would be possible to Compare two strings to find Alliteration and Assonance?

I just got bit by assuming the following:
foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
switch($key) {
// ... some other cases
default:
continue;
// ^== assumption: move on to the next iteration of the foreach
// actual PHP: treat this continue just like a break
}
// ...
}
But in fact, according to the documentation for continue:
the switch statement is considered a looping structure for the purposes of continue.
Is there a reason for this choice on the part of PHP language designers? As far as I can tell, switch isn’t a looping control structure, so why treat it like one in this case?
I cannot work out how to get the currency symbol?
At the moment I am using
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_GB');
money_format('%i', 1000);
Which give me the output
GBP1,000
But I want
£1,000
I have checked out the PHP manual but it isn’t that helpful.
Any ideas?
Amazingly I could find nothing about this on Google or SO. When I throw an exception in PHP it appears in my console twice, complete with error message and stack trace. The first time it’s printed it says “PHP Fatal error: …” and the second time it just says “Fatal error: …”. I haven’t tested this is the Apache plugin version.
With some namespaces and paths shortened with ‘…’ for safety:
$ php code/com/.../tabular_data.php
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'File type not supported' in /home/codemonkey/.../tabular_data.php:56
Stack trace:
#0 /home/codemonkey/.../tabular_data.php(88): com...Tabular_Data->loadFromFile('/home/codemonke...', false)
#1 /home/codemonkey/.../tabular_data.php(95): com...Tabular_Data::fromFile('/home/codemonke...')
#2 {main}
thrown in /home/codemonkey/.../tabular_data.php on line 56

I assume it has something to do with stderr and stdout both printing the error. In any case how do I ask PHP nicely to only print it once, preferably to stderr?

This is the exact code that displays double exceptions for me, with namespaces and paths edited to foos. Note that I always get double exceptions in the command line on this installation. I’m all but certain that the issue lies in the PHP configuration.
I’m trying to fetch a number of rows from a MySQL database and group them by the day they were posted.
End result I would like the following..
Monday
-Article 1
-Article 2
-Article 3
Tuesday
-Article 1
-Article 2
Wednesday
-Article 1
-Article 2
-Article 3
-Article 4
And so on, I’m not sure if this can be done in MySQL alone without PHP doing extra work.
This is the query I have so far but doesn’t seem to group by day.
SELECT
cms_news.news_id,
cms_news.news_title,
cms_news.news_date,
cms_news.news_category,
cms_news.news_source,
cms_news.news_type,
cms_news.news_content
FROM
cms_news cms_news,
GROUP BY
DAYOFMONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(cms_news.news_date))
ORDER BY
cms_news.news_date DESC
Thanks.
My question is not about storing images on disk or in DB.
My questions are:
- Should images be stored in one folder, or many folders?
- Is it ok to use md5 for creating unique id’s? E.g. md5(id+filename+random_num)
- Should images be cached on server or on clients browser / computer?
Anything else I should think of?
The solution is using php, apache and mysql. We use Uploadify for uploading images.
Some code I use today
/**
* Calculate dir tree for object
* Folders starts from 00 to FF (HEX) and can have just as
* many subfolders (I think
* @param $id - User ID
* @param $type - Image category
* @return string
*/
function calculateDirTree($id, $type)
{
$hashUserID = substr(hash('md5', $id), -4);
$parentFolder = substr($hashUserID,0,2);
$subfolder = substr($hashUserID,2);
$basePath = $type."/".$parentFolder.'/'.$subfolder.'/';
return $basePath;
}
Looking to do two things with the vBulletin API (v4.1.3) via PHP+cURL:
Get member list.
Add new user.
I am having a hard time finding any working examples of a php script which calls the API to do these things. Thanks in advance.
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
/**
* Parse a duration between 2 date/times in seconds
* and to convert that duration into a formatted string
*
* @param integer $time_start start time in seconds
* @param integer $time_end end time in seconds
* @param string $format like the php strftime formatting uses %y %m %w %d %h or %i.
* @param boolean $chop chop off sections that have 0 values
*/
public static function FormatDateDiff($time_start = 0, $time_end = 0, $format = "%s", $chop = false) {
if($time_start > $time_end) list($time_start, $time_end) = array($time_end, $time_start);
list($year_start,$month_start,$day_start) = explode('-',date('Y-m-d',$time_start));
list($year_end,$month_end,$day_end) = explode('-',date('Y-m-d',$time_end));
$years = $year_end - $year_start;
$months = $month_end - $month_start;
$days = $day_start - $day_end;
$weeks = 0;
$hours = 0;
$mins = 0;
$secs = 0;
if(mktime(0,0,0,$month_end,$day_end) < mktime(0,0,0,$month_start,$day_start)) {
$years -= 1;
}
if($days < 0) {
$months -= 1;
$days += 30; // this is an approximation...not sure how to figure this out
}
if($months < 0) $months += 12;
if(strpos($format, '%y')===false) {
$months += $years * 12;
}
if(strpos($format, '%w')!==false) {
$weeks = floor($days/7);
$days %= 7;
}
echo date('Y-m-d',$time_start).' to '.date('Y-m-d',$time_end).": {$years}y {$months}m {$weeks}w {$days}d<br/>";
}
(It’s incomplete and inaccurate)
I can’t seem to get the math right. Naively dividing it out won’t work because of leap years and differing lengths of months.
The logic also needs to change depending on the format string. For example, passing 04-Feb-2010 to 28-Jun-2011 (as unix timestamps) with format string %y year %m month %d day should output 1 year 4 month 24 day but if %y year is omitted then it needs to add 12 months to the month, i.e., output should be 16 month 24 day.
Should handle times too…but I haven’t got to that yet.
None of these date_diff solutions handle weeks. And I don’t know how I could hack it into date_diff, so that’s not really a solution for me.
Furthermore, $diff->format doesn’t do what I asked…to give the total months and days if “bigger units” are omitted. Example:
>>> $start = new DateTime('04-Feb-2010')
>>> $end = new DateTime('28-Jun-2011')
>>> $diff = $start->diff($end)
>>> $diff->format('%m months, %d days')
'4 months, 24 days'
Should be 16 months, 24 days, as I stated earlier. Please stop being so quick to close my question as a dupe before you understand it fully. If the solutions to other questions can be tweaked to solve this, fine, but please explain how, because I don’t get it.
To be clear,
%y is omitted, years should be rolled in the months%m is omitted, months should be rolled into the days%w is omitted, weeks should be rolled into the days%h is omitted, hours should be rolled into minutes%m is omitted, minutes should be rolled into secondsIf “smaller units” are omitted, the next biggest unit can be rounded or floored where it makes sense.
I am implementing an image upload system in PHP, The following are required:
For that, I have 2 approaches in mind:
Each category will have its own folder, and PHP will detect categories via those folders.
Each image in the database will have a catID (or multiple catIDs), and PHP will query the database to get the images
Which do you think is better? Or is there a third, completely different, approach that I’m missing?
Just a note, I don’t need code, I can implement that myself, I’m looking to find what to implement.
Would love to hear from you.
I’m looking for a way to set the scope of require_once() to the global scope, when require_once() is used inside a function. Something like the following code should work:
file `foo.php’:
<?php
$foo = 42;
actual code:
<?php
function includeFooFile() {
require_once("foo.php"); // scope of "foo.php" will be the function scope
}
$foo = 23;
includeFooFile();
echo($foo."n"); // will print 23, but I want it to print 42.
Is there a way to explicitly set the scope of require_once()? Is there a nice workaround?
