Handy PHP functions should be in your toolkit

When developing projects, there are always some common work should be accomplished, for example, encrption/decryption, get IP. As a PHP developer, you should have a list of the handy functions in your toolkit so that you can pick up in every project you work on. Here is a summary of some handy PHP functions.

1. PHP encryption/decryption

Encryption/decryption can be used when storing user confidential information such as passwords. Below function uses base64 and MD5 to accomplish encryption/decryption.

function encryptDecrypt($key, $string, $decrypt){ 
    if($decrypt){ 
        $decrypted = rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), base64_decode($string), MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key))), "12"); 
        return $decrypted; 
    }else{ 
        $encrypted = base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), $string, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key)))); 
        return $encrypted; 
    } 
} 

Usage:

//Encryption
echo encryptDecrypt('password', 'Helloweba',0); 
//Decryption
echo encryptDecrypt('password', 'z0JAx4qMwcF+db5TNbp/xwdUM84snRsXvvpXuaCa4Bk=',1); 

2. Generate random string

This is useful when a temporary password or random name is needed.

function generateRandomString($length = 10) { 
    $characters = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'; 
    $randomString = ''; 
    for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) { 
        $randomString .= $characters[rand(0, strlen($characters) - 1)]; 
    } 
    return $randomString; 
} 

Usage:

echo generateRandomString(20); 

3. Get file extension name

Below function can be used to get file extension name.

function getExtension($filename){ 
  $myext = substr($filename, strrpos($filename, '.')); 
  return str_replace('.','',$myext); 
} 

Usage:

$filename = 'mydoc.doc'; 
echo getExtension($filename); 

4. Get formatted file size

Below function can be used to get file size in KB, MB format.

function formatSize($size) { 
    $sizes = array(" Bytes", " KB", " MB", " GB", " TB", " PB", " EB", " ZB", " YB"); 
    if ($size == 0) {  
        return('n/a');  
    } else { 
      return (round($size/pow(1024, ($i = floor(log($size, 1024)))), 2) . $sizes[$i]);  
    } 
} 

Usage:

$thefile = filesize('test_file.mp3'); 
echo formatSize($thefile); 

5. Tag replacement

Sometimes template tags should be replaced. This function can help us out. Actually, it can be used to replace any string you want.

function stringParser($string,$replacer){ 
    $result = str_replace(array_keys($replacer), array_values($replacer),$string); 
    return $result; 
} 

Usage:

$string = 'The {b}anchor text{/b} is the {b}actual word{/b} or words used {br}to describe the link {br}itself'; 
$replace_array = array('{b}' => '<b>','{/b}' => '</b>','{br}' => '<br />'); 
 
echo stringParser($string,$replace_array); 

6. List directory

function listDirFiles($DirPath){ 
    if($dir = opendir($DirPath)){ 
         while(($file = readdir($dir))!== false){ 
                if(!is_dir($DirPath.$file)) 
                { 
                    echo "filename: $file<br />"; 
                } 
         } 
    } 
} 

Usage:

listDirFiles('home/some_folder/'); 

7. Get current page URL

Below function can be used to get the current page URL no matter it's http or https.

function curPageURL() { 
    $pageURL = 'http'; 
    if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {$pageURL .= "s";} 
    $pageURL .= "://"; 
    if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") { 
        $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; 
    } else { 
        $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; 
    } 
    return $pageURL; 
} 

Usage:

echo curPageURL(); 

8. Force downloading file

If you don't want the browser to download the file instead of opening the file directly, below function can be used to achieve this. It uses application/octet-stream

function download($filename){ 
    if ((isset($filename))&&(file_exists($filename))){ 
       header("Content-length: ".filesize($filename)); 
       header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); 
       header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $filename . '"'); 
       readfile("$filename"); 
    } else { 
       echo "Looks like file does not exist!"; 
    } 
} 

Usage:

download('/down/test_45f73e852.zip'); 

9. Get client real IP

function getIp() { 
    if (getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP") && strcasecmp(getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP"), "unknown")) 
        $ip = getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP"); 
    else 
        if (getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") && strcasecmp(getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"), "unknown")) 
            $ip = getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"); 
        else 
            if (getenv("REMOTE_ADDR") && strcasecmp(getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"), "unknown")) 
                $ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"); 
            else 
                if (isset ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) && $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] && strcasecmp($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], "unknown")) 
                    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 
                else 
                    $ip = "unknown"; 
    return ($ip); 
} 

Usage:

echo getIp();

10. Detect SQL injection

function injCheck($sql_str) {  
    $check = preg_match('/select|insert|update|delete|\'|\/\*|\*|\.\.\/|\.\/|union|into|load_file|outfile/', $sql_str); 
    if ($check) { 
        echo '非法字符！！'; 
        exit; 
    } else { 
        return $sql_str; 
    } 
} 

Usage:

echo injCheck('1 or 1=1'); 

You may have your own list of functions in your toolkit, it will help many others if you share them.
