The Feedback Form Wizard has been fixed so that it can now, once again, create the CAPTCHA versions (ReCAPTCHA and hCaptcha) of the script. Apparently, somewhere along the line, I seem to have broken it during one of my inteal updates. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. Note: you do not have to recreate your script if you successfully generated it before. (The problem was that under certain conditions, the wizard choked and died before it could generate a script. So if you actually received a script, you are fine.), ...ادامه مطلب

You know, it's funny how the big milestones can sneak up on us. Just as I was putting the finishing touches on my recent Headless Hashnode tutorial, I realized it's been 15 years since I started this blogging jouey—and what's more, I was just 1 post away from blog update 500! It got me thinking about how this whole blogging adventure has shaped my career in web development. I’ve had the same enthusiasm for sharing my experiences as I have for coding, and what better way to commemorate this occasion than to share a bit of that story? Getting started It all started back in 2009 as a university student studying web design at the since-closed Hull School of Art and Design, An early assignment was creating a blog, not even a dynamically driven one - although mine certainly was - and the content expectations were simple too, just a post or 2 for every semester. For me, I began pouring my newfound knowledge into blog posts or tutorials—basic at first, like a PHP script connecting to a MySQL database. As time went on and my understanding broadened, so did the richness of my content. A huge motivation at the time was how helpful this content was for my classmates. I've always loved helping people, and seeing my content become a go-to reference for those around me boosted my confidence to no end. Tinkering and Transformation As the content of my blog evolved so did the blog platform itself. I've always loved deep-diving into how things work, and creating a blog has always been a cycl, ...ادامه مطلب

That begs the question how do you separate the time into seperate elements? Making use of explode can work. Exploding where there a : so: $parts = explode(':', '14:25:00'); This would result in an array: [ "14", "25", "00", ] To use an element you can refer to its index for example $parts[0] would contain 14 Using them by their index is fine to do but kinda messy. I prefer to give each element a name using the list function list($hours, $minutes, $seconds) = explode(':', '14:25:00'); When using list() passing an array to it will allow you to name each index of the array in the order listed. Putting this into practice I like to define the null versions before using list to ensure the variables will exist. $estimatedTime = 14:25:00; $estimatedHour = null; $estimatedMinute = null; $estimatedSeconds = null; list($estimatedHour, $estimatedMinute, $estimatedSeconds) = explode(':', $estimatedTime); Now we have the variables that can be used in select menus: note I'm using Blade syntax here for readability. <select name="estimatedTime_hour"> <option value="0">Hours</option> @foreach(range(0,23) as $hour) <option value="{{ $hour }}" {{ old('estimatedTime_hour', $estimatedHour) == $hour ? 'selected=selected' : '' }}>{{ $hour }}</option> @endforeach </select> <select name="estimatedTime_minute"> <option value="0">Minutes&l, ...ادامه مطلب

Let's say you have a blog and have posts ordered by their published date. Later you decide you want to pin certain posts. Pinned posts should be displayed before any other posts regardless of their published date. The Solution You can accomplish this by modifying the order clause in the query. Take this order: ->orderBy('published_at', 'desc') This will order posts by their published date in descending order. Adding a second-order clause: ->orderBy('is_pinned', 'desc')->orderBy('published_at', 'desc'); This time ordered by a is_pinned column then order by the published_at column. This will show the posts pinned first and then show the posts in their published order. The Setup Adding a migration to add a column called is_pinned to a posts table php artisan make:migration add_pinned_field_to_posts Migration <?php use IlluminateSupportFacadesSchema; use IlluminateDatabaseSchemaBlueprint; use IlluminateDatabaseMigrationsMigration; class AddPinnedFieldToPosts extends Migration { /** * Run the migrations. * * @retu void */ public function up() { Schema::table('posts', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->boolean('is_pinned')->default(false); }); } /** * Reverse the migrations. * * @retu void */ public function down() { Schema::table('posts', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->dropColumn('is_pinned'); , ...ادامه مطلب
