For some reason tidy inserts new lines before/after <![CDATA[ content in XML files. Since I like the benefits of a reformatted, readable XML...
... i run tidy first, then remove the spaces before/after the CDATA block:

            in order to avoid the .zip madness when creating a new module, you can make it available in the backend by firing a simple SQL in your DB. (mod_media is the name of the folder that holds it)

            Simplepie per default uses relative paths to generate the cache filename. Whenever I  use Simplepie I run into the same problem, that the cache directory can't be located. This is why I modify the file everytime. Here's my version (with a hardcoded p...

            If you wanna use images stored by K2 in your custom scripts/classes you'll need to know how K2 generates the names... (took me quite a bit to find that, because they're not stored in the _k2_items table)

            I wanted to pass a form submission (array) as a JSON object to another function.
Some form field were created with JS, to identify them their names have been concatenated with unique IDs, etc.
In order to access values of that JSON obj I needed to...

            I'm using this out of laziness.
PHP is slowing things down here, since it's not as close to C as XPath.
A better solution would be to have an attribute specifically for search purposes (either in upper or lowercase).

            the LIBXML parameter is what this snippet is about. Also this is one way to retrieve XML without having a  XML-declaration prepended <?xml>

            no need for Lorem ipsum if you can insert something that makes more sense and even helps you address more HTML elements with the CSS you're about to write.

            as a note to self... in order to find it laters...
This will only alter the value of fieldname if the conditions in the WHERE clause are met. With replace we only replace a certain string within fieldname with the replace_with string

            i know these regex stuff is rather slow, but still i like having slim documents. (don't forget to use gzip compression on all text docs)
