How I Turned my Linksys WRT54G Router into a Client

digifuzz — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:42:16 +0000

The other day I was putting together a computer for my 2.75 year old son (he loves video games, and I desperately wanted sole ownership of my computer again). I decided to put it in our bedroom, hooked up to our 42" Sony Trinitron for all of his Super Mario extravaganzas. While putting [...]

Suckerfish Style Menus in Drupal 6.x

digifuzz — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:11:47 +0000

I spent hours and hours hunting around for a simple solution to implementing suckerfish-style drop-down menus in Drupal 6. Lo-and-behold, I couldn't find one. Every solution out there was overly complicated, and didn't quite do what I wanted it to. After a few hours of hacking around, this is the solution I came up [...]

On-The-Fly Dynamic Thumbnails with PHP

digifuzz — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:43:33 +0000

I hate thumbnails. There. I've said it. Well... I suppose hate is a strong word... but I seriously strongly dislike them. I guess it's not the thumbnails themselves I hate... it's the extra work involved. Open up the image, crop, resize, save, upload, not right? rinse, lather, repeat until [...]

PHP/Javascript File Uploader

digifuzz — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 14:46:32 +0000

Recently one of our clients was in need of the ability to upload files to their webserver. This was easily accomplished with PHP's built in functionality. But the draw back to this approach was that end-user had little or no indication that anything was happening. Now we all know what happens. Typical scenario: [...]

digifuzz — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 03:53:26 +0000

So we're back on the topic of SQL Injection, and how to prevent them with PHP. This subject, while often discussed, is not taken as seriously as it should be by many a web-developer, whether it be because of laziness, or merely due to lack of knowledge. Assuming the latter is the most [...]

The Lie of the Century

I didn't write this article, so I don't take credit for it.. But I felt it was something that everyone should read... and seeing as how it was released in the public domain, I'm posting it here for your reading enjoyment. You know, it's one thing to keep secrets from the general population for [...]

Open Your Eyes

digifuzz — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 13:22:56 +0000

I'm privy to many a private mailing list. Occasionally I get jokes, pictures, save-the-whales chain-letters, you know. The normal kind of mail that gets forwarded from one person to another - pointless, but usually semi-worth the the minute of your life wasted on reading it. Then I get things like the following.

Mimic AJAX Form Posts with PHP, Javascript, and Cookies

digifuzz — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 22:45:07 +0000

I was recently reading various articles on how to load external pages using javascript and loading the results into a container div, mimicing that aspect of AJAX requests. But the main complaint I read was that you couldn't POST. I thought it would be neat to figure out a way to do this, [...]

Hot4Hill Video

digifuzz — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 00:08:28 +0000

After reading about this on the news, I had to track and down and see if for myself. It's ridiculous. Singer Taryn Southern, of American Idol fame [2004 Season], wrote and performed this song/video called "Hot4Hill", full of praise for Hillary Clinton, and much lesbian innuendo. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Be forewarned - [...]

Preventing SQL Injection with PHP

digifuzz — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 02:49:49 +0000

SQL Injection. We've all heard the term. But what exactly is it? Sounds dirty and vile... or maybe something you get at the doctor's office. A new type of plastic surgery maybe? Well, let's find out, shall we? From Wikiedpia.com: SQL injection is a technique that exploits a security vulnerability occurring [...]
