PHP Goodness

Being the dork that I am, I’m constantly learning about computers and technology. My most recent endeavor has been learning PHP so I can create more dynamic web pages, and I’m hoping that next semester I’ll be fortunate enough to put my new PHP skills to use in an independent study. Nothing I’ve done to this point has really been all that impressive, but I’ve created a little page in order to test different features and functions I’ve written with PHP. My latest PHP accomplishment has been a counter function which gives a breakdown in days, hours, minutes, and seconds until a specified date, and if given only a month and day, it will perform a recurring countdown. Kinda cool but not all that impressive since it’s a rather simple, straightforward bit of code. You can check it out in action at my PHP test page.

I also wrote a few other date related functions that can determine the number of days in a given month, whether it’s a leap year, and your age in years given your birthdate. When I get around to redesigning my site over the Christmas break, you’ll probably see some of these functions make their way onto Chazography, but since I’m sure this is a topic that interests very few of you, I’ll go ahead and bring this post to a close. I promise to make this boring post up to you in the near future. Just how I’m not sure, but you can rest assured that it will be very, very good.
