Places for homeless code snippets from the thematic project seminars and workshops.

Review Generator v0.01

Built in Nicolas Maleve's thematic project workshop. More information available here Below is the php code that shuffles the lines of the textfile and prints them to the webpage.

<?php

$goodlines = file('good.txt'); //the 'good' text file to read from
shuffle($goodlines); //randomise array order
$badlines = file('bad.txt');
shuffle($badlines);
$numLines = rand(1, 8); //random number of sentences in review - min 1, max 8 sentences

for ($i=0; $i<$numLines; $i++){

        $currline = $goodlines[$i]; //store the current line  $currline
        if(preg_match("*name*", $currline)){ //if *name* is found, insert the form element 'name'   
                $currline = preg_replace("*name*", htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']), $currline);
        }
        if(preg_match("*city*", $currline)){ //if *city* is found, insert form element 'city'
                $currline = preg_replace("*city*", htmlspecialchars($_POST['city']), $currline);
        }
        echo $currline; //print edited $currline
}
?>

Script for Literal Draw/SVGs etc

Places pixels based on an ascii grid template - an 'X' = a pixel relative to that point on the canvas, any other text character leaves a blank space. The script expects a grid.txt argument [String], a starting x [int], and y [int] argument, a pixel size [int], and an outputfile_name.txt [string].
