This bit of code is something I came up with a few years ago. I was trying to come up with a way to generate passwords and secure database names when I decided to build a function to do it for me. Basically, it takes your input, hashes it, then suggests potential passwords or database names.
I have no illusions that this is the most groundbreaking code snippet out there, but hopefully it will be of some use to people.
Since creating the original ASP function, I have made a PHP version of it as well.
After installing my new blog, I started working on converting my whole site over to PHP. Halfway through *that* process, I decided to go with Object Oriented Programming. Simply put, OOP helps separate different aspects of code into manageable chunks, called objects (or classes). I just want to say that nobody – and I mean nobody – should make such massive change in the middle of a project. I had pretty much converted my entire “Family & Friends” photo gallery over to PHP when I decided to do this. So now I get to rewrite it *again*.
The good news is that once I have done this, it will be easier for me to update my site overall. Style/layout changes will be simpler and more straightforward, and (in theory), my code will be neater and more manageable. I suppose I just have to survive the initial transition.
Well, I have finished installing a new blog software to my site. Unfortunately, the one I was writing just kept turning into more and more work. I went with an open-source PHP solution called Serendipity. So far I am quite happy with the results. It was fairly simple to integrate with my layout and offers more features than I will probably ever need from my blog. So yeah, good stuff.
