  • How to Create an Ajax Autocomplete Text Field: Part 5

  • Working With Forms in PHP
    Forms are how your users talk to your scripts. To get the most out of PHP, you must master forms. The first thing you need to understand is that although PHP makes it easy to access form data, you must be careful of how you work with the data. (tags: php forms web)

    While the average user may not be aware that the logic of the Ajax application is more exposed than that of the standard Web page, it is a simple matter for an advanced user (or an attacker) to gain knowledge about the internal workings of the application(tags: ajax security web development)

Birthday visit to Morningside Farms & Nursery

Yesterday was my birthday.

We took a trip to Culpeper, VA for two reasons. One was to have lunch at Foti’s, an excellent restaurant in Culpeper. It’s a real treat to have a meal at Foti’s, and they did not disappoint. The meal and service was excellent! The other reason was to visit Morningside Farms & Nursery, a favorite nursery.

Morningside is west of Culpeper about six miles out on the on the road to Sperryville. As you are driving from Culpeper the turn off to it is on the left right after the Food for Thought store.

Really nice people run Morningside: George & Karen, the owners/gardeners we’ve seen and Justin, their son, who does the Web site and plants the rock garden. They have lots of nice succulents, perennials & herbs.

We bought a bunch of succulents (varieties of stonecrop and other things), a tree peony (we bought one there last year too), a native honeysuckle (red flowers), a couple of geraniums, and a great pot of sweet woodruff. Probably a few other things too. There’s lots of plants to look at. Occasionally we’d ask George for his opinion on a plant or a question about something.  He helped us pick out some plants and when we had everything we wanted we asked hum to look them over. He made some suggestions about looking for better specimens, and found some for us.

Both Foti’s & Morningside are excellent places to visit. It was a really nice way to spend my birthday.

Hillary Ridiculous

If Hillary Clinton gets the nomination of the Democrat party, I won’t be able to vote for her. It seems to me that she’s being dishonest with the electorate. A very good example is her ridiculous push for cutting gas-taxes during this summer. It’s not a reasonable proposal from an environmental, economic, and personal point of view. Oliphant has a great cartoon about it today.
