The following is a series of links that I have gathered throughout the work day. As a web developer I accumulate links because I find it nearly impossible to remember every little coding aspect especially when I am working with so many different CMS frameworks / languages on a daily basis.

Javascript:

The following link is a good resource for implementing a character count/limit within an HTML textarea form element. It keeps a running total next to the textarea so the user knows how many characters they have left.

MISC:

The next link is used for testing ecommerce carts/checkouts. The link simply lists various credit cards and sample numbers that a developer can use to test a shopping cart checkout process.

PHP:

This next link is for how to properly upload an image using an HTML input form element with the type="file" attribute. The howto works perfectly, however, I ended up using a PHP class instead of this method. Like I said, it works perfectly I just found something that was easier and more efficient to use for my task-at-hand.
