If you ever have a tag in a div or table, and you are providing say text from your database to the pre element, be very careful that the default style of the pre tag will let the text keep running until hitting the newline character. This is probably not desirable because these long text lines will push their container thus expanding the container unexpectedly. It’s ugly to say the least. ...
Very often I need to encode some string in PHP, then pass that to javascript. For example, say I am using PHP to generate some javascript functions. See below: $s = "some text from somewhere"; $js_code = " function do_something(some_text){ alert(some_text); } do_something('$s'); "; The above javascript code would work fine until one day you have some symbols in $s, for example the single quote.

Coz you are dealing with a mini growing social network, hopefully with something better than emails and phone calls. This is when you need trello ( https://trello.com/).

If you are using the jquery datepicker and have been displaying the date in the usual mysql date format, you probably will find it annoying that the date picker gives you the slash date format back.
