In his continuing effort to redesign his blog, Shiflett.org, he's been working on one of the things that really makes a blog useful - the commenting system. Specifically, he wants site visitors to be able to add their own code listings to the comments they post. He gives more detail in this new post.   I've been playing with this tonight. Feel free to follow along as I go. The first thing you want to do is create an ordered list from the code you want to format ($code in these examples).   He gives an example of a listing using his system and explains how it all works. It's a mixture of:  PHP for parsing the data inside the 'code' tags CSS to correctly style the information, whitespace and all Some ini settings to set parameters for... ...the use of highlight string on the PHP code contents  A little str_replace magic later and you have list items styled as code blocks on your page. Check out his demo for an example.

From Sonspring.com, there's a quick tutorial on a simple way to make "time-sensitive CSS" for your site.   Recently, there's been some discussion on the Godbit forum about how to serve dynamic, time sensitive CSS with PHP. I got to thinking, and the steps necessary to make this work are actually pretty easy. First off, let me say that most hardcore programmers will probably scoff at the simplicity of these examples. However, a hardcore programmer I am not, so basic tutorials are what I enjoy. Also, please know that this is not an exercise in JavaScript / Ajax. It is simply a way to provide unique CSS based on date and time.   They include examples of what the result of the code is for two different methods - the month-based CSS and the PHP + CSS Clock approaches. Their examples are just the sample uses of the code, but they also make each available for download. Check out all of the comments for even more tips!

On his blog today, Cocoliso talks about a handy bit of code to allow for syntax highlighting in your page - Geshi.   What if I told you that with as little as 3 lines of code, you could highlight code on your site? You'd jump at it, wouldn't you? Why not run with the big boys? Your users will love you for it and for good reason. It greatly increases readability.   He walks through the simple installation and how to use it in your page - complete with the code he uses to include the functionality in your page.
