PHP: Easy and secure password hashing class
Everybody talks about security but most of the people still save md5(password) in their databases. This is not funny. Reversing a simple and even a average password is not that hard.
I once wrote this tiny class that generates secure enough password hashes.

PHP: FIFO queue with APC
A few days ago i needed a simple queue class that would also be persistent after the pagerequest. I first thought about putting this queue in SQL but did not want the whole SQL overhead and such and remembered a blog artice about memcache queues a once read. But i had no memcache for that project and used APC instead.

Today i found a error in a tiny script i was working on.
The error Message looked like this:

PHP: phpMyAdmin3 - deactivate slider effects
For all of you who liked phpMyAdmin2 where all relevant information was visible at any time, sould be annoyed be the new slider effects in phpMyAdmin3.
I did a short search for the config value to change this and found this solution.
Add this to your config.inc.php:
// Change slider behaviour
$cfg['InitialSlidersState'] = 'open';
$cfg['InitialSlidersState'] = 'open';
And your sliders will start in visible state.

PHP: floor() and ceil() are slow!
A workmate mentioned, that floor($i) could be replaced with (int)$i.
I found this very interresting and did some researched about that.
floor($i); will return a float that will have the lower value of $i.
A cast will just convert $i to an integer which will cut of all decimals.
So by symptoms, these two methods are equivalent. Even if floor returns a float, PHP does dynamic casting of its variables.
