Cleaning out my Opera tabs I came across two tabs that I had been meaning to post about while working on my last Web Programming assignment.

The first one is a very handy validator for validating XML against its DTD. If you’re writing a custom DTD file you will need to make sure the DTD file is uploaded somewhere on the web where the script can access it to compare against the XML, otherwise it should work against already publicly available DTDs.

The second tab is simply a great XML and DTD reference website.

If you are looking to convert video of audio files, http://media-convert.com/ may be the place to do it, simply select the file you want to convert and choose your output format. Your browser then uploads it to the website which converts it then provides you with a download to the converted media.

Probably best for small clips given that most internet upload speeds are rediculously slow, and have to include the traffic usage. Also would probably want to stay away from files you wouldn’t want accidentally being exposed to download to the whole world either.

I needed to move alot of files from one folder to another, which is a real pain in the arse to do. In gftp it requires ‘renaming’ each file into the new folder which is a slow and tedious technique. So I did a search for php move script and came across two first potentials which in the end were not up to it, the first did not work well in FF and didn’t work at all in Opera. The second was in a foreign language and required a MySQL database which tip it over my lazyness factor and I continued my search.

Eventually I stumbled apon WebAdmin. It is a single php page and offers all the basic features of moving/deleting files etc but has no authentication ability so anyone who can find the script can destroy your files. My advice would be to use the script when you have a need then delete it straight away. As it is only a single file re uploading it to finish what you were doing is no hassle but is alot safer than someone malicious discovering it on your webserver.

If your a Free fan it is release under the GPL license.
