svn checkout http://svn.tepic.co.uk/svn/tools

Revision Control

SVN Hook Fork
A Python 2.3+ subversion post commit hook that can execute different scripts depending on what has been commited. It also handles notifications for you. More info

Web Tools

Hit Counter
A trivial and self contained PHP 4/5 hit counter using MySQL for atomic hit counting. More info
Where Am I
This PHP 5 utility always knows where it is. It can be used to generate the correct absolute or relative URLs regardless of the page paths. If your templating engine doesn't provide this functionality then this can be particularly useful for the classic "development, stage and live" environments. More info
