HTML Purifier (#)
HTML Purifier is quickly going to find it's way into our third party scripts: HTML Purifier is a standards-compliant HTML filter library written in PHP.
Have a play with the demo, where you can see that not only does it remove malicious code, but it can correct sloppy code, auto link urls and sort out deprecated tags among other things. Check out how it stacks up to other filters...
PHPSlideShow (#)
Juat as the title says, PHP Slideshow has a whole whack of features and three different demos:
Scriptaculous Lists with PHP (#)
A PHP class that - along with a little Javascript - builds drag and drop sortable lists (or anything). The demo page is quite slick, and the code is available for downloading.
PHP XML Library (#)
For some reason, this script worked when Minixml bonked, and for that reason alone it's a nice one to have in your library.
FPDF - PHP class for generating PDF files (#)
There are a few PHP PDF classes out there for people who don't have access to PHP's PDFlib.
While others threw errors right out of the box, I found FPDF to be the easiest to get going and for building PDF files on the fly with PHP.
htmlSQL - a PHP class to query the web by an SQL like language (#)
The title kinda says it all, but seriously head over to the site and check out the demo to see for yourself. A class that allows you to extract data from html by using an sql like query! I have no idea where this will be useful, but now that I know it exists I'm sure something will come up.
zFeeder (#)
Currently powering dont meet your heroes, zFeeder is a PHP aggregator or feedreader that parses xml files and outputs formatted content.
It supports all versions of RSS (0.9, 0.9x, 1.0 and 2.0).
Charts with PHP and Google Charts API (#)
I haven't spent any time looking at the Google Charts API, however this little class - which aims to provide a simple and lite charting solution in PHP - looks like a good place to start before diving into the whole API. While I haven't looked at the code, the result allows you to quickly build simple charts and pop them into your site or application. Very nice if you are in need of a quick solution.
phpOpenTracker - Tracking & traffic analysis tool (#)
From the site: phpOpenTracker is a framework solution for the analysis of website traffic and visitor analysis... It features a logging engine that, either invoked as a web-bug by a HTML
tag or embedded with two lines of code into your PHP application, logs each request to a website into a database. One installation of phpOpenTracker can track an arbitrary number of web-sites.
PHP Calendar script (#)
A great looking little PHP based calendar script built by Keith Devens. Given the year and month it will output a calendar for that month, and given date data thru an array, it can link individual days and add styles to the date.
PHP Markdown (#)
Michel Fortin's PHP port of John Gruber's Markdown. Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool that allows you to write in plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
PHP SmartyPants (#)
Michel Fortin's PHP port of John Gruber's SmartPants. From the site: PHP SmartyPants is a free web publishing tool that translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into “smart� typographic punctuation HTML entities.
PathStats, a plugin for ShortStat (#)
Building on Shaun Inman's ShortStat, this plugin will show the complete detail of the last n users including their path through your website. A nice little add-on for Shortstat.
How to create thumbnails with PHP and gd. (#)
From the site:
This small article will explain how you create a thumbnail from an image in PHP. Furthermore you learn how to batch process a whole folder of images and create their thumbnails.
MailFeed (#)
From the site: MailFeed is a PHP script that checks a POP3, IMAP, or NNTP mailbox on demand and returns an RSS feed containing the messages in the mailbox (including message bodies, if desired).
I haven't tried this out yet, but on the surface it seems like a neat idea, however: If you decide to pass your username and password via URL parameters, be forewarned that this is a security risk.
worries me a bit. It would appear that these details can also be set somewhere in the source code.
Highlight Source Code in Your PHP Application (#)
From the site: If you run a Website about programming, chances are that you display source code on your site's pages. Wouldn't it be great if the source code was highlighted
.
Author Stoyan Stefanov goes on to outline two methods, one with simple PHP built in functions and another using a PEAR package.
Cake PHP framework (#)
I have yet to dig into it (and I sooo will), but this looks hot for PHP dev types: Cake is a framework for PHP, based on Rails.
. Rails is based on the Model View Controller (MVC) idea, which I like to try to use.
While it appears to only have been around for 6 days (at the time of this post), this looks very, very interesting.
Freetag - an Open Source Tagging /Folksonomy PHP Class (#)
Described as an Open Source Tagging / Folksonomy module for PHP/MySQL applications
, it consists largely of a PHP class that can be hooked into existing applications, adding on the ability to tag items.
Used on Upcoming.org, the code is well commented and the zip package is well documented too.
PHP Trackback (#)
This should be a useful class for people who are rolling their own weblog scripts. A PHP class with TrackBack capabilites, including pinging of trackback URIs, receive trackbacks from other clients and seed pages for auto-discovery. The class also extracts links from a given string and can search these links for trackback URIs.
The PHP Metadata Toolkit (#)
I've been trying to get together something like this myself: The PHP JPEG Metadata Toolkit is a library of functions which allows manipulation of many types of metadata that reside in a JPEG image file.
Now maybe I won't have to!
Incutio Limited : Be Inspired (#)
