Create a random password:


usage: CreatePasswd( 8,True,False)

Usage: cscript //nologo RandPass.vbs [password_length]|[?] [complexity] [uniqueness]

This script will generate a random password of X length. It will build the password from seed 'strings of increasing complexity.
1 - simple is the lower case alphabet, numbers 2-9 and !@#$%^&*() all randomly interspersed.
2 - complex is the same as the previous with the addition of UPPER case letters.
3 - insane is the same as the previous with the additional symbols of ,./?>;'[]}{\|~`:
The numbers 0 and 1 have been removed to avoid confusion with the letters O and L.

password_length should be a number between 4 and 127, although a limit of 14 is recommended for Win9x clients. Default is 7
complexity must be 1,2 or 3
uniqueness value of 0 will make each password character unique. A value of 1 [default] will allow repeated characters.

If you don't pass values at the command prompt, you will be prompted for each value.

Takes a given directory and lists all the files and folders under it, including sub folders. Resulting array contains associative (folders) and indexed (files) elements. Doesn't return "." and ".."

This function takes a directory, and a "folder" search parameter.
If it finds the directory (either in single level, or any sub folder) it will return the relative path of that folder. "FALSE" if not found. Skips over files and "." and ".." directories. Recursive by default.

This function tries to locate a file in a give folder (either single level, or in any sub folder). Returns the relative file and path, or FALSE if not found. Skips over "." and "..".

Best use of ob_, custom error handling, and variable variales evar: simple templating.

_parse($filename[,$locals])
includes $filename and renders its output to the return value. $locals, if used, will add a set of variables to the included context.

Parse($template[,$locals])
Same as above, but allows you to define a base template folder and omit the .php - just for cleaner code.

t($template[,$obj])
...
t()
Same as Parse, but any output between the opening call and the closing call (no arguments) will be buffered intot he $content variable of the template.

Play around with t(..) to find out more; I don't feel like documenting it.

This little function does great for passwords, usernames, files, and anything else you need a random string for.

This php script provides a unique random key with 32 characters and can be used to avoid the system to pass some primary keys across the url, by example.

A simple function (with support) that can provide the backbone to any templating system.

My previous entry on an easy to use SQLite interface for XUL/JS got me thinking: how many times have I had to write functions that were just wrappers for a little SQL?

Below is the fruits of that little query (excuse the pun). Forgive the dbXXX functions; my implementation depended on a small portion of a larger mysql library that I've grown accustomed to coding with.
