mattkirwan / CSV_Ripper.php

Created January 11, 2013 20:29

This gist uses PHP's built in SplFileObject class to loop through .csv file and pretty much do what you want with each row of data. Probably one of my most used snippets of code.

	<?php

	$file = 'data.csv';

	try {
	$csv = new SplFileObject($file, 'r');
	} catch (RuntimeException $e) {
	printf("Error opening .csv: %s\n", $e->getMessage());
	}

mattkirwan / flattenArray.php

Created January 29, 2013 19:20

Uses PHP's built in SPL Array Iterators to quickly spin through a multidimensional array and return a 'flattened' output.

	<?php

	function flattenArray( array $array )
	{
	$returned_array = array();

	foreach( new \RecursiveIteratorIterator( new \RecursiveArrayIterator($array) ) as $key => $value )
	{
	$returned_array[] = $value;
	}

mattkirwan / create-a-slug.php

Last active December 16, 2015 09:38

A quick function to create a url 'slug' from a given string.

	<?php

	function convertToSlug($input)
	{
	$text = preg_replace('~[^\\pL\d]+~u', '-', $input);
	$text = trim($text, '-');
	$text = strtolower($text);
	$text = preg_replace('~[^-\w]+~', '', $text);
	return $text;
	}

mattkirwan / generateChoice.php

Last active December 29, 2015 03:09

Nice little snippet to generate a customisable 'choice' array (up to 5 elements can be displayed) from an array of items - perfect for drop downs/checkboxes and such.

	<?php

	/***********************************************
	Raw Data:

	@$raw_data

	Array
	(
	[0] => Array

Problems you know you've solved but can't remember the solution....

	Q: Having problems with [usemin, grunt, useminprepare] not correctly renaming hook blocks in a [html, twig] template?
	A: Check the motherfucking line endings of that file and ensure they are 'Unix'.

	Q: Running a cron job and the script isn't firing?
	A: Don't forget to check the PATH variable is imported at the top of the .sh file

	Q: Having problems updating ModX directories (eg: core) and the /setup/ upgrade not working?
	A: Make sure you replace the files/directories with the cp -R command and not Finder. Because Finder merge is weird and shit.
