	//explode it and if it has a '?' it means it must have URL Parameters
	if(count($mail_split = explode('?', $URL))>1)

	//if for some reason there's more than one '?' then we'll just add the exploded parts to the second part

peterfox / helper.php

Last active December 18, 2015 11:19

A template of a function being applied to a CodeIgniter Helper file, the If statement checks if the function is already loaded, this is a good convention, it also means if you want to simulate a function not included in a current PHP version but is in a later one it'll be swapped in.

	if ( ! function_exists('element'))
	{
	function element($item, $array, $default = FALSE)
	{
	if ( ! isset($array[$item]) OR $array[$item] == "")
	{
	return $default;
	}

	return $array[$item];

Last active December 18, 2015 14:09

	/**
	* __get
	*
	* Allows models to access CI's loaded classes using the same

An example of a library that uses config groups inside a CodeIgniter config file

	<?php
	if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

	* $config['default']['hostname'] = '127.0.0.1'
	* $config['default']['port'] = '1234'
	*
	*the constructor should then be able to load it by either taking a group name 'default' always being the option without

peterfox / global.php

Created March 12, 2014 20:30

This is a simple piece of code that can be added to Laravel's global.php file to start logging to Logentries.

	/*
	\|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	\| LogEntries Error Logger
	\|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	\|
	\| This adds a handler to Monolog which will send logging data to the cloud service
	\| log entries. Make sure there is a logentries.php in your config folder with
	\| an array key defined as 'token'. The format of the messages will be the same
	\| minus the time and date as the service itself will record that.
	\|
