Moving to Linux – Finding Alternative Software
Posted on June 10th, 2010 No commentsI’ve been using Linux on servers for years, since before I started learning to code. Finally, after something like 7/8 years I am almost fully confident in severing the ties to my highly underused Windows installation on my personal laptop, but there are still a couple of exceptions

isset fail
Posted on April 8th, 2010 No commentsSrsly PHP, why can’t I do this: $value = isset ( $myGPCWrapper -> Get ( "value" ) ) ? $myGPCWrapper -> Get ( "value" ) : $default ; Resulting in this: Fatal error : Can’t use method return value in write context in /path/to/my/script.php on line 21 And instead I have to do this: $foo = $myGPCWrapper -> Get ( "value" ) ; $value = isset ( $foo ) ? $foo : $default ; or $value = isset ( $_GET [ 'value' ] ) ?

Microsoft Browser Choice Update
Posted on February 24th, 2010 No commentsSo the “Microsoft Browser Choice Screen Update For EEA Users” has arrived in my list of potential updates. Interestingly though, Microsoft have not selected this update by default. That might put a dampener on Opera’s big day…

Handling CType Data With SimpleXML in PHP
Posted on January 15th, 2010 No commentsIf you're new to SimpleXML then the output and representation of complex XML data produced by the library can be daunting and sometimes confusing, but once you're used to it, SimpleXML is a massively useful tool for processing XML information. When debugging other people's implementations of simpleXML however, one of the biggest issues I come across time and again is the apparent loss of CType data from the processed feed. Luckily this is very easily remedied, but not well documented so here's how to deal with it.

Styling the The TinyMCE Text Area
Posted on January 4th, 2010 No commentsThey guys who produce TinyMCE suggest, when initialising the editor, that you set the content_css parameter to be the url to your site’s CSS, so that the content you type into the text area is styled in the same way as the rest of your site.

Override style=”..” using external CSS
Posted on September 12th, 2009 No commentsOn my blog I use a plugin called Social Homes , which gives me the favicon of each social site I’m a member of and a link to my profile on each site on the top left hand corner. However the default style is that the icons are left aligned and the margin is a little bit too big. I tried putting an override in my styles.css: div .socialhomes { margin-top : -5px ; text-align : center ; } However, inline styles (i.e

HTML email with images broken in Windows Live Hotmail and Firefox
Posted on July 6th, 2009 No commentsIf you’ve ever had to design/build HTML emails for work or fun or whatever, you might have run into a bit of an issue getting your email to display consistently in the multitude of email clients out there. I tend to just test my emails in Gmail, Outlook, Windows Live Hotmail and occasionally Mac Mail. I used to only test in Windows Live Hotmail using IE as I was resigned to the fact that it never worked properly in Firefox – until now! I finally got hassled into finding a solution for the only issue we had left – a 3 or 4 pixel gap appearing in between all the images
