… Because there will be times in which you may want to include the contents of a php file into a variable.
function get_include_contents($filename) { if (is_file($filename)) { ob_start(); include $filename; $contents = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $contents; } return false; }I have edited my post to answer dave’s comment below.
By looking at this funciton you may think it’s just a substitute of file_get_contents().
The difference is that file_get_contents will return literaly the contents of the file, as opposed to get_include_contents that will actually run the code,
and because we are turning on output buffering, we can get the output of the script and store it in a string. For example if we have the php file ‘example.php’:echo 'The gamma laser toxic spill gave me powers';
file_get_contents will produce the following result:
$string = file_get_contents('example.php'); echo $string; // will output: echo 'The gamma laser toxic spill gave me powers';If we use get_include_contents() instead, it will produce the following result:
$string = get_include_contents('example.php'); echo $string; // will output: The gamma laser toxic spill gave me powersIf you are still thinking why would I want to do this, I will give you a real life example to ilustrate:
Lets assume that you have the following email template in a file template.php:
echo 'Dear Mr. ' . $params['name'] . ','; echo 'All your ' . $params['item'] . ' are belong to us!';
The function could then be extended to accept some paramaters that the template will need to have on scope:
function get_include_contents($filename, $params) { if (is_file($filename)) { ob_start(); include $filename; $contents = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $contents; } return false; }After that we can send an email using template.php like this:
$html_email = get_include_contents( 'example.php' array( 'name' =>; 'Satan', 'item' => 'Snakes' ) ); mail('someemail@blah.com', 'Subject', $html_email);The recipient of the email will have a message in his inbox saying:
Dear Mr. Satan, All your snakes are belong to us!

I’ve already been writing about how much i love fluid layouts in this post so i’ll be quick this time.
How to tranform the 6/9 fluidgrid system from newgoldleaf into an 18 columns one… ?
not a big deal,
but it’s always easier to find something to copy and paste, isn’t it?1) download fluidgrid system from newgoldleaf
2) add these lines of code into fluid.gs.css
3) enjoy!div.eighteen_column.section div.one {width:5%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.two {width:10%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.three {width:15%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.four {width:20%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.five {width:25%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.six {width:30%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.seven {width:35%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.eight {width:40%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.nine {width:45%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.ten {width:50%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.eleven {width:55%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.twelve {width:60%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.thirteen {width:65%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.fourteen {width:70%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.fifteen {width:75%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.sixteen {width:80%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.seventeen {width:85%;} div.eighteen_column.section div.eighteen {width:90%;} -

Do you need to use PEAR, but you are behind a proxy that requires authentication?
Use this command to set the correct values:pear config-set http_proxy http://username:password@proxyhost:port

One more way to slugify texts in php, without the need of the iconv() function:
public static function slugify($text) { $text = trim($text); $text = str_replace(".", "", $text); $text = self::removeAccents($text); // replace non letter or digits by - $text = preg_replace('~[^\\pL\d]+~u', '-', $text); // trim $text = trim($text, '-'); // lowercase $text = strtolower($text); // remove unwanted characters $text = preg_replace('~[^-\w]+~', '', $text); return $text; } public static function removeAccents($text) { $text = htmlentities(utf8_decode($text)); $remove = array("&", "acute", "grave", "circ", "tilde", "uml"); $text = str_replace($remove, "", $text); return $text; }Put it inside an Utils class, and use it like
$slug = Utils::slugify("nothingisclear is awesome");-

I really don’t remember if i’ve written this or took it from someone on the web (if you recognize it, please let me know, or just know that i didn’t want to steal it :) ).
Anyway today i was into slugs and i surprisingly found a php simple-and-working static method for converting strings into slugs and i felt like sharing it:
/** * PHP "iconv" REQUIRED !!! * @param object $string * @param object $space [optional] * @return */ public static function convertStringIntoSlug($string,$space="-") { if (function_exists('iconv')) { $string = @iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $string); } $string = strtolower(preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9 -]/","", $string)); $string = str_replace(" ", $space, $string); return $string; }here i’ve already wrote about a good jquery alternative (written by Leo Caseiro) for doing this

really good menu (filament group calls it “iPod style”) for showing hierarchical data (i’m using it for showing categories in a backEnd).
Needs couple of adjustments here and there….
if you’ve spotted a better one, please, let me know. -

a really good link for a jquery plugin to transform strings into slugs….also transforming accents, umlauts, and other special letters in the right way.
name of the plugin: jquery.stringToSlug.js (written by Leo Caseiro)
