« 1 2 3 4 5 » ... 11array_natcase
Information
(PHP Version >= 3)Functions used in this snippet: natcasesort, array_reverse.
Description
array array_natcase( str key, array array[, str ascdesc] )
Sorts the associative array array by the associative array key key with natcasesort. It maintains all keys and can be sorted ascending or descending by setting ascdesc to either asc, or desc. The function returns the newly array sorted array.
Snippet
<?php
function array_natcase($key, $array, $ascdesc='asc')
{
$temp = array();
$final = array();
foreach($array as $id=>$value)
{
$temp[$id] = $value[$key];
}
natcasesort($temp);
foreach($temp as $id=>$value)
{
$final[$id] = $array[$id];
}
if($ascdesc{0} === 'd')
{
$final = array_reverse($final, true);
}
return $final;
}
?>
Example
array_natcase Can be used in the following way:
<?php
$array = array(
'a'=>array('x'=>10, 'other'=>'egh'),
'q'=>array('x'=>9, 'other'=>'blah'),
'7'=>array('x'=>1, 'other'=>'rawr'),
'6'=>array('x'=>22, 'other'=>'abcd'));
$array = array_natcase('x', $array);
//outputs the array in the following order
// 7, q, a, 6
?>
more_nums
Information
(PHP Version >= 3)Functions used in this snippet: strlen, str_replace.
Description
bool more_nums( mixed str )
Returns true if the given string str contains more numbers than characters. Returns false if not.
Snippet
<?php
function more_nums($str){
$len = strlen($str);
$str = str_replace(array(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9), '', $str);
if( ( strlen($str) / $len ) < 0.5)
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
?>
Example
more_nums Can be used in the following way:
<?php
$str = 'abcd123';
if(more_nums($str))
{
echo 'More Numbers';
}
else
{
echo 'Less Numbers';
}
$str = 'ab12345cd6';

image_constraints
Information
(PHP Version >= 4.0.6)Functions used in this snippet: imagesx, imagesy, imagecreatetruecolor, imagecopyresized.
Description
int image_constraints( int img, int dimx, int dimy )
Creates a resized image with the maximum width being dimx and height dimy without distorting the image.
Snippet
<?php
function image_constraints($img, $dimx, $dimy){
$x = imagesx($img);
$y = imagesy($img);
$xorg = $x;
$yorg = $y;
$altered = false;
if($x > $dimx){
$ratio = ($dimx / $x);
$x = $ratio * $x;
$y = $ratio * $y;
$altered = true;
}
if($y > $dimy){
$ratio = ($dimy / $y);
$y = $ratio * $y;
$x = $ratio * $x;
$altered = true;
}
if(!$altered){
return $img;
}
$dest = imagecreatetruecolor($x, $y);
imagecopyresized($dest, $img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $x, $y, $xorg, $yorg);
return $dest;
}
?>
Example
image_constraints Can be used in the following way:
<?php
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg('someimage.jpg'); // img size is 250 by 300 we will say
$img = image_constraints($img, 100, 100);

return;
}
$links = array(0=>'http://www.bigtoach.com', 1=>'http://www.neverside.com', 2=>'http://www.google.com'); // change these to your links
$array = unserialize(file_get_contents($file));
$array = is_array($array) ? $array : array();
if($id !== NULL){
if(!array_key_exists($id, $links)){
return 'sorry there is no link to the id ' . $id;
}
$array[$id] = isset($array[$id]) ? $array[$id] + 1 : 1;
$fp = fopen($file, 'w');
fwrite($fp, serialize($array));
fclose($fp);
return $links[$id];
}
$ret = array();

}
// you can also get click counts like this
echo '<a href="pass.php?id=0">http://www.bigtoach.com (' . $array[0]['clicks'] . ' Clicks)</a>';
// pass.php would look as the following
$_GET['id'] = isset($_GET['id']) ? intval($_GET['id']) : NULL;
$redirect = link_track($_GET['id']);
if(strstr($redirect, 'http')){
header('Location: ' . $redirect);

Example
moon Can be used in the following way:
<?php
$moon = moon();
echo 'You can currently see ' . ceil($moon['percent'] * 100) . '% of the moon. It is currently a ' . $moon['current'] . ' and is moving towards a ' . $moon['next'] . ' and will get there on ' . date('r', $moon['time']);
// would say something like
// You can currently see 10% of the moon. It is
//currently a Waxing Crescent and is moving towards
//a First Quarter and will get there on (some date).
$moon = moon(strtotime('November 5 2006'));
// returns the moons info for november 5 2006 00:00
