As a result, the Bureau is protecting consumers by aggressively investigating and acting against such unlawfulintentional interference.

There comes a time in a programmers life when you want or need to grab the filename of a file, but not the file extension, while using PHP.
Here’s how to do just that:
$filename = pathinfo(‘./bin/myimage.jpg’, PATHINFO_FILENAME); echo $filename;

There comes a time when you want to check the ip address of a domain, you know, just in case you have the host file overridden or when you’re transferring a domain over to a new server. Here’s a little script to help you do that, and it’s based on PHP because that’s God’s programming language of choice.
#!/usr/bin/php <?php $opt = getopt(”, array(‘host:’)); if(isset($opt[‘host’])) { // get ip from host $host = starts_with($opt[‘host’], ‘http’) ? parse_url($opt[‘host’], PHP_URL_HOST) : $opt[‘host’]; $ip = gethostbyname($host); echo $ip .

The previous example will list all the images with extensions png, gif, jpg or jpeg. This works fine for the most part, but what if someone is a jerk and forgets the extension, or maybe they had the extension capitalized? Well, if it’s capitalized, you can just add that to the brackets, but if there isn’t
