If you operate a forum with private sections and public section, you’ll find that the ads that ad-sense pushes on your website are created based solely on the public content. If you want more accurate result you may want to look into the ad-sense’ s “Site Authentication” feature. Here’s a small how-to on how to achieve this:

phpbb3

• Create a user in the acp (for this example sake let’s use: adsense as username and adsense as password).
• Give him permission based on your forum structure, we advise to give him read-only access on the whole forum.

ad-sense

• go to the AdSense Setup tab, then click on the Site Authentication section.
• click on the add a login link
• Set it like this:
  • Restricted Directory or URL: the forum url (example: http://www.example.com/forum)
  • Authentication URL: the path to the ucp.php?mode=login file (example: http://www.example.com/forum/ucp.php?mode=login)
  • Authentication method: POST
  • Parameters: (you have to add them manually)
    • Attribute: login – Value: Login
    • Attribute: password – Value: userpassword (example: adsense)
    • Attribute: username – Value: username (example: adsense)
• Now click on: Test My Authentication URL to check if everything went ok

Hope this will help you

Today I wrote a script that needed to manipulate several multidimensional arrays, some of them pretty deep.

The standard php function print_r is an hellish mess, browsing through the marvellous php.net documentation I’ve found several examples to beautify the output of print_r (just to give credit: “Bob” and “Everett” were my inspiration) since no one actually did it the way I wanted I made a custom one myself:

function print_rr($array){
    foreach($array as $key=>$value){
       if(is_array($value)){
          $id = md5(rand());
          echo '[<a href="#" onclick="return expandParent(\''.$id.'\')">'.$key.'</a>]<br />';
          echo '<div id="'.$id.'" style="display:none;margin:10px;border-left:1px solid; padding-left:5px;">';
          print_rr($value, $count);
          echo '</div>';
       } else {
       echo "<b>$key</b>: ".$value."<br />";
       }
    }
echo '<script language="Javascript">
function expandParent(id){toggle="block";if(document.getElementById(id).style.display=="block"){toggle="none"}document.getElementById(id).style.display=toggle};
</script>';
}

Feel free to use it anyway you like it.
