Gav's World

Acknowledgements

Even though I'm becoming a dab hand at PHP (or the simpler functions of PHP at least), I did call upon the World Wide Web to search out a few things for me. So, credit where credit is due. In no particular order, here are the credits that I must make for little snippets of code in the writing of this website software:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/

An invaluable resource of PHP - after all it's where PHP comes from. Not only is the on-line manual helpful, but various postings from people have helped. I never took note of individual pages that I've used - there are just too many to mention!

http://code.google.com/p/php-email-address-validation/

In order to validate the form of an e-mail address used in the Contact and Survey pages, I found this code. I had to modify it slightly so that PHP v4 could understand it (since PlusNet, my ISP only have it installed at time of writing). I basically turned it from a class into a function.

Digital-Ether

Who posted on daniweb which I found when trying to work out how to read a file into a string directly.

http://www.niblr.com/php-flat-file-search-script/

Which has a script written by Holger Eichert to perform a simple string search through text files.

http://www.thesitewizard.com/php/create-image.shtml

Which gave me pointers for generating GIF or PNG images directly from PHP using the GD library.

http://www.devpapers.com/article/61

Which gave me pointers in parsing XML files into PHP arrays.

http://jwloh.deviantart.com/art/Social-me-90694011

Which gave me the social bookmarking icons.

http://silktide.com/cookieconsent

Which gave me the Cookie Concent javascript.
