Cycling through arrays without looping through it

	<?php

	/*
	I was faced with a problem where I had to cycle through a list of HTML colors and I thought this was
	a nice way of doing it. As array_shift returns the value you remove at the front, simply appending it
	to the array does the business. I thought I would share it in-case someone finds it useful.

So you want to be able to see what day it is and then fill an array to display something later on. This is how I did it. I am using this to track events happening within the following week. It could be used for a calendar system and so on.

	<?php

	# Define the days of the week
	$days = array(
	'Friday',
	'Saturday',
	'Sunday',
	'Monday',
	'Tuesday',
	'Wednesday',

Checking whether an array contains duplicate values or not

	<?php

	# Let's define a simple array to display the function
	$array = array("How", "Now", "Brown", "Cow", "With", "The", "Brown", "Fox");

	# Check if it contains a duplicate value?
	if ( count($array) !== count(array_unique($array)) )
	{
	echo "Contains Duplicate";
	}

PHP Tables Class. I use this class to create tables quicker without hand coding out the HTML. We basically treat the arrays are HTML properties=>values.

	<?php

	# Author: Rudi Strydom
	# Date: Aug 2013
	# Purpose: Building a quick and dirty table class. To transform an array to a table

	class Table
	{
	public $table_attributes = array();
	public $table_heading = array();

Someone else's script which I adapted to remove all the nasty Windows "Thumbs.db" files from my linux media drives.

	#!/usr/bin/python
	import os

	def findNremove(path,pattern,maxdepth=1):
	cpath=path.count(os.sep)
	for r,d,f in os.walk(path):
	if r.count(os.sep) - cpath <maxdepth:
	for files in f:
	#print files
	if files == pattern:

2nd Factory Authentication. The idea is for a second layer of authentication. This way it's a password which you need to complete a section of. i would possibly rather use a db to track the attempts etc as sessions could possibly be tampered with.

	<html>
	<head>
	<style>

	#passwordContainer
	{
	line-height: 30px;
	font-size: 30px;

SMS Tools Event Handler. So the idea to to create an event handler for SMS Tools, which will work in a similar way to a USSD session. User get's the menu with options. We SMS the options back to them. Then they issue a subsequent message to get the information they need back via SMS.

	#!/usr/bin/php
	<?php


	# This function will be used to get the information from the inbound SMS
	function decode($string)
	{
	# Split the text into lines
	$lines = explode("\n", $string);

Script to determine the perceived luminosity of an image. The darker the image the lower the number returned, the lighter the image the higher the number.

	<?php

	# Function to determine the average luminance of an image
	function image_avg_luminance($filename, $num_samples=10, $section="all")
	{

	# Variables required
	$img = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
	$width = imagesx($img);
	$height = imagesy($img);

Luminosity in practice

	<?php
	# Function to determine the average luminance of an image
	function image_avg_luminance($filename, $num_samples=10, $section="all")
	{

	# Variables required
	$img = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
	$width = imagesx($img);
	$height = imagesy($img);
	$x_step = intval($width/$num_samples);
