PHP: The Main Controller

Last time I wrote about using the index.php page as the gateway to the main controller:
http://dinocajic.blogspot.com/2015/07/php-using-indexphp-as-your-main.html

Since it's a secure habit to place all of your code outside of the visible directory (outside of the www or public_html folder), I've created a class that index.php directs all of the information to and that class is the one that actually processes everything.

Breakdown of the Main class
  • All files included in the beginning
  • All required classes instantiated
  • In the __construct(), the redirect is called to push all domains to a specific domain name
  • Due to the amount of times certain hacks are attempted on the server, I've decided to place some of the common ones in the preventHack() method and prevent them before any other code is called.
  • The available pages that the website contains are populated into an array
  • Headers are processed. i.e. Logs the user in if $_COOKIE's are set
  • Previous page is recorded
  • Current page is stored for statistics
  • The createWebsite() method is called from index.php. Everything else is self explanatory from this point on.

Creating your own ArrayList in Java

Wanted to show that certain data structures in Java can be created by you. In this example, we'll go ahead and create an ArrayList data structure that has some of the methods that the built in ArrayList class has. We'll create 2 constructors: The default constructor that creates an ArrayList with a default size of 10. Constructor that allows an initial size to be passed to the array. We'll also create a number of methods: void add(Object x);  A method that allows you to place an Object at the end of the ArrayList. void add(int index, Object x);  A method that allows you to place a value at a given location. Object get(int index):  Allows you to retrieve a value of the arrayList array from a given location. int size();  Allows you to get the number of elements currently in the Arraylist. boolean isEmpty();  Tests to see if the Arraylist is empty. boolean isIn(Object x);  A method that sees if a particular object exist in the arrayList. int ...

Programming Language Concepts Test Questions/Answers

One of the easiest methods that I use to learn new topics is by creating notes on the subject and then by turning those notes into questions and answers. Remembering answers to questions just seems more natural. I was able to memorize 323 questions and answers in a matter of a couple of days. I wanted to start doing this for some topics that I find pretty interesting. To begin, here are some questions and answers to Programming Language Concepts (PLC). I'm reading your mind right now and the answer is yes, there will be more. 1. Name 3 reasons for studying PLC. - Better understanding of current programming languages - Advancement of computing - Increased capability to express ideas - Increased capability to learn new programming language. - Better understanding of which programming language to choose.  2. Name the 5 programming domains and languages best suited for each. - Scientific (Fortran, ALGOL 60) - Business (COBOL) - AI (Lisp, Scheme, Prolog) - Web (PHP, ...
