aziraphale / windowsFixGlobArgv.php
Last active January 11, 2016 16:14
Windows' cmd.exe doesn't expand filename globs passed to PHP (and others). This function expands glob strings in PHP's $argv array.
<?php
/**
* Fixes PHP's $argv array (or, rather, a list of filenames that is assumed to
* come from $argv) to expand glob strings on Windows, where the cmd.exe shell
* doesn't expand globs before passing arguments to called commands/programs.

Curious hack to allow scalar type hinting in PHP 5.2+
<?php
// Definining these four classes is actually optional; the code functions fine
// without them, but IDEs obviously bitch about undefined classes.
// All have final-private constructors to prevent them ever being instantiated
// (or we could pass *actual objects* of these types to our type-hinted
// functions, where we'd have code that expected a string suddenly finding
// itself dealing with an object!
class string { final private function __construct(){} }
class boolean { final private function __construct(){} }

Disable touch events on touchscreen devices when using JoelBesada's ScrollPath plugin (https://github.com/JoelBesada/scrollpath)
// Disable panning around the page on touchscreen devices (as this is totally incompatible with ScrollPath)
$(document).one('touchstart', function(){
$(document).on('touchmove', function(ev){
ev.preventDefault();
});
// Also hide the scrollbar
$('.sp-scroll-bar').hide();
});

Bcrypt in PHP Timings
To get an idea of the ideal number of bcrypt "rounds" to use for highest security without requiring
excessive CPU time, I wrote a little PHP script to hash a 9-character password with every possible
number of rounds (from 4 to 31), timing how long it takes to perform each hash.
This test was performed on an Intel Core i5-2500 CPU @ 3.3 GHz, running Windows 7 64-bit and
PHP 5.4.0 (x86; VC9; CLI). The machine was being used for general development work at the same
time, but the script was only single-threaded and the development work wasn't particularly heavy,
so the times should be fairly accurate.
RESULTS (times in seconds):
