I’m prepareing to start proper codeing on some of my tools again, mainly speaking of SteamUtility here but not limited to it 
So i’ve moved all stuff into a dedicated VM and fit everything for quick access.
Should make codeing alot easier and faster since now it’s all cleaned and placed in categories, optimized for quick access.
Oh and if you’re a webdev, forget about XAMPP it’s dirty and bloaded use EasyPHP for latest or WAMPServer if you need to switch between PHP versions easily!

Over the past 2 days i close to finished the theme conversion for CGX24.
I now started to build some block modules and came across that $base_path does NOT (always ?) point to the home URL.
In my themplate i sticked to call the base url via
By a typo i hoverver used
on one of my modules to get the base URL, but i quickly figured that $base_path points out the full URL to current page.
After i had a closer look on the api docs, i defined $base_path as a global first, and this brought the correct result of $base_path being then the base URL.
However, the best solution in my mind is to always use base_path() if you need to get the base URL to your drupal install.
Today somone stated that he may have problems geting things to work wich is using PHP´s fsockopen function.
I provided him a fsockopen test script i found myself some time ago on the web.
I added a disclaimler and mirrored it on my page since i lost the original link.
You can get the small PHP script here: http://code.madmakz.com/pub/fsockopen/

The code might be ugly and simple, however for my needs it works.
I did not added a cache function and i probably never will as i don´t need it.
Feel free to extend/change the script like ever you want, but please keep my & Ruff´s credits!
Thanks & Have Fun
