Web Framework

Sam Barrow — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 18:27:09 +0000

Attached is a copy of a very very alpha stage web framework I just made. I took most of the code from a site I’m developing, and removed the site specific stuff from it. It’s fairly advanced, just not fully complete.

Features includes:

An interactive command line mode (pipe your email, run cron jobs, all through the same application, with complete separation from the web interface)
An advanced controller/view architecture (no models yet).
Controllers run in a fully virtual environment (virtual IP, session, etc), allowing unit testing of practically anything.
A database revision system
An advanced exception model for comprehensive error reporting and logging
Maximum security with session hijacking and HTML/SQL injection prevention

Keep in mind, this is not CakePHP or Ruby on Rails. It doesn’t do as much for you, but in turn it provides maximum flexibility. This is not a “for dummies” framework, you have to know what you’re doing but it has major potential. Absolutely every line of code is written with maximum flexibility and modularity in mind.

It’s attached in a zip. Barely any documentation, if you have any questions at all though feel free to ask me.

URL Builder Class

Sam Barrow — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 21:26:40 +0000

This class allows you to build URLs using an easy object oriented interface.

Example:

// My blog

$url = new sb_url;
$url -> setDomain(’www.sambarrow.com’);

echo $url -> generate() . ‘
’;

// My blog archives

$url -> setPath(’/archives’);

echo $url -> generate() . ‘
’;

// My blog (using SSL)

$url -> setPath(’/');
$url -> setProtocol(sb_protocol_https);

echo $url -> generate() . ‘
’;

Fully object oriented + strongly typed PHP

Sam Barrow — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 20:07:41 +0000

I wrote a few classes today allowing you to use all of your types as objects (like in Java).

$string = new vstring(’Hello!’);
$upper = $string -> upper();
echo $upper -> get();

This will output “HELLO!”

This new type hinting patch includes support for objects with __toString methods, allowing them to pass a string type hint.

Brute force login attack protection system

Sam Barrow — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:34:20 +0000

This script allows a user X failed logins. After this, their account is locked for N minutes. After the lock ends, they are allowed X more failed logins, and the process starts from the beginning. All logins are logged with IP address and timestamp.

This script is specific to a site I recently made, so it will have to be adapted to your login system. I can do this if you are interested, charging for my time, or you can do it, just replace my site specific functions (alerts_add, app_redirect, and db_*) and create the tables.

Common matching functions

These are 3 functions that will match zip codes, alphanumeric strings, and email address.

Database Select Query Builder

Sam Barrow — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 21:16:33 +0000

Just something I was messing around with. I made a class that allows you to build your own queries, with full support for conditionals. Pretty interesting, take a look. It’s all done using object oriented.

Database Security Functions

Sam Barrow — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 18:13:52 +0000

These two functions escape data for sql queries, and apply backticks to table/column names. They can be used in conjunction with the mysql functions for easy updating, insertion, etc. that I will be posting soon.

My Ubuntu Hardware Site

Sam Barrow — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 15:26:03 +0000

Many of you may have heard of my Ubuntu Linux hardware compatibility site. For those that are not aware, I did a complete from-scratch rewrite a couple of weeks back, along with new hosting. You can check out the new site at ubuntuhcl.org.
