Living on del.icio.us this morning. Some more finds:

Also available is a "jr." version:

A script and article (about the script's implementation) of a nice login system.

Another find from del.icio.us:

PHP/SWF Charts
Give it some data and it can generate SWF charts for you on the fly – with many customizable attributes.

Someone at work sent me the link to this:

phpThumb()
Looks like an interesting way to handle thumbnail generations on the fly. As described on that page:

phpThumb() uses the GD library to create thumbnails from images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, etc) on the fly. The output size is configurable (can be larger or smaller than the source), and the source may be the entire image or only a portion of the original image. True color and resampling is used if GD v2.0+ is available, otherwise paletted-color and nearest-neighbour resizing is used.

(updated to add an additional link)
Poking around on del.icio.us, I also found this link for dynamic thumbnail generation:

Dynamic Thumbnailing with Imagemagick in PHP

I've been trying to figure out a better way to notify people when a plugin is updated. At the moment I've just been leaving a comment in the post – so those who are subscribed to comments, get "notified". Seems now there's a better way:

up2date
From the looks of it, it seems like if I support this plugin in my plugins, it will notify users of my plugins when I make an update. I'll look into this further, and if it makes sense I'll support it.

Haven't read the whole article, but wanted to save the link for when I had more time:

Simple Tricks for More Usable Forms [JavaScript & DHTML Tutorials]
What I did read so far, looked very interesting and seemed like something I'd want to reference again.

I was running into a problem with undefined index errors. You'll get that if you do seomthing like:

echo $_GET['name'];

when there is no $_GET['name']. One option is to check to make sure $_GET['name'] is set like

if (isset($_GET['name'])) {
echo $_GET['name'];
}

But if you're feeling lazy, you can leave your code as is and just add this at the top of your file

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

Alternatively, turning off those notices is a setting you can adjust in .ini file, but if you don't have access to that file, then just putting that error_reporting line in your code will suffice

I'm going to add this to my tutorials post, but wanted to make a special post highlighting it too.
