App Figures API Client in PHP

06 Dec

I’ve started building an API client for the App Figures RESTful API in PHP (it’s actually a handy little PHP class). It’s free to use, so feel free to help yourself to the code! Fork

How to use?

Well, that’s easy. It’s as simple as:

include_once 'AppFiguresAPIClient.php';
$AppFiguresClient = new AppFiguresAPIClient('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD');
print_r($AppFiguresClient->GetReviewsForProductId(PRODUCT_ID));

Check the README on GitHub for more up-to-date usage instructions as time goes on.

Where did you say I could get this again?

CSV to PLIST converter

21 Feb

I’ve knocked up a simple to use CSV to plist converter which is pretty useful for iOS / OSX development. You can grab the code here:

csv2plist.py on GitHub

Usage is a piece of cake,

python csv2plist.py mycsv.csv
outputs: mycsv.plist in the same directory as mycsv.csv

python csv2plist.py mycsv.csv myplist.plist
outputs: myplist.plist in the same directory as mycsv.csv

Any questions or comments are greatly appreciated as always!

AJAX Form Tutorial

12 Oct

This tutorial will show you how to create an AJAX form with PHP and jQuery. The AJAX form doesn’t look any different to an ordinary HTML form, with the exception of making sure that when we submit the form, it calls a javascript function rather than pushes the user to a page (causing a new page reload). I’ll also demonstrate how we can use ‘loading’ animation for the AJAX form, whilst we wait for the server to respond. Read the rest of this entry »

PHP Login Script Tutorial

06 Oct

This PHP login script / tutorial will show you how you can have users register on your site, and log in to access secure areas. I have seen a few tutorials around the web which show how this can be done, but they all seem to lack in security.

How to Create a Textarea Character Counter / Limiter Using jQuery

04 Oct

Need to limit the number of characters that are allowed to be entered into a textarea? I’ve crafted a little snippet that you can drop into your projects to achieve just that! It also provides a counter to the user, showing how many characters are remaining as they type.

This could be extended pretty easily, so that it works on multiple textareas, or even as a jQuery plugin. Read the rest of this entry »

How to Convert PHP Multidimensional Array to Javascript Object (using jQuery)

29 Sep

I was working on a project today, and I needed to convert a PHP based multidimensional array into a Javascript array, so that I could use it for a dynamic select dropdown (depending on the top level category chosen, the next level select dropdown would be populated with the child elements of the top level category options – if you follow me!).

Anyway, I soon realised that converting the PHP array into a Javascript array was a bad idea, as converting it to a Javascript object would be much much better.
