Now I want to share a little application on the basis of that class.

“Quick CSV Import with Mapping” is a PHP example application that imports CSV file to a database table with visual mapping of CSV columns to table columns.

Of course, you can get a copy of the application source – just go to the SVN repository.

Don’t forget to send me your feedback and donations ;]

P.S. If you are having problems with going to step 2 while using the app, try the following:

1. Open Quick_CSV_import.class and find “LOAD DATA INFILE“
2. change it to “LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE“

It’s connected with permissions at your Linux server. Thanks to Noel for the solution.

I have 8 classes submitted. Calculation shows that 7% of my blogs visitors are my classes downloaders and viewers for all the time my classes and blogs exist, and 11% – for last week.

Take into account, that

• I get these people to me without any move – I have just placed the links once.
• in-bound links improve Google PageRank
• count of links is limited only by your imagination ;]

To check that all my classes have all needed links in “Related links” section, I wrote a PHP script that adds a link if it’s not present on your class page. It was written fast so there not so much error checks; to use it, just

1. type your login/pass,
2. list IDs of your classes and
3. define the list of links to be placed in “Related links” section of every class page.

Script supports more than one login/pass pair. If such link is already present, it will be skipped. CURL is required for your PHP server.

You can download it and use for free.

I wrote this class as a test task while an interview for a new job. Results were so impressive for me, that I decided to share this piece of code: it finds result in 10Gb file for less than 5 seconds! File must contain key/value pairs (separator can be defined, by default it’s equal sign), and these pairs are sorted by keys. You define what key to search and get correspondent value very quickly.

For example:

Ann=5
Bob=3
Sandy=8
Zulu=1

If you search “Sandy”, you’ll get result “8″. Very quick :]

As a prize I selected an Apress book called “From Program to Product” – though I found it in PDF, it seems to be quite insightfull for me: we, developers, always think about code, and never about how to sell it. I have several product ideas, so I hope the book would help me to succeed.

P.S. Fun is that a few people emailed me to say how nice my new PHP Classes avatar is :] Thanks to Anton Dovgal for such a great picture of sad me.

Thanks to everyone voted for me!

You can check a demo here.

Vote for it!

The class generates words that phonetically are equal to the given one, but are written differently.
