Easy Twitter Authentication Example/Code

I’ve created a class (based on Jaisen Mathai’s oAuth classes) for easiest use of Twitter – for authentication! Have a look on implementation:

<?php
    session_start();

    // authenticate twitter users

    require_once 'twitterWrapper.php';
    $myT = new twitterWrapper();
    $myT->authenticate();

    // security check done. To print the user's Twitter username, you can call:

    echo "Thanks for authenticating yourself, " . $myT->getIdentifier();
?>

A detailed usage can be viewed here. To grab the class from free, Download it from PHP Classes Site!

PHP Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in

Are you trying to access any object’s property (variables/functions) using: $this->$property ?

Check out the red $ should not appear before object properties. In contrast:

<?php
	class A{
		$b = "some value";

		public function get_b(){
			return $this->$b;	// WRONG !!!
		}
	}

	// Using the class

	$myObject = new A();
	echo $myObject-$get_b();	// WRONG!!!
?>

the above code segment is wrong. You should use $ only once – before ‘ this’ only. No need to use $ sign before class variables or methods.

Correct version of the above code segment:

<?php
	class A{
		$b = "some value";

		public function get_b(){
			return $this->b;
		}
	}

	// Using the class

	$myObject = new A();
	echo $myObject-get_b();
?>

Bangla/Bengali Web File Manager by PHP বাংলা ফাইল ম্যানেজার

Hello, everybody! Today I’m going to share one of my little but proud contributions to the Bengali language – A Complete Bangla File Manager written in PHP. No, I didn’t write the core file manager script, as there are plenty of scripts available written by professional coders. So I chose File Thingie, a singe-file open source PHP based file manager script. The next thing I did, translated it to my mother lagnguage Bengali 🙂

Check out the screenshots:

So what you need to do?

1. Download latest copy of File Thingie from here (recommended 2.5.3)
2. Download Bangla Translation extension from here. Rename it to “ft_lang_bn.php” & put it in the same folder where your downloaded copy of File Thingie resides.
3. Edit the file thingie script, select Bangla as the default language. All you need to do, is simply edit the File Thingie script, find the line containing $ft[“settings”][“LANG”] and set it to bn:

$ft[“settings”][“LANG”]              = “bn”;

Now it should be working properly, as working properly in my servers:

Anyway, I think your tasks are simplified, since translating is not that kind of job for a programmer 😦 Anyway, some of my translations are spelled incorrectly, some of them might not be suitable. Please let me know about them. And you’re always at your freedom to modify the code as you need!

Note: My translation also stays in the translation packages-download page of File thingie. But i recommend to download it from the hostcode-site, as i may update the script later.

So fire up your bangla file manager now!!!

Free PHP FTP Uploader Script

As many of you already know, & rest will be known by the end of the post that you can make FTP connections and actions by PHP, we can create a simple one-page FTP based File Uploader running in PHP 🙂

Well, are you wondering, what’s the need of this heck when we can already upload files by simple PHP calls? Well, many of us run our files on Free Hosting Providers, and they dont allow us to write files. They simply restrict opening files in Write mode, so though we can read the file from a remote location, we can’t write it safely in our server 😦

So if we want to copy some files from another server to our server, & if you’re allowed to make FTP connections (that means you have an FTP username & password) we can use the script below. This is a one file PHP script, Put it in the directory where you want to upload files, and use it with simple efforts.

The Script

Yes, it’s free 🙂 Grab it from here

The code is pretty self-explanatory, so if you’re going to modify it, you’ll find it a piece of cake!

Screenshot

Really simple huh?

Issues

• If FTP is not enabled in your server configuration, this will not work. Check your PHP configuration by phpinfo();
• If your server configuration restricts remote opening file (reading files hosted in other server) , this will not work.
