FREE cheat sheet for new guys/gals

Frederick

Here is a cheat sheet I have built as time goes. I add to it for items when I find snippets that would help me at times. No one can remember everything.
Examples

######################################
RETURN PATH
mail($SendTo, $SubjectLine, $MsgBody, "From: " . $SendFrom."\nReturn-Path: ".$returnpath);

######################################
CLEAR PREDEFINES VALUE OF FIELD
onFocus="javascript:this.value=''"

######################################
ADDSLASHES
#############
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
	$str = addslashes($content);
} else {
	$str = $content;
}

######################################
GROUP    POST, GET AND COOKIE   INTO ONE ARRAY

$_REQ = array_merge($_POST,$_GET,$_COOKIE);

######################################
GET CURRENT DIRECTORY NAME
$value1 = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
echo $value1."<br>";

GET ROOT PATH TO CURRENT DIRECTORY NAME
$value1 = dirname(__FILE__);
echo $value1."<br>";

Hey Frederick, are you looking for feedback about the code in your cheat sheet here or are you just giving away free info? Just curious, because at a quick glance, I noticed some of the snippets you have in here could use some updating...

Frederick

I am sure some of them could use updating. These snippets helped me out a great deal in the past as reminders as I learned this coding. I figured I could share with others. Snippets always comes in handy for when the time calls for them.

Theres one which i see no use for

$_REQ = array_merge($_POST,$_GET,$_COOKIE);

Firstly there is $_REQUEST which stores most of it. Also array_merges isnt all that great especially if either of these have the same index name.

i think he wants to change the gpc order to pgc is why he did that. he prob should have made a note of that though.
