Cycling through arrays without looping through it
<?php
/*
I was faced with a problem where I had to cycle through a list of HTML colors and I thought this was
a nice way of doing it. As array_shift returns the value you remove at the front, simply appending it
to the array does the business. I thought I would share it in-case someone finds it useful.

# We need a list of colors for grouping purposes

So you want to be able to see what day it is and then fill an array to display something later on. This is how I did it. I am using this to track events happening within the following week. It could be used for a calendar system and so on.
<?php
# Define the days of the week
$days = array(
'Friday',
'Saturday',
'Sunday',
'Monday',
'Tuesday',
'Wednesday',

Checking whether an array contains duplicate values or not
<?php
# Let's define a simple array to display the function
$array = array("How", "Now", "Brown", "Cow", "With", "The", "Brown", "Fox");
# Check if it contains a duplicate value?
if ( count($array) !== count(array_unique($array)) )
{
echo "Contains Duplicate";

PHP Tables Class. I use this class to create tables quicker without hand coding out the HTML. We basically treat the arrays are HTML properties=>values.
<?php

class Table
{
public $table_attributes = array();
public $table_heading = array();

Someone else's script which I adapted to remove all the nasty Windows "Thumbs.db" files from my linux media drives.
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
def findNremove(path,pattern,maxdepth=1):
cpath=path.count(os.sep)
for r,d,f in os.walk(path):
if r.count(os.sep) - cpath <maxdepth:
for files in f:
#print files
if files == pattern:

2nd Factory Authentication. The idea is for a second layer of authentication. This way it's a password which you need to complete a section of. i would possibly rather use a db to track the attempts etc as sessions could possibly be tampered with.

#passwordContainer
{
line-height: 30px;
font-size: 30px;

SMS Tools Event Handler. So the idea to to create an event handler for SMS Tools, which will work in a similar way to a USSD session. User get's the menu with options. We SMS the options back to them. Then they issue a subsequent message to get the information they need back via SMS.
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
# This function will be used to get the information from the inbound SMS
function decode($string)
{
# Split the text into lines
$lines = explode("\n", $string);

Script to determine the perceived luminosity of an image. The darker the image the lower the number returned, the lighter the image the higher the number.
<?php
# Function to determine the average luminance of an image
function image_avg_luminance($filename, $num_samples=10, $section="all")
{
# Variables required
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
$width = imagesx($img);
$height = imagesy($img);

Luminosity in practice
<?php
# Function to determine the average luminance of an image
function image_avg_luminance($filename, $num_samples=10, $section="all")
{
# Variables required
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
$width = imagesx($img);
$height = imagesy($img);
$x_step = intval($width/$num_samples);
