Exploring WordPress SVN

necenzurat — Wed, 18 May 2011 04:15:31 +0000

When i don’t sleep i do something constructive, more ore less, last time i learned the basics for GIT, now i did some exploring.
Exploring WordPress SVN server which is kinda cool, and for all code freaks out there, the links below are ALL the links for *.svn.wordpress.org

Core – core.svn.wordpress.org
Plugins – plugins.svn.wordpress.org
Themes – themes.svn.wordpress.org
BBpress – bbpress.svn.wordpress.org
Unit Test – unit-test.svn.wordpress.org
Unit Tests – unit-tests.svn.wordpress.org
Open After the Deadline – openatd.svn.wordpress.org
Support Press – supportpress.svn.wordpress.org (i have no ideea what this is)
Code – code.svn.wordpress.org (check out this one http://code.svn.wordpress.org/wordpresscom-video-server/ )
Google Sumer of Code – gsoc.svn.wordpress.org
Source code for the mobile wordpress software:

Android – android.svn.wordpress.org
iPhone – iphone.svn.wordpress.org (same thing is ios.svn.wordpress.org)

Foreach Time in PHP

necenzurat — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 00:28:45 +0000

date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Bucharest");
$begin = new DateTime( '2000-1-1' );
$end = new DateTime( '2001-1-1' );

$interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 day');
$period = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval, $end);

foreach ( $period as $dt )
  echo $dt->format( "Y-m-d\n" );

The above code will echo all dates from 2000-1-1 to 2001-1-1

Be sexy, DO NOT SCALE!

Vaidate mail without confirmation link

necenzurat — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 03:00:03 +0000

function checkEmail($email) {
   // Regex for checking email format
   $regexp = "^([_a-z0-9-]+)(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@([a-z0-9-]+)(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$";
   $valid = 0;
	   // Validate the email format
	   if (eregi($regexp, $email)) {
	   	//split email address if its valid so we can check domain
	        list($username,$tld) = split("@",$email);
	        // Validate the domain
	        if (getmxrr($tld,$mxrecords))
        	     $valid = 1;
		} else {
	        $valid = 0;
 	   } 
           return $valid;
}

The big picture: validate the mail with regex, then fetch the MX records for the domain, if the mx records exists the mail is somewhat valid.

Enjoy!

Comparing two strings in PHP

necenzurat — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 00:58:06 +0000

Well it took me a bit to find out how to do that but here it is:

I am doing a all check-in client for Foursquare and Gowalla and this is problematic:
first get all venues from Foursquare (obviously more populated than Gowalla) and list them, then get the name from the selected one and compare it with the Gowalla names in the array.
And the rest is history.

The hard part is comparing 2 strings but i found a function that can do that, well found 2:

similar_text("This is a text", "A text this is", $percent); // yoda stile :')
echo $percent; // 42.8571428571

This is quite good because it results are ok for 2-3 word names comparison.

Else there is the Levenshein argorithm

$lev = levenshtein("This is a text", "A text this is");
echo $lev; // 14

The result is quite disappointing for me but maybe someone else needs it.

PS: This class may be useful some day or for some one.

And yes, i am remaking the Foursquare Mobile Client aka 4sqr

By the way, anyone got a better idea for comparing 2 strings?

Back to coding now.
