Validating Web Pages
Oct/23/2005 04:23 PM
Thought I would share this bit of code as some people might find it useful. Ever since I started working to make sure my pages were compatible, I have come up with a number of things to help me to accomplish this. Now, every page on this site should be fully xHTML compliant and I have setup a number of backend protections to stop most things from causing the sites to stop validating. One thing I wrote was a simple PHP function that can be used in any script that gives some feedback as to if a website is valid or not.
function validate_page($url)
{
$url = urlencode($url);
$site = "http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=$url";
$data = implode("", file($site));
$result = preg_match_all ("/\<h2 class\=\"valid\"\>/", $data, $matches);
return $result;
}
Usage:
$page = "http://www.cbulock.com/";
$result = validate_page($page);
Basically, give the function a URL, it will send back either a 1 or 0 depending on if it's a valid page or not. If this is something useful, go ahead and use it, it's free to use as you please.
Nickcole and I
Oct/15/2005 11:49 PM
Well, in case anyone reads this site, and knows me personally, you should probably know that Nickcole and I are no longer together. I guess we really haven't been a couple for a long time, and I moved out to live with my father over a month ago. I was hoping there was a chance that things could possibly return to the way they were. But, as days go by, I have realized that they won't. Nickcole has already filed the divorce paperwork and on Wednesday I have to go to a Friend of the Court hearing for the kids. Don't worry about me, I have been okay, some days not so much, but overall I am fine.
Anyways, that's all I am really ready to say right now. I haven't been ready to post this on the Internet for everyone to see, but I feel that at least this much should be known so people aren't too clueless as to what's been going on with me.
IE7 Compatible
Oct/13/2005 05:21 PM
One good thing about the redesign of this site that I released back in June, I used IE conditional comments to separate the IE CSS hacks needed to render the site properly. That seemed like a good idea then, and now the IE team working on IE7 is saying that this is the way these hacks need to be done. This is because IE7 will fix most of these, so many of the old hacking techniques will actually break sites in IE7.
Great Episode of Bill Maher
Oct/07/2005 11:46 PM
I almost feel as if there is some chance the American people will realize the truth behind Bush. I am watching Real Time with Bill Maher, and both Ann Coulter and Andrew Sullivan as bashing Bush. It's unreal. I would never thought these people would be talking like this. I feel so much relief right now. If you haven't seen this one yet, catch a rerun. I am so happy even heavy conservatives are finally fed up with Bush.
