How to validate a credit card number and how to use SSL with cURL?

Here is the simple credit card validating routine - just only helps validating a given credit card number is legit.

Using cURL (in PHP) to access https url is often not as simple as using the proper url. Using it for authentication is also not very clearly documented. This is a mini tutorial for both accessing https url's as well as for http authentication.

BlogAPI Drupal filter

admin — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 16:18:03 +0000

Using blog clients such as BlogJet or Windows Live Writer with Drupal can produce some unwanted things, such as ignoring the perex/article break or curious formatting. There is very simple module to solve.

Someone says at Drupal pages:
(…) WLW's "split post" feature, which is available when using the Movable Type API but not with the Metaweblog API, does not produce the  tags that Drupal expects. Instead it produces  sometimes and  other times, despite the fact that before posting, the HTML source within WLW shows . Supporting all of these possible page-breaking tags in Drupal would require hacking the core.

I’ve extended the module from this discussion and rewrite it for Drupal 5 too. Updated module can convert P and BR tags to NL.

PHP Interactive

A web based interactive shell for PHP

Playing with languages like Python, Tcl or Scheme, one of the first nice things the programmer discovers is a powerful interactive shell where you can try in little time some line of code, and see the result printed on the standard output. Unfortunately PHP does not have support for such a nice feature, there is the command line option -a, but it's very basic, and not that useful. Also what makes php -a not so useful is the fact that PHP is a language for web applications: often the program output is html code, so, doesn't it make sense that a PHP shell will run on the web?. This is the simple idea that PHP Interactive tries to develop.

Therefore phpUnderControl comes with a command line tool that performs all modifications to an existing CruiseControl installation.

A set of PHP classes mimicing C#3.0's LINQ (Language Integrated Query) extension methods.

PHPLinq

(Con: I read about the PHP Implementation of LINQ called PHPLinq. Frankly, I was sceptical about it. Finally, I gave it a try. I still remain sceptical... - Is PHPLinq As Cool As Real LINQ?)

We try to collect examples on how to program the PHP/CURL interface here. If you have any source snippests you want to share with the rest of the world, please let us know!

Tip: Create a zip file from folders

How to compress files from some folder into one ZIP file in PHP?

For a future project I needed these days some easy to use zip or gzip class to create a zip file from files / folders inside a specified directory. A short search on Google has lead me to the Create ZIP File PHP class from Rochak Chauhan. I tested two other scripts before and must say that this script works great for single files if you add them manually. To compress a whole directory with an unknown number of files into one zip file I created some class extension to get this job done.

Some PHP snippets, the cURL-based HTTP class, session starter that works across the browsers and a little tip for your .htaccess to lowering load and save the bandwith. Go on!

A small list of some useful code snippets which might help you when writing your PHP scripts - mail check, password generator, check IP, XSLT transform, sending mail etc.

10 code snippets for PHP developers

I expanded the previous sample of Basic cUrl and PHP Usage. I added the headers processing which can be useful to handle cookies. It is now easier to use but basic PHP knowledge is required.

eHTTP client class

If a session based web application is used by a visitor using Internet Explorer it's possible that this user get some trouble. This will happen if parts of the application are accessed for example via a shortcut on the desktop and the application opens then in a new Explorer window. At this moment a second session is started with a different ID, if the used web application has some session based authentication system the user has to login again. At the same time the user has to logout twice! In browsers like Mozilla Firefox new windows are treated the same way then tabs where the problem doesn't exists.

Cross-browser session starter

The number one turn off for a website has to be loading times. If your server supports mod_expires you can improve your loading times by 66%, as well as saving your self bandwidth.
