Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init

When you run your PHP script you get the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

This is most likely caused by PHP not having the curl module installed. To fix, you want to run:

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

restart Apache and then check your phpinfo page to verify if this is showing up or not.

Lets say you want to create a subdomain, and then route it to a completely different webpage after a predefined length of time, but you want it to execute the Google Analytic code to be able to then track the transaction. How do you do that? 


New WIKI!

For awhile now I’ve been adding technical docs to this blog in attempt to both retain knowledge that I find over the ages, but also to share with the wider community and partipate in the conversation.

In an effort to better facilitate this, I have a new Deki wiki solution that will be used to house all the existing articles, as well as future articles. I hope that you find this a better solution as I have found so myself and participate in the wiki to make it better!

Update and append to end of string in MSSQL

How do you take a string in an MSSQL table and append another string to the end of it? To do this, you can run a bit of SQL such as:

update tablename set Columnname = Columnname + ‘newstring’ where id = X
So if you are say updating a column that is a URL and you want all instances in the table to receive a new value at the end of the URL, your query might look like:
update url_table set urlfield = urlfield + ‘&additionalfield=true’
