Make a Footer Stick to the Bottom of the Page

Posted in CSS, Coding, Web Development, Programming by admin on the May 8th, 2008

One of the problems I ran across when doing web page layout. Is the ability to get a footer to hug the bottom of the browser window regardless of the length of the pages content. Then once I arrived at a solution, it didn’t work in all my target browsers. The below solution is the best I’ve seen to date. Check out Ryan Fait’s page for the information.

Make a Footer Stick to the Bottom of the Page: CSS Sticky Footer is Cross-Browser

There are several ways to make a footer stick to the bottom of a page using CSS. But until now, they’ve used long and messy hacks or a lot of extra HTML markup; this method uses only 15 lines of CSS and hardly any HTML markup. Even better, it’s completely valid CSS, and it works in all major browsers. Internet Explorer 5 and up, Firefox, Safari, Opera and more.

Find a files server path when programming in PHP

Posted in Web Development, PHP, Programming by admin on the March 23rd, 2008

If you ever need to find a files path when programming in PHP. All you need to do is drop the below code in a text file called path.php.

<?php $p = getcwd(); echo $p; ?>

Put it in the same directory as the file whose path you need and go to it in your web browser.

http://www._yourwebname_.com/_thedirectorythefileisin_/path.php

You will get back something like this.

C:\Websites\_yourwebname_\_thedirectorythefileisin_

So now you know the server path to the file you need.

Simple.
