Find Script Execution Time

February 4th, 2012 No Comments   Posted in Snippets

Very often web developers feel the need to find out their webpage’s loading time, this indeed is the script execution time. So here I will provide a method to find out the same using PHP in an easy way. We shall store the current time in a variable at the start of the script. Then execute the actual script. At the end of the file, we will again check the current time. We find the difference between the two noted times and this is the script execution time or the time taken by the server to execute the script. Here’s a sample code snippet which might be useful for better understanding.

<?php
//Store the current time into a variable
$started_at = microtime(true); 

// Write your script here, let us take an example of a for loop, which runs for 10 iterations

for($i=0;$i<10;$i++)
{
	$x = true;
}

//Again store the current time into a variable
$ended_at = microtime(true);
//Note that, this time is different from the one stored earlier

//The difference between the two timings is the time taken by the script to execute.

$time_taken = $ended_at - $started_at; 

echo 'Script execution time was '.$time_taken.' seconds';

//Note that the same script might have different execution times on different machines.

How many days old you are

Firstly we create a simple form and we include the birthday picker into it.

Accept the birthday into a variable say $bday.

Now $bday is an array consisting of 3 things “day”, “month” and “year”.

Take the current time in a variable $now.

Convert the birth date into time using strtotime function and store it in a variable say $bdate.

Now we have two variables, one $now and other $bdate

Find the difference between the two and store it in a new variable say $datediff

Now this difference is in number of seconds, so we have to convert it into days before we actually print it.

Hence we divide it by 60*60*24 (i.e. seconds->minutes->hours->days)

Now we display it.

Following is the code for the same :

You can save this file with any name.

<?php
	if($_POST)
	{
		$bday = $_POST["birth"];

		$now = time();
		$bdate = strtotime($bday["year"]."-".$bday["month"]."-".$bday["day"]);
		$datediff = $now - $bdate;
		$datediff = floor($datediff/(60*60*24));
	}

?>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

      });
    </script>
    <style type="text/css">
      html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
      h1 { margin: 0; padding-top: 20px; }
      fieldset { padding: none; border: none; }
      #container { height: 100%; width: 600px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 50px; background: #eee; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="container">
      <h1>How many days old I am</h1>
      <div id="examples">
		<form method="POST" action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
        <h3>Select Your Birthday</h3>
        <div class="picker" id="picker1"></div>
		<input type="submit" value="Find my age" />
		</form>
      </div>
	  <?php
		if($_POST)
			echo "<h3>You are ".$datediff." days old</h3>";
	  ?>
	</div>
</body>
</html>

For fully function of this script you will also require a javascript file which as you can see is included in the above file.
Name it as (compulsory) :
bday-picker.min.js

IMDB Information / Details Grabber in PHP

February 4th, 2012 No Comments   Posted in Snippets

Many a times you require IMDB details of a movie to be displayed on your site or to be stored in your database for some or the other reason. To solve this problem, I’ve written this small script which grabs all the details from the IMDB page and displays it.

Here’s an example code to grab all details of the movie Inception :

<?php

	include("simple_html_dom.php");

//url to imdb page
$url = 'http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/';

//get the page content
$imdb_content = file_get_contents($url);

$html = str_get_html($imdb_content);

$name = $html->find('title',0)->plaintext;

$director = $html->find('a[itemprop="director"]',0)->innertext;

$plot = $html->find('p[itemprop="description"]',0)->innertext;

$release_date = $html->find('time[itemprop="datePublished"]',0)->innertext;

$mpaa = $html->find('span[itemprop="contentRating"]',0)->innertext;

$run_time = $html->find('time[itemprop="duration"]',0)->innertext;

$img = $html->find('img[itemprop="image"]',0)->src;

$content = "";

//build content
$content.= '<h2>Film</h2><p>'.$name.'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>Director</h2><p>'.$director.'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>Plot</h2><p>'.$plot.'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>Release Date</h2><p>'.$release_date.'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>MPAA</h2><p>'.$mpaa.'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>Run Time</h2><p>'.$run_time.'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>Full Details</h2><p><a href="'.$url.'" rel="nofollow">'.$url.'</a></p>';
$content.= '<img src="'.$img.'" />';

echo $content;

?>

As you can see we have included a file at the top of the script. This is the Simple HTML DOM Parser. You can search on google to get more details about the same and how to use it.

You can download the latest version of that file by searching google for “Simple HTML DOM Parser” or alternatively copy this code and save it as simple_html_dom.php

Here goes the code : simple_html_dom.php

Encryption Using Caesar Cipher Using PHP

February 4th, 2012 No Comments   Posted in Snippets

Caesar cipher is one of the most simplest and widely known encryption technique, in cryptology.

It is also known as Shift Cipher, or Caesar’s Code or Caesar’s Shift.

Following is the technique for character substitution where 3 is used as a shift parameter/key :

Plain: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Cipher: DEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABC

Example :

Plain text : NIMISH
Cipher text : QLPLVK

You can use the following readymade function made by me to generate caesar cipher for a text.

Just pass the text to be encrypted to this function and it will return the cipher text.

function caesarcipher($plaintext)
{
	$l = strlen($plaintext);
	$encrypted_text = "";//initialized
	for($i=0;$i<$l;$i++)
	{
		$char_ascii = ord(substr($plaintext,$i,1));
		//ord() is a function which returns ascii when a char is passed to it as parameter...
		//substr() is function which returns substring of the string passed ($plaintext) from location ($i) till the length specified (1 in this case, since we need character and not string)
		if($char_ascii >= 65 && $char_ascii <= 90)
			$encrypted_text .= chr(65 + ($char_ascii-62)%26);
		else if($char_ascii >= 97 && $char_ascii <= 122)
			$encrypted_text .= chr(97 + ($char_ascii-94)%26);
		else
			$encrypted_text .= chr($char_ascii);
	}

	return $encrypted_text;
}

Here’s a code to practically implement it, following program generates a page with a text box and a button. User is expected to enter the string the text box and submit the form and the output will be generated which will be the cipher text.

<?

function caesarcipher($plaintext)
{
	$l = strlen($plaintext);
	$encrypted_text = "";//initialized
	for($i=0;$i<$l;$i++)
	{
		$char_ascii = ord(substr($plaintext,$i,1));
		//ord() is a function which returns ascii when a char is passed to it as parameter...
		//substr() is function which returns substring of the string passed ($plaintext) from location ($i) till the length specified (1 in this case, since we need character and not string)
		if($char_ascii >= 65 && $char_ascii <= 90)
			$encrypted_text .= chr(65 + ($char_ascii-62)%26);
		else if($char_ascii >= 97 && $char_ascii <= 122)
			$encrypted_text .= chr(97 + ($char_ascii-94)%26);
		else
			$encrypted_text .= chr($char_ascii);
	}

	return $encrypted_text;
}

if(isset($_POST["text"]))
{
	$text = $_POST["text"];
	echo caesarcipher($text);
}

?>
<form method=POST action="">
Enter text to encrypt : <input type="text" name="text"/>   <br/>
<input type="submit" value="Encrypt" />
