String Replacement

riotctrl — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 23:18:10 +0000

I looked for this script forever and I thought I’d share it with you. This script matches all the letters and numbers in a string an returns them back to you.
$string = “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog!”;
$new_string = ereg_replace(“[^A-Za-z0-9]“, “-”, $string);
echo $new_string

Will return this :
The-quick-brown-fox-jumped-over-the-lazy-dog-

This script was probably my most advanced script written. I use a combination of jquery, mysql, and php to generate a report based on the database. I also use php functions to generate the search form. I’ve been trying these days to use databases more to generate code than html and it seems to not only save me time but allow me to easily manipulate the data.

Standings Script

riotctrl — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:11:18 +0000

I recently had to write a script for my baseball league that then created standings ordered by PTS as I looked for something off the shelf to work for me but nothing seem to fit my needs. I also imagine that this could be easily changed for basketball, baseball or hockey. I will also add a sort field using jquery as its just in testing as we speak.

I will post the link to the standings script as soon as I post it on my site.

Style sheet vs. Images

I was able to transform our new ILscorp.com website from Images to CSS and reduce the size of the page.

Old Website made with images :

Total loading time:: 5.6 seconds
Total objects:: 58 (604.1 KB)
External objects:: 0
(X)HTML:: 1 (31.4KB)
RSS/XML:: 0
CSS:: 1 (4.8KB)
Scripts:: 1 (29.3KB)
Images:: 55 (538.6KB)
Plugins:: 0
Other:: 0
Redirected:: 0

New Site made with CSS :

Total loading time:: 0.2 seconds
Total objects:: 15 (154.1 KB)
External objects:: 0
(X)HTML:: 1 (12.6KB)
RSS/XML:: 0
CSS:: 1 (1.2KB)
Scripts:: 4 (35.1KB)
Images:: 9 (105.2KB)
Plugins:: 0
Other:: 0
Redirected:: 0

I was able to reduce the number of images from 55 to 9 and a load time of 5.6 secs to .02 secs… just amazing. Websites in my opinion if designed correctly should not take a long time to load. If they do its generally do to external items like scripts or calls to other servers or just plain to many images like the example above. I try to make all my webpages work dynamically using jquery or AJax and php, for 1 it saves me time coding but also saves in loading time as well.

Bjork Gallery

Recently I was messing around with a great thumbnail php gallery code and added a lightbox feature to it. This script is great as its just a drag and drop script. All you have to do is drop the image files into the same directory as the script and boom it finds all the image files.

Thanks go out to Sam Perkins-Harbin from www.forge22.com who originally wrote the script.
