"Add Another" - jQuery Plugin
Posted by Michael on 17/07/2010 00:02
Following from one of my earlier posts, "Add another ... with PHP and jQuery", I decided to create a jQuery plugin to make future implementations of this feature easier. This is my first jQuery plugin, and I was pleasantly surprised at how simple it was to create one, the documentation was very helpful.

Sudo Shell Commands via PHP - for "One Click" sysadmin tasks
Posted by Michael on 20/05/2010 14:53
Regular readers of this blog may remember that I've previously setup a number of scripts to automate processes such as provisioning a new hosting account, and deploying a site from code within version control. The drawback to these approaches is that they require root access and a shh access. We've got some projects in the pipeline where we need to do such tasks from a web browser, either by submitting a form or clicking a button. I've recently found a way to do this from the browser.

Generating Getters and Setters with PHP
Posted by Michael on 05/05/2010 18:03
In Eclipse, there is (or at least way) a feature to automatically generate getter and setter methods within a class. I use PHPEclipse, and that feature isn't available, and it really annoyed me. After some searching I stumbled upon an online tool, where you paste your variables in, and it generates the code, however, each getter/setter was on a single line, with no comments pre-populated above them, so I've written my own.

Add another ... with PHP and jQuery
Posted by Michael on 22/04/2010 14:52
There have been quite a few situations where I've been developing a website, and on a form needed the option to add another set of fields, for example creating an invoice - after completing the fields for the first item on the invoice, you might want to add some more.
After searching the web for possible solutions, I decided to come up with my own, and today, I thought I'd share that.

Following last weeks release of a PHP Pagination Class to make pagination easier, today I'm releasing a simple, free, PHP Mortgage Calculator class. This is based off some work I did over a year ago, just cleaned up and polished for public consumption.

Making Pagination Easier
Posted by Michael on 14/04/2010 17:45
Pagination is one of those repetetive tasks which developers hate to do. Quite a while ago I made a nice function to handle most of my pagination tasks, and return an array of data I could do something with, to make things easier developing at work. More recently, I've improved this into a nice little object of its own, which I've modified slightly for release here.
