How to visualise your webserver logs as a map of user progression through your site content
Posted on March 8th, 2010 No commentsI love web stats and for a long time now (last 4 years or so) I have been analysing web stats with Google Analytics, which is probably one of the best apps for assessing basic stats (provided the web browser being used support javascript). For the most accurate stats I also use AWStats (which has provided great results for the last 7 years) Within the last year or two I have also employed the use of ClickTale for the analysis of user interaction

Question: How does source control work in a non-distributed environment?
Posted on February 5th, 2010 No commentsAt our company we currently all work on one shared network drive. The source code is not under any kind of source control, which for me is a big no-no. I’d love to be able to set up SVN and us all work of separate repositories and just commit back to a trunk or branch, but our tech manager doesn’t agree.

MySQL gotcha when using non-compulsory foreign keys
Posted on January 27th, 2010 No commentsI’m just writing a query at the moment that filters out test records from a database. These records have a foreign-keyed value that identifies test apps, e.g. a table with: id name 1 TEST 2 ANOTHER_VALUE 3 SOMETHING_ELSE This is joined onto the main data table, sensibly with a query like this: SELECT * FROM the_data LEFT JOIN the_values ON the_data.some_value = the_values.id WHERE the_values.name != 'TEST' The gotcha is however, that this doesn’t work as you’d expect

Importance of User Agents
Posted on December 9th, 2009 No commentsWhen you write something that connects to a web server, what user agent do you use? Far too often have I seen things like: curl_setopt ( $c , CURLOPT_USERAGENT , "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)" ) ; In my opinion you should always use a nice descriptive user agent that explains to the server exactly what your client may be trying to achieve, or at least a unique identifier

ctype_digit rtfm!
Posted on October 23rd, 2009 No commentsFor the last 5-10 minutes I've been wondering why a check on a variable which should be valid has been returning false. The check is ctype_digit, which returns true if all characters in a string are digits.
