This ended up being quite a find for someone like myself who runs their blog on WordPress but has no clue when it comes to PHP. I wanted to make a couple of minor tweaks to the code of the site and found the information in this basic PHP tutorial by Adam Brown valuable and thought it worth a mention.
So if you, like me, have limited knowledge of PHP and are thinking of having a dabble on your WordPress press site or similar it’d be well worth checking it out.

I’ve been meaning to do it for weeks and have finally upgraded the Tech Head blog to WordPress v2.5.1.
I thought I’d give this neat little automatic upgrade plug-in called, funnily enough, the ‘WordPress Automatic Upgrade’ plug-in a try.
It claims to be pain free, backs all important files, downloads the latest WordPress release and then installs it.
I made my own manual backup of everything before hand – not that I’m untrusting. Yeah, right… But this proved completely unnecessary as it really did what it said on the side of the tin.
The whole site was backed up and upgraded within 5 minutes.
Now why can’t all software be this good?

After installing additional WordPress plug-in’s or upgrading to the latest version of WordPress you may experience the following error message: ‘Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted’.
The reason for this error message is that PHP has a built-in limit on the amount of memory it will allocate. If that limit is reached, the process will exit with this error message. This is usually the result of the PHP script trying to load a large file, such as an image, into memory all at once. While it is better if you can arrange for the script not to do such things, it is also possible to increase the memory limit some to avoid this problem. To do that, edit the php.ini file with your PHP scripts (create it if it does not exist) and add the following line:
memory_limit=16M
You should replace the ‘16′ with whatever value is appropriate (eg: 32M or 64M. The default is 8M (8 megabytes, the 8388608 bytes from the error message).
