Guess Gender ;-)
Nov 22nd
Just a simple function to demonstrate the use of a few very simple but useful functions of PHP. This function simply accepts a parameter ($relation) and returns the “Gender (sex)” of the relationship.
Here’s the function:
<?php
function guessGender($relation)
{
$gen = "";
$relation = ucwords(strtolower($relation));
$relations = array(
"Male" => array("Husband", "Son", "Father", "Brother"),
"Female" => array("Wife", "Daughter", "Mother", "Sister")
);
foreach($relations as $gender => $relationType){
if(in_array($relation, $relationType)){
$gen = $gender;
}
}
return $gen;
}
?>
For the ease of your understanding, I have linked each PHP function, language construct and other statements to Official PHP manual. Simply click on the provided links (in above code) to see the detailed information on each.
Simple File Browser with Pictures Explorer
Nov 6th
This simple file browser, written in PHP, is a very useful library of functions. This library provides basic functionality of file and directory browsing along with many configurable options.
However this is a basic version, and I just wrote it to use at a client’s website. I will be extending it more to provide other useful options like Delete, Move, Copy, Rename and etc.
Currently, it provides listing of directories and files. Navigation thru directories, opening files. You can also use it as an Image/Picture Explorer. There’s a file “fb.php” included which demonstrate the usage at front-end. Following files are included in this package:
- fb.config.php: the configuration file
- fb.lib.php: the main library file, contains all functions
- fb.css: the sample style sheet
- fb.php: the sample usage file
- images folder: includes icons for file types
