want to be in the new element (ie: nesting is possible)
HTMLElement parent: parent node of object
HTMLDocument document: document to create element in

A proof of concept idea I had for implementing an aspect oriented framework in PHP (yes, I know about http://aophp.net, but it requires a module).

I thought it was neat, so I'm going to share it.

Hope someone likes it.

This function will reverse the affects of register_globals

This small snippet will not allow _POST requests from a 'foreign' domain. It relies on the HTTP_REFERER variable.

This simple function will check if a url is valid (going by parse_url()) and if it's 'online' - by seeing if it returns a 302, 301, or 200 status code.

A websafe colour palette generator in JavaScript. Coded this after looking at http://www.bytemycode.com/snippets/snippet/585/ and wanting to do it differently.

It's been refactored so that:
* can pass generateColourPalette an arbitrary array of colour codes and it'll generate a palette.
* it hooks into the page through the external file
* uses an internal stylesheet instead of inline styles

This PHP class allows you to send SMS to almost every country directly from your website. All you need is an account on www.tm4b.com and PHP 5.

Also required is either cURL or allow_url_fopen enabled in php.ini

You can search for "@" or something like mail information in your page source code. You'll find nothing.
You can have link of your mail with a title or just you mail address as the title. Hope this code have no problem...

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.

A simple MySQL class for use in PHP.
Feel free to suggest improvements.

This is a simple cookie object that handles some of the basic cookie functions and which is kind of like a simple cookie-object parser.

Hope you like it.

Don't know if anyone will find this handly, but here's a CSS processor that I wrote that allows me to nest CSS Blocks, and various other things, making for an easier to maintain CSS file.

Warning: I'd recommend caching the results since I didn't have a need to optomize it for speed.

Things that it includes:
*Nested CSS Rules
*Removes Whitespace
*Allows for // comments
*Removes comments (so put them in at no cost)

Please let me know what you think

Rather than have standalone functions rtrim, ltrim, and trim (as in http://www.bytemycode.com/snippets/snippet/397/) why not have them as methods of all string objects?

libNog is a 9k library to provide somewhat easier browser-independence. It is not yet complete, and will be continuously revised. It grew from this snippet, and is still growing as I find things I use often.
Presently, libNog features:

A way to browser-independently get an XMLHttpRequest object.
A set of simple methods for GET, POST, HEAD, and to include other Scripts.
Simple methods for className control
A completely abstracted form of getElement*
Browser-independent methods for attaching and detaching event handlers
An event-normalization routine
A simple one-command 'Stop the Event' routine
And the big one: A simplified Class object by which classes can be built in JavaScript.

Return object by type. Revision 2.

Return object by type

Remove all children of Object.

I like to have these two methods in my toolbelt, even though it's syntactic sugar, I think it aids clarity.

This is a simple function that resizes and image using the GD add on for PHP.
Just a disclaimer: I know its not perfect, but i figured i would post it because the only other one on here is way confusing to some new PHP developers. Hopefully this one will help you learn how to use GD, and then you can write a better one.

Just a small snippet I discovered when I was tired writing somearrayname\[i\] I thought there was something like foreach in javascript but couldn't find any so why not make one?
For those foreach(){...} lovers.

Hope it makes your life easier.

With this function you can calculate the age of a person

Example:
echo "Age is: " . age("1984-07-05");

Result will be (23 Feb 2005) = "Age is: 20"
