Created December 21, 2018 11:28

An unfriendly PHP test script for interactive input and STDOUT/STDERR

	<?php
	fwrite(STDOUT, "What's your name?\n");
	$name = ucfirst(trim(fread(STDIN, 2048))) ?: 'No-name';
	fwrite(STDOUT, "Thanks, $name\n");
	fwrite(STDERR, "Unfortunately, $name, your name is so abysmal, it's caused an error\n", 100);
	fwrite(STDERR, "But it's okay, we still care about you\n");
	fwrite(STDOUT, "How would you like to say good bye?\n");
	fread(STDIN, 2048);
	fwrite(STDERR, "Good bye, $name. Nobody loves you.\n", 100);

hexus / asplode.php

Last active December 21, 2018 11:31

Explodes a value to an array to an expected length.

	<?php
	// It would be nice if PHP had something like this built in
	function asplode($delimiter, $string, $limit, $pad = null) {
	return array_pad(explode($delimiter, $string, $limit), $limit, $pad);
	}

	// Then things like this wouldn't cause an error without array_pad()
	list($one, $two) = explode(' ', 'nospaces', 2);

	// We're forced to do this, and it's just ugly and tedious

hexus / throttle.js

Last active February 5, 2016 00:37

Helper function for throttling event handlers

	var throttle = function(callback, timeout, context) {
	timeout = timeout \|\| 0;
	context = context \|\| this;

	if (typeof callback === 'function') {
	var last = 0;

	return function() {
	var time = new Date().getTime();

hexus / array-casting.php

Last active October 15, 2015 09:38

How I write methods that add to a collection of values after realising that one can cast pretty much any primitive type to a single-element array...

	<?php

	class Setters {

	protected $data = array();

	public function oldFriendlyAdd($key, $value = null) {
	if (is_array($value)) {
	$values = $value;

hexus / NormalisePath.php

Created September 15, 2014 08:45

A helper function for path normalisation that replaces all consecutive slashes with a single forward slash and trims leading and trailing slashes.

	/**
	* Helper function for consistent path values.
	*
	* @param string $path
	* @return string
	*/
	function NormalisePath($path)
	{
	return preg_replace('#[\\\\|/]+#', '/', trim($path, '\/'));
	}

hexus / webogramSpeechRecognition.js

Created July 2, 2014 18:46

Webogram Speech Recognition in Chrome

	// Webogram speech recognition! - courtesy of Hexus
	var recognition = new webkitSpeechRecognition();
	recognition.continuous = true;
	recognition.onresult = function(event){
	var result = event.results[event.resultIndex][0];
	var transcript = result.transcript;
	var transtripped = transcript.replace(/[\s\r\n]+/,''); // Spaces with every transcript but the first
	var inputElement = document.getElementsByClassName('im_send_form')[0].getElementsByClassName('form-control')[1];
	console.log(result);
	switch(transtripped){

hexus / prettyDateDiff.php

Created May 3, 2014 17:04

Concise way of printing pretty dates relative to the current time (e.g. "30 seconds ago", "15 days ago", "1 month from now")

	function dateDiff($date1,$date2=null){
	if(!$date2){$date2 = 'now';}
	$date1 = new DateTime($date1);
	$date2 = new DateTime($date2);
	return $date1->diff($date2);
	}

	function prettyDate($date){
	$diff = static::dateDiff($date);
	$intervals = array('s'=>'second','i'=>'minute','h'=>'hour','d'=>'day','m'=>'month','y'=>'year');

hexus / ajaxify.js

Last active January 3, 2016 19:19

Playing with the HTML5 History API to load some CMS pages with XHR in place of a full page refresh. The only change needed server-side was the exclusion of repeated content, given the presence of the get variable 'ajax'.

	$(function(){
	var hasPopped = false;

	// XHR request wrapper for page content
	$.loadPage = function(href,data,callback,method){
	$.ajax(href,{
	dataType: 'html',
	data: data,
	type: method,
	success: function(response){
