Date Diffrence In Days

Introduction

This code will give you the diffrence between the two dates in days.Some time it is required in the program to get diff. between two dates.It is so small and very efficient code.

//

// Any source code blocks look like this

//


        t1="10/10/2006" ;

        t2="15/10/2006";

 
   //Total time for one day

        var one_day=1000*60*60*24; 

//Here we need to split the inputed dates to convert them into standard format

for furter execution
        var x=t1.split("/");     
        var y=t2.split("/");
  //date format(Fullyear,month,date) 


        var date1=new Date(x[2],(x[1]-1),x[0]);
  
        var date2=new Date(y[2],(y[1]-1),y[0])
        var month1=x[1]-1;
        var month2=y[1]-1;
        
        //Calculate difference between the two dates, and convert to days


               
        _Diff=Math.ceil((date2.getTime()-date1.getTime())/(one_day)); 
//_Diff gives the diffrence between the two dates.

Mod Rewrite Tips and Examples

For example, to limit the next 5 RewriteRules to only be applied to .html and .php files, you can use the following code, which tests if the url does not end in .html or .php and if it doesn’t, it will skip the next 5 RewriteRules.



RewriteRule !\.(html|php)$ - [S=5]

RewriteRule ^.*-(vf12|vf13|vf5|vf35|vf1|vf10|vf33|vf8).+$ - [S=1]



.htaccess rewrite examples should begin with:

Options +FollowSymLinks



RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

Require the www

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.askapache\.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.askapache.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Loop Stopping Code

Sometimes your rewrites cause infinite loops, stop it with one of these rewrite code snippets.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(stats/|missing\.html|failed_auth\.html|error/).* [NC]

RewriteRule .* - [L]



RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200

RewriteRule .* - [L]

Cache-Friendly File Names

This is probably my favorite, and I use it on every site I work on. It allows me to update my javascript and css files in my visitors cache’s simply by naming them differently in the html, on the server they stay the same name. This rewrites all files for /zap/j/anything-anynumber.js to /zap/j/anything.js and /zap/c/anything-anynumber.css to /zap/c/anything.css

RewriteRule ^zap/(j|c)/([a-z]+)-([0-9]+)\.(js|css)$ /zap/$1/$2.$4 [L]



SEO friendly link for non-flash browsers

When you use flash on your site and you properly supply a link to download flash that shows up for non-flash aware browsers, it is nice to use a shortcut to keep your code clean and your external links to a minimum. This code allows me to link to site.com/getflash/ for non-flash aware browsers.

RewriteRule ^getflash/?$ http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [NC,L,R=307]



Removing the Query_String

On many sites, the page will be displayed for both page.html and page.html?anything=anything, which hurts your SEO with duplicate content. An easy way to fix this issue is to redirect external requests containing a query string to the same uri without the query_string.

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /.*\;.*\ HTTP/

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$

RewriteRule .* http://www.askapache.com%{REQUEST_URI}? [R=301,L]

Sending requests to a php script

This .htaccess rewrite example invisibly rewrites requests for all Adobe pdf files to be handled by /cgi-bin/pdf-script.php

RewriteRule ^(.+)\.pdf$ /cgi-bin/pdf-script.php?file=$1.pdf [L,NC,QSA]

Setting the language variable based on Client

For sites using multiviews or with multiple language capabilities, it is nice to be able to send the correct language automatically based on the clients preferred language.

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^.*(de|es|fr|it|ja|ru|en).*$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [env=prefer-language:%1]



Deny Access To Everyone Except PHP fopen

This allows access to all files by php fopen, but denies anyone else.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.+$ [NC]

RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

Deny access to anything in a subfolder except php fopen

This can be very handy if you want to serve media files or special downloads but only through a php proxy script.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+)/.*\ HTTP [NC]

RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

Require no www

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^askapache\.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://askapache.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Check for a key in QUERY_STRING

Uses a RewriteCond Directive to check QUERY_STRING for passkey, if it doesn’t find it it redirects all requests for anything in the /logged-in/ directory to the /login.php script.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !passkey

RewriteRule ^/logged-in/(.*)$ /login.php [L]

Removes the QUERY_STRING from the URL

If the QUERY_STRING has any value at all besides blank than the?at the end of /login.php? tells mod_rewrite to remove the QUERY_STRING from login.php and redirect.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .

RewriteRule ^login.php /login.php? [L]

Fix for infinite loops

An error message related to this isRequest exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.or you may seeRequest exceeded the limit,probable configuration error,Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace, orUse 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200

RewriteRule .* - [L]

External Redirect .php files to .html files (SEO friendly)

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ /$1.html [R=301,L]

Internal Redirect .php files to .html files (SEO friendly)

Redirects all files that end in .html to be served from filename.php so it looks like all your pages are .html but really they are .php

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php [R=301,L]



block access to files during certain hours of the day

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

# If the hour is 16 (4 PM) Then deny all access

RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} ^16$

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F,L]



Rewrite underscores to hyphens for SEO URL

Converts all underscores “_” in urls to hyphens “-” for SEO benefits… See the full article for more info.

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

; rel=prefetch"

This module uses a rule-based rewriting engine (based on a regular-expression parser) to rewrite requested URLs on the fly. It supports an unlimited number of rules and an unlimited number of attached rule conditions for each rule, to provide a really flexible and powerful URL manipulation mechanism. The URL manipulations can depend on various tests, of server variables, environment variables, HTTP headers, or time stamps. Even external database lookups in various formats can be used to achieve highly granular URL matching.

This module operates on the full URLs (including the path-info part) both in per-server context (httpd.conf) and per-directory context (.htaccess) and can generate query-string parts on result. The rewritten result can lead to internal sub-processing, external request redirection or even to an internal proxy throughput.

Further details, discussion, and examples, are provided in the detailed mod_rewrite documentation.

PDF Protection

Informations

Author: Klemen Vodopivec

License: Freeware

Description

This script allows to protect the PDF, that is to say prevent people from copying its content, print it or modify it.



SetProtection([array permissions [, string user_pass [, string owner_pass]]])



permissions: the set of permissions. Empty by default (only viewing is allowed).

user_pass: user password. Empty by default.

owner_pass: owner password. If not specified, a random value is used.



The permission array is composed of values taken from the following ones:

• copy: copy text and images to the clipboard


• print: print the document


• modify: modify it (except for annotations and forms)


• annot-forms: add annotations and forms

Remark: the protection against modification is for people who have the full Acrobat product.



If you don't set any password, the document will open as usual. If you set a user password, the PDF viewer will ask for it before displaying the document. The master password, if different from the user one, can be used to get full access.



Note: protecting a document requires to encrypt it, which increases the processing time a lot. This can cause a PHP time-out in some cases, especially if the document contains images or fonts.

Get metadata on MySQL databases

Getting information about databases if essential if you want to write generic and scalable applications. This code shows you how to get information such as all databases on the server, all tables in each database and all field and field info for each table. Even if you do not need to build on this code, you might want to copy the code which prints out all databases, tables and field information plus examples. Its a great way to get an overview of the tables you are working on for a project.

<?

//getting metadata on MySQL databases



//output the structure of a table

$connection_1 = mysql_connect("localhost");

$fields = mysql_list_fields("cmphp","rights");

for($i=0;$i<mysql_num_fields($fields);$i++) {
