Better Session handling in php app
Have you ever wondered why your session are not properly working as expected? Well session depends on various server configurations. On this post I will show you better way to handle sessions in your php apps.
garbage collection max life time: This is to set the no of seconds you want your session to be live on your app. Can be around 1 -2 hrs to whole day depending upon you apps. default is 1400 secs which might now be what you want. These code goes to your bootstrap file or header file where your php app uses as setting environment for your app.
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 'replace this with no of seconds you want your session to be live');
If you have changed the above value then you will need to set a separate session directory for your app. which can be in your home folder.
So this will make sure it is not overridden by other apps setting.
ini_set('session.save_path', 'path to the session writable directory');
After you set up this two settings in your apps. You will be better session handling in your php app. Make sure the session save path is writable. or you can also use saving session data to database approach as i have mentioned before here.

Print_r function in javascript
So you frequently use print_r for debugging your php codes? are you in need of equivalent function in javascript? Yes i was and you might be too. It is really hard to debug the code without print_r functionality. Below is the code that you can use to make something equivalent in javascript aswell.
function dump(arr,level) {
var dumped_text = "";
if(!level) level = 0;
//The padding given at the beginning of the line.
var level_padding = "";
for(var j=0;j<level+1;j++) level_padding += " ";
if(typeof(arr) == 'object') { //Array/Hashes/Objects
for(var item in arr) {
var value = arr[item];
if(typeof(value) == 'object') { //If it is an array,
dumped_text += level_padding + "'" + item + "' ...\n";
dumped_text += dump(value,level+1);
} else {
dumped_text += level_padding + "'" + item + "' => \"" + value + "\"\n";
}
}
} else { //Stings/Chars/Numbers etc.
dumped_text = "===>"+arr+"<===("+typeof(arr)+")";
}
return dumped_text;
}
Place this function in your js code at top then to debug any variable object or array use this
alert(dump(variable));
That’s it I hope you find it useful coz it has really helped me a lot in my daily development works.
subisu internet sucks
I have been using subisu internet for a while. I was offered 3 months subisu internet for the rate of NRs 3000 per month but the subisu cable internet I was offered was the worst I had ever experienced. I didnot expected subisu would ever do this to me. There was frequent down time in my area. At most there was 2 days down time. and for least there was 2 hrs down time a day. so what i asked subisu for refund was to extend the time of their subisu internet service for me. What they offered me was just 1 day extension. of subisu internet and this just sucks I expected for better customer satisfaction from subisu but this was the worst experience ever. I was satisfied with ntc ADSL and now I am sorry I even considered subisu. I will be never returning back to subisu again and will suggest everyone to stay away from subisu. because their service sucks. I am working on new site reportisp.com where consumer will be able to repost about their ISP. I hope this will bring some awareness among consumers so that the provider won’t be able to tell any consumer to go mike around tudikhel and it would not effect them. I am strict and sure, don’t even consider subisu cable internet from subisu if you are serious about internet and want it to be available 24/7. I will even mike and share about my frustration with subisu with everyone i encounter and tell them to stay away from the subisu service. They really suck. ADSL is the best service if you want better internet for browsing. there are other ISP you can consider with. Don’t even consider subisu if you are serious about nternet. Try websurfer or himaltech
