Shell scripting: conditional string concatenation

Run a different command depending on an input parameter. Make use of an if statement, concatenate 2 strings and run the resulting bash command.

#!/bin/bash

if [[ "$1" == "pro" ]]; then
part1="ls -la"
else
part1="ls"
fi

part2="/home/dir";
command=$part1$part2;

eval $command

Shell scripting if else example

Script example that accepts one parameter.

Example:

./my-script.sh param1 # - string comparison
./my-script.sh 100 - # integer comparison

Integer comparison

if [ $1 -eq 100 ]; then
echo "Parameter equals 100"
else
echo "Parameter is not equal to 100"
fi

# Other possible values for comparison operator: -qe, -ne, -gt

String comparison

if [[ "$1" == "param1" ]]; then
echo "Comparison match"
else
echo "String does not match / parameter invalid, etc"
fi

CSS: Do not break word, nobr tag equivalent

CSS: Do not break word when space character is encountered.

CSS property:
white-space: nowrap;

PS: The old way to achieve this was by using <nobr>, which is deprecated.

MySQL: Change table type, set InnoDB or MyISAM

To modify the storage engine of a MySQL table, one can use one of the following.

ALTER TABLE `table_name` ENGINE = InnoDB;

OR

ALTER TABLE `table_name` ENGINE = MYISAM;

MySQL IF NULL return 0 - IFNULL() function

Test if expression is NULL; return NULL if true, return expression if false.

Definition:
IFNULL(expr1, expr2)

Example:
IFNULL(SELECT MAX(field) FROM table, 0)

MySQL get date tomorrow

MySQL function to get tomorrow's date:

DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)

MySQL: Delete / Reset Query Cache

Delete the cache results for MySQL queries:

RESET QUERY CACHE;

OR

FLUSH TABLES;

PS: "FLUSH QUERY CACHE" also exists, but the command only defragments the query cache to better utilize the memory; it does not delete/empty the query cache.

PHP: Generate random string, random date

PHP Function: Generate random string

/**

Linux: SVN subversion client certificate config (.p12)

Console SVN subversion client configuration. Using .p12 SSL certificate.

Edit: ~/.subversion/servers

[groups]
group1=*.hostname1.com
group2=*.hostname2.com

[group1]
ssl-client-cert-file=/home/user/cert/cert-file.p12
ssl-client-cert-password=abcde

[group2]
ssl-client-cert-file=/home/user/cert/cert-file.p12
ssl-client-cert-password=abcde

Setting the password is optional. This can be skipped, but the password will be required at every svn action.

OOP recommended practices

Inheritance

class Customer {
    protected $discount = 0;
   
    public function getDiscount() {
        return $this->discount;
    }
}

class CustomerPremium extends Customer {
    protected $discount = 5;
}


Global Constants

Recommended: no use of global constants inside class methods.

class MyClass {
    protected $path_server;
   
    public function setPathServer($path_server) {
        $this->path_server = $path_server;
    }
   
    public function getFileContents($file) {
        return file_get_contents($this->path_server . '/' . $file);
    }
}


Abstract & Final

abstract class MyClassAbstract {
    abstract protected function computeData();
    abstract protected function sendMail();
   
    final public function run() {
        $this->computeData();
        $this->sendMail();
    }
}

class MyClass extends MyClassAbstract {
   
    protected function computeData() {
        ...
    }
   
    protected function sendMail() {
        ...
    }
}

JavaScript: iterate every character in a string

Loop through characters in a string:

var str = 'My string';
for(var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
    console.log(str.charAt(i));
}

JavaScript - position div ( block / box ) in the center of the page - compute top & left position

Position a box in the middle of the screen (horizontal and vertical) using JavaScript.
The following function dynamically computes (using the height and width of the browser and of the box to be centered) the left and top size in pixels to be used for positioning the box.

