Css fix for IE

CSS Specific for Internet Explorer

IE conditional comment is probably the most commonly used to fix the IE bugs for specific versions (IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9). Below are some sample code to target different versions of Internet Explorer:

<!--[if lt IE 8]> = IE7 or below

<!--[if IE 8]> = IE8

<!--[if gte IE 8]> = greater than or equal to IE8

<!--[if IE 9 ]> = IE9

<!--[if gt IE 9]> = greater than or equal to IE9

Here is the an example of including the styles for each version of IE

<!--[if lt IE 8]> 

<link href="ie7.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> /* css for IE7 */

<![endif]-->

<!--[if gte IE 8]>

<link href="ie8.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> /* css for IE8 & greater*/

<![endif]-->

<!--[if IE 9 ]>

<link href="ie9.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> /* css for IE9 */

<![endif]-->

<!--[if gt IE 9]>

<link href="ie9.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> /* css for IE9 & greater */

$newDate = preg_replace("/(\d+)\D+(\d+)\D+(\d+)/","$3-$2-$1",$date);

Force Download a file in PHP

PHP allows you to change the HTTP headers of files you're writing. This way you can force a file to be downloaded that normally the browser would load in the same window.  You can use this for files like PDFs, document files, images, or videos that you want your customers to download rather than read online.

<?PHP
 
// Force download in PHP 
 
$file="http://yourdomain/fileurl";  
 
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");   
 
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");   
 
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\""); 
 
readfile($file);
 
?>

There should be no spaces or carriage returns anywhere in the file. Blank lines will cause PHP to default to text/html and your file won't download.

Unset all cookies in PHP

Delete / Unset all cookies in PHP

If you want to delete all cookies on your domain, you may want to use the value of:
<?php   $_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE']   ? >
rather than:
<?php  $_COOKIE  ? >

to dertermine the cookie names. 

If cookie names are in Array notation, eg: user[username] 

Then PHP will automatically create a corresponding array in $_COOKIE. Instead use  $_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE']  as it mirrors the actual HTTP Request header. 

So you can unset all cookies by the following way.

<?PHP
 
// Unset all cookies in PHP 
 
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE'])) {  
 
        $cookies = explode(';', $_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE']);  
         
        foreach($cookies as $cookie) {  
         
                $parts = explode('=', $cookie);
                 
                $name = trim($parts[0]);
                 
                setcookie($name, '', time()-1000);
                 
                setcookie($name, '', time()-1000, '/');
         
        }
 
}
 
?>
