Hi, This script will grab the public posts for a Forrst User.
It uses the API V2 that has this basic functionality available now.
Due to requests for using Curl for all of it I included API V2 usage for grabbing the user info as well which replaces Tutorial 1 which did not use the Curl functions.
Below are the Posts grabbed from my own Posts page, but type in a Username above and you can grab theirs too.

Have you ever had to work with .HTACCESS files?

I just came across this little web page that does a neat little trick.
It makes .htaccess creation quite simple :)

A simple MySQL database backup script in PHP
In the code above replace the items between [ ] with your database connection information.
Also set the path to directory where you want to store the backup files where needed.
I just wanted to share a simple backup script that deletes the backups after 7 days. You can setup a cron to execute this at midnight daily, or as often as you want to. You can adjust the timeframe that it keeps the files as well easily.
I know some will comment to use gzip, but since many newbies are not familiar with gzip, i figured keeping it an sql file did no harm. Also, the strlen is just there to make sure the files it's deleting have names considering all backup files created by the script would have names, i wasn't exact with it, but it should suffice based on the rest of the script.
The 7 day deletion is just so your backups don't eat up all your hosting space. You'll want to adjust based on how big your database is and how long you really need backups for.

IE7 Margin Left Bug.
This is a bug i encountered today, and thought you might want to know about.
I setup an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/9RDf8/11/
In IE7. A button inside an element floated right with a margin left will have the same margin left applied to it. All other browsers will render the button without the left margin.

Do designers pay attention to contrast? Seriously.
http://nizoapp.com/
This is an example landing page a friend of mine linked me to this morning.
I'm not sure what the site is for, but that is mainly because on the monitor i happened to open it on, I couldn't read any of it.
White on "pale white" (I don't know the girly names for colors) just doesn't cut it.
I've noticed most designers tend to be on Macs, and Macs tend to have great monitors, so maybe it looks great for you guys. I'm on a windows machine on a couple of decent Acer and Dell monitors. They are not top of the line, and i'm ok with that because the vast majority of people don't own top of the line hardware either.
P.S. I did not mean to turn this into a "bash this site" post. I'm in no way affiliated with nizoapp, just came across the site this morning, was having trouble reading it.
So, I guess this is more a shoutout to designers out there to pay attention to how things look on lower resolution, weaker contrast monitors, because if a user cannot read what your page says....they probably won't stick around.
