Since OS X brought Unix into my everyday life I’ve been fascinated by command line text editing. Mainly for remote tweaks and working directly on the server. However, the more I learn about vim the more I like it… vim is one powerful little editor. This is actually my second exploration into vim but I’ve [...]

So, I ended up on a project that required a lot of mail notifications to be sent so I went ahead and whipped up a class for sending emails via PHP. They didn’t have to be pretty to start off with so this is merely a plain text email class at the moment. HTML and [...]

Yep, the script needed updating already. I left out a routine in the arrayAssoc and arrayNum functions to account for an empty result set. So if you’ve downloaded it, grab this new version here. Did anyone actually download and use the first one?

Being a self taught php programmer I tend to learn something every time I run accross an article outlining different techniques. Lately I’ve been learning about references. At first I thought "so what?" at the thought of using a reference to a variable instead of the variable itself. But once I thought about it some [...]

I’ve been playing more and more with the php exec command to do stuff – I got my first taste of doing this with running htDig as a command and pulling its results into an array. So I decided to find out if using exec to do directory listing would save any script length or [...]

Regular expressions have always been (and will most likely continue to be) a challenge to construct. This site is using a system for parsing bb code in the posts that I swore to generate myself and am only permitting myself to seek help on it when I’m absolutely stuck. I guess that’s why it is [...]
