WYSIWYG super light editor with jQuery & Bootstrap

Yes! It is. Summernote is the super light WYSIWYG editor for the web. It supports most of the features tinyMCE or CKEditor does but with smallest Javascript & CSS files.

You can download Summernote from here. It is the official website for the same. It has very simple getting started tutorial. 

This is article will show you how to start with summernote and couple of fixes or plugin which you don't find on the official website.

Getting started:
If you want to download and start with, click here.
For CDN, place below snippet under head tag.


<!-- include libraries(jQuery, bootstrap) -->
<link href="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.js"></script> 
<script src="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.js"></script> 

<!-- include summernote css/js -->
<link href="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/summernote/0.8.9/summernote.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/summernote/0.8.9/summernote.js"></script>
  
Now create a textarea and attach summernote to it.

<textarea id="Description" name="Description"></textarea>

$(document).ready(function(){
   $('#Description).summernote();
});

When you don't want to show/use all the buttons in the toolbar, then you can choose/define like below
$('#Description').summernote({toolbar: [
       // [groupName, [list of button]]
       ['style', ['bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'clear']],
       ['font', ['strikethrough', 'superscript', 'subscript']],
       ['fontsize', ['fontsize']],
       ['para', ['ul', 'ol', 'paragraph']],
       ['insert', ['picture', 'link', 'video', 'table', 'hr']]
     ]});

That's it! But, if you are using summernote in Bootstrap modal, then there is a small problem. Whenever you click on Image, Video or link buttons another modal opens up with the options and while closing the second modal it will close all the modals. Quick fix: You can add this line of code as option to summernote.
$('#Description').summernote({
  dialogsInBody: true,
  toolbar: [ 
    // toolbar code if needed
  ]
});

Summernote inserts base64 code (image data URL) for any image inserted. If you don't want to store image data URL in the text (as it will hold huge data), then you can use below code:
$('#Description').summernote({
  dialogsInBody: true,
  toolbar: [ 
    // toolbar code if needed
  ],
  callbacks: {
      onImageUpload: function(image) {
          uploadImage(image[0]);
      }
  }
});

function uploadImage(image) {
    var data = new FormData();
    data.append("file", image);
    $.ajax({
        url: SITE_URL + "admin/upload-image",
        cache: false,
        contentType: false,
        processData: false,
        data: data,
        type: "post",
        success: function(url) {
            var image = $('').attr('src', url);
            $('#Descrpition').summernote("insertNode", image[0]);
        },
        error: function(data) {
            //console.log(data);
        }
    });
}

PHP code to upload an image to any directory and return URL for the image:

if (isset($_FILES['file']['name'])) {
    if (! $_FILES['file']['error']) {
        $name = md5(rand(100, 200));
        $ext = pathinfo($_FILES['file']['name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
        $filename = $name . '.' . $ext;
        $destination = $this->getMediaPath() . 'images/' . $filename;
        $location = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
        move_uploaded_file($location, $destination);
        echo 'media/images/' . $filename;
    } else {
        echo "Ooops!  Your upload triggered the following error:  " . $_FILES['file']['error'];
    }
}            

That's it...

PHP Code Review Guidelines

General  The code works  The code is easy to understand  Follows coding conventions  Names are simple and if possible short  Names are spelt correctly  Names contain units where applicable  There are no usages of magic numbers  No hard coded constants that could possibly change in the future  All variables are in the smallest scope possible  There is no commented out code  There is no dead code (inaccessible at Runtime)  No code that can be replaced with library functions  Variables are not accidentally used with null values  Variables are immutable where possible  Code is not repeated or duplicated  There is an else block for every if clause even if it is empty  No complex/long boolean expressions  No negatively named boolean variables  No empty blocks of code  Ideal data structures are used  Constructors do not accept null/none values  Catch clause...

PHP script to upload file securely

How to Write a Secure PHP Script for File Uploads File uploads are a common feature in web applications, but they can introduce significant security risks if not handled properly. In this article, we'll walk through the steps to securely upload files to a server using PHP. We'll cover key security measures such as file validation, limiting file types, setting file size limits, and managing file storage. We will also create reusable functions to handle the upload process. 1. Create the HTML Form First, we need an HTML form that allows users to select and upload a file. Ensure that the form uses the POST method and includes the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute. <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Secure File Upload</title> </head> <body> <form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/...

Multiple Checkboxes Validation

This is a regular problem and solution is hardly available on google. When we use multiple checkboxes of same group (same name with square brackets) and you've to read the values from server side, then below solution will help you. Here I'm using jQuery (https://jquery.com/) and jQuery Validate plugin (https://jqueryvalidation.org/) For an example, I've to ask a user which of the listed book they are interested to know about <form id="BooksForm" method="post" name="BooksForm"> <p>Books you are interested in </p> <input class="Books" id="Book1" name="Books[]" type="checkbox" value="1" /> The Inner Game of Tennis <br /> <input class="Books" id="Book2" name="Books[]" type="checkbox" value="1" /> Monk who sold his ferrari <br /> <input class="Books" id="Book3" name=...
