Re: 'Code Snippets' you couldn't live without

Hi All, I'm curious to know what other members of the list think of as the code snippets they couldn't live without when working on a PHP project. IE, the kind of re-usable bits and pieces that make your life a lot easier. For myself, I have an include file in which I define 'shorthand' functions for functions etc I use on a regular basis. Eg: function asl($val){ return addslashes($val); } function mfr(&$rset){ mysql_free_result($rset); } ...and so on. Just thought it would be interesting to see what others do to make programming more bearable.

Probably the custom one I use the most is for getting data... function selectData ( $sql ) { if ( ! $_SESSION['mysql']['status'] ) { dbconn(); } if ( $result = @mysql_query ( $sql ) ) { $return = array(); while ( $row = @mysql_fetch_array ( $result ) ) { array_push ( $return, $row ); } @mysql_free_result ( $result ); return $return; } else { $msg = "The query could not be executed."; raiseError ( $msg, 0, 1 ); return false; } } -- John C.
