Computer & Technology / my crawler is at it again

« on: January 27, 2011, 09:24:57 PM »

Okay some of you know I have a crawler going through PH looking for pictures at http://phpix.freevar.com/ which is located on a super slow free webhost (sorry).

So a friend of mine introduced me to this hmong music site called ehmongmusic.co m, which I'm sure most of you have heard or been to.  The sites pretty good with a lot of music files but can't download anything off of it!

Saw a few post about people using software to try to get them and a youtube where this guy shows you how to get it from your cache.  These are all pretty crude way of getting it so I decided to try writing a crawler to retrieve the files for me.

Here's it in action, the crawler automatically creates the a folder and names the files.  Makes it all nice and tidy for me

Sharing something I created over the weekend because I don't really have time to be on PH but I love to look at photos posted by users here.  Thought it might be useful for someone too.

Computer & Technology / php recurring events

« on: August 26, 2010, 10:53:30 AM »

Hi,
I'm starting to work on a php based calendar (events) and I would like to implement a recurring events option.

Does anyone have any snippet or class that can calculate the dates if I provide the starting date, end date and occurrence? e.g. daily, weekly (s, m, t, w, th, f, s), monthly, annually.

Also, if you have any suggestion on sql/db setup, I'd appreciate your input.
I was thinking of doing the straight forward approach - every event having their own record.
So I'd set up two tables, one to store all the event records and one to store info on recurring events.
That way each record can be edited and old events are still accessible.


Thanks!

Computer & Technology / recommendation for test server

« on: May 06, 2010, 11:11:59 PM »

hi, our company want to get a test server so we can implement and run test on products that we work on.  we mainly do web design, cms implementation and customization, and other web stuff.   we also mainly work on php for now.
you guys got any ideas?  i'm not really a hardware or network guy.  my boss said we could purchase space from rackspace or get cloud servers, or whatever there is out there.  but i'm not sure what to recommend.  any inputs would be appreciated from you guys.
