For people interest in Differential Equations, I've done a function that receive a string like: x^2+x^3 and put it in
2x+3x^2 witch is the differantial of the previous equation.

In the code there is one thing missing: the $string{$i} is often going outOfBound (Uninitialized string offset: 6 in...)
if your error setting is set a little too high... I just dont know how to fix this.

So there is the code for differential equation with (+ and -) only:

<?
function differentiel($equa)
{
    $equa = strtolower($equa);
    echo "Equation de depart: ".$equa."<br>";
    $final = ""; 
    
    for($i = 0; $i < strlen($equa); $i++)
    {
        //Make a new string from the receive $equa
        if($equa{$i} == "x" && $equa{$i+1} == "^")
        {
            $final .= $equa{$i+2};
            $final .= "x^";
            $final .= $equa{$i+2}-1;
        }
        elseif($equa{$i} == "+" || $equa{$i} == "-")
        {
            $final .= $equa{$i};
        }
        elseif(is_numeric($equa{$i}) && $i == 0)
        {
            //gerer parenthese et autre terme generaux + gerer ^apres: 2^2
            $final .= $equa{$i}."*";
        }
        elseif(is_numeric($equa{$i}) && $i > 0 && $equa{$i-1} != "^")
        {
            //gerer ^apres: 2^2
            $final .= $equa{$i}."*";
        }
        elseif($equa{$i} == "^")
        {
            continue;
        }
        elseif(is_numeric($equa{$i}) && $equa{$i-1} == "^")
        {
            continue;
        }
        else
        {
            if($equa{$i} == "x")
            {
                $final .= 1;
            }
            else
            {
                $final .= $equa{$i}; 
            }
        }
    }
    //
    //Manage multiplication add in the previous string $final
    //
    $finalMul = "";
    for($i = 0; $i < strlen($final); $i++)
    {
        if(is_numeric($final{$i}) && $final{$i+1} == "*" && is_numeric($final{$i+2}))
        {
            $finalMul .= $final{$i}*$final{$i+2};
        }
        elseif($final{$i} == "*")
        {
            continue;
        }
        elseif(is_numeric($final{$i}) && $final{$i+1} != "*" && $final{$i-1} == "*")
        {
            continue;
        }
        else
        {
            $finalMul .= $final{$i};    
        }
    }
    echo "equa final: ".$finalMul;
}
?>

I know this is not optimal but i've done this quick :)
If you guys have any comment just email me.
I also want to do this fonction In C to add to phpCore maybe soon...

If you're an aviator and needs to calculate windcorrection angles and groundspeed (e.g. during flightplanning) this can be very useful.



$windcorrection = rad2deg(asin((($windspeed * (sin(deg2rad($tt - ($winddirection-180))))/$tas))));

$groundspeed = $tas*cos(deg2rad($windcorrection)) + $windspeed*cos(deg2rad($tt-($winddirection-180)));



You can probably write these lines more beautiful, but they work!

Wouldn't the following function do the same but a lot easier than the one in the comment before?

function trimInteger($targetNumber,$newLength) {
    return $targetNumber%pow(10,$newLength); 
}

If you need to deal with polar co-ordinates for somereason you will need to convert to and from x,y for input and output in most situations: here are some functions to convert cartesian to polar and polar to cartesian
<?
//returns array of r, theta in the range of 0-2*pi (in radians)
function rect2polar($x,$y)
{
     if(is_numeric($x)&&is_numeric($y))
    {
        $r=sqrt(pow($x,2)+pow($y,2));
        if($x==0)
        {
             if($y>0) $theta=pi()/2;
            else $theta=3*pi()/2;
        }
        else if($x<0) $theta=atan($y/$x)+pi();
        else if($y<0) $theta=atan($y/$x)+2*pi();
        else $theta=atan($y/$x);

And the reason I needed a Factorial function is because I there were no nPr or nCr functions native to PHP, either.

function n_pick_r($n,$r){$n=(int)$n; $r=(int)$r;return (fact($n)/fact($n-$r));}
function n_choose_r($n,$r){$n=(int)$n; $r=(int)$r;return (n_pick_r($n,$r)/fact($r));}

Hope that helps someone!

Here's a simple way way to convert a number to an ordinal number I created:



$i == the number to convert. Put this inside a for loop if you need to populate an array.



<?php

// change increment variable to ordinal number.

$n1 = $i % 100; //first remove all but the last two digits



$n2 = ($n1 < 20 ? $1 : $i % 10; //remove all but last digit unless the number is in the teens, which all should be 'th'



//$n is now used to determine the suffix.

$ord = ($n2==1 ? $i.'st' : ( ($n2==2 ? $i.'nd' : ($n2==3 ? $i.'rd' : $i.'th') ) ) )

Please note that shorter is not always better

(meaning that really short faculty implementation above).



In my opinion, a clearer way to code this is, including a check

for negative or non-integer values.



