  • Branching Model: clean-up those repos

    Usually, most rookie developers don’t use a VCS (Versioning Control System), like SVN or GIT, in this post I won’t talk about the benefits of using one. This post is dedicated to who are already using a VCS without using a branching model. So, what’s a branch? A branch is a separate development line, where you or your […]

  • Versioning Numbers, make them meaningful

    The version number itself, and more generally the way you manage it, is most of the time underestimated because it’s considered something trivial.It is used to give a chronological order to the software releases and it conveys the useful information about the state and the impact of the release.

  • [ITA] Rimuovere le entità HTML (unhtmlentities)

    Ecco un modo veloce per rimuovere tutte le entità html da una stringa: function unhtmlentities($string) { $string = preg_replace(‘~&#x([0-9a-f]+);~ei’, ‘chr(hexdec(“\\1”))’, $string); $string = preg_replace(‘~&#([0-9]+);~e’, ‘chr(“\\1”)’, $string); $trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES); $trans_tbl = array_flip($trans_tbl); return strtr($string, $trans_tbl);} questa funzione sostituisce sia le entità numeriche che quelle testuali.
