If you are viewing the source of a web page to debug output while writing server scripts, pressing F5 in the view source window reloads the page content. This is helpful as you don’t have to close the source window, refresh the browser window and view the source again to get an updated view when you change your php script.

If you have a moodle installation, you can quickly browse all the uploaded user pics by going to http://mymoodleinstall.com/userpix/
You have to be logged in as admin or the script tells you to get lost, but you can modify this behaviour by commenting out the
if (!isadmin()) {
error("Currently only the administrator can access this page!");
}
bit of the code.

Just been trying to figure why my previously working copy of performancing was refusing to login to this blog but working fine for others.
Even after updating wordpress, trying a clean install of the scripts creating new users, checking permissions, manually checking the DB to ensure hashes were being written properly etc etc, no joy 
the users accounts could login as normal through wordpress but not remotely using xmlrpc.php.
It would appear that my webhost must have disallowed access to xmlrpc.php to thwart malicious scripts attempting to scan for vulnerable installations.
As soon as I renamed xmlrpc.php to somethingelse.php it started working splendidly again. An email would have been nice and saved me a couple of hours of head scratching…
