This function creates relatively secure random passwords. It's by no means ideal, but it should work in most non-critical situations. The nice thing is the generator attempts to create passwords that people can pronounce and chooses letters that won't be mistaken for others (such as the numeral "1", an upper-case "i" and a lower-case "L"). To keep the code short much of this functionality is very rudimentary, but it's better than nothing.

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 function makes URLs in a given text clickable, and shorts down the link text if it's length is over the specified one. (Like vBulletin, etc... does)


PS:
Please explain negative votes, they're pointless otherwise...

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.

I've seen XML 2 Array functions done in other ways but this is the shortest implementation I've seen yet. I didnt write it myself though, but I thought I'd submit it for common good of this site. It uses regex and works prefectly.

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).

Ok, another thumbnail PHP function. This function support resize of JPEG and GIF, and resize with aspect ratio (set $THUMBX=0 if you wish it is resized with the Height, $THUMBY=0 if blah blah blah, you get the point)
