I have dates in the following format (yyyymmdd, 18751104, 19140722) and i need normal date (yyyy mm dd, 1875 11 04, 1914 07 22).

1. first you can use strtotime and date functions (this will fail with dates before the Unix epoch at the start of 1970. )
<?php
// prints 1995 Oct 12
echo date("Y M d", strtotime("19951012"));
?>

2. Alternative which will work with dates before 1970
<?php // Returns the year as an offset since 1900, negative for years before
$parts = strptime("18951012", "%Y%m%d");
$year = $parts['tm_year'] + 1900; // 1895
$day = $parts['tm_mday']; // 12
$month = $parts['tm_mon']; // 10 ?>

3. simple method – date_parse_from_format

<?php $parsed_date = date_parse_from_format('Ymd', $date); ?> 

4. substr because it’s probably the lightest way to do it

mktime(substr($date, 0, 4), substr($date, 4, 2), substr($date, 6, 2));

I hate this task: “Delete default value of an input text on click“. Many times i use code like this

<input type="text" value="email@email.com" name="email"
onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'email@email.com';}"
onfocus="if (this.value == 'email@email.com') {this.value = '';}" />


Forget about this! I would recommend you try HTML5 solution below which uses the placeholder attribut.

<input name="Email" type="text" value="" placeholder="email@email.com" />

How do you heat your home? If that is wood pellets – you are about to visit the right place www.greenpellets.nl. The goal of the project is to provide Dutch people with environmentally friendly and high quality fuel for pocket friendly prices. More to come.

Google opened up Google+ to business.

It’s calling Google+ Pages. Google+ Pages appears to be little difference between a Page and an individual account.
You’re able to add Pages to any of your regular Circles. Page owners are able to post and take part in Hangouts.
Pages turn up in Google search results. Company’s introduced a new Direct Connect and lets you search specifically for Google+ Pages.
Both features are rolling out starting today.

P.S. my first google+ page MediaArt

I visited with my boss, and a client whose website I’m going to do. The client had met my boss before, but not me. So, my boss introduced me:

Boss: Well, this is the guy who’s doing your website, Bob.
Client: Hi there! So you’re the nerd, right?

A technical overview on the Dart language site,

“Dart programmers can optionally add static types to their code. Depending on programmer preference and stage of application development, the code can migrate from a simple, untyped experimental prototype to a complex, modular application with typing. Because types state programmer intent, less documentation is required to explain what is happening in the code, and type-checking tools can be used for debugging.”

Google notes that with existing languages, the developer is forced to make a choice between static and dynamic languages. Traditional static languages require heavyweight tool chains and a coding style that can feel inflexible and overly constrained.

Scripting languages are popular because their lightweight nature makes it easy to write code quickly. Generally, the contracts with other parts of an application are conveyed in comments rather than in the language structure itself. As a result, it’s difficult for someone other than the author to read and maintain a particular piece of code.

Today, Google launching the first version of the Google+ APIs.

This API release is public data only — it lets you read information that people have shared publicly on Google+.

Note: The Google+ API currently provides read-only access to public data. All API calls require either an OAuth 2.0 token or an API key.

I wait for this API 2 month and it’s only read only service :(.

We’ll have to wait longer for full Google + API.
