Replacing text in MySQL text fields
Posted on April 19th, 2010 No commentsI didn’t even think you could do this: UPDATE table SET something = REPLACE ( something , 'oldtext' , 'newtext' ) ; How handy! For replacing text in MySQL tables that is… not for anything else really.

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' ] ) ?

New House & Growing Freyja
Posted on January 31st, 2010 No commentsI haven’t done a “personal” update for some time now, so I thought I’d briefly brush over our recent lives. The photo you can see on the left is the current state of our new house that is being built in the new Dickens Quarter development in Portsmouth

Buy a Lexus – Blind Your Fellow Road Users
Posted on January 14th, 2010 No commentsEveryone who knows me will know that I am marginally prejudiced against people with expensive cars (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus etc.), but not entirely without cause. One of my niggles (pet hates if you will) about them is their unnecessarily dazzling headlights.

Job Requirements
Posted on November 25th, 2009 No commentsThis won’t have been the first time I’ve written about degrees … But I recently noticed a job posting for a server-side developer at Headscape , and in just the third sentence it already got my back up: We are looking for a graduate who is passionate about the web This sort of thing in job postings really annoy me. The notion that a degree makes a person better than someone with 3+ years of experience to me is a very narrow-minded way of thinking

Importing CSV into MySQL table
Posted on October 6th, 2009 No commentsA quick tip – you can import a CSV into a MySQL table pretty easily. The file must exist on the server and you must create the table first, but this command will import your CSV into a MySQL table easily: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/data.csv' INTO TABLE `data _ table` FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY ' n ' ;
