MeasureIt for Firefox
April 11th, 2009
MeasureIt is an extension for Firefox that allows you, the broswer user, to measure any area of your screen. It helps greatly if you are a web designer creating a webpage. I have used it to get exact mesurements of a banner or picture. The units are measured in pixals and are displayed as you drag your mouse over an area. The extension can be download from the Firefox Add-on page or by clicking here.

Switch Statement
March 4th, 2009
A PHP switch statement is almost like an IF statement except it is good to use a switch statement when you want to compare many results on the same variable.
Example with integer.
<?php
switch ($i):
case 0:
echo “i = 0″;
break;
case 1:
echo “i = 1″;
break;
case 2:
echo “i = 2″;
break;
default:
echo “i is not equal to 0, 1 or 2″;
endswitch;
?> Example with a string.
<?php
switch ($i) {
case “eagle:
echo “i is eagle”;
break;
case “hawk”:
echo “i is hawk”;
break;
case “blue jay”:
echo “i is blue jay”;
break;
}
?>How do I create PHP Functions()
March 3rd, 2009
There are over 700 functions available in php and below I will show you how to create you own function. Functions all start with the word function(). Here are some things to remember
- name your functions based on what a function does
- { start your function
- put your code
- } end your function
- call your function
<?php function fullname($firstname){ // Start your function with an appropriate function name
// Put your code
$last_name = “Smith”;
$full_name= $first_name . ” ” . $last_name;
return $full_name;
} // end your function
<?PHP echo fullname(Joe); ?> //Calling this function will display Joe Smith
How do I explode/implode a string in asp.net
March 2nd, 2009
So you want to separate your string using explode or join your string using implode in vb.net? Explode/implode are functions of the php environment and do not exist in asp.net therefore you must use the split() function to get your results for explode and join() for implode.
Split() Example
mystring = “hello;sir;how are you”;
Result
arrayData(0) would equal “hello”
arrayData(1) would equal “sir”
arrayDate(2) would equal “how are you”
Join() Example
Dim JoinArray(3)
JoinArray(0) = "Welcome"
JoinArray(1) = "to"
JoinArray(2) = "Web Infinite"
Dim strSentence as String
strSentence = join(JoinArray)
Result
strSentence would equal to “Welcome to Web Infinite”
