This function simply splits a file based on the splitter supplied and returns an array with the values. It's pretty much like the file() function. This script could be helpful in section editings.

Over the summer, I worked on a project in which I needed to parse logfiles which were in the following format:

IP|USE|TIME>IP2|USE2|TIME2>

and so on.

When I parsed them to display the log file in a user-friendly fashion, I used the following code:

A simple page hits counter that uses a single cookie to tell the user how many times they have visited the page.

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.

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

Recursively checks for all *.php and *.tpl files in the directory specified (or the current directory if one is not specified) and runs `php -l $file`. Only outputs the errors.

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.

This code, working with MovableType, creates a tag cloud of tags entered into the keyword field of a blog entry. You can see the results and read my write-up which explains some other things that help with MovableType and tag clouds. I got this code from Al-Muhajabah and made a few minor tweaks.
