e: php4 I've got a $variable filled with a large amount of text separated by new lines (\n). I want to split the $variable into two giant chunks after a certain amount of lines, is that possible? I thought about using split() but that would just make a new array value for every sentence and that might not be an effective way of doing it. Thanks

Didn't know where to put this question but since I'm writing in PHP... Should I stick to using a timestamp like this YYYY-MM-DD or use the Unix timestamp? Is it okay to use both (eg. one for one system and one for another)?

So last night I wrote a fairly simple calendar function. It seems to work fine but it looks inefficient. Keeping within the same principles... how would you make it better?php:<?
function getMonth($month, $year)
{
$first = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 1, $year);
$start_day = date('D', $first);
$day_offset = $this->getDayOffset($start_day);
$days = cal_days_in_month(0, $month, $year);
$block = 0;
$block_limit = 35;
if($day_offset == 6)
$block_limit = 42;
while($day_offset > 0)
{
$this->days[$block] = null;
$day_offset--;
$block++;
}
$day = 1;
while($day <= $days)
{
$timestamp = mktime(0,0,0, $month, $day, $year);
$this->days[$block]['day'] = $day;
if(isset($this->events[$timestamp]))
{
$this->days[$block]['venue'] = $this->events[$timestamp]['venue'];
$this->days[$block]['location'] = $this->events[$timestamp]['location'];
}
$day++;
$block++;
}
while($block < $block_limit)
{
$this->days[$block] = null;
$block++;
}
}?>The output is being stored in a multidimensional array. Acer Pilot fucked around with this message at 22:28 on May 8, 2008 |

I saw a thread about this a long time ago but I can't find it anymore so... How do you do the authentication system like they have on AwfulYearbook. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's where a website checks to see if you have a specific line of text written onto a certain page. I hope that made sense.

So I'm trying to implement Dijkstra's algorithm for a side project I'm working on but I'm having difficulty grasping how the whole thing works... I've setup a map where each location a player can be go to is identified as a sector. Each sector knows whether it connects to any of the sectors to the north, east, south, or west of it. In MySQL, the table for sectors looks like this: table: sectors sector_id | north | east | south | west If the current sector connects with another (eg. north) then it would have the sector_id in that field. Otherwise the value of 0 would be in the field. Would the connecting sectors be the vertices? To illustrate it, the map array might look something like this: code:Acer Pilot fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Jul 11, 2008 |

Does anyone have any idea on how to efficiently create a random maze via PHP? I found this one but I'm not quite sure on how to make it better. It takes quite awhile for it to make 20x20 maze as it seems to make them by going through every cell in the grid. Anyone happen to know the name of the formula that makes up a maze?

I want to keep track of all the places somebody's been on a map in an array (possibly). What would the best way to store this on MySQL? Note: they may not be visiting these places in order. The places will just be represented by numbers. I was thinking textfield in the database separated by commas. But that doesn't sound so efficient.

Thanks but unfortunately we don't have PHP5 installed yet  .How crappy and or efficient are serialize and unserialize? The array may reach up to 375 items per person and map so I'm a little worried about how well it would handle if there are, worst case, 5000 users and 15 maps.

Gotcha. Now for another question I haven't seen in awhile... How should I store passwords in MySQL? The only way I know of is to MD5 it with a salt. How would a security conscious goon do it?

Zorilla posted:That's pretty much it, I think. You could make the login process done through SSL or use Javascript to MD5 the password on the client side so it isn't sent out cleartext, but you're on the right track so far. Well I did get a free SSL certificate from Namecheap a week or two back so I'll give that a shot as well, thanks. MononcQc posted:Use SHA-1. Otherwise, salting it is pretty much the right thing to do. Is there a huge difference between MD5 and SHA-1 other than the bit lengths? I would like to try something new, SHA-1 in this case, but I would like to keep our user accounts fairly safe from tampering. Thanks for help so far goons.

Zorilla posted:PHP has quite a few functions for searching for things in arrays or running callbacks for things in arrays, etc. Would in_array() work for what you need? I actually need to run through everything in the array and output something, if the value is less than 1 it's supposed to output something as well. I'm thinking two for loops and some conditional statements but that doesn't sound too memory efficient.

Begby posted:Looping through an array is not that memory intensive in php. You can probably increase that array to include a couple of thousand elements and not notice too much of a hit. Try creating a loop from 1 to 10,000 that generates an array like this, then loop through it and see how much of a difference it makes. Thanks to all for the replies.
