aw thanks to miki for the tip. i was wondering if there was a smarter way to print out the alphabet in php than just typing them out LOL

Every letter of the English alphabet corresponds to an ASCII code, so rather than manually typing everything out, you can achieve the same result with a simple PHP loop.

The code below will output all uppercase letter from A to Z by running through ASCII codes 65-90 (the values for uppercase letters) and converting each code to its corresponding letter using the in-built PHP function chr().

<?php 
for ($i=65; $i< =90; $i++) { 
$x = chr($i); print $x; 
} 
?>

For lowercase letters, use the numbers 97-122 instead.

worked most of today on releasing dodoupload version 1.3. if you never had problem with previous versions, you probably don’t need to upgrade. there is not much change from version 1.2. I rewrote the script mostly because some people have problems with http auth and i couldn’t figure out why. so now it’s cookie based login. i also got an email requesting to allow no login. so that’s an option now too.

amy from e-starr.com is now hosting regretless.com. i plan to reopen the registration for dodocounter stay tune!

i’ve been wondering what’s the quickest way to fill an array with a constant value? sometimes the code is necessary. for example, i have X number of items in an array and i wish to put them evenly into an table. to call another function, i need to pass in an array of values and an array of table width. well in my case, i just need to fill an array for table width with something like

$table_width = array('50%', '50%');

here’s my code to fill an array assuming $num_cols contains the number X.

$dummy = range(0, $num_cols - 1); 
foreach($dummy as $val) { 
  $width_per[$val] = round(100/$num_cols)."%"; 
}

Is there a faster way to do this?

just a simple function that returns how many days, hours, minutes and seconds are left given a timestamp i put together. kinda bored so sharing some code XP

give either $time_left (time left in timestamp) or $endtime (an ending timestamp)

/* returns an array of [days],[hours],[minutes],[seconds] time left from now to timestamp given */ 
function timeleft($time_left=0, $endtime=null) { 
	if($endtime != null) 
		$time_left = $endtime - time(); 
	if($time_left > 0) { 
		$days = floor($time_left / 86400); 
		$time_left = $time_left - $days * 86400; 
		$hours = floor($time_left / 3600); 
		$time_left = $time_left - $hours * 3600; 
		$minutes = floor($time_left / 60); 
		$seconds = $time_left - $minutes * 60; 
	} else { 
		return array(0, 0, 0, 0); 
	} 
	return array($days, $hours, $minutes, $seconds); 
}
