1) Whois query using PHP -- Use PHP to obtain Whois requests
Using this code, whois information is available at a specific domain name. Take the domain name as an argument and display information about all the domain names.
function whois_query($domain) {
// fix the domain name:
$domain = strtolower(trim($domain));
$domain = preg_replace('/^http:\/\//i', '', $domain);
$domain = preg_replace('/^www\./i', '', $domain);
$domain = explode('/', $domain);
$domain = trim($domain[0]);
// split the TLD from domain name
$_domain = explode('.', $domain);
$lst = count($_domain)-1;
$ext = $_domain[$lst];
// You find resources and lists
// like these on wikipedia:
//
// <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whois">http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whois</a>
//
$servers = array(

if (!isset($servers[$ext])){
die('Error: No matching nic server found!');
}
$nic_server = $servers[$ext];
$output = '';
// connect to whois server:
if ($conn = fsockopen ($nic_server, 43)) {
fputs($conn, $domain."\r\n");
while(!feof($conn)) {
$output .= fgets($conn,128);
}
fclose($conn);
}
else { die('Error: Could not connect to ' . $nic_server . '!'); }
return $output;
} 2) Text messaging with using the TextMagic API -- Use TextMagic API for PHP Test information
TextMagic introduces the powerful core API, which makes it easy to send SMS to mobile phones. The API is required to be paid.
the TextMagic PHP lib
require('textmagic-sms-api-php/TextMagicAPI.php');
// Set the username and password information
$username = 'myusername';
$password = 'mypassword';
// Create a new instance of TM
$router = new TextMagicAPI(array(
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password
));
// Send a text message to '999-123-4567'
$result = $router->send('Wake up!', array(9991234567), true);
// result: Result is: Array ( [messages] => Array ( [19896128] => 9991234567 ) [sent_text] => Wake up! [parts_count] => 1 ) 3) Get info about your memory usage -- Get the memory usage
This code helps you get memory usage.
echo "Initial: ".memory_get_usage()." bytes \n";
/* prints
Initial: 361400 bytes
*/
// let's use up some memory
for ($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++) {
$array []= md5($i);
}
// let's remove half of the array
for ($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++) {
unset($array[$i]);
}
echo "Final: ".memory_get_usage()." bytes \n";
/* prints
Final: 885912 bytes
*/
echo "Peak: ".memory_get_peak_usage()." bytes \n";
/* prints
Peak: 13687072 bytes
*/ 4) Display source code of any webpage -- View any webpage source code
If you want to view the source code of the web page, just change line 2 URL and the source code will appear on the web page.
<?php // display source code $lines = file('http://google.com/'); foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {
// loop thru each line and prepend line numbers
echo "Line #{$line_num} : " . htmlspecialchars($line) . "
\n";
} 5) Create data uri's -- Create data uri
By using this code, you can create data Uri, which is very useful for embedding images in HTML/CSS, helping to save HTTP requests.
function data_uri($file, $mime) {
$contents=file_get_contents($file);
$base64=base64_encode($contents);
echo "data:$mime;base64,$base64";
} 6) Detect location by IP -- Retrieve geographic location by IP
This code helps you find a specific IP. Simply type IP on the function parameter to detect the location.
function detect_city($ip) {
$default = 'UNKNOWN';
if (!is_string($ip) || strlen($ip) < 1 || $ip == '127.0.0.1' || $ip == 'localhost') $ip = '8.8.8.8'; $curlopt_useragent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)'; $url = 'http://ipinfodb.com/ip_locator.php?ip=' . urlencode($ip); $ch = curl_init(); $curl_opt = array( CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => 1,
CURLOPT_HEADER => 0,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => $curlopt_useragent,
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 1,
CURLOPT_REFERER => 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],
);
curl_setopt_array($ch, $curl_opt);
$content = curl_exec($ch);
if (!is_null($curl_info)) {
$curl_info = curl_getinfo($ch);
}
curl_close($ch);
if ( preg_match('{
City : ([^<]*)
}i', $content, $regs) ) { $city = $regs[1]; } if ( preg_match( ' {
State/Province : ([^<]*)
}i', $content, $regs) ) { $state = $regs[1]; } if( $city!= " && $state!= " ){ $location = $city . ' , ' . $state; return $location; }else{ return $default; } } 7) Detect browser language -- View the browser language
Check the scripting language used by the browser.
function get_client_language($availableLanguages, $default='en'){
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'])) {
$langs=explode(',',$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']);
foreach ($langs as $value){
$choice=substr($value,0,2);
if(in_array($choice, $availableLanguages)){
return $choice;
}
}
}
return $default;
} 8) Check if server is HTTPS -- Check whether the server is HTTPS or not
if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != "on") {
echo "This is not HTTPS";
}else{
echo "This is HTTPS";
} 9) Generate CSV file a PHP array -- Generate the.csv file in the PHP array
function generateCsv($data, $delimiter = ',', $enclosure = '"') {
$handle = fopen('php://temp', 'r+');
foreach ($data as $line) {
fputcsv($handle, $line, $delimiter, $enclosure);
}
rewind($handle);
while (!feof($handle)) {
$contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
}
fclose($handle);
return $contents;
} 10. Find distance between Longitudes and Latitudes
function getDistanceBetweenPointsNew($latitude1, $longitude1, $latitude2, $longitude2) {
$theta = $longitude1 - $longitude2;
$miles = (sin(deg2rad($latitude1)) * sin(deg2rad($latitude2))) + (cos(deg2rad($latitude1)) * cos(deg2rad($latitude2)) * cos(deg2rad($theta)));
$miles = acos($miles);
$miles = rad2deg($miles);
$miles = $miles * 60 * 1.1515;
$feet = $miles * 5280;
$yards = $feet / 3;
$kilometers = $miles * 1.609344;
$meters = $kilometers * 1000;
return compact('miles','feet','yards','kilometers','meters');
}
$point1 = array('lat' => 40.770623, 'long' => -73.964367);
$point2 = array('lat' => 40.758224, 'long' => -73.917404);
$distance = getDistanceBetweenPointsNew($point1['lat'], $point1['long'], $point2['lat'], $point2['long']);
foreach ($distance as $unit => $value) {
echo $unit.': '.number_format($value,4).'
';
} The example returns the following:
miles: 2.6025
feet: 13,741.4350
yards: 4,580.4783
kilometers: 4.1884
meters: 4,188.3894
