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!

Onto the script!

# stop on errors
set -e

# set the site for which you want to setup the custom php.ini
SITE=yoursite.com

# copy the php.ini to modify
mkdir $HOME/${SITE}/cgi-bin
cp /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini $HOME/${SITE}/cgi-bin/php.ini
cat << EOF > $HOME/${SITE}/cgi-bin/php-wrapper.fcgi
#!/bin/sh
exec /dh/cgi-system/php5.cgi $*
EOF
chmod 755 $HOME/${SITE}/cgi-bin
chmod 755 $HOME/${SITE}/cgi-bin/php-wrapper.fcgi
chmod 640 $HOME/${SITE}/cgi-bin/php.ini

# search and replace the php.ini
#!/bin/sh
INIFILE="$HOME/${SITE}/cgi-bin/php.ini"
rsync -a /dh/cgi-system/php5.cgi "$CGIFILE"
perl -p -i -e '
s/.*post_max_size.*/post_max_size = 100M/;
s/.*upload_max_filesize.*/upload_max_filesize = 100M/;
s/.*max_execution_time.*/max_execution_time = 1200/;
s/.*max_input_time.*/max_input_time = 1200/;
s/.*memory_limit.*/memory_limit = 250M/;
' "$INIFILE"

# create the new htaccess or append the handlers to your current .htaccess
FILE=.htaccess
cat >> $HOME/${SITE}/${FILE} << EOF
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler php5-cgi .php
Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php-wrapper.fcgi
Action php5-cgi /cgi-bin/php-wrapper.fcgi
EOF

Download the script

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.

Criteria:

1. Auto centered mark
2. semi transparency
3. works with 24-bit .png files for image watermark
4. Must work on the fly
5. must be able to watermark png/jpeg file types
6. due Monday by noon

That being said I produced the following based on notes I took from various sites:

<?php
// example url
watermark.php?i=display.php?show=23
$imageUrl = $_GET['i'];
$watermarkUrl = "watermark.png";
$orgimage=imagecreatefromjpeg("{$imageUrl}");
$watermark=imagecreatefrompng("{$watermarkUrl}");
$watermarkDetails=getimagesize("{$watermarkUrl}");
$imageDetails = getimagesize("{$imageUrl}");
$centerx = (($imageDetails[0] - $watermarkDetails[0])/2);
$centery = (($imageDetails[1] - $watermarkDetails[1])/2);
imagecopy($orgimage,$watermark,$centerx,$centery,0,0,
imagesx($watermark),imagesy($watermark));
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($orgimage);
imagedestroy($watermark);
imagedestroy($orgimage);
exit;
?>
