This bit of code sends everyone to the same address whatever they used (http://fiddyp.co.uk goes to http://www.fiddyp.co.uk, also redirects .com addresses to the .co.uk one)

if ($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] != "www.fiddyp.co.uk") {

  header("Location: http://www.fiddyp.co.uk");

pretty sweet little function, put it in your header and google wont think www.you.com is different from you.com and penalize you for having duplicate content.

here's a useful function that I found in the comments of a php.net function reference to quickly extract the text between two given strings, useful for parsing XML documents or HTML. I've used it to parse lotto results, XML favorites and grabbing <img> links by fopen'ing a HTML file.
$text is the string you want to parse
$s1 is the start string
$s2 is the end string

for example if this is a string in the variable $line in a file you are parsing
"<img>http://www.imageurl.com/image.gif</img>"
you can extract the url by using the function like this
