First of all, I'd like to explain this blog is meant to archive coding solutions which were difficult to come by, or which I came up with myself, both to refer back to them later, and to share with fellow coders.

I'll start off with some resources I used to make this blog:
Syntax highlighting: http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/
PHP: php.net

If you'd like to view the source code you can email me, see the CONTACT page.
