pChart – a PHP class to build charts

One of the best PHP classes to create beautifull charts with! If you see this you wish you had more clients demanding charts in their applications. You need PHP with GD compiled to be able to use this.

pChart is a PHP class oriented framework designed to create aliased charts. Most of todays chart libraries have a cost, our project is intended to be free. Data can be retrieved from SQL queries, CSV files, or manually provided.

Wanted: Layout System

by Paul H. under links

Wanted: Layout System

Eric Meyer elaborates on why we need a better layout mechanism for web content (whether it be via CSS or not). We know we shouldn't use tables for layout. Floats are a hack, positioning is flawed, and display:table-cell is no better than using a table itself. But Eric explains here why table behavior works moderately well for layout:
… this is why the old “only use tables for layout” argument keeps coming up over and over: strip away the overheated rhetoric and obvious link-baiting, and you find the core of a real need. Because as powerful as CSS can be, table cells do certain things very easily that CSS makes very, very hard. Cells stretch vertically, keeping equal heights as a matter of their intrinsic nature. They stay out of each others’ way, while still being allowed to sit next to each other and use any sizing dimensions. They tie their layout to their parent elements, and vice versa.

How To: Hackintosh a Dell Mini 9 Into the Ultimate OS X Netbook

How To: Hackintosh a Dell Mini 9 Into the Ultimate OS X Netbook

A very good how-to about how you can convert a Dell Mini 9 into the perfect Mac OS X netbook. Something I definitely want to try someday!

There are a lot of netbooks on which you can install and run OS X, but if you're mindful of the handy comparison chart those lads at Boing Boing Gadgets have compiled, you'll know that the Mini 9 is about as ideal a platform as you'll find for a Hackintosh ultraportable: Everything from wi-fi, sound and the function keys down to the optional integrated mobile broadband card and the SD card reader are supported and work as they should. No hardware compromises at all. It's awesome.

10 Ways to Improve Your Web Page Performance

10 Ways to Improve Your Web Page Performance

“Why focus on front-end performance? The front-end (i.e. your HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images) is the most accessible part of your website. If you’re on a shared web hosting plan, you might not have root (or root-like) access to the server and therefore can’t tweak and adjust server settings. And even if you do have the right permissions, web server and database engineering require specialized knowledge to give you any immediate benefits”

Kohana auth module a better one? download here!

by Martijn van de Sande under entry

Well.. kohana’s auth module is fine, but it does not work for me…
We programmers just want something we fully understand and most of the time we just write something ourselfs instead of using things that other programmers made.

That’s why i made my own auth module ( used lot of kohana’s auth module ), and i think that everyone could use this one..
The use is very simple, and the code is very easy to understand and extentable.

DOWNLOAD
includes:
-auth module
-sql script

The code works just fine… and when u take a look at the code you will see alot of different kind of databases handling. That is one of the learning curves here for you guys.

Take a look at the database (mysql workbench screenshot):

Download youtube video’s: build your own video grabber/downloader in php with curl

by Martijn van de Sande under entry

And again i searched the internet for some “easy” script to grab/download youtube movies to my own server.
I failed! So wrote my own.

Let me explain the steps or jump over to the VERY short working code:

First step we need to do 3 things:

*1: make a request to youtube for getting the required data
*2: make a second request to really get the .FLV file
*3: save the data to a file

*1: make a request to the url, in this case it is:

(just grabbed a url dont look at the content of it :) )
