A new version of PHP Spell Checker is available.
The new feature is checking the spelling with Google’s “Did you mean” feature, so not a big update, but useful non the less.
The syntax is the same:
<?php
// include the class
require_once(dirname(__FILE__)."/../GDYMSpellChecker.class.php");
// instantiate the class
$spellCheck = new GDYMSpellChecker();
$textWithErrors = "PHP: the quik browm fox jumps over the lazi dog lazi today"; // this text has 3 errors
$result = $spellCheck->checkSpelling($textWithErrors, "en-US"); // will return an array with the wrong words with associated suggestions
//$result = $spellCheck->checkSpelling($textWithErrors, "en-US", false); // will return an array with the wrong words without associated suggestions
//print_r($spellCheck->getWarnings());// get all warnings
//print_r($spellCheck->getErrors());// get all errors
if (count($result) == 0) {
print "Text is OK !<br/>";
} else {
print "Text has errors !<br/>";
print "<pre>";
print_r($result);
}
?>
I am a fan of the FIFA Manager game, i play it every year and every year i would like to install all the “database extensions” (community database improvements) available out there, but the problem is that i have to keep track of all fan sites and choose carefully as some databases, club badges, player pictures, etc collide with each other.
In this regard I started the FIFA Manger online editor. The aim is to create a web application for editing the database of the game and allow contributors to upload all the images (club badges, player’s pictures, etc) into one place, aggregate everything in one place.
This is a big project in the way that there is a lot of data to parse and even harder to understand the internal database structure.
Until now i have a small draft of how the application will look like and also I have already written the parser for some details.
You can take a look and test it here: http://fmed.protung.ro/
For now only England is available for testing (not with the full database).
For now you can see a list of all countries, clubs in that country, all players of the clubs and some details of the players.
The referees are also parsed but there is no interface to see them for now.
Everybody that is interested in this project and has a few hours per week free is more than welcome to join. I need as much help as possible in order to complete this project before the 2011 release
One of the biggest problems now is the user interface, there are just so many buttons, input fields and windows. So if you are an ExtJS developer and want to create a nice, clean and fast interface for this project do not hesitate to contact me.
Have a nice game, and more about this project soon.
I have added support for namespaces to the parser.
What this means, you are now able to register a namspace in order to be able to parse the XML.
Also the usage of this class changed.
<?php
$xml = "http://www.protung.ro/feed/atom/"; // parse an Atom feed
// create a new object
$parser = new SimpleLargeXMLParser();
// load the XML
$parser->loadXML($xml);
// register the namespace
$parser->registerNamespace("atom", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");
// this will get an array of entries
$array = $parser->parseXML("//atom:feed/atom:entry");
?>
As always, you can download the new version from here.
I have added support for node attributes to the PHP Simple Large XML Parser class.
Now it’s possible to retrieve the structure of the XML document with the attributes of the nodes. If you choose to get the nodes also the structure of the result array will be different from the non-attribute array.
Today i finished my second PIC project The first one was a LED Cube, but i didn’t published anything about it just because there are a lot of similar projects out there.
So my project is a simple score board. Two 7 segments displays with a button for each one, the full source code (assembler) and schematics.
This is a screen shot of the final assembly (yes, i soldered 2 flags )
To build this board you need 2 330Ω, 7 220Ω and 2 10KΩ resistors, 2 NPN transistors, a PIC16F690, two 7 segment display (i used in my build a common cathode, if you use a common anode you have to change the schematics and code a little) and 2 push buttons.
On my board i didn’t connected the decimal point (DP) from the displays, so if you want to connect yours then you have to get another 200Ω resistor for it and connect it to port B7.
A new version of PHP Yahoo Messenger Archive Decoder is available for download.
I know 2 years have passed since the release (or actually any other modifications), but a friend asked me to modify it so he can use it to parse conference history files. So this is what’s new in this version.
I really don’t think a new version will be added, unless it will not work anymore with the latest yahoo messenger version (it still works with version 10 beta)
I needed a simple PHP script to parse large XML files fast and without huge memory consumption, so I’ve written a small class for this.
This class can be used to parse large XML files (it works with small one also) fast and with minimum of memory consumption.
It can parse any valid XML and convert it to an array. What it does not do is to get the attributes of the nodes.
If you need it, contact me and i can implement it for you if you want.
You can parse any part of the XML as it supports XPath with the same performance as parsing the entire XML (well, a little bit faster as it’s less data to parse)
i started working on a new (improved) version of PHP WSDL Generator.
Many people have asked for new features and better output this is what the new version will have.
I will also rewrite almost all the code.
The new PHP parser is almost done. Now you can also add classes without specifying files. Just include them in your code and tell the generator to also use those classes. Of course the old way to add classes (by specifying files with PHP code) will still be available, but unlike before when the content of the files was parsed, now the files first will be included (using require_once() ). I know this is not ideal if you have other code that must not arbitrary execute, but then again it’s good practice to have the classes separated from any other code. The new parser will be much faster and more accurate.
That’s all for now, I will post more news about this after more work is done.
Please don’t ask when the release will happen as I don’t know. I do this in my free time witch is somehow limited right now.
After some time i finnaly managed to finish the full demo appication for K8055 board. This is everything i need so i can start now making some projects with the board.
This new version (and last one) has a new custom control, the Joystick control. With this you can control the outputs (digital and analog) with a joystick. It’s just a demo how to control the outputs with a joystick and it’s very easy to change what happens when you use your joystick.
This version also includes some bug fixes, the latest version of the K8055 Velleman DLL and the code has been cleaned a little.
I can say about myself that I’ve seen an impressive amount of stand-up comedy, funny improvisations, excellent comedy TV series… but i really don’t know I missed this show. It’s brilliant, it’s funny… it has everything … it’s WOW !
I highly recommend it. Here is the first episode of the show (and it’s only the beginning)
