PHP – array_map + create_function

Steve Boyd — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 21:59:12 +0000

For use with php < 5.3. If you're using 5.3 just use a proper anonymous function.

array_map(create_function(‘$v’, ‘return strtolower($v).”s”;’), $a);

PHP – Split with delimiter caputre

Steve Boyd — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 12:35:40 +0000

Split a string on a regular expression and also capture the delimiter. This can be useful if you have regular expressions like /(cat|dog|fish)/.

$arr = preg_split($rx, $content, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($arr); $i+=2) {
  $chunk = $arr[0];
  $delim = $arr[1];
}

Duplicating a database using PHP and mysqldump

Steve Boyd — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 09:15:42 +0000

Note i’m using VPS so there are no restrictions – you will only be able to do this on some shared hosts.

error_reporting(E_ALL);
include ‘../config/database.php’;
include ‘../vendors/MySQLConnection.php’; // personal wrapper, should be obvious what it’s doing
$config = new DATABASE_CONFIG();
$db_test = new MySQLConnection(
$config->test['host'],
$config->test['login'],
$config->test['password'],
$config->test['database']
);

ob_start();
system(‘mysqldump -h ‘.$config->default['host'].’ -u ‘.$config->default['login'].’ -p’.$config->default['password'].’ --compact --add-drop-table ‘.$config->default['database']);
$s = ob_get_clean();
$a = split(‘;’,$s);
function t(&$s){$s=trim($s);}
array_walk($a,’t');
foreach ($a as $sql) {
$db_test->query($sql);
}
