It was a bit of a trick to find the DateInterval spec hidden away in the constructor doco, not the DateInterval class doco.
| Designator | Description |
|---|---|
| Y | years |
| M | months |
| D | days |
| W | weeks |
| H | hours |
| M | minutes |
| S | seconds |

PHP htmlentities encoding
I needed to know my options for htmlentities character encoding support today. The PHP documentation had everything I needed to know. I ended up adding these constants to my code:
const UTF8_ENCODING = 'UTF-8'; const ASCII_ENCODING = 'ISO-8859-1';

PHP file_get_contents with HTTP Basic Auth
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!
