When determining the URL for a web page, you often want to use keywords that accurately describe the page’s content. Sometimes, these keywords aren’t in English and contain accented characters. One thing you can do is choose one URL to be the canonical URL and create a redirect to that URL from another that contains the ascii-equivalent version of the words, e.g.
Canonical: http://www.somedomain.com/nǐhǎo
Redirects:
1. Generated a server certificate and server private key
http://www.selfsignedcertificate.com/
2. Download the files, e.g.
9264078_local.dev.mydomain.com.cert
9264078_local.dev.mydomain.com.key
and put them in your Apache conf folder, e.g. C:Apache24conf

If you’ve installed Apache on Windows and are used to (re)starting the Apache service from a GUI interface, you’ll have a hard time debugging errors in your httpd configuration files, if there are any, since the GUI response will simply say
“The requested operation has failed!”
Here’s a good word to use to test if your files are UTF-8 -encoded and support international characters.

If you update your hosts file to point a domain to another location, accessing that domain will take you to your new destination. For example, in Windows, your hosts file is at
C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts
If you add the following:
127.0.0.1 www.google.com
and then open your browser and go to www.google.com, you will not see Google’s home page but rather your local host index page. This can be handy when you want to disable one javascript include in a page that you don’t have access to. By pointing the external javascript domain to your local host, a 404 not found will be triggered which will prevent the code from running. Everything else, including other references to external javascript files, in the page will still continue to execute.

When you’re creating a form and have checkboxes and/or multi-value selects that take multiple values, in PHP you specify the field name with brackets as in
<input name=”category[]” >
In order to select this element in jQuery, you need to escape the brackets with double slashes as in
$(“[category$='[]’]”)
I just discovered T-slot aluminum profiles and think they’re some of the most useful things to exist. They’re like Legos for adults. Basically, you can easily build frames for structures using these things. Since there was so much information to absorb, I created a cheat sheet to quickly see what parts are available.
