		<title>SQL Server Export Encoding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you ask someone for an export of data, and you know the data is coming from SQL Server, be sure to clarify what encoding you&#8217;d like the export in (if they can configure it) &#8211; I spent a bit of time trying to figure out why I couldn&#8217;t reliably read a file, and by [...]]]></description>

		<title>ChartDirector with PHP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a project, we have the need to create charts dynamically from data.  In another project, we&#8217;ve used ChartDirector for this.  It has worked great there, so we pulled it into this project as well.  Now, the type of charts I was working with in particular is a stacked percentage chart, which is kind of [...]]]></description>

		<title>jQuery .submit() won&#8217;t fire!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[FYI &#8211; If you&#8217;re using jQuery in your application, and you&#8217;re trying to submit a form programmatically (ie, $(&#8216;#myform&#8217;).submit(); ), you&#8217;ll want to make sure you don&#8217;t have a button with an ID/Name of &#8217;submit&#8217; &#8211; the code fails silently, with no indication of why.  This is something that caught me today, and was [...]]]></description>

		<title>SSH Tunnels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love SSH tunnels.  I use them as a cheap VPN solution when traveling, and if I need to get access to an internal web server on the inside of a network (assuming the network isn&#8217;t separated).  As an example, I have 2 computers at home which I use daily for development, etc. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Concrete5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A quick shout-out to a great product.  Concrete5 is an excellent CMS.  With easy theming, and even easier setup, it&#8217;s a snap solution for some of the most particular of tastes.
It&#8217;s open-source, which I really like, but the ease of getting it setup, and the polished look and feel just make me happy [...]]]></description>

		<title>OpenLDAP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At work, we&#8217;re developing an application that uses LDAP for authentication.  Specifically, we&#8217;re using OpenLDAP.  We use a VM for development, which allows each developer to have a copy of the &#8217;standard&#8217; environment, to ensure we&#8217;re on the same version of libraries, compilers, databases, etc.  As part of managing the VMs, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>External Login to phpBB</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I was tasked with creating a single-sign-on solution for phpBB, where the user would login to our application, and when clicking a link to take them to a support forum, they&#8217;d already be logged in.  phpBB isn&#8217;t known for having a great API with which to integrate, but the code works, and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>ZFDataGrid &#8211; Enabling Export</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m evaluating a DataGrid for use in a project which is using the Zend Framework, and I came across the ZFDataGrid project.  Fantastic work, and the grid works wonderfully.  It enables you to filter your data and export it in various formats (PDF, Doc, Docx, OpenOffice, etc).  The sample on the site works exactly like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Surrogates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my previous post, I used a key style that is open to debate and has been for many years amongst DB folks.  The idea of every table having a surrogate key, regardless of the purpose of the table.  This says, that for any record in the table I have a single column [...]]]></description>
