Please read Arrays and Array Processing in PHP for an introduction to arrays in PHP. You may also want to read Sorting Arrays in PHP…Some Sorting Functions and Other Ways of Initializing Arrays in PHP. shuffle() Function This function can shuffle or randomly arrange the elements of an arrays. It takes an arrays as argument and manipulates on the original array passed. $ar=array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7); shuffle($ar); //$ar=array(7) { [0]=> int(5) [1]=>  //int(4) [2]=> int(3) [3]=> int(1)  //[4]=> int(6) [5]=> int(7) [6]=> int(2) } //will be different for each run As you can see the elements of the array ‘$ar’

PHP has got wide range of in-built functions for manipulating strings, in the post String Manipulation functions in PHP we discussed some of them which are frequently used/needed. Here we’ll be discussing about the rest of the functions, but again not all of them. implode() or join() function Prototype: string implode(string separator, array arr); This function does the opposite of explode() function. Explode divides a string into array of strings on a separator, this one joins an array of strings with a separator to form a string. join() and implode() functions are identical. $str="PHP is a web programming language."; $ar=explode(' ',$str); //now $ar contains each word of the str

Is medicated memory manipulation ethically sound? And perhaps more importantly, who should be charged with the decision to deliver such a treatment: patient or physician? Elisa Hurley, a philosophy professor, is seeking answers to these questions in her research currently underway at The University of Western Ontario. In the Academy Award-winning film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a fictional, non-surgical procedure called 'targeted memory erasure' is used to delete painful memories the afflicted wish to forget - permanently. And while the story's science-fiction based concept earned the movie an Oscar for best original screenplay, real-life scientists are conducting clinical trials today using beta-blockers - drugs traditionally used for varying heart conditions - for manipulatin

In the previous post Properties of String in PHP, we were discussing about the different properties of strings in PHP. String manipulation as you know, is an important part of web programming. PHP being a web programming language thus provides good set of string manipulation functions. In this post we’re going to discuss some of those which arte frequently needed. 1. trim() function Prototype: string trim (string str); This function strips white spaces from the start and end of the string supplied returning the resulting string.. When we have to take user input via form, it’d be a good idea to “trim” the variables as extra white spaces sometimes creep in. $name=trim($_GET['name']; 2. explode() function Prototype: array&nbs

One good outcome from the Kimkins disaster is that a lot of people have gotten much more discerning about things they read. Is the material education or manipulation? Is it the truth?

The GIMPThis is a fully featured image editor with an interesting name - it stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program (apparently). This is an incredibly powerful application with features that rivals professional software like Photoshop.

Nevertheless many people do use it on Windows machines and enjoy its powerful features although for the novice user it's stark interface may take some getting used to.Paint.netWhereas the GIMP's interface may take some getting used to Paint.net's is friendly and intuitive, and while Pain.net is not as feature-rich as the GIMP it is still a powerful image manipulation tool with many of the

If we had a mad scientist develop a weather machine, and we truly could control the weather, we could solve global warming and work toward ending world hunger. We'd be able to send rain to deserts and allow farmers to grow far more crops. We could make it cool in hot areas using concentrated clouds. We could make it snow where and when it is necessary.First, though, we'd have to learn how to use the system, and the repercussions for each action. I'll bet making one thing happen will set many other areas off-balance. After a few years of rigorous testing, and many setbacks and mistakes, we'd finally be able to use weather manipulation the right way. Wouldn't that be grand.

I've been pretty wiped out lately. After getting back from our trip last week, I've had to confront the piles of tasks I'm supposed to do and it's stressing me out. It doesn't help that my brain is stuck in vacation mode.Yesterday I had just come up from doing laundry in the apartment complex garage. I jotted down three more items on my to-do list then collapsed on the couch. My two year old came hopping over to me. "Mommy, can you read me this book?" she asked, and shoved "Green Eggs and Ham" in my face."No." I snapped. "Mommy is tired of running around and is just going to sit still on this couch for five minutes and do NOTHING." I waited with gritted teeth for Penny to burst into tears."Oh, no problem," she said. "Why don't you go lie down in my bed. It's really comfortable."That was unexpected. "Okay," I said. "That sounds like a great idea." I picked up my lazy bones and trudged off to her toddler bed. Curling up into a little ball, I snuggled into her piles of s

