WordPress 2.7 has a nice new feature to update plugins or even the core (wordpress) itself to a new/updated version.
I was always wondering how i could make a feature that can update a script without having the user go to the ftp and go through all steps. WordPress 2.7 found a nice way to do this. They simply ask for the FTP host, username and password and can then simply update it all with one click.

I’m definitely going to use that feature in the next php script that i’m gonna make. perhaps MageDB (again) along with the following interesting features of wordpress:

• Version checking
• Sortable admin modules (heavy javascript work) (also the “Screen Options”)
• Plugins (perhaps even there structure)

And i could go on with more nice features.
Those are just some ideas for new, yet to make, scripts.

Mark.
