1, Super simple page Caching
If your project is not based on a CMS system or framework, creating a simple caching system will be very real. The following code is simple, but it can solve the problem for small web sites.
Copy Code code as follows:
<?php
Define the path and name of cached file
$cachefile = ' cached-files/'. Date (' M-d-y '). PHP ';
Define how long we want to keep the file in seconds. I set mine to 5 hours.
$cachetime = 18000;
Check If the cached file is still fresh. If It is, serve it up and exit.
if (file_exists ($cachefile) && time ()-$cachetime < Filemtime ($cachefile)) {
Include ($cachefile);
Exit
}
If there is either no file OR the file to too old, render the page and capture the HTML.
Ob_start ();
?>
Output all your HTML here.
<?php
We ' re done! Save the cached content to a file
$fp = fopen ($cachefile, ' w ');
Fwrite ($FP, ob_get_contents ());
Fclose ($FP);
Finally send browser output
Ob_end_flush ();
?>

2. Calculate the distance in PHP
This is a very useful distance calculation function, using latitude and longitude to calculate the distance from A location to B location. The function can return miles, kilometers, nautical kilometres of three units of distance.
Copy Code code as follows:
function distance ($lat 1, $lon 1, $lat 2, $lon 2, $unit) {
$theta = $lon 1-$lon 2;
$dist = sin (Deg2rad ($lat 1)) * Sin (Deg2rad ($lat 2)) + cos (Deg2rad ($lat 1)) * cos (Deg2rad ($lat 2)) * cos (Deg2rad ($theta));
$dist = ACOs ($dist);
$dist = Rad2deg ($dist);
$miles = $dist * 60 * 1.1515;
$unit = Strtoupper ($unit);
if ($unit = = "K") {
Return ($miles * 1.609344);
else if ($unit = = "N") {
Return ($miles * 0.8684);
} else {
return $miles;
}
}
How to use:
Copy Code code as follows:
echo Distance (32.9697, -96.80322, 29.46786, -98.53506, "K"). "Kilometers";

3, convert the number of seconds to the time (year, month, day, hour ...). )
This useful function converts the event in seconds to a time format such as year, month, day, hour, and so on.
Copy Code code as follows:
function Sec2time ($time) {
if (Is_numeric ($time)) {
$value = Array (
"Years" => 0, "days" => 0, "hours" => 0,
"Minutes" => 0, "seconds" => 0,
);
if ($time >= 31556926) {
$value ["years"] = Floor ($time/31556926);
$time = ($time%31556926);
}
if ($time >= 86400) {
$value ["days"] = Floor ($time/86400);
$time = ($time%86400);
}
if ($time >= 3600) {
$value ["hours"] = floor ($time/3600);
$time = ($time%3600);
}
if ($time >= 60) {
$value ["minutes"] = floor ($time/60);
$time = ($time%60);
}
$value ["seconds"] = floor ($time);
Return (array) $value;
}else{
return (bool) FALSE;
}
}

4. Force download file
Some files, such as the MP3 type, are usually played or used directly in the client browser. If you want them to be forced to be downloaded, there's no problem. You can use the following code:
Copy Code code as follows:
function DownloadFile ($file) {
$file _name = $file;
$mime = ' application/force-download ';
Header (' Pragma:public '); Required
Header (' expires:0 '); No cache
Header (' Cache-control:must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 ');
Header (' Cache-control:private ', false);
Header (' Content-type: '. $mime);
Header (' Content-disposition:attachment filename= '. basename ($file _name);
Header (' content-transfer-encoding:binary ');
Header (' Connection:close ');
ReadFile ($file _name); Push It out
Exit ();
}

if (!is_string ($address)) Die ("All Addresses must to be passed as a string");
$_url = sprintf (' http://maps.google.com/maps?output=js&q=%s ', Rawurlencode ($address));
$_result = false;
if ($_result = file_get_contents ($_url)) {
if (Strpos ($_result, ' errortips ') > 1 | | strpos ($_result, ' Did you mean: ')!== false) return false;
Preg_match ('!center:\s*{lat:\s* (-?\d+\.\d+), lng:\s* (-?\d+\.\d+)}! U ', $_result, $_match);
$_coords[' lat '] = $_match[1];
$_coords[' long '] = $_match[2];
}
return $_coords;
