function getUpdateString($arrayKey, $arrayValue)
{
 return($arrayKey . ‘=’ . $arrayValue);
}
   $values['key1'] = ‘value1′;
   $values['key2'] = ‘value2′;
   $sql = ‘INSERT INTO table ( ‘ . implode(‘, ‘,array_keys($values)) . ‘ )
      VALUES ( ‘ . implode(‘, ‘,array_values($values)) . ‘ )
      ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ‘ . implode(‘, ‘,array_map(‘getUpdateString’,array_keys($values),array_values($values)));

Returns a SQL statement:

INSERT INTO table ( key1, key2 ) VALUES ( value1, value2 ) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE key1=value1, key2=value2;

Useful stuff.

SELECT <field>[, ...]
INTO <table>
FROM <table>
WHERE <criteria>

or

INSERT INTO <table> ( <field>[, ...] )
SELECT <field>[, ...]
FROM <table>
WHERE <criteria>

example

INSERT INTO auth_users ( user_id, auth_id, auth_setting )
SELECT user_id, 1301 AS auth_id, ‘Y’ AS auth_setting
FROM evedr_users
WHERE user_id > 1

I’d like to thank Katy and Sine for pointing out bugs that were addressed in this release.  If you have any feature quests, please make them on the bug tracker (link above) or on the Disqus conversation thread.

Post Levels is a Wordpress plugin that permits the administrator to hide private posts from users with insufficient access.  This is performed by assigning a post level to each post, and a user level to each user, and a post is hidden if the user level is less than the post level.  Originally authored by Felipe Fortes.

This version has been tested with Wordpress 2.6.1 and 2.7 without any conflicts.

All comments to this post will be integrated with DISQUS.

8. Use Category-Specific RSS Feeds

The problem. Many blogs talk about a lot of different topics: design, programming, blogging tips, etc. Have you ever come across a blog in which you have enjoyed only one category of posts? If so, you should definitely consider offering one feed per category to your own readers.

The solution. Let’s say you’d like to be able to subscribe only to TheGridSystem’s tools section. The category URL is:

http://www.thegridsystem.org/categories/tools/To get an RSS feed for this category, you simply have to add /feed to the end of the URL:

http://www.thegridsystem.org/categories/tools/feedPretty easy, isn’t it? But pretty useful, too, in my opinion.

9. List RSS Feeds by Category

The problem. If you like the previous hack, you will probably also want to be able to display the names of all your category feeds in a list to your readers.

The solution.

Edit any of your theme files, where you want to list your categories and their accompanying feeds.
Paste the following code:
Save the file. You categories will now be displayed, along with their RSS feeds!
Code explanation. This hack uses only the good old wp_list_categories() function, with two parameters. The first is feed_image, which allows us to specify the URL to be displayed as a feed image. The second parameter is feed, which is used to specify the feed format.

This means more streamlined content display experiences than you would normally experience from a traditional webpage.  An example would be Yahoo or Google Maps.  Both use AJAX techniques to load map data without refreshing the entire page.

The purpose of this education is the realization that I load a significant amount of page overhead (a wrapper, if you will) around the DNB data and that I could improve the load speed if I could convert the page to an AJAX enabled app (allowing me to load content in to the browser and then “page” between it without refreshing the page.)

I figure that approximately 15-20% of my page is overhead (CSS stylesheet, template information, navigation, images, etc.)  Cutting that data transfer out of each page change would be a pretty dramatic increase in my page efficiency (and make it more user friendly).

Granted, AJAX breaks the traditional BACK BUTTON functionality that we come to expect from our web browsers, but I think that’s a small price to pay.

Additionally, the hotfix parser has become much more appealing to me as a next project than the ESN parser.  I’ve been doing a lot of Microsoft hotfix patch checking on a few customer’s Contact Center and CallPilot servers at work, and this effort would have been dramatically more efficient if I had this parser.

I’ve completed the client-side VBScript that will capture all of the data that I require.  I’ve determined that Windows Installer is required to collect information about what programs are installed on a Server (not critical, but useful information) and even determined how to gracefully handle Windows Installer being missing (thus, preventing the collection of the Programs Installed info.)

Next is to start building the database tables and work on the server-side parser.

I had thought that they would wipe all of the content when I stopped paying them… but apparently not. So I went and wiped the content (it was mine after all) off the old Verio server
