It's usually a bad idea to allow php include files to be directly accessed. My general method is to either declare a constant in the index.php and check for that constant in the included file or make sure that the included file doesn't match $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].
Sure, either of those work. But I [...]
Needed a way to add a CSS file with JavaScript, so I went out a-Googling like I normally do. Problem is everything I found either worked in Internet Explorer and not in FireFox or the other way around. Nothing I found worked in both. So I hacked together a function of my own. Should have [...]
Had a client getting this error when trying to send emails last week and have now spent several hours on Google trying to find a solution.
Biggest catch is that other scripts were able to send mail, so it seemed unlikely that it was the host. So I took the phpMailer class and uploaded it [...]
Needed a quick and easy way to create a bit.ly URL for another site of mine. Google came through for me.
David Walsh posted a short PHP function on his site that takes your bit.ly login, API key, and the URL to shorten and returns a nice, short bit.ly link.

Working on web apps I find myself using the print_r command a lot, and I mean a lot. It helps trace out what data is going where, and more often what's not going where it's supposed to.
A few months ago I realized that I type this same bit of code way too often.

How did I not try this before today?
My normal method of needing two files open was to have the one I'm working on in Netbeans and the other in Notepad++ on separate monitors. Turns out you can drag the tab of an open file outside of Netbeans and it becomes its own window.
We're going to [...]
For the better part of the last couple of days I've been trying to figure out why Safari was not allowing me to click on links. Aside from an annoyance, it's not good to have clients complaining...
Sometimes IE just irritates me. Ok, pretty much anytime I'm working on a web site. Especially when it involves Javascript or DOM.
For the past couple of hours I've been scouring the internet looking for a solution to the prototype method setStyle not working in IE8. I was getting an 'Object [...]