function computePositionLeftTopElement(_element_width, _element_height) {
    var screenWidth = $(window).width();
    var screenHeight = $(window).height();
    if(_element_height < screenHeight) {
        var layerContentPositionTop = Math.round((screenHeight - _element_height) / 2);
    } else {
        var layerContentPositionTop = 0;
    }
    if(_element_width < screenWidth) {
        var layerContentPositionLeft = Math.round((screenWidth - _element_width) / 2);
    } else {
        var layerContentPositionLeft = 0;
    }
    return [layerContentPositionLeft, layerContentPositionTop];
}

To place the box as a layer over the page content, the CSS properties can be used:
position:fixed;
z-index:10;

PHP delete, remove directory

PHP delete folder recursively.
Remove all subfolders and files.

function rrmdir($dir) {
    if (is_dir($dir)) {
        $objects = scandir($dir);
        foreach ($objects as $object) {
            if ($object != "." && $object != "..") {
                if (filetype($dir."/".$object) == "dir") rrmdir($dir."/".$object);
                else unlink($dir."/".$object);
            }
        }
        reset($objects);
        rmdir($dir);
    }
}

PHP: remove single and multiple line comments

Remove single line comments:
$string = preg_replace('/\/\/(.*)/', '', $string);

Remove multiple line comments:
$string = preg_replace('!/\*.*?\*/!s', '', $string);

Javascript: get element by id inside iframe (from parent)

From parent window, get an element inside an iframe by id:

document.getElementById('iframe-id')
    .contentWindow.document.getElementById('div-id');

Linux: import MDB files to MySQL

$ sudo apt-get install mdbtools

You can import MDB files to MySQL using the following:

View tables:
$ mdb-tables file.mdb

Export table as CSV:
$ mdb-export file.mdb table1 > table1.csv

# ... to be done, import from csv to MySQL

Javascript objects and classes; private and public methods and properties

1) Object literals

var Object = {
   
    speed : 0,
   
    setSpeed : function(speed) {
        this.speed = speed;
    },
   
    getSpeed : function() {

    // public property example
    this.speed = 0;


    // private method example
    function getName() {

    // public method example
    this.setSpeed = function(speed) {
        this.speed = speed;
    }
   
    // public method example
    this.getSpeed = function() {
        return this.speed;

Object1.setSpeed(150);
var speed = Object1.getSpeed();

Highcharts: Controlling and mastering axis interval properties

Interval properties for xAxis and yAxis:

tickPixelInterval
tickInterval
tickInterval
startOnTick
endOnTick

Example "fixed number of intervals":

tickInterval : xAxis_tickInterval
startOnTick : xAxis_min
endOnTick : xAxis_max

The secret to get the exact number of intervals desired is to have xAxis_min and xAxis_max multiples of xAxis_tickInterval.
To do this, assuming you want 10 intervals, the extra fix should look like:

var xAxis_min = value_min;
var xAxis_max = value_max;
var xAxis_tickInterval = Math.round((xAxis_max - xAxis_min) / 10);
while(xAxis_min % xAxis_tickInterval != 0) {
xAxis_min--;
}
while(xAxis_max % xAxis_tickInterval != 0) {
xAxis_max++;
}

And the xAxis properties:

xAxis: {
showLastLabel: true,
min : xAxis_min,
max : xAxis_max,
tickInterval : xAxis_tickInterval,
startOnTick : xAxis_min,
endOnTick : xAxis_max
}

PHP: Simple files exporter

Export only certain files from a project directory to an external directory. Operating system: linux (can be addapted to Windows).
Define a short list of files which will be exported.
The PHP script also creates recursively the target directories. This will spare the user from waisting a lot of time creating complex folder/subfolder structures.

<?php

$files = '
folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/file1.php
folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/file2.php
folder1/folder2/folder5/folder6/folder7/file3.php
folder1/folder2/folder5/folder6/folder8/folder9/file4.php
';


$project_path = '/absolute-current-path-of-the-project';
$project_path_export = '/absolute-target-path-of-the-export-folder';


$files_array = explode("\n", trim($files));
foreach($files_array as $f) {
$f = trim($f);
if(is_file($project_path . '/' . $f)) {
// make target dir if necessary
$dirs = explode('/', $project_path_export . '/' . $f);
unset($dirs[count($dirs) - 1]);
