If, like me, you find yourself doing lots of random web stuff, particularly with all the HTML, CSS, MySQL, and PHP that go along with it, you may find yourself looking for a good reference book so you can quickly check the syntax of that one thing you only use like once a year and [...]

After implementing other pages that used WordPress to authenticate users and deal with access control, I went to move these pages off to a subdomain, and suddenly found that auth_redirect wasn’t quite working right. When auth_redirect is called and doesn’t find a logged-in user, it redirects to login and passes the URI of the current [...]

Since I’ve already hit on SQL injection issues twice in the past two days (here directly and here indirectly through the non-issue with WP and SQL injection), why not add a cartoon to the mix…
Right, of course, I should be doing this already, but having magic quotes in PHP4 may hvae made me a bit lazy in some instances, and just like I’ve been going through and fixing register_globals dependence… As I read here, Both register_globals and Magic Quotes were implemented in PHP to help beginners who were learning [...]
To the best of my knowledge and research, my LJ-code-base Site Statistics page (lj-stat) has the most comprehensive list of sites running off of LiveJournal’s codebase (if you know of any that I’ve missed, please let me know). The main point, though, is the comparative statistics. This is where things get strange. LJ and most [...]

Plenty of people seem to have written a lot about how to make WordPress use some other program’s user authentication mechanism, but there seems to be fairly little on how to get at WordPress’s user authentication from some other program. Fortunately, I found this article, and got what I wanted. It’s a fairly straight-forward process. [...]

Recently (yesterday? today?), a hosting provider I inhereted when I took over a web site decided to add a CAPTCHA to their login page. That is, every time I want to log in to their control panel, I have to do their CAPTCHA, which is one of the harder ones to read that I’ve seen. [...]
A few weeks ago, I upgraded my primary server to some version of php5 (from php4). It’s been some time since I moved from php3 to php4 (even though I still have some files with a .php3 extension), but I don’t remember it being a huge change. I upgraded because there was some small feature [...]
I’ve started to get really into using Google Calendar and it works all fine and dandy on my desktop (multiple large monitors), but when I get to my smaller laptop screen it’s hrd to see more than an event or two per day in the 4-week view (especially since I keep my browser window small-ish). [...]