This is the continuation of the article String Manipulation Functions (string.h) in which we’re discussing about the string manipulation functions. Here I have listed 8 functions along with their prototype (simplified) and a short description. One thing to note here is that unlike the last article on this topic, I have not included example programs, since the functions (with their prototypes) are pretty much straightforward. strlwr: Prototype: char *strlwr(char *) This function converts the given string to lowercase and returns the same. strupr: Prototype: char *strupr(char *) This function converts the given string to UPPERCASE and returns it. strncat: Prototype: strncat(char *str1, const char *str2, int n) It appends first ‘n’ characters of str2 to the end of str1. strncpy: Prototype: int strncmp(char *str1, const char *str2, int n) This function compares first ‘n’ characters of str1 with str2, it returns 0 if

This article discusses about the classic string manipulation functions defined in the string.h header file. From quite a while peoples have been asking me to write an article on the standard library string manipulation functions. These functions are defined in the string.h header file, so you must include it to use them. There are dozens of string functions in the string.h header file and thus it is difficult to list them all. So rather than listing them all I would be discussing in detail about only few commonly used string manipulation functions along with an example program illustrating how each function is used. strlen: Prototype: int strlen(const char *string); This function takes the base address of the string as the argument and returns the number of characters in it (including spaces). // strlen() string manipulation // function #include<iostream.h> #include<string.h> void main(void) { char ch[]="String Manipulation"

(Image Courtesy Sam Torode)Real Estate Confession - Jim Sinclair's MineSet 4/21/07Jim,Today in the Las Vegas Review Journal business section, the headline article was "Home Sales Stats Bleak". Within the article there was insight into the gimmicks being used by our government and the National Association of Realtors to manipulate stats in favor of a rosier picture. Jim Sinclair has speculated that housing stats figures such as "closings" and "home sales" are being bolstered by the inclusion of foreclosed home transfers from the owner back to the banks. That presumption was confirmed today in the Review Journal article. Larry Murphy of Las Vegas-based SalesTraq told about 1,000 real estate professionals "there are some alarming figures, like the 402 bank repossessions that accounted for 13 percent of the 3,175 existing home closings in March. That's up from the 9 percent in both February (231) and January (248), Murphy said".Despite the inclusion of foreclosures, existing home sales a

Yet taking into account the fact that human freedom is always a freedom shared with others, it is clear that the harmony of freedom can be found only in what is common to all: the truth of the human being, the fundamental message of being itself, exactly the lex naturalis."And how can we not mention, on one hand, the demand of justice that manifests itself in giving unicuique suum and, on the other, the expectation of solidarity that nourishes in everyone, especially if they are poor, the hope of the help of the more fortunate?"In these values are expressed unbreak

Pipes is a new Yahoo! project that allows the Average Joe to aggregate data from feeds and manipulate it through a friendly interface. This simple tool will certainly invite innovative and creative uses of data around the world to do neat things like match Flickr photos with New York Times stories and search eBay with no ads (my favorite so far). The editing interface is full of modules which allow you to import, manipulate, or output data. Arguably the most convenient feature is the ability to clone existing pipes to improve them and make them your own. The entire system and community seem to be progressing nicely, as new modules are being added each week. Can’t wait to see even more mashups come from Yahoo!

Calling their actions "journalistic malpractice" columnist Mitchell Anderson deftly outlines the failure of our media system and the role of big oil in manufacturing that failure.the public is being misinformed on climate science by poor journalism that continues to tell both sides of the story even when there is no other side. The resultant political inaction might well kill the planet.The opinions of any so called global warming "skeptic" should be considered null and void until unless they can refute the contents of this article.The piece also offers some valuable reading for anyone who wants to be informed about the truth about global warming and are also listed under the new Must Reads header on the Conscious Earth's sidebar.

HAVANA -- Cuba's trade with China more than doubled in 2006 to nearly $1.8 billion, the Chinese customs office said Monday, as the Communist-run island prioritized its new revolutionary partners China and Venezuela. Since Cuba signed an agreement with Venezuela in late 2004 bartering and selling services for oil and also began receiving more credit from China, it has ordered all state companies to prioritize trade and investment with the two countries. China reported bilateral trade was $1.792 billion last year, up 105.4 percent from 2005 and compared with just $526 million in 2004. Cuban Vice President Carlos Lage said in January that bilateral trade with Venezuela was $2.6 billion in 2006, compared with $2 billion in 2005 and $1.4 billion in 2004. The Cuban government reported trade grew 27 percent in 2006, compared with the $9.5 billion reported in 2005, or to around $12 billion, meaning China and Venezuela accounted for more than 35 percent of all trade. Chinese ap
