This is how you can dynamically modify the content displayed in the "empty" area of your "custom" view when it's rendered as a block, based on the configuration's empty header text. Of course you can update the conditions as you think they fit better for you. You can put this into your web/modules/custom/custom.module file.

Although this is of course available from within views admin ui section, sometimes in production for example you might not provide for security reasons the views_ui module making it hard for modifying the empty header text message of a view.

It is not a secret that storing passwords in a clear text is not secure. However, sometimes developers do that to make the site easy for password recovery. There exists a password hashing technique that is used for building the security of passwords. It is called bcrypt. You can use it for protecting the password from different attacks. With it, the password is kept in a bcrypted format. In this snippet, we will demonstrate the way of using the bcrypt technique for hashing passwords. It can be done with the password_hash() function.

Getting the real remote IP address of the client can sometimes be quite tricky for PHP programmers. Receiving the correct remote IP address has a crucial role both for tracking activity and for the security purposes.

This tutorial is aimed at helping programmers to overcome such problems. Go ahead and see how to get the real remote IP address in PHP. Often, programmers try to use $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] for detecting the real IP address of the client:

To perform a redirect in PHP, we use the header() function. This function sends HTTP headers to the server. To perform a redirection, you must send the Location header: followed by the URL of the new page. For this to work, it is advisable to use an absolute URL.
