Just a simple one, I place this in a common file, and then call it at the top of each page that I require to be secured by SSL.
function force_ssl() {
if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on') {
header("Location: https://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}");
exit();
}
}
Simple function to prepare user inputted data for inserting into a MySQL database. It simply checks if stripslashes() should be called, and then escapes the string. Basic, but handy.
function mysql_escape($string) {
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1) {
$string = stripslashes($string);
}
$string = mysql_real_escape_string($string);
return $string;
}
This is the first thing I add to any PHP based project and I couldn’t live without it..
Most people will probably understand and appreciate what this does, but for those that don’t, it simply displays the contents of an array in a very human readable way by using the <pre> tag to preserve the spacing of the print_r() command.
// Debug Array
function da($array) {
echo "<pre>\n";
print_r($array);
echo "</pre>\n";
}
Enjoy!
