There is a bug in some version of PHP causing large integers to print in scientific notation. Here’s how to replicate:
<?php $i = 6395360031312041; echo $i; //Outputs: 6.39536003131E+15 |
There is a quick and easy fix for this – simply number_format your integer whilst printing like so:
<?php $i = 6395360031312041; echo number_format($i, 0, '.', ''); //Outputs: 6395360031312041 |
This issue has been fixed in the latest version of PHP 5.2 (as of the time of writing that’s PHP 5.2.12).
If you’re running WordPress on multiple servers, chances are you’ve come across an issue where once you’ve copied WordPress to the new domain, none of your scripts, styles or images are loading. One of the most common occurrences of this happening is running an installation on your local machine (localhost) and allowing people from an internet or network IP to view it. If you dig a little further by viewing page source you’ll notice the issue is caused by WordPress using your old domain (or localhost) for loading – resulting in extreme load on a single server or worse; a HTTP 404 error.
By default, CodeIgniter only allows segment-based URLs, however it is also possible with a little fiddling to use querystrings and even to make the change application-wide or controller-specific.
Have you ever wanted to require a script in PHP without it inheriting all your current scripts’ variables? Did you instead want to pass different variables to it? With this nifty little function you’ll be able to do just that.
CodeIgniter is an incredibly powerful and easy to use PHP Framework that makes developers’ lives alot easier.

WordPress is great. It allows you to quickly set up a blog with minimal effort. In the case of setting up the Google Syntax Highlighter, however, it ended up being quite a hassle due to WordPress’s WYSIWYG editor. This tutorial shows how to modify the editor to make Google Syntax Highlighter work as advertised.
Update Jan 3 2011 To allow pre tag in TinyMCE, we’re now modifying functions.php instead of a wordpress admin file so changes aren’t erased when WP is updated. See here for more details.
