Linux Shell Bridge (Passing variables from scripting langauges like PHP to Linux Shell)

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 19:21:09 +0000

It might sound strange at first but i must say that it's very useful specially if you have shell scripts as part of your application. Usually For making this scripts as automated as possible there should be a way to reuse the application's configurations (ips, passwords , etc) and not having to update a separate configuration file whenever anything changes in the application. It's not limited only to this and can be used to pass any kind of variables.

Sorting two dimensional array like query result by sub array's key in PHP

admin — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 21:20:00 +0000

PHP offers dozens of functions for sorting arrays, but unfortualey non of this functions support sorting by sub-key's value out of the box. It's very useful when you want to sort the result of a query by an specific column.

PHP's forward compatible version compare

admin — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:41:11 +0000

Sometimes the code is forward compatible, for example when it's compatible with all future PHP5 releases, put PHP's version_compare function does not support this (Perhaps because they know that they always break compatibility with every minor release!!!). This function supports .x, for the above example it's : 5.x

Unix like smart recursive file/folder copy function for PHP

admin — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:50:25 +0000

PHP's file system manipulation functions are not as complete as they should be specially when it comes to manging recursive folders. For addressing part of this issue i decided to write a smart function which can handle recursive file/folder copy easily.

As you may have noticed there are feature that i didn't have time to implement , so if you have time to extend this function please notify me as well :). It's also shared here

Alpha support for PHP's imagecopymerge function

admin — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 05:39:31 +0000

I've just checked PHP's issue tracker and a core developer says that this function (imagecopymerge) was never meant to support alpha channel! and they refused to commit the provided patch! so ridicules Anyway i tried rodrigo's workaround and it worked quite well, thanks rodrigo for sharing it. I came up with another idea which is much faster than his solution, (it may need a little bit more memory)

PHP5 and Exception handling

admin — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:07:50 +0000

Introduction

Quite some time ago i dropped php4 support on all of my projects and started thinking how i can benefit from PHP5 new features specially the new exception handling system. due to the fact thatPHP4 had no official exception system, programmers had to come up with their own way for handling exceptions properly , one this solutions was PEAR ERROR which i think was very useful, and i think that even thought PHP5 developers no longer need that technique it still can be used for better code quality in various circumstances.
