Wanted to share this. PHP for colors when you write in CLI.

(This pages contains a few weird characters like kanjis that may not display properly on your computer. Don’t worry, it’s not essential to the text) (J’ai mis ce texte dans la version française aussi par flemme de le traduire. Vous y arriverez, allez-y !) Unicode is the future (even the present), but please, not in…

I love PHP, but when it comes to consistency, it sucks very very very hard. I’m tired of going to the (very very good) php.net site to check functions arguments and order and such, so now, all what I usually check will be here. Nothing here is « complete ». My goal isn’t to make a doc,…

Backuping data is real easy (with linux). I use three different ways: For a data base BDD : mysqldump [cnx infos] |gzip > backupbdd.sql.gz For not too numerous files, which data is important, like configuration ones: tar czvf yoyobackup.tar.gz dafiles/ For files I want to access easily and/or numerous : rsync -av me/ othercomputer:me/ In…

While making Geek’s World, I often change the text at the last moment. As a result, the content of the .psd file was more accurate than the text in the database. Plus, I also used to translate from English to French directly in photoshop. And as I want to display the text on my webpage…

But, you’ll get the display of the percentage of progress of the script and the time that is probably remaining. Example. You have a script doing 20,000 times about the same thing. You want to know…

Be careful, this is the translation of two French articles and it’s long. Today we will be writing time in a way that is comfortable for a human reader. Who want to read, « Only 0h 00mn 18s left » at the end of a count that began an hour ago? Before, strftime() was enough. Now, time…

This is a short, non-interesting article about a translation system. Nothing new or original here. I put here because my next article will use it and it’ll be a very long one. I a few month, I’m gonna talk a lot about translation. I’ve made many things about it, especially for automatic translations. Here, it’s…

This is not the only solution to know if your website got dead links. For example, Awstats will tell you them too, but only from on site at the time. Also, online dead link finders are you friends, like W3C Link Checker. My solution works directly on the server, and also find the errors that…
