David Sylvian Tribute on MySpace
February 16th, 2010David Sylvian, in addition to having been the lead singer of the ’70s band Japan, has recorded and toured with many top musicians throughout his eclectic career, including avant-garde guitarist Robert Fripp (King Crimson), Ryuichi Sakamoto, guitarist Bill Frisell, tabla player Talvin Singh, and others.
His latest project is called Manafon.
“Maybe I’m attracted to the stories of individuals who search for meaning on their own terms,” says Sylvian. “But what I’m fascinated by is the devotion to a creative discipline. The meaning with which the work imbues the life regardless of its reception and, to a certain extent, its importance.” Sylvian’s search is endless, and maybe quixotic. The fruits of the journey are unknowably rich.

How to replace a backslash character in a string
February 12th, 2010Ah, so often it’s the little things eh…
PROBLEM: I needed to find a way to “re-process” text a user enters for a live chat client I’m working on (in which I prevented MySQL database injections via the mysqli_real_escape_string function). The problem of course is that the text the user enters nicely protects you from a MySQL database injection, BUT the text then comes back full of backslash (\) characters (not too cool looking huh). So, to remove these, you can use the following code (here, I use the PHP str_replace function:
// Convert escaped characters back to regular text
$string = str_replace("\\", "", $string);
Thanks to Geoff Muldoon for this one!:
