drupal
How do I Increase the memory available to Drupal in a hosting environment.
This is something I have to do frequently so I am posting it here so I dont have to search for it!
Increase PHP memory limit (4 methods)
The one I use most is to use my php.ini file or do it inside the drupal settings.php file.
settings.php:
ini_set('memory_limit', '96M');php.ini:
memory_limit = 16M Messing with Dates in Drupal
Dates and how they are used in drupal is a PITA.
this snippet of code helps to remember the easy way of moving dates back and forth in and out of timestamp format
$today['raw string'] = '2010-03-09 13:00:00';
$today['unix']=strtotime($today['raw string']);
$today['array']=getdate($today['unix']);
$today['YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS']=date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$today['unix']);
$today['drupal-default']=format_date($today['unix']);

Ok, Who is a stunned sob? Me thats who, I cant possibly tell you how long I have been annoyed, irradiated, frustrated with the little annoying and interfering edit/clone/export fields that pop on hover when an admin moves thier mouse near the title of a View in Drupal. Well, I was feeling pretty stupid when I was reading a post by the author who was chastising a girl for editing a the views.views.php.tpl file when there is a config option to disable these little buggers. IT can be found in views tools. not an intuitive place for a config option, but it exists and man do I love it.
