I often use it to keep different page layouts sorted and inserted an id manually. Now he shows an interesting way using PHP and/or Wordpress. Check out the demo.

Reasons to use id’s in Body

  • Maybe your design has different colors depending upon which section you are in. Instead of having to touch the markup, you can just modify the CSS depending upon the id on the body.
  • You can control the current states for your navigation.
  • Maybe the markup on your homepage is a little different than subpages, so instead of creating a different template, just stick in an if statement.

Example

Body


<body id="<?=$bodyId; ?>">

Function


<?php

function exampleSetBodyId() {

$path = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if(!isset($bodyId)) {

if(eregi('^/play/set-a-body-id/about/',$path) == 1) {

$bodyId = 'about';

} else if(eregi('^/play/set-a-body-id/blog/',$path) == 1) {

$bodyId = 'blog';

} else if(eregi('^/play/set-a-body-id/contact/',$path) == 1) {

$bodyId = 'contact';

} else if(eregi('^/play/set-a-body-id/work/',$path) == 1) {

$bodyId = 'work';

} else if(eregi('^/play/set-a-body-id/play/',$path) == 1) {

$bodyId = 'play';

} else if ($path == '/play/set-a-body-id/') {

$bodyId = 'home';

} else {

$bodyId = 'general';

}

}
return $bodyId;

}

$bodyId = exampleSetBodyId();

?>

Ruby on Rails vs. PHP http://www.knowtebook.com/whats-better-ruby-on-rails-vs-php-979.htm http://www.knowtebook.com/whats-better-ruby-on-rails-vs-php-979.htm#comments Thu, 15 May 2008 18:58:55 +0000 Knowtebook http://www.knowtebook.com/?p=979 A friend of mine has a project where he wants to make a social community and was unsure which way to go. He asked me to ask you guys of help. It is the question which is discussed everywhere - Ruby on Rails vs. PHP - but most of them are not very neutral. Many of them are too pro for Ruby on Rails or too pro for PHP.

ruby-vs-php Whats better? Ruby on Rails vs. PHP

Ruby on Rails is a relatively new and young programming language. By doing a research for advantages and disadvantages. PHP is easy to learn and many people have experience with it. In our mind are some more important questions.

What’s about:

  1. Performance?
  2. Security?
  3. Scalability?

This is an invitation for all of you to make your point of view clear, so that this question will be asked the last time!

It’s your turn: What’s the best- Ruby on Rails or PHP?

PHP Speedy is a script that you can install on your web server to automatically speed up the download time of your web pages. Here’s an example, from a test page:

Before PHP Speedy - 14 requests that took 4.44 seconds

Before PHP Speedy

After PHP Speedy - 4 requests that took 1.1 seconds

Before PHP Speedy

PHP Speedy automatically joined together all the appropriate files and compressed them, greatly reducing the load time of the page.

It is also available as a wordpress plugin.

Die meisten Skripte dieser Art konzentrieren sich auf die Darstellung von nur einem einzigen Zufallsbild. Dieses Skript liest Bilder aus einem Ordner aus, zeigt eine bestimmte Anzahl davon per Zufall an und es wird kein Bild doppelt angezeigt.

Die Aufgabe besteht darin die Bilder aus einem Ordner auszulesen und ohne eine Wiederholung anzuzeigen.

Folgendes PHP-Skript erfüllt alle Wünsche.

Funktionen:

- Mehrere Bilder werden aus einem Verzeichnis gelesen…
- Und per Zufall angezeigt,
- Bilder werden nicht wiederholt angezeigt,
- Anzahl der Bilder kann geändert werden

CODE - Mehrere Zufallsbilder ohne Wiederholung anzeigen:

// Wählen Sie das Verzeichnis
$verz = opendir ('pfad/zum/bildverzeichnis');

// Hier werden die Bilder in einen Array eingelesen
$bildarray = array();

// Bilder werden nicht wiederholt
while ($file = readdir ($verz)) {
if (!is_dir($file)) {
array_push($bildarray, $file);
}
}
closedir($verz);

// Die Zahl 3 gibt an, wieviele Bilder aus dem Bildordner angezeigt werden sollen.
$rand_var = array_rand($bildarray, 3);
for($x = 0; $x < count($rand_var); $x++)
{
echo "< img xsrc=\"pfad/zum/bildverzeichnis/" . $bildarray[$rand_var[$x]] . "\">";
}

Viel Spass damit!
