If you’re new to php, or would like to try a system that allows you to generate code quickly, or just don’t like to reinvent the wheel to get some fast work done, look into using a php framework.

Take a look at http://www.fiforms.org/. This “framework” can be used to generate data entry screens onto MySQL, and friends have recommended it as ‘good’. It is more like a collection of classes as opposed to a full blown framework, but it does the job. The documentation is good and most of all it is open source and free.

I expect to be trying it out soon myself, and will post a blog item as soon as I have something to say one way or the other.

For those of you that use Google Mail - GMail to most - there’s a feature that lets you  create a change to your email address on the fly and while still having have the email sent to your base email address.

Why would you want to do this? Many reasons. You can track promotions, track a variety of listings on Craigslist without having to ask a person making a query ‘which ad are you responding to?’, and even use a variation to sign up for a newsletter or other list and see whether they resell your email address.

How to do it? Move the period in your gmail to to wherever you wish, or even add one if you
dont have a period in it. Or, ad add the ” + ” sign to the end of your email address and add something to the end. if you are signing up for amazon.com, you can do “your.email+amazon@gmail.com<your.email%2Bamazon@gmail.com>” so that if your email gets sold, you know who sold it. for more info, follow the link below.
