Here is the simple code I use to create a Twitter feed which includes avatars for a website:

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
	<title>Twitter feed with avatars</title>
	<style type="text/css">
		body {
			background: #333333;
		}
		.twtr-widget {
			float: left;
			width: 300px;
			margin: 50px 0 0 80px;
			padding: 0 0 15px;
			background: #fafafa;

			/*** cross browser box shadow ***/
			-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 2px #fff;
			-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 2px #fff;
			-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Glow(color=#ffffff,strength=3)";
			filter:
				progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=#ffffff,direction=0,strength=3)
				progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=#ffffff,direction=90,strength=3)
				progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow

(color=#ffffff,direction=180,strength=3)
				progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow

(color=#ffffff,direction=270,strength=3);
			box-shadow: 0 0 2px #fff;

			/*** kind of cross browser rounded corner ***/
			-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
			-khtml-border-radius: 3px;
			-moz-border-radius: 3px;
			border-radius: 3px;
		}
			.twtr-hd {
				/*** cross browser rgba ***/
				background-color: transparent;
				background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.3);
				filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient

(startColorstr=#30ffffff,endColorstr=#30ffffff);
				-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient

(startColorstr=#30ffffff,endColorstr=#30ffffff)";
			}
			.twtr-bd {}
				.twtr-widget .twtr-bd .twtr-tweet {
					margin: 5px 0 0;
					padding: 0 0 5px;
					border-bottom: 1px solid #cecece;
				}
				.twtr-tweet:before {
					display: block;
					float: left;
					margin: -5px 0 0 5px;
					font-size: 50px; /* let's make it a big quote! */
					color: #bababa;
					text-shadow: 0 1px 1px #909090;
					font-family: "times new roman", serif;
				}
			.twtr-ft { display: none; }
	</style>
</head>
<body>
	<script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>
	<!-- first box -->
	<script>
	new TWTR.Widget({
	  version: 2,
	  type: 'profile',
	  rpp: 4,
	  interval: 6000,
	  width: 300,
	  height: 300,
	  theme: {
		shell: {
		  background: 'transparent',
		  color: '#333'
		},
		tweets: {
		  background: 'transparent',
		  color: '#333',
		  links: '#c10000'
		}
	  },
	  features: {
		scrollbar: false,
		loop: false,
		live: false,
		hashtags: true,
		timestamp: true,
		avatars: true,
		behavior: 'all'
	  }
	}).render().setUser('thelibzter').start();
	</script>

A simple PHP script to find your web root directory

Posted on February 8, 2012 by

Here is a simple line of code you can use to find the web root and path of your website.

Copy and paste this code into a text file:

<?php
print ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
?>

Save the file as findwebroot.php or whatever name you want, as long as it has a php extension.

Upload the file to your server, navigate to the file in a browser, and voilà - you will see the full path to that file!
