Updated phpGedView from version 4.1.1 to 4.2.3

Modify Calendar programs to generate nice PDF calendar’s that can be printed. Much harder than the simple PDF I created on 10/28/09.

Added a PHP program that dynamically generates a PDF report. I generate a birthday report based on the current day. Data is read from the SQL Birthday database. I use the FPDF library.

Went to my dog-size.com website and noticed that the Google ads displayed a green rectangle where the ads should have been. Supplied the missing info to google. And created a privacy policy from a sample on one of their forum pages. This seemed to restore the ads.

Change file extensions of older programs from ‘.php3’ to ‘.php’.

Add some simple AJAX web pages.

Rewrote my Python weather program to create Web page by extracting XML data instead of a HTML web page. Hopefully the XML data won’t change as much as the web page.

Redesign Home page, About page and Other page to use CSS with no table’s. Much cleaner.

Fixed Dogs database problem with some foreign names not displaying correctly. Records displayed OK in Windows but did not import correctly in MySQL. Solution was to open the SQL text import file using the Windows PSPad editor and change format from ANSI to UTF-8 and then import this file. Also added new feature where you can click on any dogs name to do a Google search to get more information on that dog.

Wrote PHP program that encrypts data stored in a MySQL database using OpenSSL. This is something I have wanted to do for many years.
