Find out if your email has been read
When sending emails, you might want to be able to find out if your email has been read. Here’s a very interesting snippet which log the IP address which read your email, as well as the actual date and time.
<?
error_reporting(0);
Header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
//Get IP
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))
{
$ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
}
elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
{
$ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}
else
{
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
//Time
$actual_time = time();
$actual_day = date('Y.m.d', $actual_time);
$actual_day_chart = date('d/m/y', $actual_time);
$actual_hour = date('H:i:s', $actual_time);
//GET Browser
$browser = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
//LOG
$myFile = "log.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a+');
$stringData = $actual_day . ' ' . $actual_hour . ' ' . $ip . ' ' . $browser . ' ' . "\r\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
//Generate Image (Es. dimesion is 1x1)
$newimage = ImageCreate(1,1);
$grigio = ImageColorAllocate($newimage,255,255,255);
ImageJPEG($newimage);
ImageDestroy($newimage);

Find All Links on a Page
Using the DOM, you can easily grab all links from any webpage. Here’s a working example:
$html = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com');
$dom = new DOMDocument();
@$dom->loadHTML($html);
// grab all the on the page
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$hrefs = $xpath->evaluate("/html/body//a");
for ($i = 0; $i < $hrefs->length; $i++) {
$href = $hrefs->item($i);
$url = $href->getAttribute('href');
echo $url.'<br />';
}

Auto convert URL into clickable hyperlink
In wordpress, if you want to auto convert all URLs in your string into clickable hyperlinks, you can actually do it using the built-in function make_clickable(). If you need to do that outside of wordpress, you can refer to the function’s source code at wp-includes/formatting.php:
function _make_url_clickable_cb($matches) {
$ret = '';
$url = $matches[2];
if ( empty($url) )
return $matches[0];
// removed trailing [.,;:] from URL
if ( in_array(substr($url, -1), array('.', ',', ';', ':')) === true ) {
$ret = substr($url, -1);
$url = substr($url, 0, strlen($url)-1);
}
return $matches[1] . "<a href=\"$url\" rel=\"nofollow\">$url</a>" . $ret;
}
function _make_web_ftp_clickable_cb($matches) {
$ret = '';
$dest = $matches[2];
$dest = 'http://' . $dest;
if ( empty($dest) )
return $matches[0];
// removed trailing [,;:] from URL
if ( in_array(substr($dest, -1), array('.', ',', ';', ':')) === true ) {
$ret = substr($dest, -1);
$dest = substr($dest, 0, strlen($dest)-1);
}
return $matches[1] . "<a href=\"$dest\" rel=\"nofollow\">$dest</a>" . $ret;
}
function _make_email_clickable_cb($matches) {
$email = $matches[2] . '@' . $matches[3];
return $matches[1] . "<a href=\"mailto:$email\">$email</a>";
}
function make_clickable($ret) {
$ret = ' ' . $ret;
// in testing, using arrays here was found to be faster
$ret = preg_replace_callback('#([\s>])([\w]+?://[\w\\x80-\\xff\#$%&~/.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)#is', '_make_url_clickable_cb', $ret);
$ret = preg_replace_callback('#([\s>])((www|ftp)\.[\w\\x80-\\xff\#$%&~/.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)#is', '_make_web_ftp_clickable_cb', $ret);
$ret = preg_replace_callback('#([\s>])([.0-9a-z_+-]+)@(([0-9a-z-]+\.)+[0-9a-z]{2,})#i', '_make_email_clickable_cb', $ret);
// this one is not in an array because we need it to run last, for cleanup of accidental links within links
$ret = preg_replace("#(<a( [^>]+?>|>))<a [^>]+?>([^>]+?)</a></a>#i", "$1$3</a>", $ret);
$ret = trim($ret);
return $ret;
}

Create Data URI’s
Data URI’s can be useful for embedding images into HTML/CSS/JS to save on HTTP requests. The following function will create a Data URI based on $file for easier embedding.
function data_uri($file, $mime) {
$contents=file_get_contents($file);
$base64=base64_encode($contents);
echo "data:$mime;base64,$base64";
}

Remove Microsoft Word HTML tags
When used, Microsoft Word creates lots of tags: font, span, style, class… These tags are useful inside Word itself, but when you paste a text from Word into a webpage, you’ll end up with lots of useless tags. Here’s a very handy function to remove all Word HTML tags.
function cleanHTML($html) {
/// <summary>
/// Removes all FONT and SPAN tags, and all Class and Style attributes.
/// Designed to get rid of non-standard Microsoft Word HTML tags.
/// </summary>
// start by completely removing all unwanted tags
$html = ereg_replace("<(/)?(font|span|del|ins)[^>]*>","",$html);
// then run another pass over the html (twice), removing unwanted attributes
$html = ereg_replace("<([^>]*)(class|lang|style|size|face)=("[^"]*"|'[^']*'|[^>]+)([^>]*)>","<\1>",$html);
$html = ereg_replace("<([^>]*)(class|lang|style|size|face)=("[^"]*"|'[^']*'|[^>]+)([^>]*)>","<\1>",$html);
return $html
}

If your website is multilingual, it can be useful to detect the browser language to use this language as the default. The code below will return the language used by the client’s browser.
function get_client_language($availableLanguages, $default='en'){
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'])) {
$langs=explode(',',$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']);
foreach ($langs as $value){
$choice=substr($value,0,2);
if(in_array($choice, $availableLanguages)){
return $choice;
}
}
}
return $default;
}
