Whenever I run a screen session I always used to have top running in screen 0 by default.
This was till recently when a friend recommended `htop` to me which is a great enhancement on top and I now use this by default.
Just the other day I found another alternative to using `top` which is `nmon` although its not as customisable as `htop` it still has some good features, so I thought I would do a quick post on both and also share my configs which I think work well.
This month my VPS.net account reached the grand age of 1-year-old. For this special occasion I thought I would do another review of VPS.net and recount some of my experiences from the last 12 months.
In this review I will go over the good and bad aspects of VPS.net that I have experienced. Also I will cover what is coming in the future and what I would like to see in the future as well. Finally I will give a bit of a summary of my thoughts after a year.
So recently at work I have been doing a lot of work with the Zend Framework, but I was having some issues with magic_quotes_gpc
being turned on in the PHP configuration of the server. The easy thing to do would be to disable magic_quotes_gpc in the php.ini and that solves the issue. However this was not an option in my case, as I didn’t want to fiddle with the configuration in case it broke anything else.
I had a look around for a solution and found one on Phil Brown’s Web Development Blog his post
Zend Framework Forms and magic_quotes_gpc which explains how to use Zend Filters to combat this issue. His solution works perfectly but you have to set the filter for each form element individually and I found this a bit of a chaw.
So I looked around to find a way of applying it to all elements within the form.
Here is the solution I came up with this is all the code you need to get it working. I am doing this for the Strip Slashes filter but will work with any standard or non standard filters.
