Nominees to win the award of September of 2008

Class: Intelligent Censor Description: Replace rude words by acceptable alternatives Author: sk89q Age: 19 Country: United States Comment: Sites that provide means for the users to communicate without human moderation, like for instance forums and chat sites, sometimes users may use rude words that are offensive to other users. In that case, the offenses could be avoided if rude words could be censored automatically. This class provides an automated solution that censors some well known rude words by more acceptable words that express the same ideas without being so offensive. Class: MemNestedSet Description: Manage a nested set of elements stored in arrays Author: Alan H. Lake Age: 67 Country: Finland Comment: A nested set is usually associated to a method created by Joe Celko to store hierarchic data structures in a relational database in a way that is more efficient to perform several types of operations to store and retrieve nodes in a tree structure. This class provides an implementation of nested set manipulation stored in the memory as array nodes. Class: Synchronize DB Description: Synchronize two MySQL databases Author: Cristian Vrinceanu Age: 31 Country: Romania Comment: Sometimes it is necessary access a database in a remote site but the connection to that site may not be always available. A common solution for that problem is to keep a local slave database with a copy of the information in the remote master database. Then when the connectivity with the remote site becomes available again, the master and slave databases are synchronized. This class implements a solution that can perform such kind of synchronization between a master and a slave MySQL database. Class: Binary search Description: Search for data in files using binary search Author: Alex Fourth Age: 26 Country: Ukraine Comment: Sometimes it is necessary to search a large amount of data for given information. One way to reduce the time that is necessary to search the data is to store it in a file sorted by the key search values. Then we can used the binary search algorithm to quickly find the data in the file without having to load it all at once in memory. This class implements the binary search algorithm in pure PHP code. Class: Price Comparison Shopping by DataFeedFile.com Description: Generate price comparison site with DataFeedFile Author: Andrew Nurcahya Age: 32 Country: United States Comment: Price comparison sites are very popular as they help customers finding stores that sell the products they want for the lowest price. Such sites can earn money in commissions over the sales or customers lead to the e-commerce sites. This package provides a solution for quickly building generic price comparison sites in PHP as affiliates of the DataFeedFile.com site. Class: Relink Description: Rewrite URLs based on mod_rewrite configuration Author: Benjamin Falk Age: 18 Country: Austria Comment: mod_rewrite is an Apache server module that converts the URLs used to access to a site to URLs of a different format using regular expressions. mod_rewrite is often used to make a site use friendly URLs for pages that are easier to read by the users. However, if you have a regular URL and need to go back the friendly URL, usually the site code must know the URL rewriting rules. This class provides a different solution that allows a site to automatically determine the URLs of a page before being rewritten. It reads Apache configuration files and reverts the mod_rewrite rules applied to a site relative URL. Class: debugTools Description: Display PHP execution information in a page Author: Andreas Christodoulou Age: 26 Country: Cyprus Comment: Debug tools are very useful when you need to determine the cause of problems of implementation of a site. This class provides a debug tool that presents many types of relevant information in the current Web page in an easy and smooth way to navigate. Class: Curl Auto Site Form Post Class Description: Submit forms using values retrieved from a page Author: mustafa yontar Age: 28 Country: Turkey Comment: Sometimes it is necessary to retrieve information that is only available in pages that are served by sites upon submitting forms. This class can automate that process by retrieving a page with a form then and emulating the submission of the form with the values set in its fields. Class: Check backup Description: Manage backup copies of files Author: zengwenjie Age: 29 Country: China Comment: Keeping backup copies of vital files is a task that all sites should perform regularly in order to recover from eventual accidents or destructive security attacks. Often it is necessary to keep not one but several sets of backup copies of the same files taken on different moments, in case it is necessary to recover information that is no longer available in the latest backup sessions. This class provides an efficient incremental backup solution that only copies copies of files that changed since the last backup session. At the same time it rotates the backup archives so old backup data is still available. Vote

• PHP Classes site tip of the day:

Advertise your business efficiently Every successful business needs to be advertised to expand. Businesses need to aim their advertising efforts to their target market or else they loose money. Google has a program named AdWords that lets you automatically target your business advertising efforts to the pages of the sites visited by your potencial clients. You just choose your ad text and a few keywords about the products or services that you want to sell, and your advertising budget limit. In a few minutes Google starts showing your ads in sites with pages related with the keywords that you have chosen. This is a low risk advertising option because you only pay for the users that are lead to your business site after clicking in your ads. You do not pay when the ads are seen but not clicked by the users. The PHP Classes site has been placing Google target ads since 2003, on behalf of many happy advertisers that are attracting many clients really interested in their products or services. Additionally, you may target your advertising campaigns to specific sites like PHP Classes or others more related to your business.Look here for more information
