url encoding a mail to link in PHP
<?php
$URL = "mailto:?subject=Is this a test message!";
$url_var = $URL;
//explode it and if it has a '?' it means it must have URL Parameters
if(count($mail_split = explode('?', $URL))>1)
{
//if for some reason there's more than one '?' then we'll just add the exploded parts to the second part
$mail_params = $mail_split[1];
for($i=2; $i<count($mail_split); $i++)

A template of a function being applied to a CodeIgniter Helper file, the If statement checks if the function is already loaded, this is a good convention, it also means if you want to simulate a function not included in a current PHP version but is in a later one it'll be swapped in.
if ( ! function_exists('element'))
{
function element($item, $array, $default = FALSE)
{
if ( ! isset($array[$item]) OR $array[$item] == "")
{
return $default;
}
return $array[$item];

A template for wrapping third party libraries that need to be used inside the framework but aren't compatible with the typical parameters required
<?php
if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
//Load this class with $this->load->library('CI_Something', $data, 'something');
require_once dir(__FILE__).'/Something/Something.php';
class CI_Something extends Something
{
public function __construct($config)

A template for wrapping third party libraries that require multiple instances to be generated an therefore require a factory pattern
<?php
if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
//Load this class with $this->load->library('CI_Something', $data, 'something');
require_once dir(__FILE__).'/Something/Something.php';

Example of the code that can be used to bring the same functionality from the Model/CI_Model of CodeIgniter to other classes that want to access CodeIgniter fields as if they were attached to the class itself
/**
* __get
*
* Allows models to access CI's loaded classes using the same
* syntax as controllers.
*
* @param string
* @access private
*/
function __get($key)

An example of a library that uses config groups inside a CodeIgniter config file
<?php
if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/*
*defining a config with groups should look like
*
* $config['default']['hostname'] = '127.0.0.1'
* $config['default']['port'] = '1234'
*
*the constructor should then be able to load it by either taking a group name 'default' always being the option without

This is a simple piece of code that can be added to Laravel's global.php file to start logging to Logentries.
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| LogEntries Error Logger
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This adds a handler to Monolog which will send logging data to the cloud service
| log entries. Make sure there is a logentries.php in your config folder with
| an array key defined as 'token'. The format of the messages will be the same
| minus the time and date as the service itself will record that.
