Useful snippets.
These are some of the function, classes and useful arrays I use most.
Code:
function refresh($strURL = NULL){
$page = ($strURL == NULL)?$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']:$strURL;
if(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) != $strURL){
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url='.$page.'">';
}
}
function toString($str){
echo '<br /><pre>';
print_r($str);
echo '</pre>';
}
function makeSafe($dangerous){
$dangerous = trim($dangerous);
$dangerous = htmlspecialchars($dangerous);
return $dangerous;
}
function addQuote($string){
return '"'.$string.'"';
}
function showErrors($arErrors){
$dispErrors = '';
if(is_array($arErrors)){
if(count($arErrors) > 0){
foreach($arErrors as $error){
$dispErrors .= '<li>'.$error.'</li>';
}
return '<ul id="errors">'.$dispErrors.'</ul>';
}else{
return false;
}
}else{
if($arErrors != ''){
$dispErrors .= '<li>'.$arErrors.'</li>';
return '<ul id="errors">'.$dispErrors.'</ul>';
}else{
return false;
}
}
}
class mailer{
var $to = "";
var $subject = "";
var $message = "";
var $fromName = "";
var $fromEmail = "";
var $replyEmail = "";
var $header = "";
var $type = "text/html";
var $characterSet = "ISO-8859-1";
function send(){
$this->createHeader();
if (@mail($this->to,$this->subject,$this->message,$this->header)){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
function createHeader(){
$from = "From: $this->fromName <$this->fromEmail>\r\n";
$replay = "Reply-To: $this->replyEmail\r\n";
$params = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$params .= "Content-type: $this->type; charset=$this->characterSet\r\n";
$this->header = $from.$replay.$params;
return $this->header;
}
}
/*

Some useful functions there. We were actually considering having a section on TalkPHP so everybody could bring their functions together into one huge library. We might reconsider that now we've re-coded TalkPHP!

that would be a cool idea 'talkPHP php libary' or somthing, some good snippets there m8.
Heres a little script i found a few years ago whilst messing with Zend Studio, i found it in the 'snippets' section, its quite interesting and (for me anyway) abit of a brain teaser to understand whats goin on
Just to note i DID NOT write this script, i don't want credit, the guy who wrote this should get credit (although he hasn't provided any information apart from his online alias 'bigmweb') i just thought u guys would find it interesting.
its a funny, when i showed it to my friend he said 'there has to be some form of witch craft involved, it must have something to do with the black arts' to a certain point i agree, although i do know understand how it works (i think  )
basically it converts a string to a barcode (well as close to a barcode as your goin to get in php) and its 2 way, as the guy says in his commenting he personally uses it to pretty up his session id's, but im sure there are other uses.

Very different. How does it assist in prettifying the session ID, though? To be honest, I'd rather see hexadecimal values than that, but it's certainly an interesting concept.

Yea im not sure of the point in supposedly prettying up the session id's personally i think it makes them look cumbersome.
