| 04:20.28 | justingiboney | Good Evening! |
| 04:21.56 | justingiboney | I guess everybody is asleep |
| 04:22.56 | wps | nope |
| 04:23.04 | wps | kicking some Russian spammer butt! |
| 04:23.53 | justingiboney | sweet! |
| 04:25.35 | justingiboney | what exactly are you doing to him/her? |
| 04:27.51 | wps | added a small hack to the WordPress registration on some site that I administer so that an additional field is required |
| 04:28.56 | wps | so that the bots that just roll around the internet auto-posting to WP registration forms/scripts, will not have POSTed sufficient variables |
| 04:29.14 | justingiboney | sweet |
| 04:29.59 | wps | I'm tired of receiving two or so emails each day for bogus accounts that are created and having to log in and delete them |
| 04:30.10 | wps | ~lart Russian spammers |
| 04:30.10 | jbot | DoSes Russian spammers |
| 04:30.15 | wps | booyah! |
| 04:30.22 | wps | take that! |
| 05:20.31 | justingiboney | thinking up test questions is hard |
| 05:21.11 | justingiboney | but a lot of fun! |

| 05:35.21 | justingiboney | so how many questions would be a good number to test phpers? |
| 05:37.43 | herlo | 3 |
| 05:38.22 | herlo | to be honest, the number of questions is less relevant than the amount of quality information you'd need to know. |
| 05:39.10 | herlo | in other words, this test should take you one hour because most good php programmers can do it in 45 minutes is more relevant than it'll be 45 questions long |
| 05:39.18 | justingiboney | ya I need to come up with a way to control that... |
| 05:40.27 | justingiboney | the question is.. can I get people to submit questions? |
| 05:42.26 | justingiboney | I think I have some good one, but maybe they are too easy |
| 05:48.54 | justingiboney | well, good night |

| 18:28.53 | bradym | anyone around good with regex? |
| 18:37.47 | beandog | sure |
| 18:40.27 | beandog | bradym: whats up |
| 18:40.56 | bradym | trying to decipher some javascript someone else wrote and I suck at regex ;) |
| 18:41.18 | bradym | s = s.replace(/<\\/?t.*?>/g, '#'); |
| 18:41.20 | influx^^ | oh my heck, like, cant you, like, totally google it? |
| 18:41.31 | influx^^ | *giggle* |
| 18:41.32 | bradym | like, uh, duh |
| 18:41.38 | influx^^ | Heh. |
| 18:41.52 | bradym | tried that and got frustrated |
| 18:41.54 | bradym | ;) |
| 18:41.59 | influx^^ | Si. |
| 18:42.27 | beandog | hmm |
| 18:42.32 | beandog | my brain just shut down |
| 18:42.50 | bradym | so what i get from that line of code is that it's searching for all occurances of something and replacing them with # -- but i can't figure out what it's replacing |
| 18:43.08 | beandog | its searching for < starting with t |
| 18:43.26 | beandog | or </t something |
| 18:43.34 | beandog | so table stuff I guess. |
| 18:44.03 | beandog | its badly written if thats what its trying to do |
| 18:44.23 | beandog | since they could have done t(able|d|h) |
| 18:44.28 | beandog | anyway. |
| 18:45.06 | bradym | hmm.. |
| 18:45.27 | bradym | so then the next line is: s = s.replace(/# ?/g, '#'); |
| 18:45.48 | beandog | thats just trimming "# " to "#" |
| 18:45.57 | bradym | ahh.. ok |
| 18:46.08 | bradym | that makes more sense |
| 18:47.10 | bradym | i realy need to get better at regex stuff, but everytime i try i get frustrated and go do something else |
| 18:47.15 | bradym | really* |
| 18:47.40 | beandog | print out a reference card of the special characters / commands |
| 18:47.51 | beandog | the /g on the end says replace all instances |
| 18:47.55 | beandog | \\/ is just escaping / |
| 18:48.01 | beandog | . == any character |
| 18:48.08 | beandog | .* == any character repeated any # of times |
| 18:48.15 | influx^^ | i had to find out about . the hard way |
| 18:48.25 | beandog | \\/? / might or might not exist |
| 18:48.31 | influx^^ | I turned on regex in bbedit and replaced a ton of things I didn't want to. |
| 18:48.50 | bradym | hehe.. yeah, i've done that before too |
| 18:49.19 | bradym | ok, one more: s = s.replace(/\\s+/g, ' '); |
| 18:50.03 | bradym | replacing something with a space, but \\s+ is loosing me |
| 18:51.21 | beandog | + == occurs once / more than once |
| 18:53.51 | bradym | ok, so if i'm reading that right it's replacing all whitespace with a single space? |
| 18:55.09 | beandog | no, with at least one spce |
| 18:55.30 | beandog | one space would be \s |
| 18:56.23 | bradym | ok, all occurances of one space or more with a single space |
| 18:57.00 | bradym | thanks beandog :) |
| 18:57.20 | bradym | now if i can just figure out the rest of this code maybe i can figure out how to fix it |
