Why you don't want to host your own video if you can avoid it.

Please, just save yourself a headache, and host your video on YouTube, Vimeo, or some other third party service. They employ some very clever people who've solved all the problems with embedding video.

I find myself needing this often on different servers, you may find it useful too. This script creates a timestamped dump of a mysql database to the current directory. Assumes it runs as a user who can connect to the database. You can set those credentials using the -u and -p command line switches for mysqldump

#!/bin/bash
# retrieve a database and gzip it

if [ $# -ne 1]
then
  echo "Usage: `basename $0` {database_name}"
  exit $E_BADARGS
fi

DB="$1"

DATEZ=`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M`
OUTFILE="$DB.$DATEZ.sql.gz";

echo "mysqldump for $DB to $OUTFILE"
sudo mysqldump --opt -e -C -Q $1 | gzip -c > $OUTFILE

The function here will take an HTML fragment and return an array of useful images it finds.

<?php
/**
 * extractImages
 *
 * @param $text
 * @return array|bool
 */
function extractImages($text)
{
    $header = '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />';
    $text = $header . $text;
    $dom = new DOMDocument();
    if (@$dom-&gt;loadHTML($text)) {
        $xpath = new DOMXpath($dom);
        if ($images = $xpath-&gt;evaluate("//img")) {
            $result = array();
            foreach ($images as $i =&gt; $img) {
                $ht = $img-&gt;getAttribute('height');
                $wd = $img-&gt;getAttribute('width');
                // if height &amp; width are 1 its a bug, ignore
                if (1 === (int)$ht &amp;&amp; 1 === (int)$wd) {
                    continue;
                }
                // if it doesn't end in an image file extension
                // then ignore
                $src = $img-&gt;getAttribute('src');
                if (!preg_match('/.(png|jpg|gif)$/i', $src)) {
                    continue;
                }
                // do we need to figure out the full url to the image?
                if (!preg_match('/^https?:///', $src)) {
                    continue;
                }
                $alt = $img-&gt;getAttribute('alt');
                $result[$i] = array('src' =&gt; $src, 'alt' =&gt; $alt, 'height' =&gt; $ht, 'width' =&gt; $wd);
            }
            if (!empty($result)) {
                return $result;
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
