Always wrap loose functions in if(!function_exists()){}; to allow for pluging and to prevent name clashes in multiple plugins! Especially useful with dev and/or troubleshooting functions!

Require Dir

if(!function_exists('requireDir')){
function requireDir($dir){
	$dh = @opendir($dir);

	if (!$dh) {
		throw new Exception("Cannot open directory $dir");
	} else {
		while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
			if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
				$requiredFile = $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file;
				if ('.php' === substr($file, strlen($file) - 4)) {
					require_once $requiredFile;
				} elseif (is_dir($requiredFile)) {
					requireDir($requiredFile);
				}
			}
		}
	closedir($dh);
	}
	unset($dh, $dir, $file, $requiredFile);

Test a Form Entry Against a CSV File.

The simple way.

<?php
/**
* Test for post; check against list; return error if bad.
*/
function check_data($input){
	//if the input is null, go no further;
	if(empty($input))
		return 'Please enter a valid code.';
	//if the input isn't 6 alphanumeric characters, go no further
	if(!preg_match('/[A-Za-z0-9]{6}/i',$input))
		return 'The code provided is not valid.';
	//finally, test against the list
	$filepath = dirname(__FILE__).'/data/datafile.csv';
	if (($list = fopen($filepath, "r")) !== FALSE) {
		while (($data = fgetcsv($list, 1000, ',')) !== FALSE) {
			if($input == $data[0]){
				header('Location:'.$data[1]);
				die();
			}
		}
		fclose($list);
	}
	return 'The code provided is not valid.';
	}
if($_POST)	
$error = check_data($_POST['code']);
?>

function cookie_jumper($cookie_name, $redirect = '', $exp = 86400){
	$mycookie = $_COOKIE[$cookie_name]!='' ? $_COOKIE[$cookie_name] : FALSE;
	$exp = time() + $exp;
	if($mycookie){
		header('Location:'.get_site_url().$redirect);
	} else {
		setcookie($cookie_name,TRUE,$exp);
	}
}
