A month ago I posted a PHP email message class for extracting attachments and have been asked by a couple of people how to extract inline images and make it so they can appear in the HTML content of the email. This post shows how to do this, using my email class to get the email.
Gmail by default shows ads above the list of emails. It’s easy to switch these off but they’re not intuitively named when looking at Gmail’s settings. This post shows how to switch them off.
I mistyped the name of an internal MySQL function in some code this morning and got back the error message "Cannot load from mysql.proc. The table is probably corrupted" which appeared to have no bearing on the actual error. The simple fix to this problem is to run the mysql_upgrade command.
I have a number of batch processes that run using PHP as the command interpreter, and discovered after making a change to one of them the other day that the variables available to PHP in the $_SERVER superglobal are different depending on whether it’s run via an SSH session or cron. This post shows the difference on Debian 6. The values available are probably the same on other distros.
I’ve posted in the past about using the "purge" command line utility on Mac OSX to free up inactive memory but a recent update appears to have broken the tool from working. An alternative is to use the FreeMemory app from the App Store to do the same thing, but more easily.
I have the exim mail server running on one of my customer’s webservers. Their internal mail server hadn’t been accepting mail overnight so they hadn’t got a whole bunch of important emails from the webserver and I needed to flush the exim mail queue. A quick read of the exim man page answered my question about how to do this and I thought I’d write a quick post to show how to flush the exim mail queue.
