How to connect to rare databases in PHP (informix, oracle, db2)
Recently I took part in integration project and faced interesting problem. PHP application that I deploy must communicate with Informix database for data selecte. This php application aims to corporate market, so its not a extraordinary case. I see that it may require connecto to Oracle or DB2 in near future.
Yes, PHP itself has wide choose of database connectors, which is a good option to have native database support. The only problem is that most of them are used so rare that are usualy not compiled in all modern Linux destributos.

Settings link in WordPress plugin
To be clear what I am talking about see the image below. It has nice Settings link which leads to plugin settings from plugin list.
Why I think this is important? Usually plugin creates new submenu in Settings, but sometimes it uses different name and it is not easy to find one. In case 20+ plugins are installed, which is a real case, it is not easy to remember where all these settings are stored.
I consider Settings link as a must have thing when developing plugin and its pretty easy to add it, see below
