My Wiki Parser Class for PHP

I was looking for a script which could parse wiki syntax which is used in Google Code (see http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/WikiSyntax). I could only find MediaWiki parsing, which isn’t what I wanted. The closest I could find was a PHP class which parsed ‘wiki’ syntax, but had quite a few bugs in (http://www.phpclasses.org/package/3111-PHP-Retrieve-and-process-articles-from-Wikipedia.html). This was my starting point.

I used the WikiSyntax page given above to add some of the features that I wanted to add. I didn’t add all of them, because I didn’t need all of them, but you can edit the code to suit your needs if you want to.

PHP Code: Resize and crop images

I couldn’t find a function that did this anywhere on the internet, so I built it. I hope other people find it useful. What it does is resizes and then crops an image so that it doesn’t lose its aspect ratio. It’s very cool…
