Projects

Here's a selection of my projects in no particular order.

CSS Sprite Generator

A tool which aims to simplify the process of creating sprites and associated CSS. Upload a ZIP file containing individual images and it will return a combined image and all the CSS background-position rules required to display each component image. It accepts and can generate PNG, GIF and JPEGs and provides a range of options allowing you to tailor the output image and CSS to your site.

Code Formatter

Prepares code snippets for inclusion in a blog post. Code is formatted with line numbers, indentation is preserved and special characters are replaced with entities where necessary.

Use Tool

Translation Library

A simple native PHP class which provides the functionality required to translate your web site. Supports variable substitution (both named and numeric) and language file inheritance. Useful in situations where gettext isn't installed.

The library doesn't currently support multiple plural forms (although this could be simulated logic within your program) but will be added in the near future.
