I post my normalization function. This function find all illegal characters (like: Ő, Ű, ú, í, etc. ) and replace it to latin1 chars. (like: O, U, u, i, etc.) This function works for me on hungarian words. Try it on your text and post your comment about it.

function foo($year = date('Y')) {
  // this is invalid
}

So, how should do it?

define('THIS_YEAR', date('Y'));
function bar($year = THIS_YEAR) {
  // this is valid
}

Here is my HTML number formatter. Sometimes the browsers wrap the numbers along thousand separator or decimal pont, but this function prevents this event.

function html_number_format($number, $decimals = 2, $dec_point = '.', $thousands_sep = ',') {
  if ($number === FALSE) {
    return '---';
  }
  return '<span style="white-space: nowrap;">'.number_format($number, $decimals, $dec_point, $thousands_sep).'</span>';
}

I share my Timer class with you. This is an easy to use class. If you use this you will never have to think about the way of execution time measuring.

You can read about two popular thumbnail generating methods in this article. The first method requires GD library. If you select the other way you need Imagick which is a native php extension to create and modify images using the ImageMagick API. Let's see the code!

//include('tmp/Timer.php');

function gd_thumbnail($filename, $width = 200, $height = 200) {
$source = imageCreateFromString(file_get_contents($filename));
$x = imageSX($source);
$y = imageSY($source);

if ($x > $y) { // landscape orientation
$height = intval($y/($x/$width));
} else { // square or portrait orientation
$width = intval($x/($y/$height));
}

$destination = ImageCreateTrueColor($width,$height);

Sometimes you need all public properties of an object. I've also met this problem. I tried to find some usable native function on php.net, but the only native solution is the ReflectionProperty class. I think It claims too much resource. I've written an own function that has solved this issue.

Let's see the function


/**
* It gets all public properties of given $object.
* @param object $object It must be object.
* @return array that contains all public property name as key and their values. example:
