Let’s start off simple:

<?php
require("GTranslate.php");
try {
	$gt = new Gtranslate;
	echo "Translating [Hello World] from English to German => ".$gt->english_to_german("hello world")."<br/>";
	echo "Translating [Ciao mondo] Italian to English => ".$gt->it_to_en("Ciao mondo")."<br/>";
} catch (GTranslateException $ge)  {
	echo $ge->getMessage();
}
?>

Create a Function to Detect Language:
First Example for Ben’s Translator Plugin (Using a Session Variable):

<?php
function translateThis ($myText) {
	$pageURL = 'http';
	if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
		$pageURL .= "://";
	if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
		$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
	} else {
		$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
	}
	//return $pageURL;
	$myVal = substr($pageURL, 0, 28);
	if ($myVal == "http://welovecakephp.com/es/") {
		$_SESSION['pLang'] = "ES";
	} else {
		$_SESSION['pLang'] = "EN";
	}
	if ($_SESSION['pLang'] == "ES") {
		require("GTranslate.php");
		/*
			these variable can be used in conjunction with JS dynamic content to make translated content easier
			ie: change image folders/forms/etc basically things that WordPress plugins might screw up
		*/
		$myLang = "es";
		$myLangDir = "/es";
		try {
			$gt = new Gtranslate;
			$gt->setRequestType('curl');
			echo $gt->en_to_es($myText);
		} catch (GTranslateException $ge) {
			echo $ge->getMessage();
		}
	} else {
		$myLang = "en";
		$myLangDir = "";
	}
}
?>

Second example (Using a Cookie):

<?php if ($_COOKIE['pLang'] != "English") { $_SESSION['pLang'] = "ES"; } else { $_SESSION['pLang'] = "EN"; }?>

Sample Usage

<?php
	$myVar = "This is a test of language translation, not word by word but instead this translates the intended meaning";
	translateThis($myVar);
?>

Of course you can change settings within this to suit your translation needs and this is a single use setup but it suited the purpose for which I needed it. I hope this helps you out, cheers!

Warning: mktime() expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in/wp-content/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/sitemap-core.php on line 2438

A solution for this was posted in the WordPress forums and is posted below:

1. Find and edit the plugin file sitemap-core.php then go to line number 2438
2. Comment out the old line:

   • //return mktime($hour, $min, $sec, $month, $day, $year);

3. Then paste this on the next line:

   • return mktime(doubleval( $hour), $min, $sec, $month, $day, doubleval($year));

4. So the two lines should look like this:

   • //return mktime($hour, $min, $sec, $month, $day, $year);
     return mktime(doubleval( $hour), $min, $sec, $month, $day, doubleval($year));

5. Save the file and attempt to rebuild sitemap once more and this time it should work like a charm!

A simple vertical jQuery accordion with much room for growth. In future version I would like to use a few additional lines of JS to create a cleaner structure but even if only as an example this is a good start. I made a horizontal accordion as well but all things will be made public in due time.

This script creates a cooking and remembers which section was last opened therefore making it a great homepage piece or miniature site navigation.

Cheers!

<?
photosets_getPhotos($photoset_id, NULL, NULL, 15, 1);

	// create a random interval for the timer between 6 and 10 seconds
	$randomnumber= rand(6,10);

	// create an array to output as xml
	$xml_output = "\n";
	foreach ((array)$photos['photo'] as $photo) {
		$xml_output .= "buildPhotoURL($photo, "medium") . "\" ";
		$xml_output .= "/>\n";
		$i++;
	}
	$xml_output .= "\n";
	echo $xml_output;

	// you're done!
?>

Simple and straight forward.
