I do a lot of work in PHP, which is definitely the most elegant language I've found for web-based apps, despite rudy's attempts to persuade me that ColdFusion is the way to go ;-) I also help out on various mailing lists and find I'm posting the same sort of code over and over again - hence this page, where I can get away with only posting code snippets once.
A note on comment style: Every line of this code is commented. I don't recommend this as a standard practice (I prefer the "state your intentions before you begin, then clarify anything obtuse as you go" school of thought), but it seems to reduce the number of questions I get.
Code snippets
Assorted bits and pieces of code, which you are free to use as you wish.
- Convert seconds to h:m:s
- Date <select>
- Date convertors
- Generate random password
- Get remote IP address
- List files in a directory
- Month <select>
- Random email addresses
If you find any of this useful, or you have problems running it, please let me know. It makes a change from the spam :-)
