Here you’ll find stuff I have to say about web development stuff, including PHP, MySQL, jQuery, JS, HTML, CSS and anything else I feel I can write down…. mainly stuff for me to remember in the future, but some soul may find useful!

Remove Scrollbars From any Div with CSS

Recently I’m seeing quite a few people asking how to remove scrollbars from their page, both vertical and horizontal scrollbars. What I’m going to explain isn’t just for removing scrollbars but can also be used to make them appear permanently.

Install MySQL 5.5 From Source (Load Data Local Infile Issues?)

Why?…. LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE?

I recently updated my home machine to Ubuntu 12.04 and found MySQL 5.5 installed as default.

Fatal Error

This is what we can see when that moment happens:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of a certain amount bytes exhausted (tried to allocate another amount bytes) in /path/to/script.php