In order to calculate the faculty of a positive integer,

an iterative way (which might be harder to understand)

is usually a bit faster, but I am using it only for small

values so it is not really important to me:



<?php



    // Calculate the Faculty of a positive int-value

    function iFaculty($a_iFac)

    {

      if ($a_iFac > 0)

      { 

          return $a_iFac * $this->iFaculty($a_iFac - 1);

      }

      elseif ($a_iFac == 0)

      { 

          return 1;

      }

      else

      {

          return 0;  // Wrong argument!

      }

    } 

?>



I've also written another function to calculate the

binomial coefficient of 2 values, I didn't find it anywhere yet so I hope it might help someone (works fine with the above stated faculty-function and ready to be used inside of your own classes!)



<?php



    // calculates the binomial coefficient "n over k" of 2 positive int values

    // for n >= k

    function iBinCoeff($a_iN, $a_iK)

    {

        // the binomial coefficient is defined as n! / [ (n-k)! * k! ]

        return $this->iFaculty($a_iN) / ($this->iFaculty($a_iN - $a_iK) * $this->iFaculty($a_iK));    

    } 



?>

The reason the bitwise AND ("&") operator works to determine whether a number is odd or even is because odd numbers expressed in binary always have the rightmost (2^0) bit = 1 and even numbers always have the 2^0 bit = 0. 

So if you do a " 1 & $num", it will return zero if the number is even (since xxxxxxx0 [the even number in binary] and 00000001 [the 1]) don't share any bits, and will return 1 if the number is odd (xxxxxx1 and 000001).

a clever way of doing things, but $num % 2 would work as well i think :).

Another simpler function to check a number with the luhn algorithm :



<?php

function luhn($num){

    if(!$num)

        return false;

    $num = array_reverse(str_split($num));

    $add = 0;

    foreach($num as $k => $v){

        if($k%2)

            $v = $v*2;

        $add += ($v >= 10 ? $v - 9 : $v);

    }

    return ($add%10 == 0);

}

?>



Don't know if foreach and arrays operations are faster than while and substr, but I feel it clearer.

I think, this is the optimal code for calculating factorials:

<?php
function fact($int){
    if($int<2)return 1;
    for($f=2;$int-1>1;$f*=$int--);
    return $f;
};
?>

And another one for calculating the $int-th Fibonacci-number:

<?php
function fib($int){
    static $fibTable=array();
    return empty($fibTable[$int])?$fibTable[$int] = $int>1?fib($int-2)+fib($int-1):1:$fibTable[$int];

Theres another faster way of doing even/odd number checking by using bitwise operators. Don't ask me how it works, I just found this out by experimenting with it (could the editor possibly explain?)

if ((1&$num)) {
 echo "$num is odd";
}

if (!(1&$num)) {
 echo "$num is even";
}

How it works is (1&$num) returns a 1 for odd numbers and returns 0 when it's an even number.

Occasionally a user must enter a number in a form. This function converts fractions to decimals and leaves decimals untouched. Of course, you may wish to round the final output, but that is not included here.

<?php
/*Some example values of $q
$q = "2.5";
$q = "2 1/2";
$q = "5/2";
*/
function Deci_Con($q){
//check for a space, signifying a whole number with a fraction
    if(strstr($q, ' ')){
        $wa = strrev($q);
        $wb = strrev(strstr($wa, ' '));
        $whole = true;//this is a whole number
    }
//now check the fraction part
    if(strstr($q, '/')){
        if($whole==true){//if whole number, then remove the whole number and space from the calculations
              $q = strstr($q, ' ');
        }
$b = str_replace("/","",strstr($q, '/'));//this is the divisor
//isolate the numerator
$c = strrev($q);
$d = strstr($c, '/');
$e = strrev($d);
$a = str_replace("/","",$e);//the pre-final numerator
        if($whole==true){//add the whole number to the calculations
            $a = $a+($wb*$b);//new numerator is whole number multiplied by denominator plus original numerator    
        }
$q = $a/$b;//this is now your decimal

   if ($n==$m and $n>=1)

Here is how to calculate standard deviation in PHP where $samples is an array of incrementing numeric keys and the values are your samples:

$sample_count = count($samples);

for ($current_sample = 0; $sample_count > $current_sample; ++$current_sample) $sample_square[$current_sample] = pow($samples[$current_sample], 2);

$standard_deviation = sqrt(array_sum($sample_square) / $sample_count - pow((array_sum($samples) / $sample_count), 2));

Here's yet another greatest common denominator (gcd) function, a reeeeally small one.

function gcd($n,$m){
if(!$m)return$n;return gcd($m,$n%$m);
}

It works by recursion. Not really sure about it's speed, but it's really small! This won't work on floating point numbers accurately though. If you want a floating point one, you need to have at least PHP 4, and the code would be

function gcd($n,$m){
if(!$m)return$n;return gcd($m,fmod($n,$m));
