There's a bunch of things I need to get up here, but I guess we'll just do this one piece at a time. Mailto links. Here's some basic formats to get certain fields prefilled: with cc: field: mailto:name@domain.com?cc=ccname@domain.com with bcc: field: mailto:name@domain.com?bcc=bccname@domain.com with subject field: mailto:name@domain.com?subject=tell%20me%20something%20nice (side note: use %20 for spaces) with text in […]

Last night in my freelance work, I hit the "A-HA" moment on three seperate issues I'd be fighting with for a long time. Probably simple concepts to some people, but they were a bit of struggle for me. I just wanted to make a note (partially to myself) about what I learned, so I don't […]

Since my site (domesticat.net) is skinned, I use PHP to test for a handful of browsers that require certain types of skins. In practice, this points lynx browsers to the lynx skin, and the PDA-type browsers to the ultralight skin. Zalary (of everythingfalls.com) emailed me this morning to let me know that I'd made a […]

There was a problem with one of the script I'd posted (I think we actually found a different way altogether of doing it) but it was an issue with $PHP_SELF when used in a file that gets included – it ends up showing the name of the INCLUDED file (not the current url). Just for […]

I've needed these so many times I've lost count. So I don't need to dig to find them again, here are a few html special characters and how to make them: © – © ® – ® ™ – ™ » – » « – « … – … · – · • – • […]

Don't know if you'd noticed or not, but bloglet hadn't been sending out notices of new posts here. After months(?) of going in and trying to figure out what I had set up wrong… and even emailing the author of bloglet… I finally re-read the instructions… You know the old saying, when all else fails; […]

I was just working on implementing this credit card validation script . I had been working with a similar version that was on devarticles.com and the script they have there did NOT work. (The one I linked DOES work!) In any case, I noticed in the one that didn't work, the author was declaring a […]

Just thought I'd put this up here for anyone else… if you're UPGRADING to MT 2.5 – and you were previously using MT-Search… It isn't actually mentioned in the upgrade instructions themselves… but you will need to do a few extra (albeit) easy steps to get search working again. Just look in the REGULAR instructions […]

I've been having a problem for a long time setting cookies on Netscape. This morning, with some downtime on my hands I finally figured out what the deal was. It was this comment in the PHP manual that finally turned the light on for me: Netscape cookie spec says that you need to specify a […]

This is really for Web Admins, but someone may be interested… This is kinda in response to a posting on Jenn's site, but if anyone out there works at all with Apache, do yourself a favor and learn how to use the Virtual Host tags in the httpd.conf file. You can avoid so many "low […]
