I’m always forgetting the syntax for the jQuery ‘document ready’ event. Which is an embarrassment because it’s so simple:
$( document ).ready( handler ) $().ready( handler ) (this is not recommended) $( handler )
I used to use the $( document ).ready( handler ) syntax, but starting today I use the $( handler ) syntax.
Today I used the Datepicker for Bootstrap. I grabbed the files from the CDN.
Found a list of HTML Singleton Tags, the tags that don’t require a closing tag.
Using PHP Output Buffering Control…
Today I queried the $_SERVER[ ‘SERVER_PROTOCOL’ ] value in PHP to determine the HTTP version used by the request.
Today I needed to figure out how to read some data from a URL that required HTTP Basic Auth. The solution was pretty simple, use file_get_contents and pass in a configured stream context. I found the following code on the stream_context_create documentation:
$cred = sprintf( 'Authorization: Basic %s',
base64_encode( 'username:password' )
);
$opts = array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'GET',
'header' => $cred
)
);
$ctx = stream_context_create( $opts );
$data = file_get_contents( $url, false, $ctx );
Easy-peasy!
You can convert an IP address to an int, and vice versa, with these two MySQL functions. Of course I learned about this after I’d already implemented IP address support using BINARY(4) and my own parser/formatter… now that I have my own implementation I can’t bring myself to let it go, and I worry about support for signed/unsigned 32-bit ints (perhaps my concerns are unfounded..?)
Today I added the Robots <META> tag with noindex, nofollow to my HTML error documents.
Today I learned about headers_list and http_response_code… yay! :)
Today I installed the Open in Browser Firefox extension which lets me open files in Firefox rather than having to download them… handy!
