PHP Export as CSV
A client recently requested an option to extract search results from their PHP application as CSV. It had me confused for a while, I was writing wrappers, writing out files, changing directory permissions, until I had a lightbulb moment.
There is no reason why you can't have the browser do all the work for you.
Wordpress Plugin: Permalinks Moved Permanently

Clever, eh?

Estelle has two CubeCart modifications that I would consider essential for any serious store owner.

Like cForms II for Wordpress, which I am also a great fan of, Estelle has managed to create a fully flexible form creation package. I purchase a copy for every store I put live.
