Today I have a little update for the DCallbacks library. Its been about one year since it was updated last time, so 0.2 of samp is released and the user [em]NeedAName[/em] found an issue, while using the library.

So I took some minutes, fixed that issue, and released DCallbacks 1.1.

On lua mailing list somebody asked if there is any way to check very short if an element is in a specific list of elements.

In php you would do for example

if (in_array("A",array("A","B","C")) ) { echo "hello"; }

Of course, everyone can write a short in_table function in lua:

Custom icons: Add that little html+javascript code to your website and it will load the on.png or off.png in your webfolder! Of course you can change this source snippet so it fits your needs!

XML for the geeks: I have also finished an xml-feed at [em]http://hglondon.net/server/list.xml[/em] so if you are expirienced in xml-encoding you can write a interpreter for it in any language you want!

I had the problem, that I wanted to sort an array of builds by name, but names could be 1.1 or, 2.10.0.1 or even 2.0.9.

Thatswhy I made the following sort alogrithm in PHP by using usort and an own compare function.

function builds_sort($a, $b) {
    if ($a['name']==$b['name']) {
        return 0;
    }
    $ap=explode('.',$a['name']);
    $bp=explode('.',$b['name']);
    foreach ($ap as $pos => $number) {
        if (!isset($bp[$pos])) {
          return 1;
        } elseif ($number > $bp[$pos]) {
          return 1;
        } elseif ($number < $bp[$pos]) {
          return -1;
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

// Testarray
$builds=array(
    array("name"=>"2.1.0","id"=>"210","suite_id"=>1),
    array("name"=>"2.1.1","id"=>"211","suite_id"=>1),
    array("name"=>"3.0.0","id"=>"3","suite_id"=>1),
    array("name"=>"10","id"=>"3","suite_id"=>1),
    array("name"=>"2.1.10","id"=>"2110","suite_id"=>1),
    array("name"=>"2.1.2","id"=>"212","suite_id"=>1)
);

usort ($builds,"builds_sort");

This function sorts each element by "name" with DESC.

Some of you may have expirienced the issue, that php's

imagestring-function doesn't properly show UTF-8 characters.

As workaround you can use the imagettftext-function.

When using imageTTFtext instead of imagestring, you have to know, that you don't use the $font-ids from PHP, instead you use fontfiles.

So:

imagestring ( resource $im, int $font, int $x, int $y, string $s, int $color )

becomes to:

imagettftext ( resource $im, int $size, int $angle, int $x, int $y, int $color, string $fontfile, string $text ) 

Keep $angle=0 if you want just horizontal-text. Hope that helps!
